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.

…

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.

…

‘Tartanology’: check it out!

22 Friday Nov 2013

'tartanology', autumn/winter 2013, Fausto Puglisi, history of tartan, tartan, tartan - wear, womenswear

Tartan

a woven material, usually of wool

distinctive by stripes of varying width and colours.

The stripes are positioned vertically: the warp

and horizontally: the weft.

The resulting pattern appears as squares intersected by stripes.

The pattern is called the sett and

the tartan is the repeating of setts.

…

Tartan patterning has evolved into

an iconic image of Scottish identity.

…

(image from aberdeenshire.gov.uk):

…

Origins

During excavations in northwest China

of an ancient city (Qizilchoqa) in existence over 2,000 years ago –

archeologist unearthed mummified remains of

four men and two women.

All redheaded; all dressed in tartan patterned cloth.

It is believed that they were of a migrating Celtic tribe.

The discovery signified that the Celts (600 BC – 50 AD) wove cloth in a

chequer-patterned design:  tartan.

…

An early sample of this patterning, specific to Scotland

dates to the 3rd century AD.

Named the Falkirk Tartan, after the Scottish town of Falkirk

where it is believed to have originated –

it is displayed in the collection of the

National Museum of Scotland, Edinburgh.

…

…

A German woodcut, 1631-  of Highland mercenaries

in the employ of the Swedish King Gustavus Adolphus,

depicts the men wearing tartan kilts.

This is further evidence of tartan patterning in Scottish dress.

…

…

Tartan Identification

It seems that an initial indicator of tartan as a sort of

“clan uniform”

occurred in 1746 at the Battle of Culloden.

…

The confrontation was the last in the military efforts

of Prince Charles Edward Stuart (The Young Pretender)

to assert his claim to the English crown.

Grandson of the deposed Stuart king,

the Catholic James II –

Prince Charles as his father before him

was unsuccessful in his attempts.

…

(image from queenofscots.co.uk):

…

Of specific interest for ‘tartanology’ (the study of tartan)

is that Highland combatants at Culloden wore

tartan kilts of patterning similar to others from

the same or closely neighbouring communities –

probably more a general district tartan pattern

than specific family clan patterns.

…

The Victorians and Tartan  

Queen Victoria and her consort Prince Albert

loved visiting Balmoral Castle, which they had built in 1856

on the royal estate in Aberdeenshire, Scotland.

When there, they enjoyed wearing Highland dress and

decorating rooms in tartan prints.

…

…

Ever industrious, Prince Albert even designed

a pattern known as the Balmoral Tartan.

Tartan image: Balmoral (Royal). Click on this image to see a more detailed version.

…

In response to the royal interest in things tartan,

many Victorians followed suit-

fashioning themselves and their interiors in tartan.

…

Today tartan is an extremely popular print,

seen in runway presentation

and translated into street style.

…

For his a/w 2013 womenswear collection

Italian designer Fausto Puglisi

offers yet another example of the international appeal

of tartan- fashion.

His interpretation is a strong, bold statement –

well in-keeping with tales of the fearless Highlanders.

For his eponymous label, Italian designer

Fausto Puglisi presented  a  s/s  2014 collection

which, successfully blended soft feminine ease

…

 The result:  stand out pieces of which to take note.

…

Having created stage wardrobe for flamboyant pop stars such as

Nicky Minaj,  Madonnna and M. I. A –

Mr. Puglisi  is no stranger to fashion shock-factor dress.

Yet his  s/s 2014 collection has an element of restraint-

pushing the boundaries, but not to the extreme.

…

Fashionista and editor,  Ann dello Russo –

is credited for adding momentum to the Puglisi Buzz.
