Mars Attack. Jeremy Scott SS14

September 12, 2013September 12, 2013 | Design & Culture by Ed

Definitely, this is the season of light colours, virgin dresses and flowless skirt. But as always, the enfant terrible of fashion break the rules. And it is all about Mr. Jeremy Scott. Well, I expected the collection will be really up to the Jeremy world, full of prints, sexiness and colours. But… I also expected that Scott will shock a bit. But he didn’t. The collection “Teenagers from Mars” sounds crazy and I felt like it will be a really god collection. However it was very classical converting to Jeremy’s style- in other words, the colour and the print in the key. And the funny quotes that appear already like fifth time in his collections and start to be predictable. Bikini’s, mini skirts and cropped tops exposed most parts of body, so Jeremy Scott definitely invites his models to wear this summer than normal women. Fashion from perspective of Scott meant to be fun, but it starts to be SO MONOTONE. Only the guest list is changing- this time we saw Nicki Minaj in the front row. Yay?

Bloody Mary. Thom Browne SS14

September 10, 2013 | Design & Culture by Ed

When Thom Browne presents his collection in New York for women, there is alway a feeling that real fashion, full of imagination and fun, still exists. And so was this season, that took as to a fantasy world full of ghosts and Bloody Mary! The collection just like the last one was a masterpiece. Beautiful models walked the runway in only white costumes, with lots of details, fabric variety and different style, in fantastic make-ups (the boody red lipstick looked spooky on the totally white faces of the model!) and crazy hairstyles. In other words, Thom surely got inspired with tim Burton films and read lots of fairy-tales… for giving New York a REAL fashion shock. With this, who needs Haute Couture?

Urban Jungle. Tibi SS14

September 8, 2013 | Design & Culture by Ed

On the third day of New York Fashion Week, I can say, that the designers calmed down after last year’s colour splash and print madness! Tibi SS14 is the best example of that. This New York based label that prices are very affordable didn’t really shock, but it did really remind as all about Summer paradise! The green jumpsuits, kaleidoscopic jungle prints and comfortable sandals were the right shot for next season. There were also these minimalistic leather black jackets, over-large safari trousers and the beloved orange dress- so light and perfect for beach… Summer, comeback, please! 💚🌴💚🌴💚🌴 P.S. I love this season in New York!

Pink Blush!

Who said that pink was only for Barbie dolls? For sure not the designers for Autumn-Winter 2013! This season was a pure pink colour explosion. From Miu Miu polka dot coats to Simone Rocha super cute pastel dresses, the runways were flowing with pink. But it wasn’t about just one shade of pink- there was the soft bluch (Dior), candyfloss (Roksanda Ilincic), pastel gingham (Prada), fierce fuchsia (Dries Van Noten) and many more types of pink prints, fabrics and furs. In other words, pink made a suprise appearance throughout the shows. So banich the black and bury the beige in your wardrobe! From now on girls, pink got words to say to the fashion world!

Xiao Li of The Marshmallows!

Xiao Li, a Chinese designer of RCA FASHION London is one of the most exciting designer of the year! Her amazing, over large costumes in a marshmalow colour palet are very precised and made in with high technology. Plump pastel silicone garments moulded from knitwear feature in this collection by Royal College of Art graduate Xiao Li. And this knitwear doesn’t look like a simple now, made by a grandma. It’s, I would say, looking like if it was blew up or something.
“Traditional knitwear is more soft and shapeless,” Li told Dezeen. “I wanted to find out a new way to present knitwear and was influenced by Modern architecture and 60s Balenciaga.”
It all sounds pretty sophisticated, but these mind blowing fabrics are very wearable and easy. “I wanted to make sure my collection is innovative but still wearable,” she said. And my fav look is the one with the pink dress with organza bottom- looks stunning. And the boots… Plastic rules!
