Metal. Anthony Vaccarello SS14

September 24, 2013September 24, 2013 | Design & Culture by Ed

When Anja Rubik opens a show in a sexy black jacket at Anthony Vaccarello, then… Well, there is no possibility it will be a dissapoinment! With a huge dose of sex appeal, the SS14 collection from this emerging designer is something unbelievably simple, but at the same time cool. Vaccarello is famous for his amazing sexy cuts, bandage dresses and great use of leather… Do you remember the Met Gala red leather dress that Anja wore? The motif of it was already Summer 2014 that has too a similar look. I also loved the dyed jeans- something new at Anthony, while for few seasons we see only mini skirt or evening gowns… For the first Paris Fashion Week collection this season, it feels already… Parisian. And that’s why this my favourite fashion week of all!

Boom-Boom. Fausto Puglisi SS14

When Karolina Kurkova opens a show of a young designer, that means that a real talent is nurturing into something much more bigger… Fausto Puglisi, the designer of the moment from Milan, known for checked varsity jackets and gold ornamented skirts, this season had his first ever runway show. For SS14, Fausto not only showed his clothes have their own rock ‘n roll aestethics, but also are very feminine. We could see a Carolina Herrera mixed with Axel Rose in these amazing looks- a maxi blue dress with beautifully embroidered palms tapped with a leather biker jacket. Not only this collections had balls, but it looked real cool and great for Summer strolling somewhere at the Palm Springs… The fav designer of Coco Rocha, is now stealing the spotlight from a bit dusty Milan Fashion Week, but just ended today. Now we head to… Paris!

Rome. Dolce & Gabbana SS14

September 23, 2013 | Design & Culture by Ed

The Dolce & Gabbana SS14 collection was like fall of Roman Empire. In other words, it was a fail. Although the collection was pretty, the effect was poor. Flower embroidery mixed with a Ancient Roman temple print? Wow, suuuper impressive. Polka dots a la Monica Belluci and black lace? Hmm. Possibly Dolce is getting out of ideas (however checking their Instagram you can’t say that they have a crisis in creativity and finances…) and it goes totally on a easy route with the Italian city theme every season… But, can you imagine Dolce & Gabbana with laser cuts and some out of this world skinny jeans and checked shirts? Nope. D&G will be always D&G. And you may like it or not.

Nature. Marni SS14

Marni SS14 wasn’t just about lazy prints and funny jewellery. The Milanese label known for it’s minimalistic approach, this season shocked with some seriously amazing flower embroidery! That was one beautiful coat, in reddish shades, that looked like a flowerbomb. Marni too thought of Summer comfortability- hats, sunglasses and light top for every occasion. The whole collection was kept in one simple colour- the salmon pink/creme pink that made everything look so easy and affordable!

30 Years! Moschino SS14

September 22, 2013August 28, 2014 | Design & Culture by Ed

That wasn’t just another colourful season for Rosellini Jardini at Moschino. As Franco Moschino asked 30 years ago “What is fashion?”, now the current designer of stated the same question for the 30th Anniversary collection of Moschino! Wow, that is a real tripled milestone for a label like that! From that occasion, Jardini prepared an amazing collection presented on her beautiful Milanese friends and favourite models that wasn’t about new hearts, checks and smiles. It was a collection made of archive’s biggest Moschino hits- the shopping bag dress, chain jacket, cow dress and teddy bear hat! The mix of that was much better than usual Moschino collection. I felt my fashion memories were refreshed! Possibly, the full collection, like for example my fav shopping bag dress, will surely not arrive in stores, but this swimming suit would be surely a bestseller. People like “limited edition” stuff!
