Kisses From India. Stella Jean AW15

_A2X0005

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.

A recent jewellery crush? These multi-coloured Celine necklaces for Pre-Fall’14. They own that ethno feeling… The necklaces have marble, plastic and metal in their “panels” and look really good with everything black! That lands our 1st of May wishlist.

Men’s: Ethno. Valentino AW14

Slide01The introduction of this men’s couture only further ratchets up the degree of luxury Piccioli and Chiuri have made it their business to sell. But the twist at their Valentino is that with each new turn of the gilded screw, the look of luxe gets less and less. The collection has never looked looser. Suits have mostly melted into pajamas; trousers into jeans; shirt-and-tie into sweatshirt-and-scarf. Perfect for Alpes Resort vacations and… casual daywear!

Men’s: Ethno-Crush. Givenchy SS14

Nobody does menswear as good as Givenchy. Precisely, nobody does menswear as good as RICCARDO TISCI. The Italian designer of luxurious, high street fashion label Givenchy just did something in his collection, that have just hit me. Few seasons, Givenchy was a bit, I would say, same to the previous ones. Still, it was cool, but there was a lack of something fresh, a bit couture and strange. But, thanks god, definitely within this collection of menswear that changes- there is now a new crash of the prints, colours and everything else!
The SS14 for men was presented in a Parisian garage parking- it felt industrial and I (still, viewing on life stream) thought it will be minimalistic. But I was mistaken! The first look was like an arrow sent from an Amazonian local warrior- colourful jacket, full of prints of something similar to airplanes, palms, ethnic figures and stripes- like a crash of airplane in a jungle- as you see most models have some hind of paintings on their faces, that may be connected to new Riccardo’s inspiration- Ethnic Cultures! Everything else was as great as that- and on my wish list have already landed the sweatshirts with human faces covered with feathers and other decorations print. By the way one of these jackets would be a perfect match for me! That is an awesome collection. Here are real, out of heart, congratulations for Tisci. I love this type of fashion moments!
