Dara Senders Launches Size Inclusive Fashion Line in Paris

Dara Senders Paris Fashion Week FW19

Represented by The Riviere Agency.

Dara Senders became the first size inclusive fashion label to launch during Paris Fashion Week with its pretty in pink evening presentation showcasing sophisticated, contemporary looks on models of all colors, shapes, and sizes.

It was a pink party for all fashionistas complete with an uber Instagrammable poodle topiary named ‘Pickles.” Guests nibbled on bite sized miniature burgers and pink iced eclairs while they sipped champagne and watched the models flaunt a collection complete with everything from separates to chic cocktail dresses.

The designer created the collection focusing on manufacturing in Paris to ensure women of all shapes and sizes have access to chic and high-quality clothing. She felt there was a gap in the marketplace for size inclusive size clothing that is more than utilitarian or made cheaply, and Dara Senders made it her mission to close it. “Women of all shapes and sizes deserve gorgeous options that make them feel good and empowered” quipped Senders at the packed presentation.

Whether a size small or a 3XL, all women can feel confident that Dara Senders’ contemporary clothing pieces have been tailored to fit all women and their curves, petite or grande, short or tall. “This is not a plus size collection, but a collection to fit all women!” said the designer. Beautiful bell sleeved silhouettes and high-end embellishments and trims adorned each piece and will make wearers sassy, classy, fun, and most of all extraordinary.

Black space — flashing lights, just a handful of spotlights break through the darkness, right on Manuel Facchini’s SS19 ready-to-wear collection.

Cut outs — all over, in short dresses, biker jackets and sparkling over-knee boots ending with a thin heels, sliding smoothly through water, worn by models looking like characters from Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy.

[portfolio_slideshow id=67131 align=center width=699 click=advance thumbnailsize=40 showcaps=false]
 

A mystical and galactic vibe swallowed us when we entered today’s venue right next to the Navigli canals of Milan. Facchini, a designer who likes to create unexpected stories with high-tech materials and sartorial details, welcomed us to a breathtaking atmosphere where models stood out by cut outs – fourteen black and white, red and silver pieces completed with sharply shaped stones, probably picked up from Mars, accentuated the waist, décolleté and borders of the items. Futuristic eyeliner with black studs pierced through the bridge of the nose, the gorgeous girls were standing up proud, holding up the crowds’ gaze.

Facchini combined futuristic elements with an army look for spring: From stunning, red bomber jackets over skin-tight leather pants to biker jackets interwoven with vinyl. Futuristic, but feminine – always remaining true to himself.

If you are looking for an edgy, fearless, slightly intimidating style for the summer, Facchini’s name should be the label in the back of your dress.

The Perfect Accessories for a Vacation or Staycation

The Perfect Accessories for a Vacation or Staycation

Look Great, Whether You Stay or Vacay

As I have started to see this new nautical trend blow up on social media I keep kicking myself for getting rid of all the vacation souvenir shop jewelry from my childhood.

Who would have thought that the puka shell anklet would be one of the hottest street style trends of this season? If you think about it, I personally never want to say goodbye to a beach vacation. As our culture is evolving, people want to spend more time and money relaxing on the beach rather than working non-stop and spending as much money on clothing as they once did. Especially as people move towards this idea of owning less clothing through using Rent the Runway, Real Real or having a “uniform” they have more money to spend on vacation and statement accessories. Mix the nostalgia I have picking up a shell choker on a childhood beach vacation and my love of statement jewelry I am all over this trend that I call “the new nautical.”

[portfolio_slideshow id=66551 align=center width=699 click=advance thumbnailsize=40 showcaps=false]
 

In case you have lived under a rock this year, the woven bag trend is blowing up. Texture is a key trend this season, and a woven raffia bag and hat like these from Indego Africa elevate your old huge woven beach tote and straw hat. Look for a structured, wide brim sun hat that will pair well with a midi sundress or white tee shirt and cropped denim.

Every influencer was sporting puka shell jewelry during Copenhagen and Stockholm fashion week this month. Choked by a Thread by Lorraine Alexandra Zalta is one of my favorite brands tackling this trend. Not only is Lorraine an absolute doll, but she makes very cool jewelry. We really loved the set of sand-dollar and gold sea shell earrings worn as a match set, or mixing one shell with one sand dollar.

Izaskun Zabala Jewelry makes the best minimalist, sculptural jewelry. All of the pieces are made in Izaskun’s NY studio. I love the way that she interpreted the monster leaves into gold earrings and bracelets. Imagine wearing these gold pieces with a white lacey milk maid dress to a nice dinner or with a scarf print top to work. Either way these elevated topical pieces are perfect for the woman wanting to bring together luxury with trendy looks.

For a minimal approach look no further than Chan Luu. Chan Luu makes these gorgeous fresh water cultured pearl hoops. These earrings are perfect to layer into your everyday gold jewelry or wear one as a single statement earring.

Interview with Christian Siriano: Spring 2019 New York Fashion Week

Christian Siriano NYFW FW19

Represented by Agentry PR.

When I think fashion, I think Christian Siriano.

The Spring 2019 show was the highlight of my New York Fashion Week experience and was everything fashion should be — bold, dramatic, and captivating. The show was held at Gotham Hall with celebrity guests such as Cynthia Nixon, Whoopi Goldberg, and Carmen Electra, to name a few.

The Spring 2019 show was everything fashion should be

The Spring 2019 collection was inspired by the perfect dream holiday vacation in Hawaii. Chic and elegant island life inspired by bold tropical prints, animal-printed organza separates, textured raffia coats and jackets, and bright-citrus evening gowns.

The collection was playful, colorful, bright, and romantic, with femininity but still powerful and exciting. It has movement like a dance at a Hawaiian luau and feels fresh and young for the ever-growing Christian Siriano customer.

 
Interview with Christian Siriano

Q: How did you find your inspiration for this collection?

The goal was to take everyone on a Hawaiian holiday. I didn’t want it to be typical Hawaii with grass skirts, but still wanted to capture the essence with beautiful, elegant, and romantic designs.

[portfolio_slideshow id=63259 align=center width=699 click=advance thumbnailsize=40 showcaps=false]
 

Q: What is your favorite piece from the collection?

Oh, it’s so hard to pick a favorite. I don’t know, I love it all. They’re all my babies. Like 70 babies.

Q: What is your creative process?

It’s very random. I like a fabric, I pick a place, or like I like an idea. I do a lot of sketching and then just go right into it. I never run out of ideas, so that is helpful. I just enjoy the journey of it.

I just enjoy the journey of it.

Q: How are your collections evolving and what do you plan to change for your collections going forward?

I do many different things each season. I push myself. I try to use fabrics I’ve never worked with. I like to have fun and also show amazing different types of people on the runway.

CIVIDINI Spring 2019: Milan Fashion Week

Cividini Milan Fashion Week FW19

Represented by Guitar Advertising & PR.

Karen Blixen and Out of Africa were the inspiration for the latest collection from husband-wife design duo Miriam and Piero Cividni.

“When the movie Out of Africa came out, Miriam and I still did not think about creating CIVIDINI,” says Piero Cividni. “But taking care of fashion and creativity we did not fail to see it being impressed by the skill with which Milena Canonero managed to masterfully combine the bourgeois aesthetics of the European North of the years immediately preceding the first world war with the influences and the commingling of the colonial society in Kenya.”

“Looking for incipit for the new collection that we imagined could be exotic and at the same time metropolitan, we remembered that film and the aesthetic emotion that had caused us and from that moment everything was clear, we had created the common thread that he would have guided in his conception of development.”

 
Cividini: Milan FW19

[portfolio_slideshow id=67010 align=center width=699 click=advance thumbnailsize=40 showcaps=false]
 

Here then the conceptualization of those aesthetic sensations reinterpreted according to the codes of CIVIDINI give life to a mix between bon ton and military whose contextualization finds hospitality in the modernity and cleanliness of the design that has always distinguished CIVIDINI.

The polka dots are “smudged” so that their traditional graphicity is softened by this desired and sought imperfection while the camouflage print recreates the atmosphere that unequivocally refers to colonial Africa in the collective imagination.

Among the constants:

Leggings designed with large polka dots and squares that sneak into each look.

Lightweight turtlenecks with polka dots or hand-painted checks, woven on ultra-thin frames.

And finally, a loose pleated skirt in plaid fabrics, with polka dots, plain inlays or in printed camouflage around which the whole collection pivots; carried by itself or with overlapping prints and drawings and lastly under the over and enveloping clothes as well as with elongated and soft blazers or with the rigorous duster, closed by small snaps.

Not the aesthetic canons of that society but Karen Blixen’s way of being a woman guided us in the contemporary transposition of that distant memory.

Collina Strada Spring 2019: New York Fashion Week

Collina Strada NYFW FW19

Represented by Mode Public Relations.

The soft sounds of a gong being struck reverberated through the small Soho public school gymnasium as the Collina Strada S/S19 show was being seated.

Designer Hillary Taymour continues to present conceptual collections that reflect the current political and social nature of our world, for S/S19 she specifies that she was “reflecting on the turmoil and heartbreak that continues to emerge in our country” and created a collection “centered around a movement towards collective inner peace.”

 
Collina Strada: NYFW FW19

[portfolio_slideshow id=67054 align=center width=699 click=advance thumbnailsize=40 showcaps=false]
 

The relevance was clear given this seasons’ show is titled “Sound Bath.” Young children marched out at the start of the show taking their seats in a semi-circle of singing bowls in the middle of the presentation area.

As models walked out there was a clear message of spiritual journey, the kind taken on pilgrimage, with the silhouette of prayer beads painted on some model’s chests as if sunburnt in place intertwined with a color palette symbolized by all seven chakras. The first look rooted the collection with a white satin button down worn tied and falling back with a matching midi skirt.

Taymour’s use of organza continues from previous collections, here we see it in menswear button up shirts and flowy layering pieces. Tie dye bodysuits and dresses were paired with faux cow hide trenches and skirts giving off an aptly timed Burning Man festival-wear vibe. Elsewhere, biker shorts and hoodies pulled in the streetwear aesthetic that so proliferates the current influencer fashion obsession.

Conceptual fashion is sometimes hard to place in reality but Taymour’s take on visual messaging through fabric and color, combined with wearable pieces, provide believable wardrobe additions to her curated clientele.

Reveal Project Paris Fashion Week FW19

Represented by Totem Fashion.

REVEAL PROJECT was started by TATRAS designer Masanaka Sakao, who wanted to build upon his experience as a designer to pass on Japan’s history and tradition.

With REVEAL PROJECT he created an unprecedented brand concept that maximizes the value of Japanese culture from a creative perspective, aiming to position Japan’s unique techniques and tradition as a standard in the worldwide fashion industry.

 
Reveal Project: Paris FW19

[portfolio_slideshow id=66983 align=center width=699 click=advance thumbnailsize=40 showcaps=false]
 

Creating a true Kyo-Yuzen design and embellishment involves more than fourteen manufacturing processes including conceptualization, rough drawing, masking, brush dyeing and illustrations. Each of these steps are performed separately by artisans, who are skilled and specialized in each particular process. All of these artisans are based in Kyoto, in Kyo-Yuzen’s “Kyo”, which means the city of Kyoto.

The first collection came to fruition through the support of KIMURA SENSHOW, a renowned hand drawn Kyo-Yuzen kimono producer, who is based in Kyoto. The results were 7 silk jackets with hand drawn Kyo-Yuzen design, which mark REVEAL PROJECT’S first collection. The bomber jackets are all made of the purest Japanese silk and each garment displays its very own Kyo-Yuzen design. After the first presentation in Paris, on February 27th at the American Cathedral, an unveiling show in Japan was held in Kyoto Nijo Castle.

This new Spring-Summer collection displays ten spring coats, which will also deliver the traditional Japanese artisanship on a larger and bolder modern garment to the now, making the viewer and observer aware of the prestigious craftsmanship and the boldness of Japanese traditional design. This will be the real fusion of Japanese tradition and modern fashion.
