Ann Demeulemeester - A/W 2013-14 - Menswear - PFW

Whole stage in white with white floaty curtains, yes, so unusual for Demeulemeester. For sure it gave nice, light contrast and focus on her presentation of collection for A/W 2013-14. Designer remained loyal to her black and white palette. For this collection Ann combines Gothic romanticism and dandy style to which she added a bit of punk, giving herself freedom to shape it strict and bordering with monastic look. As a final touch was voice of Nick Cave and his new song "O Children" in the background of her PFW show.

InAisce - "Seeking Aether" collection - A/W 2013-14

By presenting new collection, InAisce is taking us on one spiritual journey.  Mixing worlds of ancient past and distant future. As before and also for this season Jona continues to display his talent for bold silhouettes and rich textures, which are tailored brilliantly from diverse materials. Although the line is fundamentally menswear, the garments transition fluently into a unisex capacity, conveying both masculine stoicism and feminine elegance. Jona explains "The Fall/Winter 2013-14 Collection, Seeking Aether, explores the sense of exile felt by the human heart. It is a study of the quest for belonging and purpose despite the fog of mystery shrouding over our origins, and an expression of hope for eventual homecoming... The collection is represented in the lookbook by Ger Duany, a South Sudanese refugee whose own journey of exile from--and return to--his homeland is a tangible illustration of the larger theme."
