Urban-Tribe. Givenchy Pre-Fall’14

January 6, 2014January 8, 2014 | Design & Culture by Ed

Looks like we have the most amazing collection for Pre-Fall! Riccardo Tisci outdid himself- this collection for Givenchy is so beautiful, oriental but at the same time modern! Full of sequinned sari dresses, masculine boots and blazers, colourful gowns and printed jackets, the presentation was done in snowy New York with models like Jamie Bochert. I’s kept in Riccardo’s recent mood- African tribal style mixed with casual urban pieces. The collection is not only interesting, but also very refreshing and elegant!

Jamie. Proenza Schouler Pre-Fall’14

December 7, 2013 | Design & Culture by Ed

Proenza Schouler collection for Pre-Fall 2014 is definitely one of the coolest. The hottest label from New York did a small Pre-collection that joins all their biggest hits- navajo prints, minimalistic coats and amazing shoes. I really love all the colours and fabrics (shrilling and suede) …They seem to be so warm! As always, tapping the most coolest model ever, Jamie Bochert, the collection underlines again, that the New York chic is owned by Proenza. P.s. It seems that orange will be back during Autumn 2014… Just see the Altuzarra collection!

Lurex Vision of Proenza

November 23, 2013July 29, 2014 | Design & Culture by Ed

During the SS14 Fashion Week in New York, one label that was the most buzzed around was surely Proenza Schouler. The designer duo, Lazara Hernandez and Jack McCollough, made their sophisticated and eponymous label the hottest export product from the Big Apple! Gathering the coolest models around (Jamie Bochert and Edie Campbell, for example?), mixing fabrics that no one other would use (LUREX!) and creating the new New York chic, the PS boys really nailed it. The collection was kept in warm, creme / red / gold colours with some small dose of tree branch print. We also spotted some ethno vibes- the bags and coats with this navajo-like material and all these metallic bustiers with golden flowers and buggs on it! I found the shoes too a bit African inspired- these wooden platforms and leather embroideries made it this season on the accessory list.

This lurex striped maxi dress. Looks so amazingly sexy and beautiful on Jamie. Lurex, a very artificial fabric, that is not really considered us a luxury material, makes the dress suprisingly soft and delicate! And notice one thing- this a bit disco-like gown is not styled with heels, but… metallic geek sandals. Love it insanely.

Stripes for Resort- LV vs. MJ

Stripes definitely were on the mind of one designer… Marc Jacobs did mostly identical tops at his both Resort collection for 2014- at his own line, Marc Jacobs, were Jamie Bochert wore a striped fur sweater and at Louis Vuitton, where model Ondria Hardin had a very similar piece! So now, the question is: which one is more expensive?

Chic. Celine Resort 2014

That was such surprise this morning to see the Celine Resort 2014 on their site! As Phoebe Philo didn’t let the collection to go out within others like Dior and Chanel because of Zara’s copying, Celine Resort 2014 was uploaded silently today at night. As nobody knows anything about it, by accident I saw the colledtion… and wow! The pre-collection is nothing like SS14- it’s kept in beiges, linen fabrics, fur and python. Yeah, fur. The furs were bigger than the ones in the AW13 collection! And everything out of mink… for Spring. The python leather vest looked pretty cool; the nurse dresses in pastel colours were cute; sweaters, sweatpants and coats were classical and simple. Very Celine and chic. Definitely this impressive collection is one of the best for Spring 2014… and the birkenstocks are again back in fashion!
