Chanel Spring 2012 Campaign by Karl Lagerfeld 

From C-Head Magazine

Truly stunning! Karl Lagerfeld photographed the black and white 2012 Chanel Spring collectionfeaturing the two belles Joan Smalls and Saskia de Brauw. And after the already too magic Chanel Pre-Fall 2012 Paris Bombay Show he managed to surpass himself. What a beautiful created scenes. I like the “above water images” most – you can get lost in them. By the way – the Styling is by Carine Roitfeld and hair by Sam Mcknight.

Louis vuitton fall 2012 gorgeous ready-to-wear collection

From Style.com | PARIS, March 7, 2012 | By Nicole Phelps

How do you follow up a merry-go-round? If you're Marc Jacobs at Louis Vuitton, you get your people to build an old-fashioned train car. From scratch. The steam engine it was attached to pulled into the Cour Carrée a few minutes after ten this morning. One by one, Jacobs' models de-boarded wearing outfits straight out of the golden age of railroading, followed by porters carrying as many as three bags per girl. The news on the bag front this season is their oversize proportions and exotic fabrications. "It's just a trip," Jacobs said afterward, but you could tell even he was chuffed by the grand spectacle of it all.

Longtimers in the crowd remembered a John Galliano couture show for Dior, the one where a train stuffed with supermodels steamed its way into Paris' Gare d'Austerlitz. The more interesting echo today was with Miuccia Prada's show in Milan, where she too put skirts, dresses, and coat-dresses—likewise embellished with enormous crystals—over cropped pants and platform pumps. Here, as there, the elongated silhouette created by all that layering was quite strong—Stephen Jones' squashed hats added a good six inches of height.

Even if the look didn't strike you as a modern proposal, there was plenty to marvel at, from the kangaroo leather swatches patchworked together into a checkerboard of matte and shine to the kaleidoscopic application of holographic baubles on brocade. Only a house with the high-techiest technologies at its disposal could pull off that kind of embroidery.

During a post-show interview conducted on board the train, Jacobs said he was interested in "things looking like they were from another time." The exhibition Louis Vuitton—Marc Jacobs, opening at Les Arts Décoratifs tonight, which tells the tale of the two men's contributions to the megabrand, clearly had Jacobs thinking about the company's nineteenth-century origins and travel heritage—and how to make the synergistic most of them.

Take a look at the fashion show:

SURREAL PLANES

ANOTHER WONDERFULL EDITORIAL SHOWCASING MARY KATRANTZOU, BY E.M.H.

FROM A MAGAZINE: Photographs by Erik Madigan Heck, showcasing the vivid printed designs of Greek designer Mary Katrantzou‘s Fall Winter 2011 collection. Styling by Heidi Bivens, model is Janice Alida and set design by Shaun Kato Samuel for A Magazine.

In conjunction with Nomenus Quarterly, A MAGAZINE is proud to present this exclusive series of images by NY-based photographer Erik Madigan Heck, showcasing the vivid printed designs of Greek designer Mary Katrantzou‘s Fall Winter 2011 collection.

nspired by the late interior paintings of the 19th century French painters Pierre Bonnardand Edouard Vuillard, Heck has pushed his dream-like aesthetic into new territory, blurring the lines between fashion photography and fine art. Combining Katrantzou’s dazzling architectural demi-couture with (equally decadent) customised sets, Erik achieves a piercing chromatic effect.

Reflecting upon the images, Heck stated “It signifies a different direction in my own work, where I am trying to flatten the space between photography and illustration, by eliminating photographic elements and painting on different surfaces and colors in post-production, attempting to move closer towards painting itself, in process and form.”

Sosiesosie : une marque à surveiller

La blogueuse mode Virgine Pichet  souligne le talent et l'audace de la nouvelle ligne Sosiesosie! 

Wednesday, June 6th, 2012 par Virginie Pichet

J’adore la mode québécoise. J’adore la Grande braderie de la mode québécoise. Cette année, je l’ai ratée, je n’ai donc pas pu découvrir les créations de la nouvelle marque 100% montréalaise nommée Sosiesosie. C’est une de mes amies qui m’en a parlé et, après avoir traqué la marque sur internet, j’ai décidé de vous la présenter à mon tour, pour plusieurs raisons : 1- les morceaux que j’ai vus sont beaux, classiques, indémodables (I like). 2- tout est fait au Québec : tant le design que la couture. 3- sans être cheap, les prix sont quand même accessibles.

Parce que le jaune moutarde est l’une de mes couleurs fétiches de l’été et que j’adore le concept de cette photo :

Parce que c’est le look que j’adopterais si je travaillais dans un bureau qui nécessite une tenue professionnelle (plusMadame que les jeans que je porte tous les jours)

(Photo : SosieSosie)

La marque commence à s’installer dans certaines boutiques montréalaises : Unicorn Boutique, Quartier Mode, Le Magasin général Bruxe. Je croise les doigts pour que de nouvelles photos fassent leur apparition sous peu sur la page Facebook. Sinon, vous pouvez jeter un coup d’oeil au compte Twitter de la designer, Julie Boileau!

Citation:

« Pour une sociologie du vêtement » (sur un livre de F. Kiener). Annales, mars-avril 1960, p. 2

Dire, par exemple, qu'on choisit un vêtement court parce qu'il est pratique, n'a d'intérêt que si l'on soumet la notion même du pratique à une analyse historique et idéologique qui en manifeste la relativité : car ce qui nous intéresse, ce n'est pas la diversité des vêtements, c'est la relativité des valeurs qu'ils signifient.

The Nevertheless Magazine 'Innocentia' Editorials

Shot by Atelier Olschinsky, a photographer based in Vienna, Austria, the Nevertheless Magazine Innocentia photo spread showcases the fashion designs of Susanne Bisovsky. In particular, it centers around her stunning Everlasting Collection. Bold and colorful, the Nevertheless Magazine Innocentia editorial mainly allows the elegant ensembles to do all the work, turning the models into prim and proper damsel in a rather unique way.

• 
  Each woman in the Nevertheless Magazine Innocentia photo spread looks like a modern, real-life version of a Matryoshka nesting doll. It is this doll-like quality that gives this editorial its name, that’s for sure. Of course, the cultural Russian dresses with its demure silhouette and feminine details help the innocently sweet aesthetic.
