Having offered yet another stellar collection at runway

for Milan Fashion Week (MFW), a/w  ’15 –

designer, Stella Jean

continues as a raising star in the fashion cosmos.

For the past few seasons, I anticipate her runway presentations

and once again it is worth the wait.

…

designer, Stella Jean

…

From her debut collection (September 2012 at Milan Fashion Week)

to the present-

her design aesthetics remains true to a loving embrace of

her Caribbean and European heritage.

Of Haitian (her mother) and Italian (her father) parentage,

Ms. Jean marries sartorial qualities from this varied familial exposure:

vibrant colours/prints with tailoring craftsmanship.

…

Her talents were immediately noticed and championed by

legendary designer Giorgio Armani.

For Milan Fashion Week,  s/s  ’14

Mr. Armani honoured the new designer by selecting her

to present at Teatro Armani, his 550 seat show space.

This was certainly sign of high praise indeed.

…

Ms. Jean’s creations are mirror to her own multi-cultural reflection.

Hers is a welcomed interpretation of fashion as global perspective:

“I want to communicate through clothes a concept of opposite worlds and traditions fusing together in a sophisticated way and standing side by side with equal importance, not covering the other up.”  (quote from vogue.co.uk)

…

For her a/w ’15 collection

Ms. Jean adds hints of  Himalayan dress

into the cultural aesthetic mix with fabrication and tassel adornments.

Her design attitude is celebratory, joyous, vivid, uplifting.

…

Melting pot of fashion, design ingredients

a melding of cultural dress references

a masculine / feminine mix of design attitude

a wink at various fashion eras:

’60s flower power vibe,  ’50s in full-swing ‘poodle skirt’, ‘

’90s grudge Seattle wear

an explosion of colour and mixed fabrication

an exciting collection with a definite wow factor

MFW, s/s 2015: the Fausto Puglisi collection

18 Thursday Sep 2014

I am a fan of Italian designer, Fausto Puglisi.

His ‘bells and whistles’ approach may be OTT for some,

but I do admire the extreme exuberance he brings to

his creations.

…

(image from marieclaire.it):

Fausto-Puglisi_ portrait from maireclaire.itmain_image_object

designer, Fausto Puglisi

…

His work was showcased at the recent exhibition,

The Glamour of Italian Fashion 1945 – 2014

held at the Victoria and Albert Museum (London).

Sr. Puglisi is one to watch of the

next generation of Italian fashion talent.

…

He continues to grow and to explore:

fine tuning conflicting perspectives of creating

bling things with urban edge, which holds appeal

for a select audience with

the reality of designing for a wider demographics

in order to sustain a business.

…

Putting the practicalities aside,

Sr. Puglisi is a design showman and I for one want a front row seat.

…

For the s/s 2015 collection presented opening day at MFW,

there was no shortage of ideas, running the gamut:

from ’60s mod to contemporary urban sass,

from gold high shine to graphic prints

and some others in between.

…

I am love stuck on the shoes.  Sr. Puglisi brought the ‘bling thing’ factor

to slides and gladiator sandals.

…

The 1960s was a dynamic decade:

political challenges and change

military intervention and failure

space exploration and success

new ideas and inventions

social unrest and strife

…

Elements of the decade’s enduring influences

remain far from exhaustive.
