Resort’s LOOSE!

October 25, 2013August 28, 2014 | Design & Culture by Ed

As the Resort 2014 approaches in huge steps to on-line stores and boutiques, it’s the best time to have a first peek at what will be the hottest of all. Definitely, this Resort season feels very simple and minimalistic- lots of loose trousers, straight cutted jackets and comfortable trenches are visible in the look-books. Certainly the most beautiful collections are by Derek Lam, Givenchy and Celine- they the ones that will be best sellers this time. Remembering about the Spring spirit, give your total look a strong dose of pink- just like at Alexander Wang and Kenzo! And if thinking of accessories… certainly, again, Celine rules, with it’s beige leather birkenstocks and ne cabas bags! So, lets forget of Winter, and unpatiently wait on Spring!

Flamingos. Vika Gazinskaya SS14

October 9, 2013October 9, 2013 | Design & Culture by Ed

Vika Gazinskaya, the smart-chic Russian designer based in Paris, have just presented her SS14 collection. As Vika is not only a fresh designer, but she is too a street style phenomena (just have a peep at Tommy Ton’s street snaps from Parisian Fashion Week), her new collection is a mix of minimalism and hand drawn prints of trees, flamingos and water. Kept mostly in pink/beige, silver polishing and white colours, the look book reminds of a light Summer somewhere on the lake. Gazinskaya creates each season her own characteristic style in her clothes, thanks too beautiful Russian craftsmanship and Parisian chic she simply got inside. Her new season collection is now available at Moda Operandi trunkshows!

Granny Party. Miu Miu SS14

October 3, 2013 | Design & Culture by Ed

Miu Miu SS14 was presented in a beautiful way during the last day of Paris Fashion Week. The collection was something more sophisticated than Brazilian polka dots or cat prints- that was a fashionable grandma party in Miuccia Prada edition. Kept in pastel colours, delicate coats and a bit kitschy dresses in the knee lengths looked chic but at the same time elegant. Just like one of these ladies from Advanced Style blog, the collection was very mature, and a bit reminded of artistic Summer 2014 at Prada’s main line in Milan. Embroidered ball dresses looked perfect for a ballet or opera gala and the shoes… Oh i love Miu Miu always for it’s fantastic shoes! So fairy-tale! The younger label of Prada is mixing old with new chic, and the fashion month… Ended today. So, now lets only wait till the next March for AW14…

Art. Comme Des Garcons SS14

September 28, 2013December 28, 2013 | Design & Culture by Ed

The queen of avant-garde from Paris, took as into a new dimension of fashion. Comme des Garcons for SS14 is not anymore Ready to Wear nor Haute Couture. It’s something that can be worn only by the mightiest people in the world. Structures, colours, recycling matter- this are the things that come to my mind after CDG show in Paris. I can’t speak. My heart stopped. AMAZING. ❤️

Exotic. Dior SS14

September 28, 2013 | Design & Culture by Ed

Raf Simons showed again in Paris, that less is more. And more is more! In the rythms of Kylie Minouge’s Slow, the models walked the runway decorated with thousands of exotic flowers in beautiful dresses and skirts. But first the amazing venue- the Dior show for Summer 2014 was happening in the Rodin Museum in Paris, with a breath-taking view on Montmatre. In a huge campus, the guests were amazed with the smell of exotic flowers and trees from around the world- the colours and natural sunlight made it even more awesome. Coming back to clothes- well, that was something mesmerizing. The shoes stole my heart- stilettos with laces and embroidered flowers were a mix of sport and couture. Just like the collection itself. Delicate, but sporty sweaters were worn with tulle skirts; the suits were revisted thanks to prints on the back; typical Summer dresses were embroidered with flowers. In other words, it was something very fragile and without pretence.Possibly, this is the most beautiful collection of this Summer season… Bravo, Raf!
