_In Suburbia

Hi all,

Again it's been too long since i last posted!

As you might know i do love a bit of menswear, and as it isn't always seen i wanted to share with you some of my favourite collections.

Here it is, he is Benjamin Bertram and a stunning collection, defiantly

a treat for your eyes!!!

Benjamin Bertram has a theory of his own when it comes to fashion: in times of financial instability, creativity is born. 

 Following this idea, decided to base his Menswear Graduate Collection: Suburban Boys around the idea of the disenfranchised youth in Britain, taking inspiration from Suburban Subcultures as well as what he calls “the boy himself”, 

this idealised image of “a cool street lad with a cheeky wink”.

_Niels Peeraer

A pastel-colored fairytale about a boy who prepares himself every day to marry his imaginary 
boyfriend, while wearing his grandmother’s couture jackets, wrapped around tweed, fake fur, tulle, sequined silk and stunning leather accessories.

           For this collection was inspired by a very feminine Asian boy, while his main goal was about blurring the line between women’s and men’s collections.

_Kubickova

Ahoj!

An amazing Czech designer i must share with you all!

Zuzana Kubickova

Beautiful and delicate clothing with exaggerated hips and soft textures that 

make the model float instead of walk.

Embroidered lace pattern and laser cut work across the the garments and 

on the knees of the stockings and truly amazing.

So simple and delicate how they have been attached, and the pieces together give a very enthral

feel.

_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.

_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.
The video is beautiful so please have a look!

I do love this boy a lot! I don't know why??

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.
