Giuliano Fujiwara debuted at Milan fashion Week with a womenswear collection designed by Masataka Matsumura for autumn/winter 2010/11. The awesome collection is made of simple shapes mixed togheter with different proportions, creating unusual geometric volumes. Black and nude are the main colors, and reflect alternation of the opposite which define the whole collection: long vest vs shirt skirt, soft materials such as wool and hosiery vs big shoulders and sraight geometric lines, Eastern origami-inspired pleating vs Western design themes.

For Gareth Pugh AW10 collection nail technician Marian Newman created manicures that dripped with small chains, miniature versions of those seen on the clothes. I like!! Here is explained how she did it, if you want to try doing it yourself.

Amy Thompson is a concept led designer who seeks to explore the unknown, achieve the unexpected, challenge the existing and create the extraordinary. Her latest Plastic Analogue collection showcases sculpted silhouettes that encase the body with protective interlocking armour that fuses innovative technology, product design and fashion to a dynamic effect. Underneath the sculpted pieces, abstract body mapping patterns and computer avatars create quirky textile prints that are digitally printed onto bodywear pieces and voluminous dresses.
From 20 February to 6 June 2010, the Gemeentemuseum The Hague will present an exclusive peek into the rich history of the fascinating world of champagne, charm and Chanel.
The exhibit juxtaposes the history of haute couture with creations by today’s top couturiers. Renowned fashion houses, such as Dior, Chanel, Christian Lacroix and Jean Paul Gaultier, have loaned exclusive couture creations from their most recent collections, fresh from the runway and not on view in Holland before.
Diana Orving, the incredibly talented and self taught fashion designer from Stockholm who began to design clothes for herself and her friends in high school, gets better and better with every collection she design. Finding her influences in literature, dance and art she says that to her “clothing is about people and their stories, perhaps more than it is about fashion.” I love the way she focus more on form and the actual construction of the garments than on color, using a mainly black/nude/grey color palette. In this collection the use of her draping technique is still relevant but we see the introduction of transparency layers and geometric cuts plus a bright new electric blue. I would wear every single piece of it!

Marjan Pejoski is Macedonian born fashion designer who founded his own label in 2000 after gaining fame for dressing Björk in the infamous swan dress for the Oscar Academy Awards in 2000.
He’s design philosophy encourages pieces that stand out and continually inspire the imagination of those who both see and wear them. The garments he designs are for people that are not afraid of expressing themselves. Love the SS10 collection which, compare to the last one, is more romantic and poetic, but still challenging.
Jeans lovers go and visit the new Uniqlo mini site, dedicated to the old denim trousers. As all the other Uniqlo sites it’s beautifully designed and it’s a real pleasure to browse through it.
