<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Per <a href="http://www.style.com/fashionshows/complete/slideshow/F2013MEN-DDOMA/#1">l'autunno-inverno 2013-2014</a> Damir Doma si reinventa secondo uno spirito sportivo che si distacca dal tono trascendentale delle sue collezioni precedenti.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Il fil rouge che lega tutta la collezione è l'ispirazione ad un alpinismo dal sapore retrò, nostalgicamente attinta dall'esperienza dello stesso Doma.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Il nuovo uomo immaginato dal giovane designer tedesco unisce in sé una forte consapevolezza sartoriale, che ritroviamo nell'uso di tessuti senza tempo come bouclé e velluto, ad uno spirito d'avanguardia che vi accosta pelle e nylon.</span></div>

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Once again with their latest collection Kate and Laura managed to bring us to a new dimension, this time an idyllic land where the moon shines all through the day over immense golden wheat fields, a land projected in a faraway future but still deeply rooted to the good old traditions. <br />
Almost a utopian vision of the years to come, as a monition keeping present the ghost of the ancient values in times strongly threatening their survival.<i></i></div>Prince Paradoxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09167048039996309718noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1784998263234303805.post-5217308654132963342010-12-01T14:03:00.000-08:002013-01-16T00:39:38.669-08:00Your own personal Jesus<div style="text-align: center;"><br />

The aspect i love the most about Art and Fashion in particular, is the ability to convey through aesthetics some messages that could never be described in words, involving the phenomenologic net developped by humanity throughout the history.<br />
Those who criticize Fashion are usually just <i>unable</i> to go beyond the image itself to try and read the meanings and the messages it tries to convey...<br />

But that doesn’t mean i would eliminate this whole process if i could, you understand that saying goodbye to certain brands -cause that’s what they are now: brands- would be kind of a massacre (i told you, it’s weak).</div><div style="text-align: center;">Long story short, when we lost Lee McQueen, we lost one of the great artists of our times, and now, as sad as it is, there’s no way to bring back his unique message, aesthetic, vision just because they actually were unique!</div><div style="text-align: center;">That’s why the brand’s new collection left me struggling among contrasting feelings.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Personally, i felt Sarah Burton’s collection as a kind of “homage” to Lee’s Art, almost as a retrospective of his work.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Watching the collection, i caught many suggestions linked to exact moments of his artistic evolution, from the aseptic minimalism of the early collections, to the historical cuts that permeated all of his work, to the medieval embroidery of the last pieces. The prints, the materials, the buckles, the shoes, the decoration, you can feel the futuristic vibe as well as the strict relationship with nature, the artist’s avant-gardism as well as his romanticism, all in one collection.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Everything barely gathered together by a common theme, it being this “country” thing in the embroidery/prints/wheat/basket-weaved hair, which i found a bit pretentious.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Finally the collection left me with the desolating sensation that he is actually gone, forever, and i hate to get emotional but i can’t avoid it if i think of everything he could have still given to us.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Now it’s up to you Sarah, let’s see what you can do!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">That being said, it was my favourite show of the season. </div><div style="text-align: center;">I mean, come on, it’s sartorial perfection! I had to hold my breath when the feather gown came in, after literally shivering to every single movement the model made in that incredible seaweed-ish dress. And the butterfly dress. And the wild use of leather lace.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Poetry.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I just wish Sarah started her own line…</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
