A soaring fashion talent like no other, Francesca Liberatore graduates at Central Saint Martins in London and professionally paves her way through the likes of Viktor & Rolf, Jean Paul Gaultier and Brioni.
After establishing her eponymous brand in London and Rome, in 2009 Liberatore wins the Next Generation contest held by Camera Nazionale della Moda Italiana. After showcasing her collections in a myriad of renowned locations; Museo della Permanente in Milan, Edieuropa in Rome, Soho Factory in Warsaw just to name a few, as world-winner of the DHL Exported Award the designer was given the chance to grace the catwalks of the Mercedes Benz Fashion Week of New York with her SS15 collection.

Spring / Summer 2015 Collection preview

The starting point of the Francesca Liberatore SS15 is the image of a bird whose womb contains fragments of plastic of a polluted world, fragments that collide and combine with each other to create a new, unexpected fashion journey.

With the support of Punto Seta, pieces of the collection showcase overlapping bird prints that create playful geometric shapes. The simplicity of triangles and squares opposes the sophisticated and elaborate tailoring techniques used, revealing a 70s silhouette of retro and Far West elements.

Ruches meet and complement soft suede leathers, silk jersey and thick cotton weaves in a colour palette that travels from light pink to hues of baby blue, and which contrasts the rust and olive palette of the first-time round Francesca Liberatore menswear designs.

The Francesca Liberatore woman reflects, hopes, analyses and reads reality underlining its frivolous, dreamlike components. A bride on a winged horse with the power and skill to steal the magic of dreams away and bring the observer back to where it all began, accompanied by the unreleased soundtrack of Ermal Meta for a truly superb atmosphere.

Spring / Summer 2015 Collection Preview

Fashion newbie, Ivories, is at its second collection but the brand philosophy remains unchanged: “no season” garments that can live all year round. The brand’s evolution lies in items that have the power to catch the eye as well as win the title of maximum wearability and versatility.

Defined volumes soften and dress up the Ivories woman in fluid shapes, mixing knitwear with fabric and bias cuts to produce feminine silhouettes that are never excessive. Clean, elegant lines go hand in hand with silk and cotton for a casual attire inspired by the worlds of sportswear and denim.

A high injection of allure is given by top quality raw materials such as indigo linen as well as by knitted trim inserts, grosgrain ribbons and small precious details that marry silk items and luxury mercerised cotton jumpers. Upbeat jersey t-shirts enriched by the key themes of the collection recall American graphic art, whilst more references to contemporary art persist in the cotton jacquards creations.

With a strong street style influence, the SS15 Ivories collection exhibits an orchestra of overlapping and contrasting effects: flowing yet structured volumes, geometric and flowered prints and textile designs, sporty and couture materials and finishes such as the ones found in the heavy cotton jersey enhanced by feather applications.

The colours too create contrasting ensembles with neutral natural tints and whites meeting the trademark blues of the brand, and strawberry shades with brilliant greens exposing patches of orange pink.

A surface yearning to be explored, creased by an impetous cascade of varnish, seemingly and effortlessly lacquering everything like nail polish, like lipstick. The powerful essence of fuchsia fills one’s eyes. The paths engraved by rigorous folds, stimulate the touch. Geometry and divine proportions, inspire a scent of sugar.

Crafting an inspiring handmade project, the author and the young designer match together unexpected irony with the typical shapes of Azzurra Gronchi designs. The exclusive leather manufacturing is treated to be completely resistant and represents the taste of craftsmanship, while the lively eye-catching graphics express Alessandro Enriquez’s own vision of an Italian Theory: a shower of lucky charms, ladybirds, four-leafed clovers, horseshoes and sacred hearts. So

The capsule collection of these 50 limited edition pieces can be found in a small selection of prestigious Italian stores, but “Desiderio”, “Burlesque”, “Doris”, “Ginny” and “Design Bag” are just a quick preview of what’s to come in the S/S2014 collection.

& An Italian Theory appeared first on Fashtags.

In the first S/S 2013 man capsule collection named “Roots”, and in the woman capsule named “Flos”, attractive and bold fruit and vegetable prints oppose crisp and dynamic flowers. Jersey fabrics and fluid satin silhouttes show-off essential cuts and clear lines, and depict refined prints of totem subjects.

It’s through the use of modern digital printing techniques on textiles, that these unusual compositions are expressed to the fullest. Using a variety of nature inspirations, fruits and vegetables, the photographic talent Carolina, freezes surreal and enticing images on a black background and leads the mind back to the Italian Renaissance painter Giuseppe Arcimboldo renown for the creation of human subjects composed entirely of fruits, vegetables, fish, birds or even books.

Tothem’s F/W 2013-14 woman collection; “Shiny”, represents a world of innate beauty told through the photographic concept of the Totem Bijoux: amazing decorations inspired by the material essence of gold, coral and crystal. Street style meets sensuality in an intense experience of graphic interactions for all women who wish to wear precious and contemporary fashion.

The male collection “Dub” instead, presents yet another fresh and modern approach to visual identity: bone, wood and plexiglass mould into geometric textures with a slightly vintage taste and bears robotic-hypnotic inspirations, space diamonds and 3D spider photographic prints.

Emotionally involving its observers, Tothem offers the chance to be a part of the select “fashion experts” who are able to understand and wear genuine works of art with a real artistic sensibility.

A career of important collaborations with the fashion houses of Dolce & Gabbana, Salvatore Ferragamo and Costume National, has enabled this fashion talent to develop innovative and demanding products for fashion-conscious women who are born with the desire to express themselves.

The collections are conceived with a variety of precious leathers and undergo complex manufacturing processes to reach the state of finished creations. The avant-garde printed leather styles define the brand identity of Azzurra Gronchi as “fun and original”; an extraordinary mix of materials and a color-oriented research that combine in an unconventional yet precious idea.

The characteristic little eye mask delivered in the iconic Burlesque style, is proposed as an intriguing detail on small leather goods. Patents, suedes, calfs and a variety of printed leathers, add a touch of freshness and a sip of retro to the whole recipe. Azzurra Gronchi is a strong and colorful fashion statement that doesn’t look to the past and that’s “not afraid to take risks”.
