Grete Stern from Germany and Horacio Coppola from Argentina are the focus of ‘From Bauhaus to Buenos Aires: Grete Stern and Horacio Coppola’ at the Museum of Modern Art in New York from May 17th to October 4th 2015. In 1927 in Berlin Grete starts to take private lessons from Walter Peterhans, a leading figure in the field of photography at Bauhaus. She learns about “photographic vision”, the various theories to calculate the light intensity, contrasts, the chemistry processes necessary to make the perfect image. The following year she meets Ellen (Rosenberg) Auerbach: they soon open a photographic studio specialised in portraits and advertising images. In the same period Coppola begins his experiments in Argentina becoming part of the blossoming modernist movement. His interest in the new ways of doing…

The pursuit of happiness, strength, hope, faith: these are the four common threads of the new collections by the world’s leading manufacturer of crystals and jewel components that is always ready to release brand new cuts and surprising new colours and that celebrates its 120th anniversary this year. ‘The Blossoming of Happiness’ (Classic) is a celebration of spring and a metaphor of renewal and rebirth symbolised by the blooming of nature after winter. Flowers in pastel colour crystals such as the new dreamy Blush Rose matched with a sweet green, a noble burgundy, a primrose yellow, a steel blue. Beautiful shimmering origami that with an apparent geometric simplicity succeed in recreating the complexity of flowers and in creating design masterpieces in-between jewellery and talismans. ‘The Nature of Strength’ (Progressive) is…

BRASSERIE GABRIELLE The whole Mademoiselle’s universe is gathered into this new collection, which however always carries the signature of the great Karl Lagerfeld. Devotee to the collection and to the Maison, the creative director retakes, reworks, mixes Coco’s heritage, and the timeless tweeds featuring the new season’s colours, flared, almost full skirts, knee-length, chains and pearls, the classical shoes with dark toe (it seems they were created by Gabrielle to make her feet look less flashy, which was not that tiny) and amidst a myriad of proposals, the legendary petite robe noire stands out for its simplicity. Tutto il mondo di Mademoiselle è raccolto in quest’ultima collezione, che porta sempre e comunque la firma del grande Karl Lagerfeld. Fedele alla linea e alla Maison il direttore creativo riprende, rielabora, mixa…

KNITTING REVIEW Constructions flirting with architecture and design, which is what Miriam Ponsa has accustomed us to from the start, define a collection in which the tailored approach is a symptom of research and perfectionism, supported by the use of techniques that create extraordinary interweaving material effects. The materials, natural and performing fabrics, but also oriented towards innovation, are tinged with calm hues of black, grey and ice. Le costruzioni che flirtano con l’architettura e il design, alle quali Miriam Ponsa ci ha abituati fin dagli esordi, definiscono una collezione in cui l’approccio sartoriale è sintomo di ricerca e perfezionismo, supportati dall’utilizzo di tecniche di intreccio che creano straordinari effetti materici. I materiali, naturali e performanti, ma anche orientati all’innovazione, si tingono delle tinte pacate del nero, grigio e ghiaccio.…

THE ROSE IS A ROSE … Romantic notes and Victorian nostalgia feature the new collection by Sarah Burton, who looks at the past and pays homage to Master Alexander with a gorgeous collection. Cascades of laces perfectly arranged outline ultra-light dresses. Micro frills over micro frills and again plissé, and skirts seem to dance delicately as if they were just-opened roses, ready to wither within an endless becoming. Note romantiche e nostalgie vittoriane nella nuova collezione di Sarah Burton, che volge lo sguardo al passato e omaggia al maestro Alexander una splendida collezione.

MODERN OTTOMANS The famous Turkish fashion designer chooses the splendid embassy of his country in Paris, the Hotel de Lamballe, to present in its lobby a sumptuous collection poised between ethnic luxury, comfort and simplicity. Eclectic mix of Ottoman influences and contemporary tailoring and details, for an active and cosmopolitan woman who can beautifully wear sharp geometries and new proportions in flawless garments made of soft leather and precious fabrics. Also a delicate allusion to Klimt in an ode to Vienna, the city where the professional career of the designer took off.

MODERN WOODSTOCK A triumph of coats for the British maison. Trench coats, reefer jackets, slim-fit made-to-measure coats, cloaks made from suede with Woodstock-style fringes are matched to long gipsy–look high-waist dresses inspired from the 70s, like the fabrics with little mirrors applied. Durham quilting and English lace run the catwalk. The kaleidoscope of colours ranges from indigo to red to burgundy, from ochre to turquoise green. Printings make their way and steal the scene from cashmere and floral patterns to rich patchworks, animal and camouflage prints. Un tripudio di capispalla per la maison britannica. Trench coat, caban, cappotti aderenti a su misura, cappe in pelle scamosciata con frange alla Woodstock, si affiancano ad abiti lunghi a vita alta, stile gipsy dal sapore anni ’70, come i tessuti con specchietti applicati.…

UNDERSTATED SEX-APPEAL Can a woman be sexy without trying to? The answer is yes, at least according to Phoebe Philo, one of the best creative minds in the fashion market. You don’t need too much to express your sex-appeal: an uncovered shoulder, a corset over a dress, a devoré fabric letting us imagine something or a shoulder strap about to slip down. Not to mention some of the best coats oversize sweaters we had the chance to see. Si può essere sexy senza cercare d’esserlo? La risposta sembra essere sì, almeno secondo questa collezione di Phoebe Philo che è una delle menti più creative sul mercato della moda. Basta poco per esprimere sexappeal: una spalla scoperta, un corsetto sulla maglia, un tessuto devoré che fa immaginare qualcosa o una spallina…

DANISH TALENT The young designer Anne Sofie Madsen showed us a collection which is ready for a big jump towards success. Pleated dresses, parkas in perfect streetwear style, long “gowns” with images painted by the designer herself (she’s also an illustrator), custom trousers.

LOOK AT ME The typical theatricality of Galliano turns into a collection that combines historical icons like Blanche DuBois, references to the thirties and trompe-l’oeil effects, bustiers, man’s jackets, spotted fur and lurex, the attitude of wealthy snobs and the “girl interrupted” look. There is a bit of everything, of course mixed with the delirious poetry of a Galliano who is once again on the main stage. The Master (Martin Margiela) has left a legacy that is not easy to follow. We’ll see.... La teatralità tipica di Galliano si concretizza in una collezione che unisce storiche icone come Blanche DuBois, i richiami agli anni Trenta e gli effetti trompe-l’oeil, il bustier, la giacca maschile e il maculato, le pellicce e il lurex, l’atteggiamento da benestante snob e l’aria da “ragazza…

FEAR OF THE VOID A horror vacui that needs to be filled in brings onto the catwalk a wonderful challenge between Victorian maximalism and contemporary minimalism. The result? On equal terms: leather skirts decorated with nineteenth century cashmere patterns and interspersed with plastic panels whereas brocade, damask, fur are matched with rubber and terry cloth and with hard-edge gorgeous paintings. A mixture of periods and textures that without any apparent sense creates high visual impact pieces irresistibly attractive and provocative. The collection is a stunning affront to the conventions of the ordinary. Un horror vacui da riempire porta in passerella una bellissima sfida tra massimalismo vittoriano e minimalismo contemporaneo. Risultato? In parità: gonne di pelle decorate con motivi cashmere del diciannovesimo secolo sono intervallate da inserti in plastica, mentre broccati,…

The sporty approach is present even in this collection by Alexander Wang, like his military references, reflected in the maxi vests and jackets, in the macro details and that casual and unequivocally urban air that the designer has instilled in all his creations since the beginning. The result is a fresh and dynamic collection, in which masculine garments go hand in hand with a feminine and intriguing sensuality. Classic colours, no trimming, perfect cuts and impeccable fit. In perfect Alexander style.

There is a preference for natural fabrics like silk and voile in natural hues like beige and terracotta as well as bright green next to…

The calendar of the latest edition of London Fashion Week promised a profusion of not-to-be-missed fashion shows, presentations, anniversary celebrations, shop openings, fashion films, cocktails, parties and a plethora of other social events. As it now become the norm, London Fashion Week delivered on its promise. Especially when it comes to originality, creativity, fashion-forward thinking.

To the new ‘hippy chic’ by Burberry Prorsum where Christopher Bailey excelled in a deluxe version of the ‘festival ready’ look.

A Far East closer to the West thanks to the exhibition of Chinese visual arts that examines their century-old influence on Western design.

ARCHITECTURAL VIEW She splits her time between Barcelona and Milan, to define her as just a fashion designer would be an understatement, because the creative path that leads Txell Miras to the world of fashion passes through graphics and illustration. Her passion for conceptual art shows in the architectural construction of her clothes, with sculptural tailoring made with artisan techniques, close to haute couture, and constant references to the world of fine arts. Si divide tra Barcellona e Milano, definirla solo fashion designer sarebbe riduttivo, perchè il percorso creativo che porta Txell Miras alla moda passa attraverso la grafica e l’illustrazione. La passione per l’arte concettuale si legge nelle costruzioni architettoniche dei suoi abiti, dotati di tagli scultorei e realizzati con tecniche artigianali più vicine all’haute couture, con riferimenti costanti…

Pant suits in silver silk and vaporous mutton sleeves, all accompanied by the most coveted accessory: the all-important trunk, in all its variations of the theme. Seconda collezione invernale per Nicolas Ghesquière, che continua la sua esplorazione-introspezione tra rispetto per la tradizione della maison francese e slancio tecnologico verso nuove fatture. I capi sono pronti…

LIFE IS GRAND New proportions and new volumes by the designer duo of Johnny Talbot and Adrian Runhof who created garments with intelligent cuts and studied shapes and volumes. As the main source of inspiration is a portrait by Mona von Bismarck wearing a silk duchesse oversize coat by Ceci Beaton, quite fittingly the fashion show took place at her home. The revolutionary cuts required extensively revolutionary tailoring processes as several garments are made of a single piece of cloth, often without side seams and no armholes for the sleeves. Even the shoulders have no seams. Nuove proporzioni e nuovi volumi per il duo di stilisti Johnny Talbot e Adrian Runhof che ha realizzato creazioni dai tagli sapienti e dalle forme studiate. Il défilé ha avuto luogo presso la casa…

FORESTS AND TREES A recent study by scientists at Oxford University found that the cheapest and most effective technology by far and away to reverse global warming carbon emissions on the planet nowis trees, and that humans should plant 5 for every person now on this earth. Combining a new technique of men’s jacket structuring with pure Merino wool knitwear and long-over-longer proportions with his classic handmade tailoring pieces in deluxe wool, cashmere, silk, angora, linen and cotton fabrics, Geoffrey B. Small’s “Forests and Trees” is dedicated to the 25 magnificent old trees on the Via Spalato that the town of Cavarzere wants to cut down (where the designer lives and works), and to all the trees in the world that are able to save us from global warming catastrophe…

This season the japanese designer had a parade of models with their faces covered by transparent masks obliging them to smile unnaturally.

CHILDHOOD PLAY Simon Porte Jacquemus goes from last season’s beach to the conceptual f/w 2015-2016 collection. A childlike collection populated by girls playing to make their own dresses starting from those belonging to their parents. The stiffness of the fabrics is a must for the young French designer who is working on green garments and fissures on retro coats and skirts but modern as few designers can create. Simon Porte Jacquemus passa dalla spiaggia della stagione passata alla collezione concettuale per la f/w 2015-2016. Una collezione volutamente infantile popolata da bambine che giocano a crearsi gli abiti partendo da quelli dei loro genitori. La rigidità dei tessuti rimane un must per il giovane francese che questa stagione gioca con il verde bosco e con fenditure in giacche e gonne dall’aria…

INTO THE GROOVE With the first collection signed by Hedi Slimane, Saint Laurent has launched a mood which perhaps has exceeded expectations, with an unprecedented resonance and a turnover increased by 300%. Then, why changing? Bad-tempered, rebel daddy’s girl, prone to perdition, run the catwalk wearing leather dresses, rock details, sequins, animalprinted styles and tulle, even fishnet stockings, like after a rave party. A flip of the tail to the unhelpful bourgeois respectability. Con la prima collezione firmata da Hedi Slimane, Saint Laurent ha lanciato un mood che ha forse addirittura superato le aspettative, con una risonanza senza precedenti ed un incremento di fatturato del 300%. Dunque, perché cambiare? Sfilano scontrose figlie di papà ribelli e inclini alla perdizione, che indossano letteralmente come abiti. Abitini in pelle, dettagli rock, paillettes,…

Softness and rigour blend into a harmonious game of fabrics and feature the pieces which have a vague inspiration from the 70s. Large and ankle-length trousers have masculine cuts and the pants suits are a must-have piece. The designer declares: “We have created a new energy, the latest collection is pure energy, that is what we need now “. Una palette di colori tipicamente autunnale accompagna la sfilata di Paul Smith che vede la giacca in primo piano con le sue mille declinazioni. Morbidezza e rigidità in un armonico gioco di tessuti sono le protagoniste di capi dal vago sapore anni ’70, i pantaloni sono larghi…

The collection is inspired by the merry-go-round - colorful horses, bright leather saddles, golden bridles and the sounds of bells in the distance. The atmosphere is special, there are great expectations, a miracle is about to happen. Time and space disappear, and we are swept up in a whirlwind of bright colours in an excitement that combines magic with heartbeat. A continuous movement, the wind in our hair, a race so involving it may change our innermost being.

Carol Lim and Humberto Leon are naturally inclined to unusual combinations, to amazing mix of colours and the super contemporary style of each garment created by them, but, above all, they have the ability to translate this stylistic vision into a guaranteed box office success, the kind that leaves a trail for several seasons. Urban wear, complete with parkas, colourful capes and geometric patterns like artist prints. The colour wins. Carol Lim e Humberto Leon sono naturalmente portati per gli accostamenti inusuali, i sorprendenti mix cromatici e il piglio super contemporaneo di ogni capo da loro creato, ma, soprattutto, hanno la capacità di tradurre questa lungimiranza stilistica in un assicurato successo di botteghino, di quelli che lasciano gli strascichi per un paio di stagioni successive.

Three different heroines inspired Michael Kors’ forthcoming winter collection: Baby Jane Holzer, Winona Ryder, and Taylor Swift. Its meaning? For all personalities?

The result is attractive, you just have to deal with your own wallet. Tre differenti eroine hanno ispirato il prossimo inverno di Michael Kors: Baby Jane Holzer, Winona Ryder, and Taylor Swift. Il significato? Per tutte le personalità? Difficile dirlo, il punto è che assistiamo a un guardaroba fresco e dinamico, che fa l’occhiolino a un bon ton decisamente borghese e flirta con capi dall’aspetto mannish. Il risultato è accattivante, non resta che fare i conti con le proprie tasche.…

Tagli dal piglio maschile, orientati ad un approccio sartoriale targato Ninties, che gioca sulla destrutturazione e il riassemblamento, definiscono capi trasformisti dal sapore nipponico: i pantaloni vengono ricavati da gonne e viceversa, creando una collezione ricca di armoniosi contrasti, carichi di fascino vintage. www.studiorundholz.de…

The vintage flavoured prints invade dresses and outerwear, Japanese origami bloom like flowers on creations that play with Sixties’ volumes and tailoring and make use of stripes, subtle graphic elements in black and white and naïf bouquets. The colour palette is multi-coloured and is not subject to rules and constraints: lemon yellow, turquoise, lacquer red and deep purple mingle in geometric rationalisms alternating sumptuous brocades, as Antonio likes to do. Le stampe dal sapore vintage invadono abiti e capispalla, origami nipponici sbocciano come fiori su creazioni che strizzano l’occhio a volumi e tagli Sixties e si avvalgono di righe, sottili grafismi in bianco e nero e bouquet naïf.

FROM MOROCCO WITH LOVE Heartfelt tribute to Jeanne Lanvin, in a collection that is deeply linked to Morocco and all the emotions and contradictions that this country manages to evoke, starting from suggestions of Casablanca and the Sahara drawn in bows, bracelets, fur, leather trim and snakeskin embellished with golden highlights. Alber Elbaz masterfully paints a portrait of adventure and experience, in which the clothes evoke an intense and profound life enclosed in those edges of raw wool and chiffon, for a magnificent symphony of hems and floral embroidery that is beautiful but never perfect, because perfection is frightening. Sentito omaggio a Jeanne Lanvin in una collezione profondamente legata al Marocco e a tutte le emozioni e contraddizioni che questo paese riesce a evocare, a partire dalle suggestioni di Casablanca…

ANIMAL INSTINCT Lust and elegance: woman and nature come together in a totally new idea of freedom and sensuality, no longer politically correct, but wild and carnal. Raf Simons builds an animal identity without ever yielding to vulgarity, getting masculine and feminine to move closer together: fur, silk, jacquard and tweed create sinuous silhouettes with asymmetric fantasies, where the traditional suit becomes a men’s suit, with blouse and jacket over. Animal prints are reinterpreted in softspoken attitudes, an unusual and surprising camouflage emblem of a new species, the most exotic and fascinating ever. Libidine ed eleganza: donna e natura si fondono in un’idea di libertà e sensualità totalmente nuova, non più perbenista, bensì selvaggia e carnale. Raf Simons crea un’identità animale senza mai cedere alla volgarità avvicinando maschile e femminile:…

POSTMODERN ’60S There’s always something deliberately disturbing in Miuccia Prada’s collections. This season she shows a joyful remake of the 1960s made of short coats coming out of a flea market with contemporary touches like pockets and borders in contrast (python), tweed or crocodile skirts, animalier and cult shoes.

At first we are impressed by the rigorous severity and then, in a flash, we are seduced by the accuracy of the cuts and of the shapes and volumes, by the sophisticatedly casual looks. The fourth Arthur Arbesser collection moves toward a more feminine concept, without abandoning his interpretation of fashion with the uniform as the fundamental basis of apparel. The starting point is the scrutiny of 1900’s decorative themes, the work of Michael Thonet and Josef Hoffman, the provocative anti-romantic paintings by Hermann Nitsch. The result is a wearable innovative collection that confirms the designers’s great talent. Colpisce il rigore, poi, in un lampo, ci si lascia suggestionare dalla precisione delle forme e dei tagli, dalle fisionomie sofisticate e disinvolte. Alla sua quarta collezione, Arthur Arbesser si muove verso…

The beautiful fjords, the Northern Lights, the midnight sun, the silent islands, the endless forests, the very high quality of life, the excellent economic and social situation. This is what we all know about Norway, an intensely evocative place where the elegance of nature and force of the seasons still retain the charm of a story made of legends alongside though rationality and the extreme objective growth typical of Northern Europe.
