'duckbill' trouser hem, Jaeha-Alex Kim - designer, New York Fashion a/w 2016, New York Fashion Week, signature garment, signature piece, trouser fashion, trouser hems, trousers, womenswear, womenswear designers

 

 

Designer, Jaeha-Alex Kim

was born in South Korea where he spent his formative years.

At age ten, his family immigrated to New Zealand.

Demonstrating a pronounced talent in fashion design

he presented his first collection at only 21 years old,

during New Zealand Fashion Week (2007).

 

 

…

…

 

His collection was received with thunderous accolade and much media attention.

Jaeha- Alex Kim was hailed as a most promising talent:

a one to watch.

 

His design perspective is that of risk-taker:

innovative, inspired/inspirational.

Yet, his clothes have the welcomed quality

of wearability, of fashion access.

 

 

 

 

For New York Fashion Week,  a/w  2016,

he presented a collection true to his spirit of inventiveness

featuring a modern silhouette to trouser design, which

draws the eye down to new point of interest on the garment:

the hem redefined.

 

 

 

‘Hemmed’ in

 

 -a trouser focal point of long length sculptural intention

-hems that lay flat across the shoe

in a shape reminiscent of a ‘duckbill’

 

 

Incorporate the ‘duckbill’ trouser hem into your

a/w 2016  wardrobe as signature piece:

Music mogul Pharrell Williams ignited a fashion spark of interest

in mile high statement headwear

with his sporting of towering forest ranger,

Smokey the Bear-esque headgear.

The flames have been fanned into a full on blaze

as designers, Donna Karan and Thom Browne

accessorised their  NYFW,  s/s  2015 runway looks

with ‘not for the style shy’ headpieces.

…

To liberally paraphase Smokey the Bear

‘Only you can prevent this fashion fire’.

From the looks of things there’s no stopping

the wild fire spread of fashion’s hottest accessory.

The Delpozo Collection s/s 2014 : Volume? yes, please!

Barbizon School, Delpozo, Gypsy Woman with Tambourine, Jean Baptiste Camille Corot, Josep Font, New York Fashion Week, Spring/Summer 2014 Collections

Spanish design label

Delpozo

presented for a second consecutive season at

New York Fashion Week,  s/s  2014.

Under the leadership of creative director,  Josep Font

the collection offered was

magical yet subdued

exciting yet restrained

detailed yet un fussed

Soft/delicate hues,  print mixing and skilful volume

added depth and richness.

…

The collection is inspired by the work of

leading 19th century French landscape artist

Jean Baptiste Camille Corot

a proponent of the Barbizon School, which

sought to reflect realism in art through direct observation.

…

Of particular reference for Josep Font is the portrait

(image from allposters.com):

Gypsy Woman with Tambourine

by Jean Baptiste Camille Corot

…

The sitter’s exquisite simplicity of un-adornment and

voluminous dress of soft shading and hue

is echoed in the Delpozo collection.

…

colour, Costello Tagliapietra, New York Fashion Week, Spring/Summer 2014 Collections, trousers

Jeffery Costello and Robert Tagliapietra

costello tagliapietra designer image s14YVL_4658.1366x2048

are the creatives of the eponymous label

Costello Tagliapietra.

Known and appreciated for their personal dress signature:

rugged, plaid and bearded

they are masters at delicate design, which celebrate

the female form.

…

Their clothes are characters of their design story:

Ease.   Colour.   Fluidity.   Simplicity.

A happy tale.

…

For s/s 2014, they remained true to the plot

with particular success in the trouser elements of the collection.

Of note, was the injection of their signature dress style of plaid –

(rugged and bearded excluded)

…

Unfortunately, not as successful was the cumbersome layering of

belted cardigans over dresses.
