After weeks of rumours and speculations, it´s now official and confirmed by the fashion house last Friday: "Balenciaga and Alexander Wang announce their joint decision not to renew their contract beyond its initial term. Since 2012, Alexander Wang has stood at the creative helm of the maison and has been instrumental in the pursuit of its development. With his proven talent and his irreverent, modern vision of design, Alexander Wang has brought a new impetus to the brand. Balenciaga and Kering would like to thank Alexander Wang for his accomplishments and wish him the very best with his eponymous brand as well as all his future endeavours."
Alexander Wang added: "It’s been an incredible experience to work with a couture house in Paris. I am honoured to have had the opportunity to work for this historical maison. I would like to thank the brilliant team at Balenciaga for their collaboration and for what we have accomplished together, and I am looking forward to taking my own brand to its next level of growth."As expected, the s/s 2016 Balenciaga collection, which is set to be shown on Oct. 2 during Paris Fashion Week, will be his last collection for the brand. A new creative director will be announced "in due course."

THE MESSENGER
The brightest star from the Copenhagen fashion week is always (for me) Henrik Vibskov. His approach to every collection and its presentation is far beyond from the classic one. Each of his presentations delivers a new message, statement and reflection, that he would like to share and (probably) makes us to think (more). This time was about society´s obsession with all weird procedures. There were undulating rubber gloves-hands in the center of the stage, while models walked around with typical Vibskov garments, like super-slouchy pants, tailored jackets and coats, tunic-length shirts and of course near-psychedelic patterns.

The vibrant and playful world of Maikel Tawadros S/S 2015 leaves no doubt that though the American Baseball season has started. And whether you are a fanatic fan or just a silent observer, to be dressed in elegant, raw and classic sportswear, is fully possible.
Copenhagen based women’s wear designer Maikel Tawadros stated this when showing a collection worthy of a winner, literally, during Copenhagen Fashion Week. This was his second fashion show, since he started his label in 2012, after working for several Danish designers. For this collection the designer was inspired by the 1930`s baseball uniforms is elegantly designed in a clean, sporty and structured line. Maikel dears taking the extra step to make the sweat shorts and college t-shirts more fashionable in statement of details and spectacular accessories. Fabrics, such as wool, leather and fur, all mixed with finer carefully selected fabrics.
While all models were walking down the arena, dressed in the minimal colours of violet, white and black, you can feel the grounded touch of a creative mind. All addressed with their team head letters, MT, showing that Maikel is loyal to his avant-garde heritage, but flirt with the idea of asymmetrical edges, Scandinavian minimalism, yet a playful exploration into modern day society. He spears no details when he use all the necessary sports gear, as helmets, wrist, bicep, head and sports bands, consciously selected and made in collaboration with Saga Furs and jewellery designer Zarah Voigt, showing that Maikel Tawadros comprehend the coherent work worthy of a rising designer .

That lace becomes a part of a daily wear is
nothing new...combined here with sneakers, to calm down a little the luxury
(sometimes old-ery) effect and to make it more urban.
On what I would like you to pay attention
for the upcoming season is "the sweater"; yes, I think that this
piece of wardrobe will take the main spot. More about to come soon.
COPENHAGEN FASHION WEEK F/W 2014/2015
Is not strange why Scandinavian designers
are always into warm and functional garments for their fall/winter collections;
just think (if you didn´t get a chance to feel it yet) about their (very)
chilly climate and you will be happy of their decision.
And what is always the alpha and omega
garment of f/w collections? The coat. We saw loads of gorgeous ones during Copenhagen Fashion Week (28.01-02.02), from
Designer Remix, Ganni to Stine Goya and By Marlene Birger. News from the last
two? Stine after few seasons returned to Copenhagen fashion week. By Marlene
Birger is “orphan” of brands founder after she left last season, but the
seventies-inspired style trademark of the brand remained the same; actually
Christina Exsteen, the new designer, gave to the brand an injection of a youth.
The avant-garde part of the fashion week was represented properly by
collections from Barbara I Gongini, Chinese New Year and Teko (Design and
Business Academy). I didn´t mentioned and posted any photo of the collection from certain
designers, like Anne-Sofie Madsen, Henrik Vibskov, Freya Dalsø and Asger Juel
Larsen. I didn´t do it on purpose; the reason is that their collection deserves
to be presented in individual posts. That´s what will happen in few posts this
month. Until then, enjoy my selection of
Copenhagens crème-de la-crème.

FREYA DALSJØ S/S 2014
Trained at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts
in Antwerp, the Danish designer returned to Copenhagen to present her fourth collection
during Copenhagen Fashion Week S/S 2014.
This collection is a start of something
different; from strong avant-garde shapes and all combination with leather and neoprene,
she passed now to something more fluid, delicate with an architectural edge,
but still remaining inspired by the sportswear shape. Strong contrasts remain
her force, like here combining silk and mesh with accents of brightly dyed
springbok fur.

SCANDINAVIANS KNOW HOW TO DO IT
Fashion shows are nice, but the point of the clothes is to be seen on the streets (street style)…the way how each person combines in a personal way a possible garment. You can see the same garment worn by different people in different ways and styling. Make it individual and play with fashion, that´s the main reason, the ultimate point.
And the best combos, for my opinion, came from Paris and Scandinavian big cities (Stockholm and Copenhagen). Scandinavian aesthetic is even closer to mine; they combine perfectly the elegant and the sporty, but they never get you a feeling that the outfit is overdone or in tactfulness way prepared one day before. It´s more like in a French manner of doing – as they woke up five minutes before they have to leave the apartment. A nonchalance thing. I simply LOVE their style, because Scandinavians are fashion, they make new, personal, own trends and never become fashion victims. They know how to do it!

BARBARA I GONGINI S/S 2014
BARBARA I GONGINI SS14 woman researches multi-lateral ways to explore utility garments, by embracing a connection between avant-garde aesthetics and personal sartorial interaction. The central thought of this collection is collecting garments by merging styles and allowing for functional reflections on silhouettes and tailoring.
Conceptual, yet composed, garments are fit for combined layering or appear detachable for more deconstructed shapes. The highly interactive collection challenges wearers to play with textures, shapes and volumes. Dry cotton jersey, light silks, translucent gauze, fine leather coated cotton knits, 3d surfaced rendered linens and tulles, are fitted into a symphony of monochrome individuality.
In the other hand Barbara´s man is playful, yet pensive and composed, SS14 MAN challenges modern sartorial standards, by providing optional interchangeability and by inviting wearers to explore their silhouettes allegorically.
The collection is defined by combinations, dimensional variations, textural explorations and componential silhouettes.
Asymmetry, multi layering and long silhouettes are juxtaposed opposite sleeker fluid basics, allowing for individual wardrobe decisions. Each look can be deconstructed, or layers can be added on, as garment components seamlessly complementing each other. An array of fitted coats, shorts, lush leggings, elongated shirts and constructed oversized vests, are transitioned into full silhouettes, by the introduction of directional accessories.
Barbara´s trademark aesthetic, a mix of Nordic avant-garde with nice shaped daywear must have basics, is evolving into a very solid brand. A brand with the feeling that has a great heritage behind it.

POST HUMAN SPEED
About a week ago Copenhagen Fashion Week
offered to us some brilliant collections. By brilliant I mean inspiring,
something above the other, magical. One
of those or let´s put in this way: my favorite one is from Anne Sofie Madsen.
She is really known by a great combination
of futuristic-warriors elements combined with streetwear basics. Anne Sofie´s girl, why not, woman too for the next
spring/summer is inspired by (hell yeah) three boys: Kaspar Hauser,a German youth who claimed to have grown up in
the total isolation of a darkened cell, Rubber
Johnny, a six-minute experimental short film and music video directed by Chris Cunningham in 2005 about a boy with the ability to contort his body into
unnatural positionsin and by Inochi, a young
robot boy pawned from the mind of artist Takashi Murakami. The result of analyzing the identity and the background of these three boys, what
they did and the human body, is a collection fulfilled with disproportional
elements mixed with the motocross contestant´s “uniform”, like bulky tops, mesh
tops and ample trousers.

THE BATHTUB OBSERVER
After presenting the menswear collectionduring Paris Fashion week past July, Henrik Vibskov was one of few designers that yesterday opened the Copenhagen Fashion Week. The Danish designer (for me it sounds reductive to say just that, so I would prefer artist) re-presented the same menswear pieces that we already saw in Paris, but with adding to this collection, that he named "Bathtub Observer", also the woman’s collection.
He perfectly combines the intelligent design with the artistic multi-talent vision. The collection is very easy going and composed with functional garments, but on the other side, with a great sense of eclecticism in the pattern and accessories part. We saw cubistic motives on knits, pants and tops or herringbone patterns and we could not forget of three-dimensional black stunning showpieces, brogues with wooden heels and of course the ponytails under wool hats.
Overall the collection is very smart and unique...very Henrik Vibskov.
