Due to my current obsession with light colours, the collections in Milan didn’t really translate very well to my envisioning of the winter season, after such a beautiful array of light, airy and futuristic garments. The futurism was still there, just maybe not in such a varied form- references to the black and white film […]
I remember a couple of years back when I decided to play around with my own designer creations- mini dresses and coats, all with different motifs and patterns. In those creations, I put in repetitions of certain objects so they created a pattern- pasta shells around the edges, flower ‘stamps’ all over the sleeves. Back […]
When someone says puffy jackets to me for winter, I tell them they’re not me. In my opinion, there is nothing attractive at all in looking like an abominable snowman. Now, for a couple of seasons, they have not appeared a lot in the catwalk collections and I was very surprised to see this trend […]
There is a certain phenomenon which has been appearing around the catwalks of the world lately, brought up even more clearly at the New York Fashion Week.
