Twinset. Marc Jacobs Resort’14

June 4, 2013August 28, 2014 | Design & Culture by Ed

Marc Jacobs suprised! And in a good meaning! Well, I thought, that Marc would do something, you know, full of flowers, colours and everything like everytime for the Resorts. And that’s totally not true! The Resort is like a continuation of SS13 and AW13. Glamorous sequins, 70’s polo shirts and skirts, New York “Great Gatsby” epoque and of course… Stripes! The collection is very mature, totally not sweet and cute as last resort.
Is Marc getting a bit of inspiration from… Prada? Look at the blue stripes- and now see SS11 of Miuccia Prada. The crepe skirts are just like Miu Miu SS13 and use of fur in summer? Plus there are also lots of crystals that were in the 2010 Prada era… As for me that’s totally clear- Miuccia Prada and Marc Jacobs are life friends so why not? Will we see soon a collab of these two!
And back to the collection- Jaime Bochert looks beautiful here! Just as the collection!

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!

Girl From Loft. Band of Outsiders AW13

February 12, 2013August 11, 2014 | Design & Culture by Ed

This is a story about a girl, whose living on Greene Street in SoHO, New York, where actually is the fashion week. She lives in a old but kind of youth spirited loft on the second floor. Her apartament is like about 65 m2. She likes to party hard at night, in day she is cool but a bit “strange”… She has lots of friends and enemies- but still she is amazing. I would call her a bit psycho but amzing. Wears a school girl velvet dress with white collar and tomboy shoes… The name of this story is Band of Outsiders AW 2014! The collection was great! Loved the knitted hats and all the dresses that were like school girls but with some punk in. Additionally, they were worn with black long gloves and flat shoes in white and black colour. And the plum colour leather skirts with some dot shirt was also a great composition. But the most impressing was last look- the velvet blue maxi dress with pink and violet embelished sequins- that was such a great ending! Hope to see more collections like this one by this label!

Fur Hunters. Altuzarra AW13

February 10, 2013November 1, 2014 | Design & Culture by Ed

It’s still getting colder in NYC, where actually is the Fashion Week. But no worries, looking at all the furry gloves, coats and sweaters, no freeze is scary anymore! We are talking of course about Altuzarra, that showed his collection today. And I should say I am impresses. I think his ready to wear collection will be a must have on every on line site! The dresses were simple, but in nice deep colours. There was a lot of white and black contrast. And leather was the most shown. Everything was complete and easy!

And then god created Altuzarra fur coat and fur gloves. These two are just mind-blowing! The white fur coat with some black elements, also have some tails at the end of each sleeve! But if you chose more leather, there are also some chick tailored coats with black leather and fur at collars. Because fur is trendy, Joseph Altuzarra put it even on the top of dresses giving it a sophisticated look!

Men’s: AW13 for Louis Vuitton

January 19, 2013January 20, 2013 | Design & Culture by Ed

Louis Vuitton knows how to amaze me. This time, LV was awesome! Kim Jones, the deigner, is just a menswear genius! The collection started from faded leopard coats, then into black. The sport jackets with fur and backpacks are just perfect for a stylish trip to mountains and the 70’s floral kimonos look like they were taken from Tibet! The whole collection was like a trip to this magical place in Asia. Mountains, snow, Asian-culture influences, dragons… The bags from traditional tapestry shown some mystic stories and the super cute sweater with a comic leopard will be for sure must have in Paris street style (the same as the beige too big scarves from last season). And look at the backpacks- they are edgy with youthful vibe, although they look practically for a journey to a ideal snowy country… Maybe Switzerland, Italy, France or Aspen?
