Autumn / Winter 10 – 11

 

London-based Swedish designer SIMON EKRELIUS started his career in haute couture and, four years ago moved into the realm of ready-to-wear.  His most recent  Autumn/Winter 2010-11collection - STARDUST - is proving to be quite the sparkling diamond!

His work is unapologetically modern with sunny yellow accents set against a backdrop of gunpowder black and silver shades in a marriage which exudes polished, high glamour.  The collection glorifies the feminine aesthetic and is undeniably reminiscent of Old Hollywood circa 1930s. 

Ekrelius's avant garde creations look exceptionally interesting not only for their cut, but also for their black and white graphic prints. His signature use of organza shows meticulous design and skill, yet are uncomplicated in their execution.  Utilising simple yet gorgeous fabrics such as silk marocaine, silk organza, yarn silk, wool and cotton blends, as well as hand- dyed cotton organza, this designer certainly knows the importance of choosing the right fabric to achieve the right outcome. 

The label is currently stocked at My Sugarland in London, UK, as well as DADA Meeting Point in Italy & China.

Of Cabbages & Kings

Earthly Delights Collection 2010  


An investigation into post World War II fashion and the return to nature. The collection draws from the Belle Epoque ideal of long skirts, tiny waists and beautiful fabrics, traditional concepts of femininity, and the notion of 'flower women.

This combined heightened technical knowledge from a combination of vintage couture techniques learnt from studding at London College of Fashion and an internship at Alexander McQueen women’s wear. The result, hip-emphasizing skirts, lace-edged slips, and petticoats that are hybridized into modern variations. Reworking classic wasp-waisted silhouette to a strong modern aesthetic. The garments range from padded-hip coats, elegant evening gowns, strong-shouldered tops and skirts. All presented in a stunning palette of yellow, raspberry and lavender contrasted against black and white.


Artist Tane Andrews and costumier Kira Goodey formed Australian fashion label - OF CABBAGES & KINGS - back in 2005,  and have enjoyed huge success with their collections.  Drawn together by a mutual respect for fine design, architectural history and insect entomology,  Andrews + Goodey sculpted their influences into wearable inimitable pieces which are at once both vulgar and eerily beautiful.   The duo’s foray into jewellery design carried immediate success, and saw the launch of three critically acclaimed collections. Their refined and delicate interpretations of shudder-inducing insects and anatomical parts earned them exposure in Vogue Living Australia, Oyster Magazine and a host of independent publications, and awards were not far behind.  OC&K were selected as finalists for SOYA (Quantas spirit of youth awards) in 2007 and formed part of the final 18 designers chosen for Design Now!, a national competition showcasing Australia’s most promising design talent.

It seemed natural that OC&K would take their distinct design aesthetic to fashion design, and 2008 witnessed the inaugural OC&K fashion collection.  Twisting the same macabre subject matter the duo had become known for into wearable fabric pushed the label to a higher level both creatively and publicly.  Their first collection was snapped up by Perth fashion Mecca Dilettante and the duo soon took their talents to London for an internship with fashion heavy weight, the late + great Mr Alexander McQueen.

From London they weaved their magic into the Australian spring/summer collection, to be shown at 2009 Style Aid and Perth Fashion Festival.   The duo soon caught the eye of Canadian electro band Dandi Wind, who demanded a series of costumes for film clips and an upcoming tour.  Clad in OC&K garments, Dandi Wind writhed her way through Asia and into cross-continental living rooms, and in an instant OC&K went global.   The culminating point came in Dandi Wind’s appearance, resplendent in OC&K, at the American music festival South by South West, in 2008.

The success in 2009 has continued unchecked, with OC&K’s current winter collection debuting at London Alternative Fashion Week to an overwhelming response.  Poised for international recognition the ambitious young designers from WA have London Fashion Week 2010 in their sights as part of the New Generation category and are determined to make the international fashion industry sit up and take stock of the talent Australia has to offer.

founder

SAM SISAKHTI


 

With so many fashion social networks and communities fighting for our attention these days, you'd be wanting to ensure that yours provides a point of difference ... something to capture our attention for more than a few seconds ... and the more interactive, the better.

Sam Sisakhti is out to get his slice of the pie with his site - UsTrendy - providing an avenue of promotion for fashion designers, artists and models.   "For the first time people can voice their opinion and decide what fashion a fashion company produces (designers post, users vote, UsTrendy produces top rated designs.)  A truly Democratic concept."



This unique concept provides its audience with the opportunity to purchase great independent fashion and art from its global database of thousands. 


Initially born out of the frustrations of a friend struggling to make it in the cut throat world of fashion, Sisakhti decided to start a company which nurtures and provides a platform for exposure to up and coming creatives wanting to their break. 

"In a short time we have grown to being one of the largest fashion and art databases with over 300,000 designs uploaded.  We are looking to do more and more promote indie fashion ..."


UsTrendy.Com


UsTrendy are providing an independent fashion designer the opportunity to feature in their own runway show at London Fashion Week.  In addition, UsTrendy have been sponsoring and supporting local Bay Area artists and fashion designers, such as Aspiring Couture.

For more information, go to UsTrendy.Com and see how easy it is to:

*Post portfolios to competitions

Wrangler 

:Spring Summer 2010:

Vegas Heat  

WRANGLER's Spring/Summer 2010 range - VEGAS HEAT - is fresh, vintage denim with the thrill of the outdoors - adrenaline and all - the bright lights and the desert - wild parties and daring races. 

Wrangler's denim history originates from 1904 when the Hudson Overall Company was founded in Greensboro, North Carolina, USA.  In 1919 the company relaunched as Blue Bell and in 1947 - with the start of a range of jeans for cowboys - it was renamed - WRANGLER - the name of a working cowboy.  (Little history lesson, guys!) 

The women's range features focus fits of the season being the regular skinny Stokes, the low skinny Molly and the low tapered Spencer.  Jackets come in denim and leather, and the bolero available in both, waist coats, tiny rolled shorts, and if it's a jumpsuit you're looking for, they have it, too.

“I wanted to capture that sense of someone on the border, crossing back and forth,”  - Wasson.

After three seasons working together on the LowLuv fine jewellery range, Pascal Mouawad and Erin Wasson are expanding on their success, introducing LowLuv Costume.

Zazo & Brull

::: FRAGIL:::

Fashion Installation

"We wander around without thinking, in the arrogant assumption that we are more than what we are. We imagine we are superheroes when we are no more than the appearance of a hard shell that can be crushed between finger and thumb. Fragility with a high degree of ignorance."

Spanish designers XAVIER ZAZO and CLARA BRULL, and their label ZAZO & BRULL present their new collection, FRAGIL,  a selection of pieces from their Autumn/Winter 10/11 Collection in which they reflect on human frailty and the fact that we are so often unaware of our condition.   This fashion installation represents the weakness of the human condition in all its aspects:

"as we move deeper inside this labyrinth of blocks that seemingly protect human forms we discover the various figures hiding within it.  Highly structured and patterned forms that may seem to be representations of more advanced beings — not of this earth, armoured — whose tough protective shell conceals and denies any hint of human weakness.   Female figures that represent not what we are but what we would like to be ..."

Damir Doma

Wows Paris with his

A/W 10-11 Collection

"But that cant be said of Domas aesthetic vision. Grey and powerful, over sized and often bloc patterned, Damir Doma created a breathtaking show at the Garage on Rue de Turenne. Many models were hooded or wore turban-esque hats and both continued the feeling of having joined a secretive following. A few Feodora hats even had an Amish touch to them. "
