Belle Epoque. Van Noten SS14

September 25, 2013September 25, 2013 | Design & Culture by Ed

Dries Van Noten again did what he’s best at- the Saint Germain chic in his SS14 collection. After hot checked shirts and Parisian boheme inspired feather dresses, it’s the time for Parisian Belle Epoque style. Dries really did a good job. Amazing ultra big ruffles, metallic elements and flower prints look simply fantastic. Beautiful dresses with middle length, chic jackets and street influenced sweatshirts were also here. So, definitely the colour for Van Noten that ruled was metallic gold. And the closing look with Sasha Luss that was all covered with ruffles still sits in my head!

Chic. Christophe Lemaire SS14

September 25, 2013January 28, 2015 | Design & Culture by Ed

What I love most about Paris Fashion Week’s beginnings, are the collection of all these emerging designers… Well, I lobe the Chanel-Celine part too, but the first one is so… Modern, elegant and elusive! After Julien David’s and Anthony’ Vaccarello’s presentation I want even more of this kind of talents- and here is one- Christophe Lemaire! This young Parisian that for few seasons is an art director at Hermes RTW, is known for his minimalistic Elegance aesthetics… And best presentation venues. This season it’s an super chic Summer living room with palms and curtains… It really works out with the collection for me! I am simply in love with all that beige on coats and this green jumpsuit… So tres chic!

Metal. Anthony Vaccarello SS14

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!

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!
