Celine - s/s 2015, fashion campaigns, fashion news, Joan Didion, Phoebe Philo, spring/summer 2015

 

American author Joan Didion

is the new face of Céline, spring/summer 2015 campaign.

Ms. Didion is the celebrated writer of such singular works as

memoirist essay collection,  Slouching Towards Bethlehem  and

the novel and later film , Play It as It Lays.

 

…

This isn’t the first foray into

fashion “it-girl” status for Ms. Didion.

She and daughter Quintana Roo Dunne

were partnered on a shoot for Gap, 1989.

 

…

Kudos to Phoebe Philo, creative director of Céline

for featuring an accomplished, strong, articulate woman-

oh, and among her other milestones

Joan Didion is a vibrant octogenarian.

The fuzzy – wuzzy trend strikes again for Fall ’14.

Designers were again inspired

to create multi-sensory fashion:

wonderful to look at and wonderful to touch,

with a few elements of quirky fashion fun.

…

There are many options for introducing

the fuzzy – wuzzy trend into an autumn wardrobe.

Go for a simple touch

with a single garment, detail or key accessory.

Or “go big or go home”

with full-on style statement effect.

…

The fuzzy – wuzzy trend:  tactile, playful, bold.

Backpacking it !

backpack fashion - s/s '14, backpack history, backpack use/users, backpacks, Dick Kelty, Ole Bergan

The history of the backpack was one of need and practicality.

Needing a sensible means of transporting

bulky/heavy belongings, the first backpacks

were of welcomed assistance.

…

From ancient times, a backpack type carrier was used

to carry heavy loads.

These first primitive bags were made out of animal skins.

…

In 1908, Norwegian Ole Bergan (1876 – 1956)  manufactured

the first patented backpack, which was modelled on an 1880 design

sekk med meis  (bag with frame) –

constructed of an external frame and

 used as a carrier for mountaineering activities.

…

The Norwegian military (1913),  some Mount Everest expedition climbers

and many outdoorsmen used Bergan designed backpacks.

…

American, Asher ‘Dick’ Kelty (1919 – 2004) is credited with

designing and manufacturing a lightweight backpack (1952) for

wholly civilian purposes, thus setting the trajectory for

backpacks in everyday use.

…

Backpacks, once associated as essential gear

for the military and outdoors types,

became an alternative carrier bag for

book-lugging students

paper-totting  office workers

grocery gathering homeward bounders –

 anyone who desired an easy/comfortable means of

transporting the weight of day’s essentials.

to smart fashion accessory.

With New Year’s Eve festivities and celebrations less than a fortnight away,

time for deciding on the night’s party attire has arrived.

As always there’s a variety of on-trend options from which to choose.

…

For 2013 why not consider an NYEFF ensemble:

(New Year’s Eve Feather Fashion)

…

Feathers are au courant for the a/w 2013 season.

Seen on many runway shows

as the main material and as a decorative accessory,

feathers are more than fashion flight of fancy

but are a fashion firm choice:

Fun

Flirty

Flounce

Flow

Fabulous

key words for the perfect NYE outfit –

this year say it with feathers.

What’s up next, Doc? (as in Dr. Martens)

25 Friday Oct 2013

In the Beginning:

For over fifty years

the  production of iconic footwear brand

Doc Martens

has been managed by the Griggs,

a prominent British cobbler family from Northhamptonshire.

…

  The design and functionality of Doc Martens

was the brainchild of two German inventors-

Dr.  Martens and Dr. Funck.

 In the 1950s, they partnered with the Griggs family

uniting an innovative shoe concept

with the know how of shoe manufacturing.

…

(image from creative match.com):

…

Originally, a simple black leather lace up boots with

thick rubber soles and yellow stitching,

designed for work comfort –

the collaboration would give rise to  shoe wear

which came to symbolise:

a self expression, tied to a group identification

challenging the status quo.

During the 1980s wearing Docs

singled the wearer as

‘free to be me’.

…

Docs became the shoe wear for those of

 counter-culture, anti-establishment sentiments.

…

 Peter Townsend

songwriter and guitarist of the rock band ‘Who’

was  credited with the christening of

the shoe as “rebellious cool”

when, as legend goes …

After performing in concert,

he went to bed exhausted  with

only a bottle of cognac in hand and Docs on his feet.

(You get the visuals.)

…

Docs were the

marching shoes of various

 ‘styled tribes’

whose attire were expressions

of their demand to introduce a new social agenda.

…

(image from articles.latimes.com)

…

Punks,  Goths,  Grunge,

Mods,  Britpop,   Glam rockers

all paid sartorial homage to the label.

 

…

Docs have now become mainstream.

In addition to the original Black leather boot and yellow stitching

there are various shapes, colours, patterns

from which to choose.

They are a statement maker for the wearer

…

Simply,

Docs are required footwear for those

who are cool, with an irreverent bit of edge.

…

Sooner or later –
