harpies and sirens

They look like harpies and sirens. Like goddess of beauty. They hairs are combed backwards; they are tiny and look symmetrical. Wrapped into tulle dresses or golden shining dresses but they don’t look overloaded. They enchant the picture. They look with a strong expression but also roboters like. Yes, they are the models of the collection ‘Duality’ of Jan Taminiau.
An important roll plays the heavy ancient hand woven Chinese cloth and also the embroidered fabric.
Jan Taminiau defines in this collection the woman’s silhouette new, broad shoulders, slim and long necks and for all he doesn’t emphasize the waist. Concerning colors he hangs back ‘cause Eggshell color, light blue, crème color and a little bit gold aren’t dominant colors. Anyhow Taminiaus recent collection is a real eyes spectacle, never to be forgotten so quickly. Definitely I lift the shining thumb up.

Origami

Alexandra Verschueren is a Fashion Design graduate of the ‘Royal Academy of Fine Arts Antwerp’. Her collection 2010 medium is magnificent. Because it’s the best example for that fashion is an art, but not only things to put on. For this collection she designed clothes made of paper. She combined with clothes made of textile. Her clothes haves sometimes colorful lines and also paintings just done by child.
Most recently a lot of young designer use paper, because you can constitute something sculptural by paper. Few years ago, this was quiet exceptional.
So then, Alexandra Verschueren, you did really excellent work.

power sister

Before, Laura and Kate Mulleavy are genius. A just have been looking around what the in California born power-sisterteam Laura and Kate have to offer in their men-collection in her Rodarte-label. That exceeded all expectations. Really!
Look at these photos. It’s amazing how they use cloth and other materials. One half knit and the other half fabric sewn together. So diverse, but also wonderful harmonizing.
Not only the view is breathtaking, no, but also the price. Unfortunately at don’t belong to the people, who can take easily $2,750 out of their purse. But still I didn’t lose all my hope that I will get one these spectacular pieces.

sleek stray glitter

Hey guys, last week I came across with ‘sleek’-Magazine. But only today I come to blog.
I think the cover is really magic. It looks like embroidered on visual.
Nice photos, but in my opinion it’s too much black and white.
The articles please me, they are simple, short and nice. English as well as German.
‘Cause I’m from Berlin I was very interested in the articles ‘Berlin People’ and ‘Berlin Places’.
„Berlin has become a state of mind that is not confined to a geographic location. Acknowledging the globalization of the Berlin phenomenon, we present Berlin Places in London, New York, Bergen, Bad Gastein – and Berlin“, Sleek.
The paper smelled like magazine-shop and a little bit like forest. And also one big plus is that there is not so much advertising as in Vogue. But I must admit sometimes I really love to view advertising.

Wunderkind session

Now I want to show you Wunderkinds Spring 2010 ready-to-wear collection.
I found it in ‘material girl’ issue 10/summer. It was clearly the clothes that my attention was directed to Wunderkind totally.
Just Couture!
By the way for this collection the russian Ranya Mordanova, 18, modeled. She is one of my favourite. She has a pot haircut, distinctive features and wonderful eyes look.
So, in this year I like the RTW-collections all in all, but Prada and Wunderkind are on top. Surely you know, why I think so.
In his collection Wolfgang Joop makes it again and again to create a structure, that has a clear line but is also smooth and feminine.
