Slide11

December 24: Merry Christmas everyone! The wait is over- the first day of Christmas starts now. And if talking of fashion, out of 24 people who stole my heart this year, Nicolas Ghesquiere of Louis Vuitton wins the game. Since his first collection for LV, Nicolas brings chic, travel-inspired and aesthetical view to the Parisian house. With his friends like Marie Amelie Sauve or Pelayo Diaz, Nicolas Ghesquiere makes the Parisian fashion weeks anticipated more than ever! Specially for this occasion, lets shortly review what his 2014 looked like.

Phoebe Philo / Advent 2014

| Design & Culture by Ed

Slide10

December 23: Phoebe Philo is the woman who knows what women want. And women approve.

Sophie Hicks, architect –  The clothes are not tricky and they are never vulgar. If you want to feel right in your clothes and you don’t want to show off, or show your wealth, then you wear Celine by Phoebe.

Sadie Coles, gallerist – I’m particularly fond of anything that apes men’s wear and Celine comes the closest with its craftsmanship. They have a deep affinity with that feeling of luxury within materials. Wearing Celine is like driving a very, very expensive car.

Camilla Nickerson, editor – She understands how a working mom and a woman in today’s world needs to move and get through her day. She also can easily absorb and translate the culture. So her clothes make you feel connected to what it is to be in today’s world.

Rochas / Advent 2014

December 22: Alessandro Dell’Acqua had a busy and fruity year- he made his own label, N.21, the tt-label of every Milan women, and re-invented Rochas, the old couture brand from Paris. He brought chic, beautiful embellishments and fresh silhouettes to the house, creating a wardrobe for lady-like, bold characters. Rochas is not only a go-to for New Year Eve, but for every other event.

Marques Almeida / Advent 2014

Slide07

December 19: Marta Marques and Paulo Almeida are a lovely couple which makes the most eccentric denim (and not only) fashion in the world. Playing with volumes, colours and vibes, since the beginning Marques Almeida has been acclaimed by fashion editors as the new “go-to” brand of the year. My favourite thing that they did for 2014, was their crazy, very strong AW14 collection, where the designers had fun with fur stoles! Marta and Paulo also created a “spark”, making their signature fabric get really important on the London fashion scene.
