 Colour in abundance

 A-line skirt hems high and low

and a bit of

Bra bondage wear

…

(image from style.it)

designer Fausto Puglisi

…

For his eponymous label, Italian designer

Fausto Puglisi presented  a  s/s  2014 collection

which, successfully blended soft feminine ease

(prints,  skirts,  flounce,  flow)

with

hard rock and roll edge

(leather bras,  biker jackets,   straps,  buckles) .

…

 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.

…

(from l – r :  Nicky Minaj and Madonna performing at Super Bowl, 2012)

…

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.

out and about in Puglisi creations.

…

Last autumn Mr. Puglisi was named Creative Director for Ungaro.

With designing for the fashion avant garde  of the music industry

and creating for his own label in addition to Ungaro-

What’s next for this young talent?

Stay tuned.

crystals, design motifs, flowers, iridescent, Mary Katrantzou, Mary Katrantzou - print motifs, money, motifs, postage stamps, prints, spring 2013

It’s the festive season …  bright, sparkly ornaments abound.  Why not dress to reflect this special time of year?   What  better than to wear statement sparkle

Consider pieces from Mary Katrantzou’s Spring/Summer 2013 collection.

Known as the maestra of print, Ms. Katrantzou’s current collection literally shimmers and shines with iridescent metallics and crystals.  The motifs:  flowers (life/new beginnings), money (prosperity/security) and postage stamps (travel/adventure), perfect print inspiration to herald in a new year.

Chanel Spring 2013

It’s no secret-  I absolutely adore print design. So this Chanel suit, certainly arrested my attention.  The subtle red/blue geometric pattern, large blue collar,  blue trim (to sleeves, jacket hem) and pattern/colour contrast of jacket and dress is pure Chanel understated elegance … another Lagerfeld design success. And yes – the statement fingerless gloves, simply  in red.
