Phoebe Philo debuted sport-shoes for her SS14 collection. Her LOVE LIFE sneakers are so… AMAZING! Love it too bad. Definitely, when these will hit the stores, everybody will run to Celine. They look really comfortable and easy to wear on the go- they will match a dress, skinny jeans or even a midi skirt! And they are very Phoebe- the designer of Celine always wear sneakers!
French art students learn about Jean Pierre Raynaud at school. He was the conceptualist who spent 25 years building his house, only to decide it was too perfect and, in 1993, tear it to bits. Piece d’Anarchive, the fresh label coming straight from Paris, is a buzzy, loudly printed and cool vibed brand, that’s pretty new in fashion world. Their first real collection happened last season, and their second is up here, for Spring. Piece d’Anarchive designs for men and women, and their look-books make me want everything! The new collection is inspired with famous monochrome prints that were created by Jean Pierre Raynaud. Shorts, dresses, shoes (!), tshirts… everything is in black & white checks. The womenswear looks really hot and cool, and menswear is simply omething I want for a Christmas present! Just look at these trousers and sweatshirts! Love it! More on http://www.piecedanarchive.com
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!
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!
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.
