Each fashion season, designers present their inspired creations

which reference a myriad of influences:

travel, music, visual art, nature, emotions, historical eras, celebrated people-

and many other source points.

The end results of their creative processes

from initial thought to finished product-

are the completed collections

which debut on fashion week runways.

As the autumn season slowly fades and

winter weather whisks in,

the overcoat gains prominence as signature piece.

Its function is two-fold: to provide warmth and protection

against the cold clime and to make the wearer look fabulous in the process.

 

…

The gents have many choices from which to contemplate

the perfect winter overcoat, which speaks to total comfort

and style needs.

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.

none more instantly apparent than in fashion:

WC1 – London’s Bloomsbury hits the runway

30 Tuesday Jul 2013

Antonio Marras, art inspired - fashion, autumn/winter 2013, RTW, The Bloomsbury Group, womenswear, womenswear designers

For his Fall 2013 RTW collection

Italian designer Antonio Marras

(image from vanityfair.it)

drew inspiration from the

free- thinking

free- living

free-loving

unorthodox

unconventional

unapologetic

 Bloomsbury Group

 the early twentieth century association of

London intellectuals who defied the norms.

…

Marrying varied prints, textures and forms

Marras captured the diversity of

aggregate talent

colourful expression

creative energy

 of the Bloomsbury set.

…

The garments exude femininity and strength, acknowledging

the women and the then women’s concerns,

which were integral to the Bloomsbury message.

…

Marras  presents smart andro-chic trouser suits

as well as dress silhouettes, which

celebrate the female form.

His attempt to interpret and to present

a cohesive collection which evokes a

Bloomsbury-esque aesthetic

hits a successful note.

…
