Gypsy. Marni Pre-Fall’14

January 15, 2014 | Design & Culture by Ed

Marni’s designer, Consuelo Marni, makes a renaissance movement for this label. Seriously, the last few seasons are really good. And this Pre-Fall’14 is even better! Having a bit of Prada feel in it (note those fur stoles and shoes!), the collection is warm, boheme and cool at the same time. Like a gypsy, the model wears not matchy prints with over-sized coats, socks, heels, scarves and huge bags, looking fresh and really stylish. Marni does clothes for the “I don’t know what to wear, so I will wear something” days, and I love it. What do you think of this vibrant, colourful style?

Girl’s Rules. No.21 Pre-Fall’14

January 15, 2014 | Design & Culture by Ed

Allesandro Dell Acqua of No.21 knows what women really want from fashion- timeless pieces kept in casual colours with an interesting touch. And the Pre-Fall’14 was not any other- this is the reflection of cool Milanese street style that women desire. From easy-to-go sweatshirts with checked shirts to affordable flowless dresses, here is everything you need for a stylish day. What I love about No.21’s attitude is combining simple skirts with lace sweaters or sequined dress with slip-ons. No.21’s perfection is not kept in practicality, but in the beautiful details!

Real-Life. Lanvin Pre-Fall’14

January 7, 2014 | Design & Culture by Ed

“Women are looking for more reality” said Alber Elbaz, the designer of Lanvin after the trunkshow. That meant that a smoking jacket was paired with track pants boasting tuxedo stripes down the sides, and that a glamorous leopard-spot coat was actually made from a woven black-and-white jacquard. Elbaz did a lot of clever thinking about outerwear. A duffel built on a grosgrain ribbon base had the slouched-on ease of a cardigan, while what looked like a shearling was actually a jersey coat bonded with an outer layer of mohair, and thus superlight. Definitely, one of the most beautiful Lanvin collection for a decade.

Urban-Tribe. Givenchy Pre-Fall’14

Looks like we have the most amazing collection for Pre-Fall! Riccardo Tisci outdid himself- this collection for Givenchy is so beautiful, oriental but at the same time modern! Full of sequinned sari dresses, masculine boots and blazers, colourful gowns and printed jackets, the presentation was done in snowy New York with models like Jamie Bochert. I’s kept in Riccardo’s recent mood- African tribal style mixed with casual urban pieces. The collection is not only interesting, but also very refreshing and elegant!
