Vivienne Tam SS13

Vivienne Tam is always such a pleasure to watch.

She always utilizes creativity, her heritage and her love of yoga into her collections.

Spring/Summer 2013, inspired by the five elements of Chinese cosmology: metal, wood, water, fire and earth, was a refreshing sight to behold. [Read more...]

Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Premiere: Osklen SS13

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...]

Carlos Miele SS13 Backstage and Snippets

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...]

Backstage at New York Fashion Week FW12: Carlos Miele’s Redken Hair

Brazilian born Carlos Miele is one of my favourite designers and I was in absolute awe at his Fall/Winter 2012 show this season at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week.

For his collection, inspired by the south winds of Rio, Miele enlisted Rodney Cutler of Redken to style his models with feminine and casual elegance.

To be quite honest, the entire show had me singing Paula Fernandes’ “Canções do vento Sul.”

… and I adore Fernandes, so I was a very happy girl during Miele’s entire runway presentation.

The final product was to vie for!
