Paula Knorr London Fashion Week FW19

Represented by SPRING London.

In order to evoke the essence of comfortable, yet sensual, dressing, Paula Knorr’s SS19 collection plays with the contrast between volume and fitted silhouettes.

Through this exploration of extremes, Knorr reveals obscured shapes, together with figure-hugging silhouettes. Body-con one-sleeved ruffled styles are set in contrast to oversized cape-like contours and fluid feminine pieces which highlight Knorr’s signature cutting techniques.

Fabrics include soft viscose crepe, light stretched cotton and shiny metallic lamé. Soft jersey gowns and light cotton tunics are fused with bold, Swarovski crystal embroidered mini-dresses and voluminous trousers. Illusion tulle is printed with glittery clouds to create translucent textures.

The colour palette combines soft pastel and crème tones with warm pink, oranges and steel blue. Transparent sequins and soft lamé fabrics are interwoven with light cottons to introduce a summery feel to the evening-focussed collection.

Multicolour Swarovski crystal banding is embroidered on draped shift dresses, creating a fringe like movement at the hem. The Swarovski crystals trace and accentuate the natural body lines, creating an illusion of movement.

Alongside ready-to-wear, Knorr has also collaborated with design duo RÄTHEL&WOLF to create statement jewellery featuring SWAROVSKI crystals in new ways; the minimal and bold language of the jewellery elevates the collection by contrasting with Knorr’s signature fluid shapes.

UNDERAGE Spring 2019: London Fashion Week

UNDERAGE London Fashion Week FW19

Represented by MAY Concepts.

Inspired by the ‘Club Kid’ era that flourished during the late 80s and early 90s, the UNDERAGE SS19 collectionis a nod to absurdity and transformation.

It celebrates a much-loved culture that is currently repeating itself within the youth psyche and makes it relevant by mixing these iconic ideals with modern casualwear.

The collection is titled ‘Lucid Dreams’ in which there is a psychedelic and vibrant undertone to each look, yet the garments have a pop sensibility. Quiet sexual images can be discovered within the prints and bold colours, they have been subtly placed there to encourage the wearers to embrace their inner desires and set themselves free.

The Lucid Dream that UNDERAGE envisions is one where members of society are prisoners to their own notions of identity and much of the collection is based on Erik Erikson’s ‘Four stages of the identity crisis’.

While distressed denim may be ubiquitous, the collection approaches the fabric in a new manner. Denim mixed with shirting and tailored fabrics, embroidery and bright colours inspires new possibilities in the distressed denim trend. With new ways of manipulating fabrics, UNDERAGE are considering if the future of fashion can enhance consumer’s liberation from identity categorisation imposed on them, by themselves.

Empowering womenswear with an androgynous feel, ‘transformation’ is an important word to UNDERAGE this season, not only because of the collection’s desire to disrupt the conventional way that women feel in clothes but also for the way that the collection deconstructs day-wear and recreates it again with an aspect of it completely reimagined.

MATERIALS

Distressed denim, traditional tailoring fabrics including wool & cotton and sportswear inspired polyester.

COLOURS

Denim blue, yellow, green, floral patterns and bursts of random vivid neon colours.

ABOUT THE BRAND AND DESIGNER

UNDERAGE is a British contemporary womenswear brand with Asian roots that plays on irony and the romanticism born from the merging of both cultures. The brand celebrates the unconventionally fearless woman while also having unisex sensibilities. While avant-garde in nature, UNDERAGE continues to move in a more commercial direction.

Ying Shen is the head designer, born in Beijing China, she initially studied graphic design and focused on multiple disciplines including: film, animation and 3D modelling, before coming to London to pursue fashion. She soon enlisted at Central Saint Martin’s School of Art & Design where she honed her various design skills into garment design and construction, whilst also gaining a specific interest in dying and printing textiles.

Maryling Spring 2019: Milan Fashion Week

Maryling Milan Fashion Week FW19

Represented by GUITAR Advertising & PR.

The heart of the Mediterranean and Greece, its most authentic land with colors and scenery that form a paradise on earth, are the inspiration for the MARYLING Spring/Summer 2019 collection.

Island Escape: the holiday lifestyle of modern goddesses chooses a sophisticated and luxurious style to interpret the mood of the collection, where elegance meets naturally unconventional femininity. The goddess has the mien of Claudia Schiffer, the German super-model and entrepreneur, and the creative approach of Catalan artist Antonio Gaudì. The synergy is immediate: a classic aesthetic is combined with the innovative drive of the architect to create an unusual and overwhelming mash-up.

 
Maryling: Milan FW19

[portfolio_slideshow id=66030 align=center width=699 click=advance thumbnailsize=40 showcaps=false]
 

The architectural imprinting on the styles – where the study of proportions, shapes and volumes is precise and accurate – is the original signature of combinations revealing a democratic luxury that does not follow trends or seasons but creates them, generating an artistic expression that becomes inspirational territory to be explored. The essence of the Catalan-inspired mystique of nature is expressed in styles for the summer season revealing the most sinuous experimentalism that is tempered by the classic side of MARYLING.

Thus, neo-modernist lightness is fully expressed in the triumph of intense, full and often bold and luminous colors: ocean blue, bright red and pale yellow trace an ideal path for a stylistic language mix full of contrasts able to reflect a strong aesthetic.

Exclusive and precious fabrics have the fragrance of vacation and capture the artistic essence, successfully blending past and present in an absolutely unique cosmopolitan lyricism.

Hardware LDN NYFW FW19

Represented by Seventh House PR.

The 80s are back and they are alive and thriving.

Strong female looks paired with trendy pieces from the past and present day were displayed at at-most precision. Designer Jessica Horwell founded the streetwear brand in 2012 with the goal of empowering woman through her collections. Based in the UK, the brand specializes in creating clothing for empowering females that have youthful perspectives on styling looks. As the brand’s first NYFW, they for sure know how to get heads to turn.

Each look was styled with punk influence and a scrunchie on top. The HW logo has never looked better with this modern view on the 80s biggest trends as well as, a bit of 90s grunge. The strong identity of the brand is reflected in the edgy styling choices. An array of velvets, sheer silk and exotic animal prints allow for easy transitional looks from a night out to every day ensembles.

All shoes brought to you by Skechers and Doc Martens allow for a nostalgic feel to these black, heavy-leather looks. The majority of the runway looks consisted of various textures and a pop of a gorgeous, contrast color. An absolute show-stealer was a light pink silk, PJ look with the model carrying an actual dog! With the crowd of fashion week goers in ‘aw’, it was by far the best accessory of them all.

Exquisite waves pop up on the designs injecting a charming sense of movement. They appear on red and blue midi denim dresses, cut in sensual fitted silhouettes and embellished with contrasting stitching, as well as on a jumpsuit featuring the denim bodice matched with bottoms crafted from a silk fabric printed with an Oriental motif. The icon romantic embellishments also enrich the printed organza used for shirts and frocks cut in generous volumes.

Seventies’ silhouettes define the maxi dresses showing plunging necks and metallic knitted bodices, while a fluid jumpsuits is splashed with a kimono-inspired pattern.

A futuristic touch is introduced with PVC, which is not only mixed with organza for the eye-catching obi belts, but is also combined with fluid jersey for chic maxi frocks punctuated by sparkling crystals.

In keeping with the collection’s signature edgy material experimentation, hyper feminine organza ankle boots reveal PVC inserts and a sleek metallic heel, while silk is combined with metallic knit on the geometric clutches.

Isabelle Donola NYFW FW19

From turmoil to awakening, the journey begins…Disruption.

Impact… apathy, the inevitable disconnection…Disruption.
Obstruction, Inertia, confusion, confrontation, …Disruption.
Brain waives… harmony… new Neuropathways…Disruption.
Perceiving, reconnecting, awakening. Disruption.
The old you, the new you…
The old World, the New World…Disruption.
The startling beauty after the storm…

Our SS 19 evokes the deep connection within and without, inviting you to find the beauty inside the storm.

Color and Texture

The different textures represent the various layers that we face in life…
Glidden hazy sage represents apathy…
Silver and metallic represent light…
Crude represents raw nature…
The red cage represents our blood vessels that represent both disruption and the power of life…

Vivetta Milan Fashion Week FW19

Represented by Purple PR.

Vivetta has created a technicolor dream for its SS19 collection, pastel tones with fairytale, visionary fantasy, infused with an eccentric and enchanting glamour, painted in delicate hues with irony and grace.

Candid swans rest on small tunics in painted inlay macramé, or on long romantic crocheted dresses; knots of blackberries in Swarovski crystals, glisten on impalpable cape dresses like clouds of degradé tulle; pretty butterflies seem to palpitate on fragile tulle bodices embroidered by hand with fringes of beads and feathers, which bloom on taffeta skirts thickly pleated as corollas of flowers grown in a fabulous greenhouse, or accompany denim trousers richly decorated with precious jewel-like embroidery.

 
Vivetta: Milan FW19

[portfolio_slideshow id=66190 align=center width=699 click=advance thumbnailsize=40 showcaps=false]
 

A pop rainbow, inspired by Peter Max’s 70s psychedelic graphics, illuminates suits in Nappa leather, inlaid with eccentrically Western flavour; wide skirts in sumptuous taffeta or dust coats with Elizabethan sleeves veiled by a puff of tulle are studded with magical galaxies of shiny stars.

Bouquets of hydrangeas bloom on mini-dresses draped in technical organza with a liquid effect, enriched with frills and rosettes, seducing in their theatrical yet simultaneously naive glamour; fanciful blooms decorate fluffy pouf skirts worn with candid poplin shirts or balloon dresses light like meringues.

This collection is an invitation to play together – says Vivetta Ponti, founder and designer of the brand – In my illusory and smiling world grace and fantasy triumph. As if a spell transfigured the reality, making it magical. A surreal short film that never fails the happy ending.

A warm, childish sense of humour lies like a breath on the striped poplin dresses in sweet macaron shades; draped tunics are created by transforming classic men’s shirts, whose sleeves become pleated skirts or whose cuffs are wrapped around necklines – as well as contrasting bows on clean poplin blouses or cut-out inlays on palazzo trousers revealing the outline of a face.

Vivetta invites us to take part in this game of illusions and smiles, in this world where grace and fantasy triumph, in a reality that, transfigured in some spell, becomes magical and surreal as in a film with a happy ending.

Luisa Beccaria Milan Fashion Week FW19

Represented by Purple PR.

A patchwork colorful garden, fusing reality and dream.

The study of fabrics and volumes searching for a new concept of 3D. The lively and spirited joy of an enchanting Spring/Summer. For SS’19, Luisa Beccaria imagines a woman who finds marvel in the smallest detail, able to draw the curtains of everyday life on a magic universe, a green oasis full of fantastic creatures.

Overlapping and lightness come out from impalpable fabrics, such as organdy, tulle, cotton with lace inserts, gauze, linen and small touches of delicate brocade. Fil coupé leads the collection, like a watercolor painting and cutting flounces, bustiers and feminine skirts, in a crescendo of textures.

 
Luisa Beccaria: Milan FW19

[portfolio_slideshow id=66282 align=center width=699 click=advance thumbnailsize=40 showcaps=false]
 

Day and night become one in a dreamlike world. Bands from a Vichy apron become a dawn intertwined with crochet for a quasi-folk midi-dress or on a long A-shape dress. The patchwork brocade, playing with both abstract and floral motifs, is seen on a double-breasted jacket suit worn with an embroidered linen shirt. The same fabric creates an outfit with shorts, crop-top and mini coat. Fil coupé organdy chases yellow, red and pink flowers or it draws geometries and diamond shaped motifs on cocktail dresses and summer capes.

Soft lines, tight waist silhouettes and transparencies are gathered by flounces and tri-dimensional embroideries with life-like flowers and butterflies. Even the more structured evening dresses are light, with overlapping multicolor underskirts creating the background for the patchwork pattern printed organdy.

The chromatic palette mixes soft and bright colors: pink hues with orange and red strokes, yellow, and aquatic colors like green, light blue, blue, periwinkle and lilac.

Headgear is a must: tiaras, veil fascinators resembling nets embodying flowers and beauty, with metallic raffia caps. Shoes: ankle-strap satin sandals with bows and ribbons, monochromatic or Vichy mules with the same details.
