Kim Traeger’s Bunny fashions

The story is about a rabbit that was run over by a car when it was crossing a road at night. When it stands up with its intestines in the paws, it realises that is is the Easter Bunny. We follow the bunny from the accident to the hospital where it was patched together and then to the white forest. My idea was to create a feeling that was macabre and cute at the same time. This is how the Danish designer Kim Traeger, BA 2011 at Central Saint Martins, explains the concept of her graduation collection.

A designer from Poland who graduated from Cracow School of Art and Fashion Design plays with the definitions of geometry, architecture and combines them with fashion design. Anna’s avant-garde designs are constructions and de-constructions of raw materials and they are mostly inspired by modern architecture and interior design.

Off-Tension

Coinonia’s latest collection for Autumn Winter 2012 captures the essence of this relaxed state. They explain this state as; ” A moment when something gets suddenly released from a certain tension or balance. Everything normally maintains its equilibrium with its certain tension – sometimes being tensioned too much. Even so a moment could arrive when it loses its tension or its own physical balance. No matter what kind of stimulant it is, this causes a movement, a shift from static into dynamic even for a very short period of time or in a smaller scale.”

In between Romantic and Mystic: Amanda Adomaitis

I fell in love with the story first. The photos captured me in to the story that passes through the woods. Its romantic, ironic, mysterious and sometimes even eerie. It is the lost princess playing with the road kill. I fell for this contrast as Amanda Adomaitis fell for fashion. In order to capture the essence of her collection she chose to do a shoot in the woods which was a brilliant idea considering the hesitant nature of her collection. There is a certain stillness about the clothes. Nothing shouts out, nevertheless they are no where near understated. In this story, everything compliments each other in such an antithesis that it works!

Mr Nascimento . Rio rising star

Lucas Nascimento showed his glorious collection revisiting new themes and lines on what seemed to be a sculptural catwalk. His designs alternate wool strips and volumetric constructions which revalue women’s shape. What appear to be a sculptural style turned out to be an intrigant new way to see feminine silhouettes on promising creations and sophisticated work.

Reality Studio: Fashion on Wheels

Reality Studio is back with a brand new collection for the Spring Summer 2011. The project, I would rather say, is called “Open To The Public” showcasing the collection in an unconventional way. On bicycles!
Eight women are selected to stroll through the streets of Berlin during the Berlin Fashion week in July, modeling the pieces for the current season. The idea behind this collection is rather than limiting the viewing to a selected audience, the Reality Studio have let lose and presents the collection to the public. The starting point of the project was an inspiration from the Californian music performer ‘Flying Lotus’.

Floating Dress

We all know that Hussein Chalayan is highly intrigued by the Japanese culture. Nevertheless, he is not interested in the obvious Japanese cliché that the collections seem to have been following in the past two seasons. For Fall Winter 2011 collection in Paris, Hussein Chalayan continues his examination of the Japanese culture through the DNA of this eastern environment that keeps on growing into the western benchmark. For this reason he entitled his Fall Winter 2011 collection: Kaikoku or Kai ko ku which in Japanese means “open country”. Kaikoku is signifying the ever-changing and experiencing side of the eastern culture.

“Not Everything Has To Be Wearable”

“For me fashion is an expression of art that is very close related to me and to my body. I see it as my expression of identity combined with desire, moods and cultural setting.” says the brilliant talent Iris van Herpen. Born in the Netherlands she started her eponymous brand in 2007 after studying Fashion Design at ARTEZ and finishing her internship with beloved Alexander McQueen. She won many awards in the Dutch media besides her showcases in London, Amsterdam, Spain and finally, received the appreciation she deserves with her show “Escapism” in 2011 Paris Couture Week. To her, fashion is a contrast between beauty and regeneration, by which she means; reevaluating reality and underlining individuality.
