MOVRIN´S TRIPLET




When you read about Peter Movrin, most of journalists like to “copy-paste” the Lady Gaga thing, Anna Wintour`s non-indifference and the last add on a long-list of this young and really talented designer, the costume collaboration for the “Hunger years-Mockingjay, part two” movie, instead of being focused and consequently to elevate his enormous talent. His force and the best recommendation are and I truly believe, would always be his designs; every time Movrin showcase his new work, you never know what you can expect and you will always be surprised, in a really positive way. A true inspiration. He reconfirmed that during the Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Ljubljana. Although his S/S 2016 collection is “limited” to only six looks, they have enough power, charisma and story behind to overshadow even many of biggest fashion houses in the world. As with Helmut Newton, by whose work this collection was inspired, is Movrin´s woman also wrapped-uncovered with a primordial eroticism. Black-minimal nineties with loads of low-necklines, silkiness and with a masculine element in the centre, a smoking jacket, is a core of this assemblage. I got heart-eyes for the men´s-like bold-striped pyjama silk pants paired with a trench-robe and for two smoking jackets; one with deconstructed-silk stripes and the one with prolonged and in-between see-through sleeves. The saying that the imagination has no limits is more than plausible when interlaced with creativity and innovativeness. And a true talent as Peter Movrin proves that.

I DON´T LIKE TO SEE MYSELF AS A FASHION DESIGNER, BECAUSE I DON´T FOLLOW FASHION





I actually don´t know well Aleksandra, but after few rare occasions talking to her one on one and by talking I mean just some lines, I got that impact and feeling like knowing her for ages. And believe me, this interview only confirms me this. “How is this possible”, are you probably asking now? Passing years and getting older, you´ve become “filled” with experiences that life brings and all of them help you, especially when it comes to perception of new people you meet through your life journey. What sort of it I got about her? As an honest, straightforward, open, creative, spontaneous and buddy-type of a person with that sparkle “joire de vivre” in the eyes that only children have. But there´s much, much more, that I discovered throughout this interview. The one that was like writing a book, she said at the end. And sure it was. Intense and funny, due the fact she had a smile on her face even when the talk turned into more “serious” theme. Her “in the first second impact” boyish-like look is a second later "thrown" in the shadow by her very maternal and sensitive side, regardless the fact that she is a mother of three kids.  The time right after the birth of each of them, made her to change work-directions and to experience new shades of design and creativity. After all she is not a “long-distance” (future) plans believer, but she prefers to excel oneself in the current, present ones and then to get that surprise-part of the future.  This is also her brand aleksandrabrlan; unpredictable, spontaneous, comfortable and honest.

LU GEDIGTE PERLAOPIS



About two weeks ago I posted the first official image from Peter Movrin´s MA degree collection "Lu Gedigte Perlaopis"...and also promised you to reveal the whole set; the-day comes today and you can see all images photographed by Maya Nightingale. 

"Collection's basic premise is that clothing should be regarded as adornment for body, as precious as jewelry, thus transcending the norms of fast and furious ready-to-wear. A quintessential bourgeois artefact, a pearl necklace, can produce an effect much alike that of a body mutilation, a scar, that most intimate adornment of them all. While researching the Ethiopian tribes' practice of body scarification or decoration the polished sculptures of Constantin Brâncuși kept popping up. The result is a very tactile monochromatic collection, where through manipulation and deformation garments become hidden jewelry pieces. With the final look pearls diffuse into an exotic print as a shout out to the wilderness, to the lost paradise and to painter Emil Nodol. It's an invitation to celebrate." - the official statement of the collection.

“Bijoux never leaves you cold. You always have an emotional response to a piece of jewelry, it carries so much family heritage, and when you have the honor to receive it you are in some way initiated into a society. I believe the same reaction should be expected of garments.” - Peter Movrin

The collection itself proves the versatility of Peter as a designer, combining daily wear elements with haute couture details. My favourite petermovrin collection so far and the one that include the outfit (the main photo and the first one) that I easily see myself to get marry with it.

PETER MOVRIN: THE QUESTION IS NOT WHERE, BUT WHEN "?"



After the video, i am very happy to show you all photos from Peter Movrin´s "?" collection. The designer would like that any person is "in charge" to experience on it´s own way the whole collection.

WINTER GARDEN // OLGAFACESROK















BIO

Košica has a masters degree at the Royal College of Art in London, while Marinšek  completed visual communication studies at the Academy of Fine Arts and Design. Their work takes inspiration from contemporary art, sculpture, painting, street art motifs to the metropolis and nature.
Their jewellery makes use of a variety of materials from acrylic glass to metal and ceramics - combining multiple materials and techniques. In their most recent projects they have explored new technologies, in particular 3D printing. 
























WINTER GARDEN

Winter Garden Project was designed for presentation at the AW13 Paris Fashion Week as part of a collaboration with China based fashion designer MashaMa. Ma - who had stints at Alexander McQueen and Veronique Branquinho during her studies at Central Saint Martin’s - presented her graduation show at London Fashion Week where it was snapped up by fashionable select store - B store. She is known for her feminine, modern and elegant silhouettes, a use of rich materials and the colour white. Ma invited the Slovenian design duo to participate in the presentation of her new Autumn-Winter 2013 collection at her fashion show in Paris.

Below Masha F/W 2013/2014 runway video and some image stills.









































PRODUCT

Inspired by the poetry of Pablo Neruda (Winter Garden), earrings in the form of organic, realistic flower motifs were frozen in the ice. Elements such as icy roses, snow drops, twigs and leafs were connected to create a flowing earring. Produced using the relatively untapped resource of 3-D printing, the lightweight material (polyamide) means earrings hang effortlessly, mapping natural shadows across the face.

Jewellery was crafted by 3D printing on a Pro60 machine with the technique of   selective laser sintering, in collaboration with Ortotip. The material used is polyamide powder. The process ensures the production of functional product with high mechanical and thermal resistance, without losing any of the beauty of the design.


PETJA ZOREC // "2205985500000" / F/W 2013/2014




















Petja not long ago described herself to Katja Horvat (Projekt 27) as an workaholic wo(man) with male Russian name, who is always ready for action. After knowing her in person i would add a strong personality with no double meanings, sincere, always positive and simple; she is one of few (sadly not that much) designers i adore in Slovenija and make a fashion (yes, i will use this word in this case) trip to Ljubljana more than a valuable reason.

At the beginning of this month (exactly 09 of April) during Phillips Fashion Week in Ljubljana (it was from 08 to 10 of April at Kino Šiška), she presented her last collection; a F/W 2013/2014 collection named "2205985500000".



























































"Starting point for the collection is the moment, when emotions overcome you; memories of the past about people, that you liked them. Memories of most unusual events that from unknown reasons always return in front of your eyes. Like the family portrait or the plaid which plush edge calmed you down before sleep, dishcloth on edge of a dining table, rests of yarns in the grandparents knitting room,...a moment, that doesn't have the connection with reality, but however it comes on plan next to certain trigger and it numbs us."

MOODBOARD






























"This male collection marks tactile and arty prominent materials, that work softly and comfortably. Patterns are contrasting to themselves in silhouettes, because on one side they are showing rigorous men pieces and on the other playfulness of oversize sweaters and tracksuits. Yarn in the color of a fuchsia is as an accent showing the tender side of masculine gender. The collection is based on an emotionally mature male, who successfully combines the responsible side and the inner child part." - this is how described Petja the collection to me.
