Alexander McQueen ‘Behind the Scenes’
You know that we love backstage photography, seeing all the madness and glamor of huge shows and productions- watching all the models, make-up & hair run around. Everyone is stressed, but beautiful at the same time! Well here we have the great photography of Agata Pospieszynska who beautifully captured the backstage the latest SS 2011 [...]

Viktor & Rolf : Paris SS 2011
As can be expected from Viktor & Rolf, they delivered quite a show with their SS 2011 collection. Voluminously exaggerated layers of shirting styles made their way down the runway in a very animated tenor. Though the dramatic pieces had a great presence and were completely necessary in illustrating the designers inspiration it was the [...]

Alexander McQueen : Paris SS 2011
It was really hard to believe that after Alexander McQueen’s passing the house would be able to live on in its grandiose fashion. This collection is living proof that there is someone left to carry his legacy and dedication to craftsmanship. Sarah Burton worked beside McQueen for 15 years and has shared that there were [...]

KENZO : PARIS SS 2011
In honor of the 40th anniversary of Kenzo, designer Antonio Marras dedicated the second half of the show to creating a cross-cultural journey of traditional costumes by layering multiple pieces from the Kenzo archive to create these fascinating ‘towers of clothing’.

For SS 2011 Maison Martin Margiela it was the message of 2-dimensionality. The models transformed into paper dolls. Our eyebrows raised and eyes opened wide to [...]

FLASH FORWARD STYLE : PARIS SS 2011
Architecture, paneling, texture and a cool palette seemed to be the guiding lights in both Gareth Pugh and Pedro Lorenco’s deliveries of their SS 2011 Collection. I mention all those ingredients specifically because even though their results were different enough and original to their own styles, they shared a very futuristic aesthetic. Flash forward to [...]

COMME DES GARCONS : PARIS SS 2011
Hyper-organized chaos is Rei Kawakubo’s signature method of design. She always finds some new way to deconstruct the most basic garment and turn it into a work of art. For Comme Des Garcons SS 2011 there were a lot of spare sleeves and asymmetry which in conjunction with the styling of the girls hair and [...]

CELINE : PARIS SS 2011
Phoebe Philo has changed the way that even the mass market looks at fashion in only 2 full seasons of showing for Celine. For SS 2011 she continues to build our desire for the simple and streamlined, while continuously staying at the forefront of trends and the top tier of her class. In the last [...]
