Obscur - "DISCIPLINE" - S/S 2013

Obscur- once again with great collection. The materials they mainly used for this collection are experimental paper-cottons, linen and cotton mixes, thin and airy horse leather skins and pure silver.

"Manipulated forms of altered human bodies foreshadows the lines of discipline. Skilled medical devices used to correct these deformations act as a balance between sterile material and the natural progression of time.
Wrapped bandages in organic shapes co-exist with metallic elements in order to dress the body while keeping it within an articulated form. Over-treated materials embody the wear of garment's over time while sleek textiles restrain the body whilst representing the pillar of modern day society."

InAisce - "Columna Cerului" collection - S/S 2013

Once more I stayed speechless when I seen InAisce upcoming collection for S/S 2013. With minimal palette that contains gray and black and edgy cuts and fits, it is obvious that Jona is in connection with spirit of east. Therefore his collection "Columna Cerului" is focused on research of inner soul.

AREA di Barbara Bologna - "Genesis" collection - S/S 2013 (wmn - part 1)

"I saw this vision, clearly... I saw a man and a woman in my mind... I look... and suddenly walking towards me... as if they were going toward something that I can not even see... I see them in the dust. See their dust... a black mark on his forehead.. blue lanses in their eyes... Untouchable as a knife blade. I hear a noise... I see their lips move... I understand only a constant hiss... and nothing 'else."
Genesis, the vision of something that is coming, we do not know anything, we are attracted unconsciously, we fear, because we are not able to decipher, failing to establish a common communication that allows us to understand.
Genesis, a new beginning.
