Art of Miuccia. Prada SS14

September 19, 2013September 19, 2013 | Design & Culture by Ed

Milan Fashion Week has always one label that I would most love to see first. And it’s of course Prada. But what kind of Prada- Miuccia really outdid herself for Summer 2014. The collection was all about Italian modern artists, and specifically, Italian female artist. The venue of the show was all covered with a kind of graffiti representing women in different sceneries- one in a jungle, second in a pink background. But all of them had one thing in common- their edgy way of dressing!
First look, first impressions- difficult colours for Summer and prints of women on skirts. Wow. Then embroideries. Then fur (just like Summer ago. Yes, this collection about geishas…) coats and again amazing prints. I thing this is one of the most collector edition season by Miuccia- well, every collection of Prada is like a limit edition, but this is really the type that is just begging to be found in wardrobe. Even one of these cute clutches or pair of these crazy shoes! This collection is simply… A piece of art that can be worn one women! Applause for Prada!!! ❤❤❤

Fun. Fendi SS14

The SS14 from Fendi was all about Summer fun- flowless beach dresses, beautiful red tops and amazing detailing. And… Well, of course fur. But Fendi collection is not Fendi without even a bit of fur. This season was very important for Fendi. After Karl Lagerfeld and Silvia Fendi restorated together with City of Rome the Trevi Fountain, in Italy Fendi is not only a expensive label for rich women. It’s also a national jewel, sponsor of most cultural landscapes restorations in Rome! And thats really good! Coming back to the collection, I adored it strongly. The detailing is impressive, but at the same time it seems so cool and youthful… Karl knows how to shake up something correctly. Always. And I love him for this.

Heritage. No.21 SS14

September 19, 2013 | Design & Culture by Ed

No.21 is a label, that after few years when it was totally forgot, now is again pounding full with new Milanese chic under the wings of Allesandro Dell’ Aqua! I should say, that the SS14 collection from the designer is a masterpiece. Beautiful lace skirts, embroidered shirts and printed tops were seen with laser cuts and florals. The collection was simple, but the key is in detail. What I loved most was on of these looks with an amazing green laced dress and creme top- so light and made with best, Italian quality. I am definitely waiting for from Mr. Dell Aqua at this small, but stylish label from Milan!

The Beautiful Mind Series 1.

August 25, 2013November 4, 2013 | Design & Culture by Ed

“From the A Beautiful Mind series, a long-lasting perfume and the floral notes will continue to lure with their exotic whispers for hours and hours. The difference you will notice in the dry down is a softer kind of sultriness (courtesy of the heavy dose of cashmeran) and a woody backdrop that is at once dry (cedar) and sweet (sandalwood).”With a beautiful packed bottle of fragrance and with a hologram postcard attached to it, this perfume that was created in Berlin, in mind that our brain remember best only the scents, this mixture of oriental aromats is the product of high technology and bio productions. The Beautiful Mind Series 1. is all about Intelligence and Fantasy!

Milan: DAAD

August 22, 2013August 22, 2013 | Design & Culture by Ed

DAAD in Milan is a conceptual store full of dark aesthetic clothes, Comme des Garcons perfumes and a la Rick Owens coats. Indeed, the clothes and less known labels in this store are styled very much on Rick Owens and Maison Martin Margiela from the past. Nothing here is like it seems- a coat can be a shirt and trousers a skirt! The interior reminds me a bit of -PN/P in Florence, that was also dark and very artistic! I love this place! And there was this one coat with fur that I am eternally in love from now on…
