During MilanoModaUomo I went to the Vivienne Westwood show in corso Venezia. The show featured a contemporary Ötzi, a kind of defrosted Neanderthal man (like the one featured in a movie from the ‘90 that is found in a garden of a neighbourhood house in an america state), a traveller in elegant checked suits or fun sporty printed leggins, with backpack and coloured male melissa plastic shoes or embroidered house slippers.
Raun Larose met Narcissus for his Autumn Winter 2011 collection creating chic and luminous designs.
Raun decided to go into menswear design because at 24 he was not satisfied with what the menswear market had to offer to him. So he started designing clothes that he, himself would wear. His mother, being a seamstress used to design high-end designs and would take him to fabric stores and let him watch while she worked.This was a great influence on Raun as a designer and he first sewing at the age of 16. He studied at the Art Institute of NYC where he majored in women’s wear designs but later realized that menswear was his calling.
Last week I had the luck to enter to one of the most exclusive areas in the 080 Barcelona fashion week: the backstage. Here s where I shared all the excitement, nerves and efforts of the designers launching their new spring summer 2012 collections at the historical building of the University of Barcelona. Male collection award winner Karlota Laspalas delighted us with her white painted soldiers in her collection “Believe” , Women collection award winner Manuel Bolaño presented a colorful positively driven dramatic collection “How to heal a broken heart” full of tiny colored skulls, roses and daisies while black tears dripped out of the models eyes.
MODAFAD has been one of the most important event in propelling independent fashion designers, whose aim is to become internationally known for their experimental, avant-garde and diversified fashion. It is based in Barcelona but always open to local and international new proposals. It s 8 PM on a warm Friday afternoon, immersed in fresh colors, sexy sheer fabrics, shiny materials and simply shaped garments; some occasional viewers are passing by breathing in a great atmosphere spiced with a cool beer: it’s going to be another amazing summer in Barcelona. It is based in Barcelona but always open to local and international new proposals.
After a full Spring Summer fashion shows in Europe and New York, it is Istanbul turning the spot light. New to the fashion world, Istanbul is growing greater by the minute especially with the collaboration of the emerging designers and ITKIB ( Istanbul Textile and Apparel Exporter Associations), forming Istanbul Fashion Week.Istanbul Fashion Week, a.k.a. , IFW has swept through fashion lovers in Istanbul.
Intimate elegance for smiling people.
Beautiful dandies reading books with nonchalance in the dark atmosphere of the Library, or dancing to Egyptian nostalgic notes together with the guests for one of the events I attended during Pitti Uomo in Florence .
The Men’s collection was featuring “happy” yet polite oversize scarves, with the typical floral prints, mixed and matched over tight tailor made jackets in precious fabrics, over comfortable and larger pants. Everything was warmly coloured in a palette which invoked an oriental taste.
It was the first Gareth Pugh video I saw on a presentation, and even if some friend said that it wasn’t “that” new impression, the location gave it definitly something unique. So maybe that’s what Pitti events and Florence can give to fashion. Warm Oneness….and surprising myself….through the pictures of the photographer Kristinn Kis…also some club atmosphere that even Gareth seemed to enjoy a lot!
Blockbuster ideas created by fashion are unmistakably done by EAK. Her designs show the significance of the subconscious and the chaotic environment in between the double sided mind. Carrying elements of the mind, the collection is an awe towards anatomy. The hand crafted prints over the satin shows the true essence of the soul within the body and with every drop, every shade on the fabric many, many feelings comes out with the frill of fashion.
We recycle plastic, paper, glass even animal waste nowadays. However, recycling today is replaced by the organic movement on Martha’s list of make-it-yourself. But it can not be denied that we are moving towards a more nature based life, relating to the core of things.
She describes herself laughing as the “mother of new ukrainian fashion”; she is really proud of her country and of the new projects going on; She wants her country to grow in fashion: she shared and shares her experience had in the late ‘90 in Paris, enocurages new designers and is not afraid of sharing the stage.
The id being transformed into the android as Duygu Ebcim, a fashion talent would argue, only to jumble the sleek line between the conscious and the unconscious into fashion.

Avete presente la maglietta bianca perfetta, quella che avete da un sacco di anni?
