Julien David, the french designer who designs clothes Made In Japan, did an outstanding job for AW14- his recent and really fresh collection is a mix of Japanese perfection of chaos and Parisian tres chic style. Caps worn with tri-coloured dress made out of sequins and other bling-bling embroideries… Black coats styled with sandals on socks and geometrical knitted dress… Glitter clutches… It pretty much feels innovative and “every girl wants now” desire… Love Julien and his work!
Tibi is my moment’s favourite “affordable” label. It’s crush is all about comfortable clothes for everyday. The AW14 was a bit of coven witches – long black coats styled with black boleros. But not only black was present here… Also, the lovely pastel blue which made all fluffy coats and fur trimmed mules look awesome. The effortless causality that Tibi presents is… TIBIshly cool.
So the sun again rose up in Gareth Pugh world. After depressing, heavy collections kept in black, this season is all about blue, white and… Shaggy wigs! The wigs are the funniest thing- they look like made from Charlie Le Mindu hands! This Paris-based designer, known for sculptured, sharp forms and dramatical long dresses, still keeps his characteristic touches in all his collection. For example this white jacket that reminds of a kimono was the same last season. Maybe only the colour changed. Definitely, Gareth is out of Winter depression and we… Well, we will still have it.
When Karolina Kurkova opens a show of a young designer, that means that a real talent is nurturing into something much more bigger… Fausto Puglisi, the designer of the moment from Milan, known for checked varsity jackets and gold ornamented skirts, this season had his first ever runway show. For SS14, Fausto not only showed his clothes have their own rock ‘n roll aestethics, but also are very feminine. We could see a Carolina Herrera mixed with Axel Rose in these amazing looks- a maxi blue dress with beautifully embroidered palms tapped with a leather biker jacket. Not only this collections had balls, but it looked real cool and great for Summer strolling somewhere at the Palm Springs… The fav designer of Coco Rocha, is now stealing the spotlight from a bit dusty Milan Fashion Week, but just ended today. Now we head to… Paris!
