Another triumph for

designer Phoebe Philo.

…

Her  Fall ’14 Collection for Celine is a symphony of sartorial high notes,

 on-key innovative fashion and styling.

…

The collection crescendos into an explosion of:

fabric mix

asymmetrical silhouette

exaggerated sizing

crisp tailoring

embellished pieces

delicate andro-chic elements

…

elongated sleeves

floor sweeping trouser hems

(both a nod to grunge fashion)

…

And the accessories, striking the right chord:

faux fur hand muffs

shoe stompers

single earrings

chunky / colourful lucite necklaces and bracelets

in harmony to create statement autumn looks.

Unreal: Anrealage, s/s 2013

Anrealage, Anrealage - Bones collection, avant garde, avant garde fashion, creative accessories, design inspiration, exoskeletal garment, Kunihiko Morinaga, spring/summer 2013, women's wear, womenswear designers

 

A fashion creative’s design inspiration

can originate from a variety of references,

singular or collective:

a work of art

an artistic movement

an architectural structure

a music genre

an historical era

a personal muse

a natural phenomenon

an element in nature

a myriad of things past, present and imagined .

 

…

 

 

Kunihiko Morinaga,

the creative of avant garde label,  Anrealage

presented an innovative  s/s 2013 collection, which he called

Bones

 

…

 

 

The collection is inspired by the idea of

form, framework, structure, pattern

The grid-like shells, which outline the garments are

like exoskeletons:   a hard covering, encasing a soft interior.

The same detail is echoed in the accessories:

headwear, socks, shoes. 

Extraordinary.

 

…

 

 

Provocative.  Organic.  Colourful.  Conceptual.

Anrealage,   s/s 2013
