_JANTINE VAN PESKI’S WIRES 10.0 COLLECTION

Jantine van Peski studied at the Amsterdam Fashion Institute before attending the Fashion Department of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts Antwerp, where she graduated in 2011 from a master (MA) degree with ‘WIRES 10.0’ collection. Her work focuses on silhouette and craftsmanship, with great attention to materials and techniques used.

Jantine’s was strongly influenced by the textile sculptures from the 1970’s and specifically the macramé-technique. 

That was the starting point to construct pieces of clothing out of cord and yarn, straight from the body and using only one type of knot.

LINKS À LA MODE: THE IFB WEEKLY ROUNDUP

Cooler Weather Brings Haute Fashion: That’s How The Saying Goes Right?

Edited by: Jessie Thorpe of Denimology

Cooler weather has made it’s way in and it leaves me feeling a definitive need to dress up lavishly. Some girls have been frocked fancifully for the entire month of Dressember. I think it’s important to make the effort to look extra stylish in the Winter months.  I’ve been decorating myself glamorously in festive jewel tones: emerald, crystal, ruby with gold making and appearance every now and again also. My wardrobe has definitely become darker as I use lots of navy and black basics letting my accessories do the talking.

_DIY The shirt collar necklace

Hello, hope all is well.

So here is another DIY, hope you liked the last one!

This collar necklace, you can use any simple outfit a bit of revitalization. Trim the collar off an oldshirt and sew a few chains here. You can actually use as an ornament, but i think the possibilities are endless.

_DIY Gold leaf Jewellery

Hey!

_So in time for christmas i wanted to share some joy and some gold!

Some gold leaf jewellery for the festive season which costs you pennies!!

Looks amazing and is pretty fun and can be used for many things!!

During fashion week, we saw many designers already passing: the use of gold as a fashion accessory. Actually very fun and an inexpensive way todo more creative in the days to come. This clearly shows that with a little effort you can put together your gold jewellry in no time!

I am starting my final project of my degree and i am completely stuck,

_Valentina Poletti

_Currently based in Berlin, Valentina Poletti send us her final project to review and we were thoroughly consumed by her concept and execution.

 Besides the conceptual garments and photos she has collaborated with Carolina Amoretti to make a amazing video bringing together different environments that reflect the concepts of each look.

“My collection shows the two personalities of the same outfit, one a hostile and complex geometrical city representing urbanization and static routine and the other in a natural and free landscape which represents escapism.”

Borre Akkersdijk (By Borre) is a 25 years old Paris based freelance designer. The Design Academy of Eindhoven had his first Paris fashion show: the First cycle last month– the story from the yarn to the show. A beautiful and interesting collection with oversize knitted coats and dresses as well as duffle dresses. This appeals to me as i am a massive knitting lover and knit all the time.

_Time to Pretend

Fall into your minds imagination,

let yourself be carried away.

Céline

Hey,

sorry I've been M.I.A lately, loads of work during my final year at university, and my Fashion course is taking up most of my time, so I'm quickly posting between drawing and pattern cutting..........

Céline draws in crowds to see their show, yet still manage to maintain their poise and elegance. Since Phoebe Philo took over the helm two years ago, Céline has pretty much become the go-to line for stunning cuts and sleek perfection. A woman’s design for the woman wearer.

Phoebe gets simpler and softer, delivering a refreshing, palette-cleansing collection, a detox of all the colour bursting out there. “No, there’s nothing particular this season,” says the designer, when asked about her inspiration. “It’s just very sculptural, very three-dimensional. We accentuated the bits that felt strong to accentuate, tried to create some new proportions.”

Perfectly said.

Will get back to all of you....

_ULYANA SERGEENKO

Gorgeous prints and silhouettes from Russian designer Ulyana Sergeenko,

taking inspirtation from 1950's Soviet Vogue.

Creating timeless pieces and made in beautiful fabrics to show off the body in all it's glory.

Caterina Ciuffoletti - Getoutofyourskin

Beautiful designer i have come across this morning, with a anatomic dress

to die for!

This silk organza dress sets the archetypal of GETOUTOFYOURSKIN. 16 layers of organza cut to follow silhouettes of rib cages are draped on the body creating a subtle game of shapes and contrasts.

 The idea is to build trinity into anatomy; the three-ribcage silhouettes are placed on the body and draped to give a sense of dynamic power and frail appearance at the same time.

Beautifully crafted pieces, with a delicate feel yet strong sense of structure that flows between layers of organza.
