Tilda Swinton in Cannes

May 27, 2013 | Design & Culture by Ed

While all the stars like Anne Hathaway or Laetisia Casta wear their Dior’s and Valentino’s Couture gowns, Tilda Swinton never go on the easier path. I mean, she looks easier (not so tired like Uma Thurman in this silver Versace dress), but much more stylish. Tilda breaks all stereotypes of a costume at a big Gala. We will not see her in Gucci nor Chanel, but in… Haider Ackerman! Just like this time! Swinton, that look a bit like David Bowie, reminds me of stylish rock and roll in this sequined golden jumsuit by Paris based designer. She is my definite number one this year at Cannes Festival!

Pre-Fall 2013 Trend – Tartan’s Attack!

May 2, 2013July 6, 2017 | Design & Culture by Ed

It’s the time when summer collections are changing into the pre-fall ones, were the new trends are waiting for you! Soon, all e-shops will already have the first tastes of winter and the biggest upcoming trend on horizon is check print! Everything here is in characteristic colours that came from Scotland! Chanel is winning with the Queen of Scotts, Mary story and their a bit punk vibe that will be ultimate trend this season. Preen made it more casual with the street like sweatshirt and Gucci went more 70’s. Very elegant as Dior by Raf Simons. The Celine cabas bag is also tartanised strongly like the beautiful runway coat. And from archives, I found Altuzarra most following the trend- this parka with fur and checked skirts are so sexy looking!

Tisci and Friends

March 20, 2013November 4, 2014 | Design & Culture by Ed

I think Riccardo Tisci really got a rotweiller in his ass (in a good way of course)! Tisci is the creative director of Givenchy and is one of the most influencial menswear and womenswear designer from Paris. He is known for prints (Rottweiler, flowers, Madonna, Jesus, etc.) and street inspired clothing. And it’s not the end. He had his two whole interviews and editorials in Self Service and GQ (the one I’m showing is from Self Service), will design ballerina costumes for Bolero in one of the most known Parisian opera, makes friends with Kanye West and Jay-Z and if like it wasn’t enough, he created amazing scene costumes for Rihanna’s Diamond Tour. Crazy, isn’t it?

In the Self Service editorial Tisci is in his Atelier Givenchy “house” in Paris (it’s on Avenue George V, the building is next to Balenciaga boutique) siting on black sofa with his favourite model Joan Smalls and his friends from the runways. Of course every one wears pre-fall 2013 collection. And here I’ve got some backsatge pics from recent Givenchy show- full of grunge, romantic vibes, prints and Givenchy spirit. I personally loved the collection! It is the real Parisienne chic!

Julien David “Dinosaur”

February 26, 2013December 29, 2013 | Design & Culture by Ed

Julien David is now one of the newest hotttest designers! The SS13 collection, showed that Julien has his own style, and wants to show off his inspirations of childish life. Lots of dinisaurs, toys, ink prints on shirts and tops- as he called the collection- “spoiled kids”! And this transparent black top with red sign DINOSAUR is just so great! Available still on Colette!
