Garden Oasis: Fotini SS13

0

Born in Athens, Greece to an Egyptian father and a Greek mother, New York-based designer Fotini built a name for herself that epitomizes on the ultra chic and the uber feminine.

Her designs of the past have been as flirty and classic as they have been contemporary and luxurious.

After traveling around Europe (specifically Italy) for over three-years, Fotini’s SS13 collection, at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week, was an ode to such with 18th-century paintings and the French countryside springing to life through yards of silk and pale romantic tones. [Read more...]

Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Premiere: Osklen SS13

0

Our dream is to one day sip a caipirinha along the coastline in Rio with a saucer-shaped straw hat atop our tresses, clad in a body-con dress, with our over-sized Aviators upon our perfectly lined, in liquid noir, eyes gazing into the sunset…

…until such time we can embrace Osklen’s SS13 collection, which oozed every ounce of an “endless summer.”

Oskar Metsavaht (a former surfer), titled his well-respected Brazilian-based Osklen’s SS13 collection appropriately. An “endless summer,” in every which way, the collection was inspired by the California surf culture and the Brazilian soul of Ipanema. [Read more...]

0

Carlos Miele is my favourite fashion designer on the planet.

As someone who can be accused of being in love with all things Brazilian and Italian it pretty much falls in line with my lust for life and love of culture. If not the music, it’s the food, if not the food, it’s the people. So it’s always such a pleasure for me to view the inner workings of Miele’s mind.

Miele’s SS13 collection was a step into a hallucinatory jungle. In his made up world of giraffe prints in phosphate blue, tiger skins in oxidized yellows and silver metal embellishments the collection took on soft, yet strong form. [Read more...]
