Lady of the house: Karlie Kloss

Posted in Fashion / Fashion blog / Fashion photo shoots / Fashion pictures

With clashing prints and textures against a minimalist’s nightmare of a house, this shoot is as busy as a New York street in peak hour. But when the 1950s and 60′s are your fashion inspiration – and when Karlie Kloss is your model – that’s not necessarily a bad thing. Kloss wears every ladylike outfit with sweet conviction, from the lace dresses to the vintage-inspired hairstyles and cat eye glasses. Note that, editorially, we’ve gone back to a time when things came in sets: whether skirts and jackets or pants and tops, everything matches in this retro-revival world.

Iris Van Herpen’s peculiar visions of couture

Posted in Fashion / Fashion blog / Fashion pictures / Paris fashion week / Runway & fashion shows

Iris van Herpen is a young and very creative fashion designer presenting her own peculiar visions of the universe through her innovative, unique work on the fashion stage. Merging high technology, traditional craftsmanship, intricacy of form and unusual fabrication for her presentations, she perceives fashion as a form of self-expression. The latest fashion show, titled “Micro”, is a nod to the complexity and incredibility of microscopic organisms that have a substantial impact into our world. The creatures visible only through special microscopic tools enhanced with the photography of Steve Gschmeissner become a true inspiration for Iris as a base of her spring 2012 Haute Couture collection. The captured beauty of bacilli and vermin, while very uncanny for many, can be a breathtaking source of fashion expression.

Said Mahrouf’s Avalanche

Posted in Fashion / Amsterdam fashion week / Fashion blog / Fashion pictures / Runway & fashion shows

Said Mahrouf is a fashion designer hailing from Morocco. When he was nine years old, he and his family moved to Holland, and it was there that he studied fashion design. The collection he showed at 2012′s Amsterdam fashion week (AIFW) was made in his studio in Casablanca.

At the final show of the week Mahrouf presented his Haute Couture collection “Avalanche” which was inspired by the Avalanche rose and included a host of beautiful dresses. The whole collection was very feminine and elegant and the dresses were made of the most beautiful fabrics.

The front of the dresses may have been gorgeous, but the backs were even more stunning. He used, to fantastic effect, various different patterns for the backs. There was also a nice draping in the collection which gave a loose and lively feeling. Together with the shiny fabrics it made a refined completeness.

Surrealism, realism, and Steven Meisel

Posted in Fashion / Fashion blog / Fashion photo shoots / Fashion pictures

Surreal or Real – it’s not quite a statement, not quite a question but rather a punctuation-less piece of typography floating across the cover of Vogue Italia’s February 2012 issue. Whether or not it begs you to mentally add a question mark, it does set the mood of the issue. The main editorial, like the cover, stars Laura Kampman as photographed by Steven Meisel. It’s not your instructional type fashion shoot and nor is it exactly cinematic; in this case Meisel’s work borders more to frameable art.

The surrealism hinted at on the cover weaves in without too much fanfare. It’s all created through small twists in styling and photography rather than through cluttered Dali-esque sets or vast attempts at mind-bending futurism. If anything, some of Meisel’s black and white shots feel like they’re channeling 1920s silent films (owing some influence to The Artist, perhaps?) – clawed gloves and tree-like headpieces more akin to theatrical costume than anything you’d find in modern cinema. Kampman is a little expressionless throughout, but has just the right features to justify her casting in such a dark, vintage-esque editorial endeavour.

Dennis Diem’s asphalt jungle

Posted in Fashion / Amsterdam fashion week / Fashion blog / Fashion pictures / Runway & fashion shows

Dennis Diem was another designer to present his fall / winter 2012 collection on the last night of Amsterdam fashion week (AIFW). Diem surprised everyone with his show and was therefore the perfect clincher.

The collection he showed is called The Asphalt Jungle which refers to the film from 1950 with Marilyn Monroe. Diem has always been interested in film-noir and this turned out to be the inspiration for his latest collection.

Fitting with the theme, he used almost only black and white colors in his collection. Dennis Diem is known for handcraft and corsets, so it wasn’t that surprising that we also this time saw corsets and silhouettes with small waists and wide shoulders – such as the perfect hourglass measurements from Marilyn Monroe. We also saw lots of geometric shapes.

Friend Of Mine refined & restrained

Posted in Fashion / Clothing & Accessories / Fashion blog / Fashion careers & casting calls / Fashion collections

Friend Of Mine is a brand evolving. In a few short years designers Teale Talbot and Letitia McLean have turned the casual glam-grunge aesthetic the brand was born with into something more polished; something more equipped to stand alone on the international stage. And yet that original aesthetic has never had to pack its bags – only to grow up a little. For fall 2012 that means a mix of toughness and refined cool that comes from the marriage of sheer fabrics and leathers, masculine details and feminine ones. This next phase of the Friend Of Mine girl’s life has her trading in her motorcycle boots for stilettos; her bed-hair for a slick ponytail. But there’s nothing in these pieces to suggest they couldn’t be worn with both.

Less than zero

Posted in Fashion / Fashion blog / Fashion photo shoots / Fashion pictures

Just because we’re in the company of others, doesn’t mean we can’t be lonely. Svenja Pitz in her shoot Less Than Zero explores, visually, that feeling of two people being together and yet somehow alone. Whether they’re in the same room or listening to each others’ silences down the line of a telephone, the two characters – played by models Antonia Wesseloh and Joost Asche – are stylishly lost in a communication void.

Dark brilliance at Anne Sofie Madsen

Posted in Fashion / Copenhagen fashion week / Fashion blog / Fashion pictures / Runway & fashion shows

From the opener – a dress haphazardly fringed and embellished, worn with nude socks and heavy flat black shoes – Anne Sofie Madsen had it nailed. The ‘it’ in question is the elusive space between darkly avant guarde and coolly wearable, and while the sparkling circus-like aesthetic of the opening piece didn’t return through the rest of her fall 2012 show at Copenhagen fashion week (CFW), the remainder of the outfits were equally on-target.

These were intricate, bordering on Gothic but tipping a hat to the futurist. Polar bears reared up on some snow-capped pieces while others were splodged with galaxies of paint, or wrought with alien-faced emotion. Texture is certainly key for Madsen, and these darkly themed pieces showed their craftsmanship through the 3-dimensional details.

Splash into the street

Posted in Fashion / Fashion blog / Fashion pictures / Street style

If there was a way to look like a mermaid in winter, Aline Weber has found it. And she didn’t require any sequins, or starfish prints, or fish scales. Just a long velvet skirt that tails out, subtly, that shimmers, even more subtly… and hair worn out with a centre part for a flowing, Siren-like feel.

But the best magic trick of all is making a floor-length velvet gown oh-so-right for the daytime: just add a casual knit with rolled-up sleeves and away you go.
