Sometimes, it is so great to go for a short trip. To relax and breath with fresh, forest air. To see all that green and wildlife around you. If you are visiting Poland this summer, you must try out the Palace of Mierzecin, which is situated just in the centre of wilderness – rest and forget about the buzz of the big city.
Wow – green? Yes! Riccardo Tisci absoutely shocked me with his very detox-coloured Resort for Givenchy. Minty dresses, olive skirts, khaki jackets, emerald animal prints (kind of eew) – mostly everything was splashed with the colour of peace, matcha tea and pea. And not overkill it, Tisci brought on the totally white looks at the end, giving us a smooth, elegant ending. To make it even more unexpected, the Givenchy team shot the look-book on the streets of London – this gives us a hint that the house thrives to surprise again, leaving behind printed t-shirts and dressing Kim and Kanye.
Belgian designer Cedric Charlier’s eponymous label boasts clean, sporty cuts in a rainbow of bright hues, colour block patterns and abstract prints this Resort 2014 season. As Cedric is a pretty new name in Parisian fashion scene, he already has an eye on the future. How not to love these easy-going dresses, funny prints and comfortable suits in these Summer colours? I feel powerless to that.
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!
This funny piece from AW13 Acne Studios collection is not a kind of a modern house decoration. And it’s not a Japanese snack box. It is a clutch! But what kind of a clutch- it looks like made from marble, has a cool emoji sign or Acne’s Stockholm store address and has a mirrored inside interior! You shall fit there everything and anthing, and it’s a “living” piece of modernism in conceptual fashion! Love it!
