Roksanda Ilincic

Roksanda Ilincic presented a arty collection, sculptural volumes and bold colors,involving odd contrasts of dusty mid-blues and pops of frosted tangerine. There’s more of a sense of texture than usual in the herringbone and stiffer double-faced materials she’s deployed to make dresses with half-wraps that peel back in a ripple of folds on one side; and Ilincic has made a new foray into knitted bouclé dresses and sweaters.

Peter Pilotto for Target

London-based label Peter Pilotto is known for its kaleidoscopic, futuristic, printed looks. On February 9, they’ll follow in the footsteps of designers like Phillip Lim and Prabal Gurung when they bring their neon-hued, digi-printed womenswear to the masses via a hotly anticipated collaboration with Target. The beachy seventy-piece capsule comprises trapezoidal-cut swimwear; some very boardwalk-to-street Vans-style trainers; lots of feminine, floral-layered hoop skirts; and some rash-guard-inspired separates. The range, which is priced between $14.99 and $79.99, will be the first of Target’s designer collaborations to be sold on Net-a-Porter—a testament to the quality of the work. Also a testament to the collection? Its campaign cast—not just anybody can get Jessica Stam and Jourdan Dunn to strike a pose.  Here are all the looks from the upcoming collection. 

Antonio Berardi

Antonio Berardi  key inspirations for his new collection were glam rock and starscapes. Berardi uses a clutch of cool materials to get the point across. The most eye-catching was an iridescent cloque that came off like an interplanetary brocade; the most interesting fabric to feel was a gray Tyvek streaked with wool. Berardi used both of these materials in sculptural looks, like strapless dresses with trailing "comet" hems, or dramatic ruffled capes. The cloque also made an appearance in Berardi's signature body-con pieces, such as a zip-detailed minidress. The designer's fans will like that dress and his curvilinear cropped jackets; his beautiful gray flannel coats will find a broader audience. Elsewhere, it was harder to locate the appeal: The folded shapes on certain pieces came off rather ungainly, for instance. You got the sense that the designer was working too far out of his comfort zone. Whereas the best look here—a pair of sharply cut, ultra-wide-leg trousers topped with a sweater swirled with feathers—totally hit the Berardi sweet spot. Superb tailoring, a touch of the operatic. 

Nike and Riccardo Tisci Announce Collaboration

We thought 2013 was a huge year for Riccardo Tisci—what with his CFDA International Award, the Met Gala, and his costumes for the Opera Garnier. But ‘14 is shaping up to be just as big. The Givenchy designer has exclusively revealed to Style.com that he has collaborated with Nike. The fruits of the partnership, which will bear the logo NIKE RT, will arrive in stores and on Nike.com this Spring. “For me, Nike represents a lot: my childhood, America,” Tisci said. “In Europe, America is the flag, McDonald’s, Marlboro, and Nike, for a kid it’s very important.” The respect goes both ways. “We were impressed by his vision,” Ian Ginoza, Nike’s Global Footwear Director, said. “I personally wear some of the t-shirts; that’s something that Riccardo does well, blurring the lines with street fashion.”

Neither Tisci nor Nike went into detail about the categories represented in the collaboration, but it’s safe to say that footwear will be a major part of it. Tisci has worn the same style of Nikes for 16 years. “When I got the call, it sounded so strong, so perfect for my DNA. It’s a big honor for me, especially because they’re always working with sports people,” he continued. Nike has partnered with the likes of the industrial designer Mark Newsom, the artist Tom Sachs, and (infamously) Kanye West, but it rarely collaborates with fashion designers. “I couldn’t bring them technology, instead I brought my style, what people like me for and what the young generation follows me for,” Tisci added. 

The top 10 women's colours for spring 2014 by Pantone

Designers take a modern twist on the traditional for spring 2014 by pairing soft pastels with vivid brights to create a colorful equilibrium. Inspired by a mixture of blooming flowers, travels abroad and strong, confident women, designers use color to refresh, revive and defy conventional wisdom.

 Radiant Orchid, a bold counterpart to Violet Tulip, is the color of the year. Kate Middleton and Michelle Obama are fans.

Bright, but far from electric; 'dazzling blue' earned top place on list, making it your go-to colour this time next year. 

The start of 2014

This is my first outfit post of 2014 so I decided to post my look from the New Years Eve party. The look is simple and minimalist. The red dress is from H&M and the accessories are black. I am not a hill lover but the dress looked horrible in flats. For the look final touch I add my favorite Asos statement necklace.

Well 2013 hasn't been a great year for me, but I have big hopes for 2014. Let’s see how the things are going to turn this year!

Have a great year!!!

Christopher Kane PRE-FALL 2014

2013 was a good year for Christopher Kane. He presented one of the best spring 2014 collections and was awarded Designer of the year from British Fashion Awards. He has started a great 2014 too, with his new Pre fall 2014 collection and fall 2014 menswear collection.

What marries good and bad taste in a Kane collection is his unique, unholy, alchemical ability to transform the monstrous into the glamorous. His collection has one name: Snakes. Snakes skin is presented in different ways in almost all the looks. The clothes have unique shapes and the black is the color that dominates.
