Bollywood

Hello Milano! And hello beautiful, sunny Stella Jean which sends us kisses straight from India! At the beginning of February, I went to Milan to preview Stella’s AW15 – the embroidery, the prints, the colour combinations are just genius. And what’s interesting, thanks to mixing classical, Italian heritage to the Bollywood-inspired theme, the AW15 collection is not so… kitsch? There’s nothing to add or to subtract. Basically, the collection has a healthy amount of wearable pieces decorated with rather silent ornaments. The coats are gorgeous; the dresses are breath-taking. And these tweed voluminous skirts look so great with these ethno-patterned knits! We definitely need the warmth and cheer that Jean brings to fashion world every season.

While in Milan, I am visiting various fashion showrooms for a future project, and I really enjoyed Stella Jean’s preview of AW15. The full collection is going to be presented at the end of February, so here is your “exclusive” look at it! As the showroom notes said, Stella Jean brought Bollywood magic of colours, prints and boldness to comfortable, stylish silhouettes. You might think the clothes are kitsch- absolutely no! Although there a lot of Bollywood accents in here, we’ve got a beautiful selection of knitwear, tweed skirts and gorgeous flannel shirts. Also, the spotlight was stolen by the hand-stitched coat and skirt combo, representing amazingly embroidered patterns… by looking over and over again at my photographs, I just can’t wait to see the full collection during Milan fashion week!
