BURBERRY PROSUM

2011-12-01T22:17:00.000-08:00

Since his arrival at foundling label Burberry Prorsum in 2001, designer Christopher Bailey has taken the luxe British brand to new heights. Drawing inspiration from Burberry's illustrious heritage, he updates its classic styles with fashion-forward flair. Make the line your destination for elegantly tailored dresses, structured military jackets and, of course, the iconic trench coat.

For all the lip service paid to it of late, heritage can be a heavy load to bear. Vaunted traditions can quickly send their standard bearers into staleness. At Burberry though, Christopher Bailey continues his neat balancing act of being both conservative and bold. The brand will always stand behind the trench (the company invented it, after all), the car coat, and the parka. But how to keep them fresh, season in and season out?

RAF SIMONS

2011-11-19T22:52:00.000-08:00

Raf Simons (born January 12, 1968) is a belgian fashion designer. He studied Industrial Design but after a few years of self-study, he became a menswear designer in 1995. Initially, he worked with Walter Van Beirendonk in Paris where he was exposed to the work of Martin Margiela and Jean paul Gaultier.

Inspired by uniforms of English Schools, movies and today's headlines, Raf Simons was the first designer in the 1990s to give menswear a new graphic pencil-slim silhoutte.

A favorite among the youth, he has a cult following and considered iconoclastic.

An inventive designer, Raf Simons gets his inspirations from world headlines and creates an inspiring collection based on those.

His collections (menswear only) are strongly influenced by youth culture albeit in an indirect way. He often combines strongly cut classic menswear with baggy streetwear-influenced items. Simons' style has been described as highly influential. He is cited as being one of the most important innovators in contemporary menswear by the international press

There were plenty of his signature, high-spirited gowns (see: the cobalt blue halter number with puckered silk fuxico detail), but the Brazilian designer has been trying to ramp up his daywear offerings for a while now, and he showed a few looks here that were welcome departures from his normal fare. While two-tone palazzo pants with a high waist or a slick denim suit with flared trousers seemed a little too Charlie's Angels, a white crepe jumpsuit and a coral romper could work with heels or at the beach. And speaking of the beach, Miele showed swimwear for the first time. Considering how much Brazilians love their bikinis, it's surprising that it took him this long to get around to it. The results should be a hit with Miele fans looking for something less formal and expensive.

As is his habit, he stuck steadfastly to a monochrome palette at this morning's Resort presentation, showing dresses and skirtsuits in black, white, navy, or icy gray. The silhouette was body-conscious but not clingy; waists were clasped with micro-thin belts, and hems grazed the upper shins. Models wore white-soled sandal flatforms.

ALEXANDER WANG 15 JUNE NEW YORK

2011-10-16T22:41:00.000-07:00

Fresh off his Accessories Designer of the Year win at last week's CFDA Fashion Awards, Wang is introducing his first-ever sneaker, the better to complement a collection informed by pictures of seventies-era marathoners. His starting point came across both literally (the color-blocked, contrast-trim running shorts come to mind) and more figuratively. Zip-front jackets were as slick as glass, pants had a tracksuit slouch, and a sexy L.B.D. was streamlined like a wetsuit.

Yes, scuba references surfaced here, as they have at other labels this month. In fact, Wang did some of the most covetable swimsuits we've seen anywhere, in bold solids with racy cutouts that were echoed in his dresses. The bikini as layering piece is a look we've been seeing New York City girls sporting this summer, and Wang had his own take: showing a two-piece as underpinnings for a fab patchwork windbreaker vest and black trousers. His label is booming, but he's clearly paying attention to his ground zero, the street.

2012 HAIR TRENDS

2011-10-06T22:37:00.000-07:00

Futurism was the name of the game at shows such as Rochas, Issey Miyake and Narciso Rodriguez, where hair was sculpted into the most streamlined of cone-shaped chignons. Just make sure to use plenty of hairspray if you choose to copy this look yourself - stray hairs just will not do.

Yes, ponytails are just as prevalent this season as last, but a new way of wearing the trend was seen at Emilio Pucci, where tousled, side-parted hair was gathered into super-low ponies a few inches from the ends. The look was also seen at Clements Ribeiro, and at Viktor & Rolf, where it was tied with a neat little ribbon.

How pretty is this looped pony from the Carolina Herrera show? Orlando Pita was responsible for this super-practical look, whilst it was Luigi Murenu who provided the glamorous slicked styles at Gucci, pinning all the loose ends underneath the body of a perfectly lacquered pony. At Moschino Cheap & Chic they were looped up and tied with raffia and ribbon, whilst Marc by Marc Jacobs and House of Holland saw them clipped down at the nape of the neck with Goody barrettes.

Fashion Sparked by Wit Hussein Chalayan

2011-09-30T22:34:00.000-07:00

A good designer is like an attentive waiter: he is there to serve his guests and quietly depart. Fashion, as Cristobal Balenciaga famously and sourly observed at the end of his career, is a dog’s life. Ah, but if only he had known Hussein Chalayan, he might have at least savored the human comedy.

Mr. Chalayan is fashion’s Marathon Man. He has done so much to make fashion interesting and alive. And while still at a young age he has realized that what fashion needs, more than ever, is wit and simplicity. “I wanted to do craft in a minimal way,” he said backstage, retying his apron strings as people crowded round. “Yeah, I was quite pleased. It was all about showing clothes.”

They were deceptively simple, with a well-balanced trouser suit in white followed by a long, open-back white column with a sheer panel of fabric flowing from the shoulders and looping at the hem. A trio of sleeveless tops or tunics in sorbet colors were cut away in the back and shown with gathered cotton skirts.

There were surprises everywhere: a summery white shift with a front panel of dark tapestry roses; prints in a brushy pattern of horses and flowers; and cool shorts in a reflective, papery silver fabric.
Mr. Chalayan might not buy it, but “Sip,” as the show was called, offered just the right amount of style for next spring.

Born on 8 October 1967 in Venezuela, Hannibal Laguna grew up watching the work of his parents at «Donetta Venezolana», one of the most renowned children’s fashion factories in the 80s. In 1982, he moved to Europe where he studied tailoring in Milan and chose fashion creation as his means of professional expression.

In 1987, he began his solo career opening his first prêt-à-porter point of sale. But, it was not until 1990 when he made his debut on the Pasarela Cibeles catwalk, introducing his collections into the best multi-brand boutiques in Spain and thus paving the way to the most important distinguishing marks of his track record has been his ability to combine perfectly the attainment and creation of trademark licenses with the expansion and development of his own ateliers and couture collections.

The Hannibal Laguna Brides international line for Pronovias; Hannibal Laguna Bijoux; the Communion Fashion collection for Marla Española; Hannibal Laguna Grooms for Protocolo; the Hannibal Laguna shoe and accessory collection, and the «Marie Claire 100 years» collection are perfect examples of this coexistence.

Since 1997 to the present day, he has shown his couture bridal collections at Pasarela Gaudí Novias in Barcelona. In 1998, he began his relationship with Cibeles, a collaboration which, after several years at the BCN Fashion Week, he has renewed once again with the showing of his «Too Cherry» collection at ratified with One & Only at Pasarela Cibeles (September 2007).

He has collaborated in national and international fashion projects for major firms such as L’Oreal and Palmolive and his interesting involvement in the following exhibitions is noteworthy: «Art and fashion» (Valencia, Valmontone, La Havana and Saint Petersburg); «Passion. Spanish design» (Madrid, Salamanca, Chicago and Berlin); «Behind the looking glass. Spanish fashion» (Madrid); «31 twists to a bag» (Madrid and Valencia) and «Barbie fashion icon»’ (Madrid).

She's been doing it for years, and she did it once again for Resort in a collection that was inspired by the interiors at legendary decorator David Hicks' Paris shop. The silhouettes, too, will be familiar to Sui fans: forties-style frocks, peasant-style tunic tops, and empire-waist maxi dresses, in floral, Pop, and Deco prints. In addition to reprises of old hits (the cherry print that was a favorite last Resort is back as a full fruit bowl), there were a few new forays (like a great lace safari jacket or a series of Lurex knits). But all in all, it's all very Anna; this much-loved designer doesn't bother to chase fads. That said, the fact that current trends are aligning with Sui's way of doing things could bring fresh eyes to her work.

GABRIELE STREHLE

2011-08-01T23:17:00.000-07:00

The work of Gabriele Strehle reflects a profound encounter with life as she perceives it. She is passionately devoted to quality both in terms of material and idea.

I always think the word philosophy is a bit too highbrow for fashion, but the expression lifestyle is simply too shallow. I prefer to think of it as an attitude to life,” says Gabriele Strehle.

“The aim isn’t for someone to dress in our products from top to toe. Quite the opposite: the self-confident women who are our typical customers would never dream of confusing brand worship with style,” she explains.

“But the diversity of our products establishes a kind of panorama: people feel what we feel and recognize what we are aiming for, without the need for us to announce our intentions,” Strehle explained.

For Gabriele Strehle, whose passion applies not only to uncompromising quality of materials and fabrics, but also to the quality of ideas has found perfect place between high fashion and just wearing clothes. And thus, her collections reveal sensuousness and intelligence, tinged with a longing for profundity, radiating a desire for depth.

Within the clamorous and the eccentric world of fashion, Gabrielle Strehle is one of the soft and subtle voices. Her work presents not only an outward appearance but above all, its own background as well.

Even if fashion is the focus of her life, Gabriele Strehle does not expect our busy and complex lifestyles to be centered on fashion only. To Gabriele Strehle, the Strenesse woman has responsibilities and has well-defined priorities.

Hence, Gabriele Strehle does not assume nor expect the Strenesse woman to dress herself with Strenesse items from head to toe. With Gabriele Strehle’s innate understanding of people with multi-faceted life to whom her aesthetics appeal, brand worship does not exist or is allowed.

PHILIP LIM COLLECTION NEW YORK 2011

2011-07-28T21:59:00.000-07:00

The temperature is steadily climbing to the infernal end of the thermometer in New York, so it was a breezy relief to enter Phillip Lim Garment District showroom and find "the beginnings of a quintessential summer wardrobe" (albeit one that doesn't hit stores until November). Translation: loose layers and relaxed silhouettes.

That's not to say Lim has caught the caftan fever that's going around. The designer added shape and chic to his Resort collection by focusing strongly on the waist, adding drawstrings to jumpsuits and cropped parkas and paper-bag closures to tiny shorts. Sometimes, his fascination got the better of him, as in a couple of harem pants whose wraparound sashes gave unnecessary heft. But overall, Lim's downtown clientele will find much to love. Colors are cooler—sky blue, white, sand, mint, and cream—though bursts of hot poppy and marigold appear here and there. Beasts (that is, leopard and ponyhair motifs) joined those flower colors to suggest a nature theme. But in the end, it will all feel right at home on city streets. That ponyhair is print, not skin, to give the look without the heat.

Alexandre Herchcovitch is syncing up with American retailers and getting in on the annual Resort race. His debut vacation collection was much sweeter than what we're used to seeing from the Brazilian designer—if anything, this was a total 180 from his somber Fall lineup. While a high-necked shift with a dainty but sparse floral print and conservative sleeves came across as almost chaste, foxy bustier tops also popped up a few times; and a crepe de chine dress with corsetlike seaming at the bust that appeared to be layered over a sheer black T-shirt was actually just one piece. Other noteworthy looks included silver cropped pants knotted at the natural waistline for a flattering fit and a shrunken jacket with faintly blouson sleeves that paired like a dream with a matching pencil skirt in pearlized, pastel jacquard. All in all, Herchcovitch maybe played it too safe. But these cute and feminine pieces could very well sell better than the maverick designer's

CLEMENTS RIBEIRO LONDON 2011

2011-06-23T01:58:00.000-07:00

Spring 2011 dress to the New York premiere of Rabbit Hole, and just over a week ago, young Harry Potter actress Bonnie Wright did the same at the BAFTAs. These red-carpet moments, said Suzanne Clements and Inacio Ribeiro yesterday in a preview, are the fruits of showing on the runway, which they very reluctantly did for the first time after a long absence last season. "When we stopped, the idea of going back was really overwhelming," said Clements. "We thought once we fall into that hole, we'll never get back out again." Added Ribeiro: "Another thing is that the Internet is a major factor. For better or for worse, we're here."

Mostly better, really. Their second appearance on the schedule enjoyed a less tentative attendance than Spring. And the collection, which they named Romance Darkly, evolved and enriched the very chic, long, midi-hem silhouette (this time lengthened further by stacked wooden platforms from Charlotte Olympia) that they began to explore last season. "We don't want to mess too much with cuts," said Ribeiro. "We are fabric and texture people."

MARK BOUWER INTERVIEW

2011-04-26T01:42:00.000-07:00

MARK BOUWER FASHION DESIGNERS

2011-04-26T01:27:00.000-07:00

DALLAS, Aug 15, 2008 / FW/ — Originally from Johannesburg, South Africa, Marc Bouwer immigrated to the U.S. armed with a portfolio that won him South Africa Vogue Young Designer Award. It seemed that S.A. Vogue and fashion legend Halston had the same opinion about Marc.

Shortly after arriving in New York, Marc Bouwer met Halston and as if he was making a prediction, the legendary designer said, “I think you got something, kid!”

Working under Halston, Marc refined his skills – from tailoring to cutting and draping. Eventually becoming a master draper, Marc’s draping technique would eventually make him the darling of the fashion set and give rise to one of his signature looks, ‘athletic glamour.’

Launching his own line during the 1990s, Marc Bouwer’s star continue to rise as his creations graced the cover of Harper’s Bazaar, Oprah, Cosmopolitan, Instyle, Vanity Fair, Glamour and Vibe Magazine among others.

Bouwer was also one of the first adopters of ‘animal free’ collection. In 2002, made fashion history when he presented a collection made completely free of animal products. PETA sponsored the Mercedes Benz Fashion Week show. A PETA Humanitarian Award soon followed.

AQUILANO RIMONDI SPRING 2011

2011-04-25T05:03:00.000-07:00

"Deep and long cracks exalt the body of the interpreter." That terrifying-sounding process, described in the arcane notes that accompanied Aquilano.Rimondi's Spring collection, was fortunately nowhere in evidence on the duo's catwalk. There were, however, deep and long slits that opened up dresses with the seventies-doing-forties line we've seen already this season. Bearing in mind that the seventies were a good decade for Italian fashion and that Tommaso Aquilano and Roberto Rimondi have sometimes cast themselves as standard-bearers of Italian culture, it made perfect sense that here they enthusiastically dived into the colors, prints, and proportions of that era. The result: an immediate reprieve from the rather less-distinctive collection they had shown for the house of Ferré earlier in the week.

BADGLEY MISCHKA SPRING 2011

2011-03-28T23:14:00.000-07:00

For Spring, Mark Badgley and James Mischka invoked the "timeless glamour" of White Mischief, the 1988 film about aristocratic British expats in colonial Kenya—a group that apparently dressed impeccably while behaving quite badly, particularly when the sun went down. But what better than fashion to wash away the sins of last night? The design duo cast the collection in fresh powdery pinks and icy blues that were nothing short of angelic.

There was a lot going on here, what with three collections—couture, ready-to-wear, and the contemporary Mark & James line—mixing it up on the runway, at times in a single look. But Badgley and Mischka maintained an admirably stylish coherence. You could watch a lacy jacquard strapless column from couture followed by a little linen jacket and silky high-waisted shorts finished with a beaded belt from Mark & James and not feel jolted.

MITCHELL JOHNSON

2011-03-24T01:08:00.000-07:00

Mitchell Johnson, born November 2, 1981 in Townsville, Queensland, Australia, is an Australian cricketer.

When attending a fast-bowling clinic in Brisbane at age 17, former Test fast-bowler Dennis Lillee spotted and identified Johnson as a "once-in-a-lifetime prospect" and quickly arranged for the young athlete to join the Australian Cricket Academy in Adelaide.

An athlete who started out preferring tennis, Johnson was late to focus on cricket and suffered early in his career with four back stress fractures that almost floored him for good. He persevered, driving a plumbing van when he lost his Queensland contract, and became only the fourth Australian left-arm paceman to pass 100 Test wickets.

With a strong, flowing run to the crease, Johnson can become mechanical in delivery, especially if his wrist, a long-term concern, is in the wrong position. When it's bad, he sprays the ball on both sides of the wicket like an old-fashioned firebrand. When it's perfect, there is probably no better bowler in the game.

Johnson achieved great success in 2008 when he was named Player of the Series vs. South Africa 2008-09. He followed that up a year later with another great feat -- he was awarded the International Cricket Council's 2009 "Cricketer of the Year" award, the Sir Garfield Sobers Trophy on 2 October 2009.

ALBINO SPRING 2011

2011-03-22T01:12:00.000-07:00

Like some of his more established Milanese peers, Albino D'Amato found his muse in Yves Saint Laurent this season. The first model's big, floppy straw hat was a giveaway, and the second look sealed it: a strapless onesie in spicy YSL colors, gathered in the front and with an airy, blouson shape in the back. The master's seventies glamour gave this collection a more grown-up sophistication than it had last time; Fall's baby-doll girls are now dames.

They wore strapless jumpsuits or to-the-floor trapeze dresses in bold color-blocked stripes and silk floral tapestry prints—uncomplicated pull-on-and-go vacation clothes. Or, for something more urbane: a swingy raincoat in "plastified" silk the color of cement and a linen crepe pantsuit in lavender and chartreuse with a jacket that had a vaguely Asian influence. Nineties Japanese designers were another source of inspiration, D'Amato claimed backstage. That might have an interesting effect on what he described as his growing business in Japan.
