Masai. Givenchy SS14

September 30, 2013September 30, 2013 | Design & Culture by Ed

Riccardo Tisci delivered this season something a bit more than prints. Just like the SS14 for men, the collection for women was strongly inspired with African and South American tribes of Masai, Aztecs and much more. Model wore jewelled masks, traditional, colourful jewellery and of course… Beautiful gowns made of silk and embroideries. What I loved about Givenchy’s SS14 for women, is that it wasn’t so trivial and a bit out of idea. Yes, there were some prints, but in closer look that was all made of sequins. The dresses and tops were too made with Haute Couture precission. The colours, forms… I don’t really imagine a woman wearing this on a party (note: there was no high heels in this collection!) but it’s still a great experience to see these clothes life. Riccardo Tisci, thanks God, came back to Earth, and again creates amazing collections!

Love. Celine SS14

September 29, 2013August 31, 2014 | Design & Culture by Ed

For me the most “holy” part of Fashion month is always the Celine show. It’s Phoebe Philo who does the big controversy, amazingness, aah an oh thing every season. And this season… CELINE WAS THE BEST COLLECTION OF ALL. You can do whatever, but it is the best for me this season. First of all the way of approach of new season- something about tribal chic, out of this world shoes with architectural heels in Zaha Hadid style, beautiful prints and magnifying colours. From minimalistic coats, you can find printed tops and even some awesome tribal inspired jewellery… The bags. The shoes. Everything is so impressive and hot that I would need a whole day to describe all my emotions. In other words thats all so… Amazing! How did Phoebe connected all of those usually difficult elements into one, beautiful part? She is a real fashion genius. Artistic images via Electric Soiree.

Indie. Junya Watanabe SS14

September 29, 2013February 2, 2015 | Design & Culture by Ed

The new Parisian fav designer that is known for a cool way of mixing sportswear with something “different” is definitely Junya Watanabe. Junya got really inspired with Indie rock and the tribal Americans, changing the typical head decoration of feathers into something more sophisticated… Maybe the new Parisian chic? There was also a lot of denim like last season and the grunge attitude- lots of holes, spiked boots and crazy hairstyles. In other words it was a great ethnical journey with Japanese designer in Paris!

Art. Comme Des Garcons SS14

September 28, 2013December 28, 2013 | Design & Culture by Ed

The queen of avant-garde from Paris, took as into a new dimension of fashion. Comme des Garcons for SS14 is not anymore Ready to Wear nor Haute Couture. It’s something that can be worn only by the mightiest people in the world. Structures, colours, recycling matter- this are the things that come to my mind after CDG show in Paris. I can’t speak. My heart stopped. AMAZING. ❤️

Rock It. Haider Ackermann SS14

September 28, 2013 | Design & Culture by Ed

Haider Ackermann showed his darker side in the SS14 collection is Paris. The seriously rock & roll aesthetics that were mixed with classical Haider fabrics and forms. I loved the body exposure in that collection and colour use! So David Bowie and Vogue Paris at the same time! It felt fresh but still real for this designer- all these dresses and metallic colours beautifull compnated with sexy shorts and transparent tops. One of the best collections to date from Mr. Ackermann!
