Graphic. Fausto Puglisi Pre-Fall’14

January 8, 2014January 8, 2014 | Design & Culture by Ed

Fausto Puglisi pre-fall collection for women is totally booming with sex-appeal. With it’s sharp cuts in the skirts and dresses, the collection seems to be perfect for showing off your leg. The collection is covered all over with kaleidoscopic prints and strong colours, although some looks are very simple. For example the coats with some colour block! The model, Yumi Lambert, kicks off in a great way all these denim jackets and skinny trousers… Fausto Puglisi certainly is the member of the new Italian designers!

Real-Life. Lanvin Pre-Fall’14

January 7, 2014 | Design & Culture by Ed

“Women are looking for more reality” said Alber Elbaz, the designer of Lanvin after the trunkshow. That meant that a smoking jacket was paired with track pants boasting tuxedo stripes down the sides, and that a glamorous leopard-spot coat was actually made from a woven black-and-white jacquard. Elbaz did a lot of clever thinking about outerwear. A duffel built on a grosgrain ribbon base had the slouched-on ease of a cardigan, while what looked like a shearling was actually a jersey coat bonded with an outer layer of mohair, and thus superlight. Definitely, one of the most beautiful Lanvin collection for a decade.

Men’s: Power. Kane AW14

Christopher Kane is moment’s biggest designer from UK. His inspiration taken from science, work good for women and for men… And we know that from his previous collections (NOTE: AW13 chemistry theme and SS14 biological flower anatomy)! The menswear AW14 collection was a mix of elegant clothes and prints that was full of nuclear power- my favourite piece from the collection was definitely the printed t-shirt with an atom motive on. With Christopher Kane, we are getting really cosmic now!

Men’s: Ceremony. Craig Green AW14

January 7, 2014September 3, 2014 | Design & Culture by Ed

Craig Green, one of the menswear designer of MAN LCM in London, showed his new show yesterday. Known for wooden structures and dyed costumes worn by men, Green changed his fashion perspective into something more ready-to-wear. His AW14 collection was all about hand-painted utilitarian coats and harness accessories. The models went down the runway in long, oversized coats, reassembling a pilgrim or something like that… The collection felt a bit mysterious and harsh. But- the clothes were beautiful. Dark, hand painted cotton robes and trousers are the new fashion ceremonials created by the fresh face of London menswear scene, Craig Green!

Urban-Tribe. Givenchy Pre-Fall’14

January 6, 2014January 8, 2014 | Design & Culture by Ed

Looks like we have the most amazing collection for Pre-Fall! Riccardo Tisci outdid himself- this collection for Givenchy is so beautiful, oriental but at the same time modern! Full of sequinned sari dresses, masculine boots and blazers, colourful gowns and printed jackets, the presentation was done in snowy New York with models like Jamie Bochert. I’s kept in Riccardo’s recent mood- African tribal style mixed with casual urban pieces. The collection is not only interesting, but also very refreshing and elegant!
