LFW Felder Felder

This season's key pieces use an eisflower technoprint created from photographs of bullet studs. The print comes in ocean, grey, black and white, and salmon features in nippy and ever-collectable skater skirts and dresses, long dresses with suede bodies and more tailored pieces. Emphasis is on tailoring enabling confidence and fluid feel.

LFW Eudon Choi

For SS12, Eudon Choi reinvents classic sportswear shapes from decades past with a modernist edge. Clean linear colour blocked pieces are expertly juxtaposed with fluid elegant separates. A bold mix of double fused napa leathers, linen, technical silk and resin coated cottons sit neatly side by side on linear shaped overcoats and dresses.
Metallic embroidery adds touch of psychedelic texture teamed with boyish bombers and neat leather gym shorts. 1960's and 70's sportswear shapes inspire clean silhouettes. Elegant column dresses and volumous trousers echo a by gone era adding a youthful dimension.

NYFW 3.1 Phillip Lim

Phillip Lim's SS12 collection is an evolution of working with geometry and active wear, it concentrates on the freedom and fragility of kites. A simple form, suspended in the air held taught with a lithe spirit counterbalanced with an opposing force.
Here are some pics from the show...

NYFW Carlos Miele

Immersive Landscape was born from the idea of immersive artificial environments, which can be created by virtual reality. In a perfect imaginary world, there is perpetual sun - it is full of vivid colours in bright chemical tones.
Miele sought a dialogue between artificial and natural, modified beauty and organic, technology and life. For this season's collection, I created an artificial paradise, filled with liquid and fluid lines, sleek sculptural forms and vibrant digital prints.

NYFW Libertine

An energetic and fun show from Libertine at New York Fashion Week.



Home of the Brave

Tonight was the opening night of Dylan Egon's solo exhibition, Home of the Brave, at the Jonathan Levine Gallery, New York. The exhibition features several works comprised of assemblage, in which each object carries significance on its own, as well as in relation to other objects in the piece.
The exhibition also includes a number of mixed media sculptures and screen-printed works on panel. Themes include American values, military, fuel, corporate branding, production and consumption. Repetition, numerology, currency and measuring instruments like rulers convey concepts of value and the passage of time.
