Men’s: Nuns. Rick Owens AW14

January 17, 2014January 16, 2015 | Design & Culture by Ed

Rick Owens, the master of darkness (and great Parisian athlete at the same time) created a new iconic collection for men that wasn’t so dark… after SS14’s Estonian heavy-metal group performance, this time we are getting seriously religious in a new, minimalistic aesthetic. The collection kept in brown, creme and black, was very sporty and at the same interesting. Models wore nun’s head covers, classical Rick Owens trainers and leather sweatpants… combined with lose unitarian vests and over sized tops. Is this the new sign of religious vs. fashion friendship? Hope so because Ricky did it in a great way.

Men’s: Hyper-Oriental. KTZ AW14

January 10, 2014January 11, 2014 | Design & Culture by Ed

KTZ is the moments hottest London based label. Known for it’s rebellious style, it already has big group of fans who wear only the characteristic black & white “yeezy” hype pieces of sweatshirts and sweatpants. But to date, the AW14 collection was the best. Influenced by oriental culture of Middle East, the totally white collection made a big WOW from the mouths of show guests… The parachute coat, HOLY sweatshirt and all these head pieces look so cool and fresh! And the thought that it’s not all in fussy colours but kept in black & white… KTZ is the most desired luxury menswear label for now (Instagram is buzzing about all the time!) and definitely this collection will be best-seller when it hits the stores.

Pop-It. Acne Pre-Fall’14

January 9, 2014 | Design & Culture by Ed

Pre-Fall gets knocked as the most purely commercial season. But commercial needn’t mean boring, as Acne’s Jonny Johansson understands. “There was something earthy, in the most literal sense, about the way the designer mingled the textures of Persian lamb and felted or boiled wool with slick silk, leather, and neoprene; meanwhile, numerous wrapped, draped, and folded wool pieces looked like they’d been riffed off of beach blankets, the kind you wrap up in for a walk along the shore on a brisk day.” Certainly, this collection is cool.

Paris: The Cool Checks

Paris is full of fashion inspirations! But the trend here that is dominating here is definitely a chunky sweater styled with sneakers and simple jeans/leggins. And this street style fashionista I caught made it even better and hotter- the Celine Cabas bag from AW13 is AMAZING… I personally love this. And you?

Celine Sneaks

Phoebe Philo debuted sport-shoes for her SS14 collection. Her LOVE LIFE sneakers are so… AMAZING! Love it too bad. Definitely, when these will hit the stores, everybody will run to Celine. They look really comfortable and easy to wear on the go- they will match a dress, skinny jeans or even a midi skirt! And they are very Phoebe- the designer of Celine always wear sneakers!
