MIETIS 2

I’m so happy to post the work I’ve done lately for Mietis! The six collages, joint together to tell a surreal, out-of-this-world narration, depict the mood behind Maria Fontanellas‘ (the brand’s designer) autumn-winter 2018 collection.

With its Spanish origins, Mietis is a reflection of a familiar savoir faire. The family leather tanning tradition, run by three generations since 1954, brought Maria back to Igualada. Here, she opened her atelier in which top quality leather is the essence – reinterpreted in a contemporary way. The collections are defined by Fontanellas’s unique and transgressive design and attention to detail, with an emphasis on tailoring (inspired with David Bowie and the bull fighters, for instance) and an eclectic use of materials and custom-developed fabrics.

All collages by Edward Kanarecki, exclusively commissioned by Mietis.

Molly Goddard & Her Charm

molly

It’s impossible not to fall in love with Molly Goddard‘s charming, carefree and one-of-a-kind designs. During the last London Fashion Week, I had an impression that it was Molly’s show that really stood out the most. I wrote about the slight Lady Bird feeling I had throughout the autumn-winter 2018 outing. And now, when I’m looking back at this tulle-loving and gingham-patterned collection, so much optimism comes up to my mind. It’s like Kylie Minogue’s ecstatic Impossible Princess album from 1997 – loud, powerful, happy. Also, everyone should admit that Goddard’s impact across the industry (and other designers’ moodboards…) is very, very noticeable. Just look at Off-White and Stella McCartney this season – I see you, copycats. I doubt they would cherish tulle that much if Molly didn’t make it a statement again.

If you’re about to invest in a piece to love this spring, see the grey Robyn dressruched sleeve sheer top in pink and the delightful August skirt.
