Black Sun and 400 pleats


NICOLAS ANDREAS TARALIS
Spring Summer 2011

The black Sun worshiping tribes of long forgotten times
The 400 pleats of the silk
The 1000 holes in leather
The dark subcultures of the last Europa kiss

Fashion In Motion - Act Da Fool by Harmony Korine for Proenza Schouler


Following the rise of video as a complement to the still images of lookbooks, campaigns and editorial usually produced by fashion designers, New York's Proenza Schouler asked Harmony Korine to shoot a short film on their Fall Winter 2010-11 collection, giving him the clothes and a picture by Christopher Wool as reference. Korine took this back to Nashville, where he lives, and filmed the collection on a gang of hardcore delinquent black girls he used to hang out with, resulting is Act Da Fool.

More and more respected film directors get into fashion films (Lynch, Anger, etc...), and this bring the question of fashion in films, does it really work ? We've seen plenty of photographer trying to turn pictures into film with various results but it is mostly disastrous in fact. On the contrary, directors manage the image / movement but the result of their fashion films is often diminished by the lact of actor or simply the absence of story to tell. The song says video killed the radio star, now the question is : who killed the video stars ?

"This Little Bird" - Charles Anastase Precollection Spring Summer 2011



"There's a little bird that somebody sends
Down to the earth to live on the wind.
Born on the wind and he sleeps on the wind
This little bird that somebody sends.

He's light and fragile and feathered sky blue,
So thin and graceful the sun shines through.
This little bird who lives on the wind,
This little bird that somebody sends.

He flies so high up in the sky
Out of reach of human eye.
And the only time that he touches the ground
Is when that little bird
Is when that little bird
Is when that little bird dies"

A Closer Look at Christian Wijnants Fall 10







This is definitely one of my favorite collection for Fall Winter 10-11, and it seems like I'm not the only one in that case, many women around are impatiently waiting for Wijnants little printed dress or velvet capes to hit the stores, and most buyers are aware of this, putting Christian Wijnants up to another level in the industry.

Pink Moon - Calla Fall 10

Canadian born Calla Haynes launch Calla, a relaxed luxury label with strong print designs, for last Spring Summer 10 collections. For Fall 10 the prints, foundation of all Calla collections, came from textures found in abstract paintings, landscapes and more specifically from photographs of Flamingo feathers used on silk chiffon, stretch cotton, twills and jerseys for a series of bustier dresses, geometrical tops and skirts. The pale color palette keeps the collection in the continuity of Haynes work for the past season and even beyond when collaborating with Theyskens for the likes of Rochas or Ricci, a modern nostalgic look, a young cold beauty, body conscious but not constraining, a little lolita but never just cute and naive, a collection of charming contrasts.
