Georgia Hardinge is our new find! Hardinge’s Spring Summer 2012 collection have had a great impact on me not only due to the quality of the fabrics and the liquidity of the looks but also due to the great shapes she creates silhouettes showing the female form. She studied in Parsons Paris School or Art and Design in 2008 and was awarded the ‘Golden Thimble’ award for best design on her graduation collection.
Nicolas Ghesquière has gone back to the Mid-Century designs of Cristobal to find the way in between traditional haute couture and ways to make it daily. So here we are with another talent from the Netherlands with edge for a fashion understanding. Anna Smit has strong silhouettes yet simply enough a Jil Sander touch. For her simplicity is a fundamental element in fashion design and in patterning, cutting and detailing.
Hong Kongese designer Zathew Zheng proposes architecture through garments.
Zathew builds up this voluptuous one piece dresses inspired in ancient Greece, with complex and exuberant silhouettes like Corinthian marble columns raising in the horizon. Manipulating and draping fabrics like cotton jersey, printing striking patterns and choosing an eye catching palette, completed with a delicious chunky threads on the collar; she tries to prove that even though her garments are inspired in classical features they have still have some hints of avant-gardism.
Zeynep Tosun finished her masters in Istituto Marangoni while experting in illustration, digital fashion and patterning. She developed her Haute-Couture skills while working for Alberta Ferretti and Philosophy Di Alberta Ferretti before she moved back to her home town, Istanbul. She was named the 3rd in ITKIB’s (The General Secretariat of Istanbul Textile and Apparel) young and promising designers. She attended the Istanbul Fashion Week in the past few years. However she wanted to move on a different path with the SS12 collection and took it to where it possibly belongs; London.
Of course Anderson interpretation of naturalism is presented in a very personal way and some of the designer assertions explain his fashion manifesto very well: “we don’t have to let the fantastical ideals of youth collapse into the mundane realities of adulthood”. Why should we? Anderson thoughts are related to a vision where things can be borrowed from a man to a woman and from a woman to a man, with no borders between the masculine and the feminine wardrobe.
“Professional Suicides”
The idea of making it came to me from the attitude between human and nature. Nowadays people disrespect gifts that nature gives them, they take everything they want in enormous amounts and never give back. They are consumers from the very beginning of their life and even don’t realise it. Truly speaking they are killing themselves with such behaviour. If they are against forces of nature they are suicides.
