Men’s: Future. JW Anderson AW14

January 8, 2014January 16, 2015 | Design & Culture by Ed

Is it the upcoming future for men? Will we, men, wear boxy clutches, colourful bracelet, kimono/dresses and shoes on high platforms? J.W. Anderson tells us the strange future in his recent collection. What I admire about him, is that he really creates something new, something fresh- and no body will tell him STOP. Known for androgynous fashion, Anderson did a very unisex collection- well, it could be worn also by women. While looking at it, it looks a bit out of world… but who knows. Maybe the world will be such a strange place, that men will wear these outfits? For now… don’t think so.

Men’s: Power. Kane AW14

January 7, 2014January 8, 2014 | Design & Culture by Ed

Christopher Kane is moment’s biggest designer from UK. His inspiration taken from science, work good for women and for men… And we know that from his previous collections (NOTE: AW13 chemistry theme and SS14 biological flower anatomy)! The menswear AW14 collection was a mix of elegant clothes and prints that was full of nuclear power- my favourite piece from the collection was definitely the printed t-shirt with an atom motive on. With Christopher Kane, we are getting really cosmic now!

Men’s: Ceremony. Craig Green AW14

January 7, 2014September 3, 2014 | Design & Culture by Ed

Craig Green, one of the menswear designer of MAN LCM in London, showed his new show yesterday. Known for wooden structures and dyed costumes worn by men, Green changed his fashion perspective into something more ready-to-wear. His AW14 collection was all about hand-painted utilitarian coats and harness accessories. The models went down the runway in long, oversized coats, reassembling a pilgrim or something like that… The collection felt a bit mysterious and harsh. But- the clothes were beautiful. Dark, hand painted cotton robes and trousers are the new fashion ceremonials created by the fresh face of London menswear scene, Craig Green!

Men’s: Farmer Boys. Lou Dalton

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

The AW14 season have just begun for men in London, where the LCM fashion week is now on. The first designer to open the London Collections Man was Lou Dalton, who is known till now for great tailoring and fresh look for classical menswear. The collection was all about good-dressed farm hands with an air of punk in them. Traditional clothes were done with lots of bleaching. However, the show wasn’t so suprise-less! Some unexpected details were the pink acid dyed denim-on-denim elements and a peep of camo print. The show was a bit inspired with men who left everything behind and went on war- tradition versus something more rebellious.

Simbolismo Religioso in Fashion

August 1, 2013January 5, 2024 | Design & Culture by Ed

Very soon I am going to visit Florence, the magical capital city of beautiful Tuscany! As I am now in a Dolce Vita mood, so a bit inspired with Dolce & Gabbana that may not feel so sweet life for a moment, I thought of the religious symbolism in fashion- not of this season, but from 1960 year when Cristobal Balencaiga designed his bridal dress with nuns head dressing inspired hat to Les Novices where Brigitte Bardot stars as a newcoming female nun that just don’t real know what to do and sins a lot there and there… I thought of Sevillas Santa Semanas holiday and the splendor of Vatican church that I truly love! And if Church women would wear Alexander McQueen Pre-Fall 2013, then it would perfectly match at Brugges nunnery. Although it all sounds very good, Kate Moss at W Magazine showed herself as a satan or a witch with sharp claws and vampire teeth… this editorial is very spooky! Just as Kristen McMenamy at opening and closing the Giles AW13 show, wearing a super scary make-up and anglican inspired gowns. As I am not really a religious person, I hope this post won’t make anybody offended. Well, it’s fashion!
