And especially these verses:<br /></span></span><span class="Aucun"><span lang="FR" style="font-size: 13pt;"> <br /></span></span><span class="Aucun"><span lang="FR" style="font-size: 13pt;">“Triumph, pleasant flowers! Spread your perfumes, Revive your colors! »<br /></span></span><span class="Aucun"><span lang="FR" style="font-size: 13pt;">"Inconstant Butterfly, Fly in your bocage!" Stop, Suspend the course Of your fickle flame! »<br /></span></span><span class="Aucun"><span lang="FR" style="font-size: 13pt;"> <br /></span></span><span class="Aucun"><span lang="FR" style="font-size: 13pt;">21 looks, unique, entirely handmade in the Maison's workshops. A choice of exceptional materials, all made in France and respectful of the environment: Solstiss lace, silk, satin, tulle, for an impeccable fit! Magical cuts, contrasting royal solar gold with the depth of midnight blue and the lightness of anise green. The flower embroideries required a month of work, cut and painted by hand, another month to create the embroidery on the trouser suit, and two months for the pleating of the dresses. From fitted trouser suits, to evening dresses and more artistic looks, highlighting the House's know-how, the new collection of La Métamorphose demonstrates that art is in the DNA of the creative sisters.<br /></span></span><span class="Aucun"><span lang="FR" style="font-size: 13pt;"> <br /></span></span><span class="Aucun"><span lang="FR" style="font-size: 13pt;">The butterfly dress, entirely painted by hand, landing in the extraordinary garden of La Métamorphose, reminds us that our land is this garden, and that there is still time for the flowers to triumph again...</span></span></div><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white;

hand-cutted petals embellish the shoulders of the evening gowns. The colors are frank, assumed, like the desire to return to recklessness and sweet summer dreams. Like an outbreak, we go from pastel blue, to nude pink, to powder violet, then come fuchsia and royal blue, symbol of rebirth. An assuredly joyful and romantic collection. The collection is made only with fabrics made in France, Ewa and Margaret, the designers, once again underline their attachment to France and to French know-how. The final touch of the collection is the flower organza wedding dress, worn in two versions: a closed flower which opens up thanks to a silk belt and transforms into a long dress. The dress required 100 hours of modeling and 4 weeks of assembly, petal by petal in order to give the result of a blooming flower. Each petal is glazed and strass embroidered in order to give the illusion of the white rose wet by the morning .</span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;">The shoes created especially for the collection by Ginissima use the fabrics and colors of the collection.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;

text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">This is the eternal story of an artist who falls in love with his creation ... No one in the real life can match this perfection that he created with his own hands. The work that came out of his imagination meets all his expectations.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">For days and nights, in full lockdown, <a href="https://farhadre.fr" target="_blank">Farhad Re</a> cuts the triple organza of silk in a virginal whiteness. The contours appear delicately, and Pygmalion / Farhad applies himself to carving a light, sculptural, architectural silhouette. No less than 500 meters of organza were needed to create the 15 dresses of the collection.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Behind the opacity of the material looms the grace of the woman as seen by <a href="https://farhadre.fr" target="_blank">Farhad Re</a> and whom he calls <i>Galatea</i>, with skin white as milk, and with whom Pygmalion fell in love ... The purity of renewal, of freedom, of letting go - after all these months of lockdown- is also found in the perfectly mastered and hand-shaped geometric shapes that form each dress. An invitation to dreamlike escape, but also to transform the lines of the silhouette like this long chiseled coat, enveloping, comforting, in which we want snuggle up ...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Very attached to the very essence of freedom through his personal history - the mother of the artist of Persian origin fled her country to regain the freedom to think and dress as she sees fit -, <a href="https://farhadre.fr" target="_blank">Farhad</a> revisits the myth of Pygmalion by giving wings to his <i>Galatea</i> to make her discover the world. A real desire to share this need for the absolute, this quest for the sublime, this inclination to shape in the loved one a soul mate.</div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i><span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(60, 72, 88); color: #3c4858; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif, sans-serif; text-align: left;">image credit: is</span><strong style="caret-color: rgb(60, 72, 88); color: #3c4858; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif, sans-serif; text-align: left;"> Photo Greg Alexander et Iris Brosch © Méphistophélès Productions</strong></i></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiJt4rstIJXFD4U21XV8vywGn9Cvaoad6IXj-RRz5Kt_vuQg1jCdHbMJGnXLey9PGC_UxSKlyBxHY17jXWQGCg9IsmbtADPdSkb7H4QCiHoDCHiYFsuVxvKO6A1cOV1boqEEIgcpwRzy4/s750/FarhadRe_2.gif" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="750" data-original-width="500" height="1103" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiJt4rstIJXFD4U21XV8vywGn9Cvaoad6IXj-RRz5Kt_vuQg1jCdHbMJGnXLey9PGC_UxSKlyBxHY17jXWQGCg9IsmbtADPdSkb7H4QCiHoDCHiYFsuVxvKO6A1cOV1boqEEIgcpwRzy4/w734-h1103/FarhadRe_2.gif" width="734" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGcgmfvyRJ4jrR5Z1FwRvdA62qWRJmy6tZefb_MrtE8dQtSAOJL9uTPNnWQ4_5tJHpkuScVPCVO0P45Gj6Vf8cPQDClliICRRc9YUKoQgJD8a-lILOVkcN3KCWepU9rKAg0b_4O2_mbIQ/s750/FarhadRe_1.gif" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="750" data-original-width="500" height="1105" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGcgmfvyRJ4jrR5Z1FwRvdA62qWRJmy6tZefb_MrtE8dQtSAOJL9uTPNnWQ4_5tJHpkuScVPCVO0P45Gj6Vf8cPQDClliICRRc9YUKoQgJD8a-lILOVkcN3KCWepU9rKAg0b_4O2_mbIQ/w736-h1105/FarhadRe_1.gif" width="736" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDBLI9nOpXOmWSqsifAGP7wuD2B0kTW2XwI7xBjbQjC-W-YPWvUKIEuQisLrJHneTtNF6TSFzKNOaTgHQzbvMYwUNS-MDX8TIm38aEkonYJLOZMlA-i22XV26MCjFxBf6bufeGLjEZm5s/s1500/FARHAD+RE+photos+collection+couture+printemps+e%25CC%2581te%25CC%2581+spring+summer+2021+PFW+Photo+Iris+Brosch+%25C2%25A9+Me%25CC%2581phistophe%25CC%2581le%25CC%2580s+Productions+-+8.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="1000" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDBLI9nOpXOmWSqsifAGP7wuD2B0kTW2XwI7xBjbQjC-W-YPWvUKIEuQisLrJHneTtNF6TSFzKNOaTgHQzbvMYwUNS-MDX8TIm38aEkonYJLOZMlA-i22XV26MCjFxBf6bufeGLjEZm5s/s16000/FARHAD+RE+photos+collection+couture+printemps+e%25CC%2581te%25CC%2581+spring+summer+2021+PFW+Photo+Iris+Brosch+%25C2%25A9+Me%25CC%2581phistophe%25CC%2581le%25CC%2580s+Productions+-+8.jpeg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/x50Jp05yXQk" width="560"></iframe></div>Kathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12722108409276210543noreply@blogger.com0Paris, France48.856614 2.352221920.546380163821155 -32.8040281 77.166847836178846 37.5084719tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5572816787793091327.post-60850507761309369942019-07-09T22:08:00.002-04:002019-07-10T16:07:24.381-04:00Fashion Week: ZIAD NAKAD Couture Show F/W 19 - 20 Paris Haute Couture<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The process of each collection production starts from the fabric design. Yarns such as wool, viscose, lurex, cotton, silk and velvet are ordered from France and Italy. Then, a series of patterns are designed in great detail followed by a series of tests to decide on the yarns will be used for each pattern, how thick or thin the fabric to be, colour sampling combinations, hand-embroidery design testing, quality and durability checks etc. The whole design and production processes take place in Cyprus.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><a href="https://madleinecouture.com/">Madeleine’s</a> passion for fashion started when she was only 9 years old, making her very first dress. In high school and college she made the dresses for her classmates with the occasion of the graduation balls. At the age of 20, she opened a small atelier and at 21, she held her first fashion show in Budapest, her home town. In 2011, <a href="https://madleinecouture.com/">Madleine</a> founded her own fashion brand without being intimidated of the pressure to make her mark and her designs recognizable. She felt motivated by the ‘challenge’ to bring something new to the highly competitive global fashion market. First customers were impressed not only with her creative talent but also her attention to detail and ultimate quality.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><a href="https://madleinecouture.com/">Madleine</a> spirit-inspired, ethereal-looking collection leads us through the mysterious female figure of history, through the earthly statues of Mary Magdalene, to the ultimate fulfillment of existence, the unio mystica, the mystical unity. According to the Evangelical teachings, Mary-Magdalene was an equal companion of Jesus, the supreme supporter, and even the number one Apostle.</span><br />

<div style="color: #3c4858;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">With her first collection, <a href="https://madleinecouture.com/">Madleine</a> honors Mary Magdalene's accomplished Divine mission, to the Messenger, Apostolic role, to admit her unconditional Love.

<strong style="caret-color: rgb(60, 72, 88);"><span style="font-family: inherit;">DAME EN FLEURS: </span></strong><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Featuring colourways of dove and pale pink, cornflower blues to deep jades and dramatic blacks rounding out the palette. This story explores the anatomy and fragility of flowers- their natural peculiarity and softness, while combining and expressing these notions with a mixture of strength and romanticism. It was Steven’s intention to emulate and convey different flowers in varying stages of bloom- from tightly wrapped buds that hug and wrap the body to blossoms unfurling for a spring morning and fully fledged flowers triumphantly open and joyous.</span><br />
<div style="caret-color: rgb(60, 72, 88);">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="caret-color: rgb(60, 72, 88);">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The woman envisioned to be drawn to and wear pieces from this collection is like so many of the women Steven loves to dress - strong, passionate and confident - but who also likes to express their femininity and understand the power of and look for a dramatic silhouette.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="caret-color: rgb(60, 72, 88);">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Steven has designed a collection rich with surface detailing and using exclusive embroidery techniques leading to the creation of the final pieces. Each piece is uniquely detailed in its construction while still feeling whole and being a part of the same story. Most of these hand finished and detailed gowns can take from 100-200 hours to design, construct and finish. This is part of the DNA of the brand. Every collection is different but still special.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="caret-color: rgb(60, 72, 88);">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Experimenting with layering and creating tufts of raffia that sit against a silver metallic base to amplify the sheen. Combining hand-cut powder pink silk georgette with a fine metallic thread for intricate vine like centres. Some also comprise small bursts of stamen flowers to enhance the original source of inspiration.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />Densely embroidered pieces feature that are designed to have a foliage like formation that gradate into smaller individual clusters. Even more texture was explored through the selection of beading in metallic silver, jet black and gunmetal to increase lustre and shine. Deeper and more sumptuous silk velvet is used to enhance the combination of the matte/shine embroidery.</span><br />

<strong style="font-family: inherit;">NOMADE:</strong><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br style="caret-color: rgb(60, 72, 88);" /><span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(60, 72, 88);">The journey between the designers native Pakistan and adopted home of Australia culminates in Nomade.</span><br style="caret-color: rgb(60, 72, 88);" /><br style="caret-color: rgb(60, 72, 88);" /><span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(60, 72, 88);">The Nomade design process saw past melancholic experiences of distance infused with highs, visions and conversations that translated into a creative emotional response. These ideas that were bubbling inside me then flooded out in an exuberant burst of creative expression through pencil on paper. The flow of colours, textures and embellishments fell into place like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle, creating vibrant textural pieces. Ideas buried deep inside had suddenly come to life.</span><br style="caret-color: rgb(60, 72, 88);" /><br style="caret-color: rgb(60, 72, 88);" /><span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(60, 72, 88);">The Nomade colour palate is inspired by two distinct phases: his childhood adventures amongst the vivid turmeric golds and lush purples of Pakistan’s bazaars, followed by his adult life in Australia and the deep blues of the ocean contrasting with the reds of the desert sands.</span><br style="caret-color: rgb(60, 72, 88);" /><br style="caret-color: rgb(60, 72, 88);" /><span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(60, 72, 88);">The women who wear our pieces are women of style, who live with self-expression and individuality without any boundaries: Nomades.</span><br style="caret-color: rgb(60, 72, 88);" /><br style="caret-color: rgb(60, 72, 88);" /><span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(60, 72, 88);">The fabrics indulge the senses: rich silks - satins, crinkle chiffon, dupion, taffeta, organza - along with lurex blends, evoke the senses reminiscent of the gentle ebb and flow of underwater love and the journey of clouds between vast lands. Fabrics from around the world, including the beautiful French lace from Sophie Hallette, complement these dreams of love.</span><br style="caret-color: rgb(60, 72, 88);" /><br /><span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(60, 72, 88);">Working with the fabric grain, using bias cut, fabric manipulation and rich draping has created a silhouette juxtaposing design elements that flatter and empower. Enhancing the nomades’ pilgrimages to exotic lands, our atelier employs traditional couture techniques of draping, ruching, pleating, gathering, dyeing, moulding, corsetry and hand-stitched finishing. Embroidery and beading revel in a luxurious cacophony of textures embodying Swarovski crystals, ostrich feathers, glass beads and delicate threads.</span><br style="caret-color: rgb(60, 72, 88);" /><br style="caret-color: rgb(60, 72, 88);" /><span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(60, 72, 88);">Nomade required approximately two thousand hours to construct; just a dash in time compared to the pleasures our Nomades will experience with the collection.</span></span><br />

Similarly, the human being has always aspired throughout his development to a deep desire to fly to discover the unknown and closer to perfection: Nature. He created planes to fly; <a href="http://armine-ohanyan.com/">Armine Ohanyan</a> Paris presents in the new collection of "L E T F L Y" this contrast between naturalness and invention realized by man, and reveals both the volatile and metallic, natural and mechanical aspects. Several elements illustrate this opposition, such as the use of natural materials (silk chiffon, silk organza, duchess satin, cotton, etc.) - with beautiful hand pleats designed by Maison du Pli - combined with laser cutting.</span></span></div>

derived from the Mandarin word for “Beautiful”. The San Francisco-based <a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mymeiliusa/mei-li-classic-handbags-that-fuse-function-and-des" target="_blank">MEI LI</a> team of James, Akiko and Olivia sought to make a line of handbags and leather

<span lang="EN" style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Often, handbags look
great on the outside, but on the inside, it’s like a black hole for belongings.
At best, it’s muddled odd sized pockets that serve no real use. Standing at the
intersection of fashion and function, <a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mymeiliusa/mei-li-classic-handbags-that-fuse-function-and-des" target="_blank">MEI LI</a> is the solution to this problem. </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">Their genuine leather handbags - the crossbody, medium tote and large tote - are
perfect for keeping your daily essentials in order, no matter where you go.
Organization is built into every item in the <a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mymeiliusa/mei-li-classic-handbags-that-fuse-function-and-des" target="_blank">MEI LI</a> line providing seamless
function inside every beautiful bag. </span></span></div>

Crossbody was inspired by the idea that a crossbody bag could hold and do more.
Featuring an inner key ring an inner zippered pockets, this bag is structured
to securely hold all of your essentials. The flap and lock easily opens up for quick access to the contents inside,
while concealed magnetic buttons on the back fuse with the Mei Li magnetic
wallet allowing your full-size wallet to become a part of your crossbody.</span></span></div>

tote reimagines the daily handbag for the modern woman. The intentional

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The inspirations for <a href="https://kristinafidelskaya.com/" target="_blank">Kristina Fidelskaya’s</a> new Ready-to-Wear collection are multiple: a touch of androgyny in reference to
Bowie coming out of the Carlyle Hotel in New York in the 70s, the nonchalance of Parisian women walking down
the Avenue Hoche in the 90's blended with the timeless and chic simplicity of Elsa Peretti for Halston. And of course, the
presence of the signature <a href="https://kristinafidelskaya.com/" target="_blank">Kristina Fidelskaya</a> dress coat.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">A collection with a touch of Montana, with its oversize shoulders, its precise silhouettes that mark and draw the waist, in a
spirit of deconstruction, soft tailoring and natural elegance. Geoffrey Beene's graphic line blends into the fluid movement
of the silk fringes of the 1970s. A resolutely elegant wardrobe, easy to wear, but also and above all timeless, punctuated
with coated shearling and silk mousseline fil coupe, for a cocooning effect.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Throughout the silhouettes, there is comforting pure cashmere mixed with laminated cotton, dry wool and silk, inspired by
the colors and textures of the work of Alberto Burri on the combustion of vinyl, which one imagines taking life on a Stella
Tennant.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">We also can feel this signature, on the glossy gabardines for an ultra-soft touch, in the ebony black metallic jersey, the
matt papery leather and the fluid silk fringes.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><a href="https://kristinafidelskaya.com/" target="_blank">Kristina</a> succeeds a mixture of idealized past and assumed modernity, a revisited search for lost past, for a strong,
rebellious woman who can let go when she decides, and only then, the soft flaw of an immaculate white mousseline. </span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Last Thursday, renowned celebrity graffiti artist, Alec Monopoly, celebrated his 32nd Birthday party as well as his exclusive representation by Eden Fine Art with the opening of his latest exhibition at the SoHo based gallery. The show was primarily inspired by Robert De Niro’s films (including Heat, Godfather, Taxi Driver and Goodfellas, among others), as well as his signature muse: the Monopoly Man.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Alec Monopoly is the alias of the unidentified art provocateur who never reveals his face. This marks the native New Yorker’s first NYC-based exhibit in over 10 years. He first gained notoriety after the 2008 market crash, and is well-known for his meta-narrative exploring socio-politics and iconic pop culture characters in urban spaces. More recently, he has collaborated with names like Madonna and AVICII and brands including Philipp Plein and Tag Heuer.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The party, which unveiled over 25 new pieces of art, also featured impromptu dance performances throughout the 4-level gallery, sounds by celebrity DJs Alexandra Richards and Alix Brown, food trucks serving savory fries out of Monopoly-inspired top hats, and a custom designed graffiti cake. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Notable attendees included: The Clermont Twins, Julia Fox, Niki Takes, Nicole Pollard, Logan Horne, Ezra J William, Nick Murphy (aka Chet Faker), Alex Carapetis, Oskar Metsavaht, Vika Levina, Riccardo Ambrosio, and Alex Ordonez.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Eden Fine Art is an international gallery owned by Cathia Klimovsky. Founded in Jerusalem in 1997, there are now 10 galleries in the world’s most prime art locations including New York, San Francisco, London, and St Barth.</span></div>

<span style="text-align: justify;"><b><i>Holy Mountains : A Journey Through Peru</i></b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: justify;">I</span><span style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">nspired by their sourcing trip in the Puno region last year, <a href="http://nicholask.com/" target="_blank">Nicholas K</a> partnered with the trade commission of Peru in New York to return and capture the rich surroundings of the sacred valley, the highlands and Lake Titicaca. Tranquil stays Ateco hotels, el Albergue and Colca lodge, and a visit to Pacomarca, a sustainable alpaca farm, delivered a soulful and fervent journey. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Since moving to a new visceral format for fashion week, the brand creates their visuals with destinations aligned with their focus on sustainability. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">“Creativity should be an elevating force. Peru is rich with artisanal traditions, beautiful cottons and the world’s leading luxury fiber, alpaca del Peru. This trip is a journal of the land, people and our pursuit of conscious design. It’s fulfilling to share this journey with partners that strive for development that pachamama would bless- prosperity of people, culture, and environment. Nods to the film holy mountain by Alejandro Jodorowsky intertwine a modern edge and rebellious turn from destructive commercialism. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">“The rising stone facades and sprawling grass fields of the Peruvian highlands deliver a palette of clay,sage, totora, coca leaf, sienna, stone. The traditional qorillazos, morochucos and chalans of Peru fused with the surreal visuals of Alejandro Jodorowsky’s the holy mountain inspired layered silhouettes of mantas and ponchos, flared and skirted pants, short and long tops and oversized dresses meant to be layered with pants that could fasten to a slimmer silhouette; all complimented with the traditional elongated Andean Bowler style hats. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="text-align: justify;">“Our quest to craft products that nurture our customers, our partners and the environment led us to undyed natural colored alpaca fiber. We were able to visit Pacomarca, whose mission is to increase genetic diversity and save the naturally colored </span><span style="text-align: justify;">animals, and secure access and continued development of this scarce resource. Due </span><span style="text-align: justify;">to commercial pressures for dye-able yarn the colored stocks dwindled as local herders focused on breeding white alpacas.” </span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><a href="http://nicholask.com/" target="_blank">Nicholas K</a> will be working on an exclusive project to produce the now rare natural black alpaca fiber to highlight its superior qualities and ultimately to ensure balanced demand.</span><br />

Concept Korea is organized by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism of the Republic of Korea and the Korea Creative Content Agency (KOCCA). Concept Korea began in the spring of 2010, and this F/W 2018 season marks the organization’s seventeenth time showing at New York Fashion Week. I have been attending Concept Korea shows since 2012 and I'm still full of excitement each season to see the creative and unique designers chosen to showcase their collections.</span></span></div>

Commencing his design career in menswear on the famed Savile Row under the guidance of the celebrated menswear designer Oswald Boateng, Chung solidified his tailoring skills, which eventually led to launching his own line. Upon the introduction of his first collection, Chung received critical acclaim by notable fashion magazines such as Vogue UK and GQ UK followed by multiple awards including two consecutive “Winner of Ones to Watch” awards in 2010 and 2011 by Vauxhall Fashion Scout, “Bright Young Things” by Selfridges, and “Menswear Designer” award given by Fashion’s Finest Awards in 2011.

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="" dir="ltr" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: left;">
<span class="" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Fashion, feminism, and politics have always been heated territory. This year, amidst political upheaval, social strife, and natural devastation (globally, but also locally on the sunny Island of Puerto Rico) perhaps we can say that Mother Nature and Women have had it. For 2018, Stella wishes to highlight the one positive movement which has been gaining much strength: the new wave of women's rights. Stella's Fall/Winter 2018 collection aims to give power to the phrase "FEMINIST BUT FEMININE."</span></span></div>
<div class="" dir="ltr" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: left;">
<span class="" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Stella imagines a confident woman who is not afraid to embrace her sexuality and who claims the respect she deserves. "Clothing is a way of expression, but you should not have to sacrifice your feminine essence for the world. Girly and feminine can be strong." Sheerness, lace, feathers, and soft silhouettes can be embraced by the woman of the 21st century who knows her rights and her capacities. Maybe we must seek to effect change not by challenging contemporary fashion ideals of femininity, but by conforming to them.</span></span></div>
<div class="" dir="ltr" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: left;">
<span class="" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">"There is some black in this fall/winter collection, however, colors predominate. That is how life should be..." says Stella Nolasco. "When my home was flooded, all of the plants in my garden died. One plant survived, however - the "Red Kiss Rex Begonia," whose leaves are red and heart shaped. This inspired the last group of the collection, which is composed of richly textured pieces in red tones."</span></span></div>
<div class="" dir="ltr" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: left;">
<span class="" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Stella was working on her S/S 2018 collection before the hurricane hit the island, and her Spring fashion show was scheduled for the third week of October. Not only was Stella's home flooded, many of her seamstresses lost everything and her studio in San Juan still to this day must run a power generator as they have no electricity. From what she was able to rescue, Stella has created a F/W 2018 collection which was presented during the runway show at NYFW. </span></span></div>
<div class="" dir="ltr" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: left;">
<span class="" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Stella is collaborating with <a href="https://www.foundationforpuertorico.org/" target="_blank">Foundation for Puerto Rico</a><span id="goog_1615532976"></span><span id="goog_1615532977"></span><a href="https://www.blogger.com/"></a> to spread the message of awareness as well as donating a significant part of the collection shown on Feb.8th, to be auctioned off at a later date benefiting the cause.</span></span><br />

Their experimental F/W 18 collections create powerful messages by the influence of personal and artistic expression. 'Conceptual Artistry' is an avant-garde selection of conceptual work with an haute couture feel.</span></div>

Fitted tailored pieces adorned with lace, tassels, and embroidery, featured unique patterns and vibrant clashing colours. Gold buckles, plaited aguiliette rope, and toy soldier hats invoked feelings of playfulness. A salute to psychedelic soldiers, a strong collection with brilliant visual appeal.</span></span></span></div>

The artistic collection NERŌ explores the concept of abandoning the fear of death and yearning for the afterlife. NERŌ highlights the exquisite and undeniable dichotomy of beauty and destruction with hard and soft surfaces in the collection's textiles. A dark feminine energy was expressed with deep greens and inky blacks. The interplay between sculptured leather pieces and ruffled textile manipulations was balanced with fitted midi skirts and straight leg pants. A long length jacket with fitted leather bodice and sizeable fur sleeves made a bold statement.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">German designer</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><span class="" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-weight: 700;">Kim Tiziana Rottmüller's</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"> signature is provocation in a feminine but playful way. The collection BITTERSWEET is a fusion of the concepts 'Prison' and 'Barbie'. The designs are an artistic interpretation of a person wishing to break free from mental constriction, looking to the invisible prisons that exist only in people's minds. Volume and shape have influenced the designs, with oversized cylinders adorning the sleeves and an iron skirt representing the cage. A collection with impact, there was dramatic contrast in the large solid shapes and soft knitted textures. A minimal colour combination of black and pale pink symbolizes the aspects bitter and sweet.</span></div>

<span class="" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit;">An eclectic mix of emerging designers from across the globe were brought together to form a collective with real impact. Global Fashion Collective (GFC) a project by Vancouver Fashion Week (VFW), presented two creative and stimulating showcases at Industria NYC, 775 Washington Street, a large whitewashed studio filled with light nestled in the Meatpacking District.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">GFC began proceedings with the 'Prêt-à-porter' show, a refined ready-to-wear presentation with trendsetting new collections for the F/W 18 season, highlighting wearable and high-end takes on shape, fabric, and colour.</span></span></div>

The concepts of time and nostalgia have informed the clothes, exploring summer days spent at the beach. A collection geared towards the mild winters of the southern US with a fun touch of summer, we saw a vibrant palette of jewel pink, bold blue, and orange in light loose dresses and two pieces. Clever cutting and layering allows for pops of bright colour meshed with muted greys and an accent of print. Soft ruffles are inspired by the natural texture of sand dunes after being blown in the wind, and embellishments to suggest the sparkle of crushed up seashells are strategically placed throughout.</span></div>

A seductive saxophone medley played out as models clad in black bunny-ear masks strided down the runway. Monaca took a retro spin for her collection 'Favorite Heroine' drawing inspiration from the lead of a childhood movie. A fun and feminine feel took prominence with high-waisted ensembles; leather shorts, flared sleeves, and silky fabrics. A subtle colour palette with soft pinks, khaki, burgundy, and yellow were mixed. Soft knitted flared pants paired with a cropped fluffy sweater in pale pink was a stand out look.</span></span></div>

<span class="" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Vancouver designer <span class="" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">Melissa Yin</span> showcased flattering cuts with her leather-based brand, presenting 'Nine to Five'- a collection of fashion forward pieces to take you from day to night. Bright lipstick red leather was contrasted with cream and black shades in fitted silhouettes. An elegant full-length black dress with short-capped sleeves and a cinched-in waist formed a striking look. An inspiring attention to detail was shown with silver star-shaped zippers and rhinestone trim which beautifully caught the light.</span></span></div>

<span class="" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Japanese brand <span class="" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;"><a href="https://wildfraulein-tokyo.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">WILDFRÄULEIN71</a> </span>put forward a unisex collection inspired by the strong but transient beauty of a woman with a courageous man by her side. Designer Roop Shimura brought a more artisanal feel to the collective show, looking into the conceptual relationship between energy and form. An eclectic mix of colour and texture, layered outfits were pieced together with matte and shiny textures in autumnal shades. A highlight was a yellow knitted button up dress paired under a belted red check jacket, with a green pageboy hat to complete the look. In an artistic manner, painted glass art pieces were carried by the models, who at the end of the runway, pointed to the sky, and announced their names and where they are from. An expressive presentation to close the show.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Last season I had the ultimate pleasure of attending <a href="http://www.ziadnakad.com/" target="_blank">Ziad Nakad's</a> </span>breathtaking collection at the <span style="background-color: white; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><a href="http://www.thewestinparis.com/" target="_blank">Hôtel Westin Paris Vendôme</a> and the best show I've ever been too. The spring summer 2018 line is no different; it's simply stunning, elegant and full of beauty that embodies Paris chic at its best. I urge you to take the time to watch the runway show below to marvel at these glimmering gowns!</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="DA" style="background-color: white;">For h</span><span style="background-color: white;">is Spring Summer 2018 collection, <a href="http://www.ziadnakad.com/" target="_blank">Ziad Nakad</a> decided to celebrate
the<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>« Goddess of wheat" and
"Mother of the Earth". Goddess who gathers the fruits of the earth
and offers them to humanity; its cult is particularly flourishing in the
countries where this wheat is found in abundance, in Sicily, in the region of
Eleusis, in Crete, in Thrace and in the Peloponnese.</span></span></div>
<div class="Pardfaut">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="Pardfaut">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white;">Like a bird flying over the harvests, perfectly free, crossing a
colorful sky, resplendent and singularly geometric: the pale blue of the
firmament mixes with the yellow and gold of the wheat, the green of the earth,
the coral of the ocean and the <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>bronze
trees at sunset. Wheat ears dot the dresses, a tribute to the most iconic
representation of the goddess Demeter. Dress after dress, Ziad Nakad plays a
subtle game that celebrates life in a precise mastered know-how and silk
embroidery sublimated tulles.</span></span></div>
