Men’s: Isabel Marant X H&M

November 10, 2013April 23, 2014 | Design & Culture by Ed

Isabel Marant designed the first time for men! Yeah! I simply can’t wait till 14th of November when I will put my hands on these knitted sweaters! The trousers look really cool with these panels, and the navajo-printed t-shirt look really stylish. And the campaigns… Clement Chabernaud wears this sweatshirt like if it was the coolest thing on Earth. The collection is so easy and casual… Like if it was a mix of causality and beautiful fabrics from far travels! You simply pit one of these knits, and the look is done for you. Can’t wait.

No.21’s Spring

November 4, 2013 | Design & Culture by Ed

No.21 by Alessandro Dell Acqua is definitely the biggest highlight of Italian fashion this year- with his sporty approach to Italian detailing and quality, the label is a bestseller at all on-line stores. Dell Acqua’s Resort 2013 collection for this modern label is a mix of paradise prints, loose tousers, lace jackets and chic flats. This pretty short lookbook may feel pretty modest, but the clothes themself are beautiful. Questo è il nome da ricordare!

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!

Rock ‘n Chic. Saint Laurent SS14

October 1, 2013 | Design & Culture by Ed

That was the third Saint Laurent fashion show under the wings of Hedi Slimane, and it was… the best! I am still blown up after this collection that was presented in Grand Palais in Paris yesterday. On the entry, there was a big, LED lights installation that reminded of some abstract piece of art. And then the show begun of course with… Edie Campbell, with gloomy hairstyle and eye make-up. She wore a beautiful V-neck dress in black colour. Sexy and chic. Then the classical Yves Saint Laurent Le Smoking shown in a much more casual way. The collection wasn’t punk itself- it was very chic and elegant, but had a rock ‘n roll twist too. Stripes t-shirts, sequined jackets, sharp hair-cuts, over-large sleeves and lips/fire print on few mini dresses. Hedi definitely got mad with all these grunge boots from Winter, but certainly he did fell in love with socks under stilettos… I think this is one of the coolest trend, while most people are totally on NO when they see this. But in the Saint Laurent edition, it simply looked great. The SS14 collection by Saint laurent was definitely one of my favourite this season!
