This amazing coat by Prada comes straight from the runway of SS14. While the collection is spectacular and it reflects in perfect way how the fashion genius of Miuccia Prada links with art, this coat is definitely the must-have. With a printed face of a women (notice that one eye is embroidered!) kept in nice, earthy colour palette, the shoulder-point coat is surely a thing to invest. If you have a spare 3000 euros, of course.
Since yesterday, Sterling Ruby is the hottest artist of the moment. Why? He collaborated with Raf Simons on his AW14 Menswear collection in Paris, by creating the venue decoration and putting some artistic effort into the collection. And the collection was… well, a bit unexpected. Raf Simons usually does sophisticated sportswear, and now we have something vibrant, colourful. With some cosmic details on (the bumber boots look seriously out of this world!) the sweatshirts and coats, the collection was simply cool and fresh. The radiant chunky knitwears with square patches, camel coats broken with Mondrian like print and paint splash shirts are my favourites. It’s visible, who is the real art collector in the industry…
Jean Francois Lepage looks for unbalanced in his photographs. So he reworks his negatives with a knife to create strange images that can now be seen in Inside the mirror exhibition in Galerie Made, Paris. Jean-François Lepage does fashion photography on the razor’s edge. His images, with their bare compositions – solitary figures, no accessories, immersed in an endless lunar landscape or a vast, almost empty white house – express a brand of minimalism seldom seen in fashion photography. They are strangely motionless, as if suspended in a time and space where women are beings possessed by dreams, living in a world where the photographer, the model and the viewer’s imagination project and come together.
Alaia is one of the most important fashion visionaires in the history. His body dresses, great craftmanship, beauty of the fabrics and fairy-tale creations are beloved by the biggest fashionistas, models, curators, journalists and others. Azzedine Alaia is so previledged, that he can show his collections whenever he wants. And 2013 was his year. Firstly, he opened a new flagship store in Paris. And then, monsieur A.A. got a great exhibition in Musee Galliera. In this museum, you can see the most important and out of this world gowns made out of metal, coats with crocodile tails and sea-shells on bustiers. After seeing it all, I am still amazed about how this man changed the fashion world, making young designers inspired by him. And I recomend you, to go there too. And fast because the exhibition closes on January 26!
These shoes just left me speechless. Art! Comme des Garçons SS14
