The New Volumes

These two women labels from New York & London are on everybody’s lips right now! Isa Arfen (London) and Rosie Assoulin (NYC), the two brands known for voluminous, joyful dresses and skirts, just showed off their recent collections for AW14… Isa Arfen was inspired with Tina Chow, who is known for her artistic and loose style, and Rosie Assoulin is a perfect fit for all kind of parties: red carpet gala to a casual brunch with the loved ones. And what’s more, these two offer us vibrant prints and strong colours to cheer up the Fall season… Surely, it’s hard not to fall in love with Isa and Rosie and their fresh labels!

Crazy In Love

This best ever Anthony Vaccarello show… It’s a perfect inspiration for Saturday night-out. Sexy leather, cool biker-jackets and very c’est chic coats are seductively attractive. Just remember about the red lipstick, and the party is yours (unless you fall off from these killer heels!). Anthony Vaccarello AW14 from A Magazine

Sew On. Vika Gazinskaya AW14

March 9, 2014March 9, 2014 | Design & Culture by Ed

Well… The most interesting Russian designer, Vika Gazinskya, just went out of ideas. Sorry, but sew-on-badges embroidered on caps and dresses look a bit… Home-made? But not hand-made- rather “sewn because I was bored”. And these trompe l’oil printed dresses and blouses? So Maison Martin Margiela. Even those “tattoos” look deja vu (see Viktor & Rolf Haute Couture for Summer). I thought that Vika was the only future of Russian fashion. But, unfortunately, as you may see, she is getting traumatically boring about her ideas. And that’s a pitty.

And this quote by Elizabeth Taylor defines best Celine’s AW14 jewellery- it’s big, shiny and it’s everywhere. Worn on sweaters, with dresses and as one-ear-earring, Phoebe Philo got splendour this season, if talking about the bling-bling. In reality, the designers go big this time with all those necklaces- Altuzarra had a huge metallic compositions tied around the necks; Givenchy gave coral branches; and Louis Vuitton (just like Celine) was all about the one-ear-earring, with a huge LV logo. And while it’s the International Women Day- the bigger bling, the bigger wow!

Symphony. Hermes AW14

It’s all! The Paris Fashion Week ended, just like the whole fashion month… And as a beautiful ending, here is Christophe Lemaire’s AW14 for Hermes. And, yes, it’s great. A bit sophisticated, a bit masculine- but full of must-have pieces. Like that grey coat or those socks stuffed into the heels… I am really interested nowadays about Lemaire- his seductive, Hitchcockian style for women is romantic and truly Parisienne… And Hermes is the perfect au revoir towards the lovely PFW!
