Traveler. Creature of The Wind SS15

September 4, 2014September 4, 2014 | Design & Culture by Ed

What I always love about Creatures of The Wind is their fresh view at slightly kitsch prints and patterns. This time, they made the granny floral curtain look not excessive, but rather simple and delicate- this print was used on the coats and even on the bras. We also had some intereting embellishments and stripes, shown in over-sized pants and tops. Full of funny fringes, traveler jackets and “the perfect escape” oriental smokings / pajamas, this beautiful collection is what I would surely want to see on lazy beach vacations somewhere on Bali or Biarritz!

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!

City Girl. Rag & Bone Pre-Fall’14

December 6, 2013December 6, 2013 | Design & Culture by Ed

Rag & Bone’s new collection for Fall is a selection of basic black & white clothes for every city-jungle girl. Everything looks very comfortable and easy to wear- just like everything what’s Rag & Bone. Mixed with every-day life accessories like I ❤️ NY bag or Coca-Cola can, the collection seems to be great for every occasion- for work, jog in the park or a evening party at your friends! What do you think?

Peacoat. Altuzarra Pre-Fall’14

December 5, 2013December 5, 2013 | Design & Culture by Ed

Joseph Altuzarra’s New York based label Altuzarra had it’s first ever Pre-Fall collection launched yesterday. As the brand is sponsored and owned by Kering Group, this elegant label shows it’s best this Pre-Fall season. The classical peacots, Romanian blouses, French stripes… Altuzarra is showing it’s sex-appeal and NY chic in all of these looks. Beautiful colours like red, beige and orange were amazingly composed in checked dresses and skirts… The Altuzarra woman for fall is elegant, but keeps it modern and sexy for everyday! And… Some good news are coming- mules are trendy for good. Just have a look!

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.
