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?
No.21 by Alessandro Dell Acqua is definitely the biggest highlight of Italian fashion this year- with his sporty approach to Italian detailing and quality, the label is a bestseller at all on-line stores. Dell Acqua’s Resort 2013 collection for this modern label is a mix of paradise prints, loose tousers, lace jackets and chic flats. This pretty short lookbook may feel pretty modest, but the clothes themself are beautiful. Questo è il nome da ricordare!
As the Resort 2014 approaches in huge steps to on-line stores and boutiques, it’s the best time to have a first peek at what will be the hottest of all. Definitely, this Resort season feels very simple and minimalistic- lots of loose trousers, straight cutted jackets and comfortable trenches are visible in the look-books. Certainly the most beautiful collections are by Derek Lam, Givenchy and Celine- they the ones that will be best sellers this time. Remembering about the Spring spirit, give your total look a strong dose of pink- just like at Alexander Wang and Kenzo! And if thinking of accessories… certainly, again, Celine rules, with it’s beige leather birkenstocks and ne cabas bags! So, lets forget of Winter, and unpatiently wait on Spring!

Belgian designer Cedric Charlier’s eponymous label boasts clean, sporty cuts in a rainbow of bright hues, colour block patterns and abstract prints this Resort 2014 season. As Cedric is a pretty new name in Parisian fashion scene, he already has an eye on the future. How not to love these easy-going dresses, funny prints and comfortable suits in these Summer colours? I feel powerless to that.
Today at the amazing fashion fair here in Poznan, Poland, I had a pleasure to meet Michal Mrzyglod, the designer of a fresh label Mrzyglod. This London based label created by this young, amazing designer, is a mixture of street style influence, hi-tech fabrics and Polish folklore cut-outs but are made thanks to laser in Michal’s designs. As he shows his impressive pieces on male model, I would rather say that they are more unisex- definitely they are looking great on women. What I loved in his new collection that I saw today in live at the Hush fashion fair, is the youthful energy, strong colours and the practicality that is thanks to fabrics created by the designer. There is a big use of nowadays hottest material, neoprene and lots of salmon leather attached to sweatshirts and bags. Oh, and the shoes… These look really cosmic! If talking of Polish/London fashion scene, Michal Mrzyglod is the name to watch!
