French art students learn about Jean Pierre Raynaud at school. He was the conceptualist who spent 25 years building his house, only to decide it was too perfect and, in 1993, tear it to bits. Piece d’Anarchive, the fresh label coming straight from Paris, is a buzzy, loudly printed and cool vibed brand, that’s pretty new in fashion world. Their first real collection happened last season, and their second is up here, for Spring. Piece d’Anarchive designs for men and women, and their look-books make me want everything! The new collection is inspired with famous monochrome prints that were created by Jean Pierre Raynaud. Shorts, dresses, shoes (!), tshirts… everything is in black & white checks. The womenswear looks really hot and cool, and menswear is simply omething I want for a Christmas present! Just look at these trousers and sweatshirts! Love it! More on http://www.piecedanarchive.com

Jamie. Proenza Schouler Pre-Fall’14
Proenza Schouler collection for Pre-Fall 2014 is definitely one of the coolest. The hottest label from New York did a small Pre-collection that joins all their biggest hits- navajo prints, minimalistic coats and amazing shoes. I really love all the colours and fabrics (shrilling and suede) …They seem to be so warm! As always, tapping the most coolest model ever, Jamie Bochert, the collection underlines again, that the New York chic is owned by Proenza. P.s. It seems that orange will be back during Autumn 2014… Just see the Altuzarra collection!
City Girl. Rag & Bone Pre-Fall’14
Rag & Bone’s new collection for Fall is a selection of basic black & white clothes for every city-jungle girl. Everything looks very comfortable and easy to wear- just like everything what’s Rag & Bone. Mixed with every-day life accessories like I ❤️ NY bag or Coca-Cola can, the collection seems to be great for every occasion- for work, jog in the park or a evening party at your friends! What do you think?
The Fringe
The Fringe is one of the most emerging trends for SS14- they were seen on blouses, bags, dresses, trousers, etc. In other words everywhere. The fringe trend is a bit taken from cowboys and South American cultures- the frenzy pieces of leather that were cut into narrow pieces, for some time were said to be kitsch and cheap looking… but as we can see, everuthing has it’s comebacks. My favourite looks are by Altuzarra, Valentino and Dries Van Noten- that makes it slightly more bohemique!

Peacoat. Altuzarra Pre-Fall’14
Joseph Altuzarra’s New York based label Altuzarra had it’s first ever Pre-Fall collection launched yesterday. As the brand is sponsored and owned by Kering Group, this elegant label shows it’s best this Pre-Fall season. The classical peacots, Romanian blouses, French stripes… Altuzarra is showing it’s sex-appeal and NY chic in all of these looks. Beautiful colours like red, beige and orange were amazingly composed in checked dresses and skirts… The Altuzarra woman for fall is elegant, but keeps it modern and sexy for everyday! And… Some good news are coming- mules are trendy for good. Just have a look!
