Inspiration are the portraits of Helmut Newton: Stefano Citron and Federico Piaggi send a women's collection on the catwalk and dynamics that focuses on clothing from unexpected effects.

Dominates the conceptual framework, the collection is a great expression of sophistication in terms of shapes, colors and materials. The textures seem to come alive, sophisticated processing accomplices: the pictorial inspiration is the work of Jason Martin, whose textured brushstrokes are a perfect match in the three-dimensional tissue. The collection is bright, experimental. The visual impact is strong, decisive. 8

STATEMENT
“My garments get their inspiration from the exploitation of the female body within fashion and western society, and symbolize the meeting between the socially accepted body and the fleshy, ever changing body we actually have. It is a battle between what we wish for, and what we are trying to hide. The garments emerge from intimate garment details and unwanted body shapes, which enters the fashion scene without pardon.” With an ambivalent attitude towards the norms and values of the fashion world, designer Minna Palmqvist finds inspiration for new ideas through letting the perfect surface of fashion meet the crass reality of everyday life.

With a Master of Fine Arts in Textile from Kontfack College of Arts, Crafts and Design, Minna Palmqvist started her self-entitled brand MINNAPALMQVIST in 2009. The design concept Intimately Social (Int.Soc.) started as a master project in 2007, as has since been shown in various versions in e.g. Stockholm, Berlin, Dubrovnik, Paris and Maastricht. The collection is in constant change, transformation and development and does not follow the traditional fashion seasons. Except from a number of garments, the collection also contains two separate art installations and three films. These two fields are both a part of Minna Palmqvist’s creative vision and feed each other, and pushes the work forward.

Cameras have been following Carine Roitfeld during the creation of her new magazine CR Fashion Book, and the footage will be turned into a documentary called Mademoiselle C.

Roitfeld has reportedly given director Fabien Constant "unprecedented access" to her entire life over the past few months, and he and his crew will continue filming right up until the first issue of CR Fashion Book debuts this September. The film doesn't have a release date yet, but it has already been characterized as "a lot of fun," and will include interviews with Tom Ford, Donatella Versace, and the endlessly quotable Karl Lagerfeld.
Constant and Roitfeld have worked together before — last year, he filmed her appointments during couture week to create a short film for W magazine.

Cheerful plaids were mixed and matched to great effect in spring 2012 by Julien David, who has shown top in pink plaid shorts paired with knee-length camouflage print in blue. The prints checkered green and yellow come together in swirls of red, white and blue, that somehow emerge harmonious and equipped with flat sandals with multiple straps and thick soles. The collection has a vibration saucy; different combinations seem perfect for a student, such as a wool cardigan worn over a shirt and a checkered Oxford crumpled skirt or a blouse with a collar that comes out of a sweater with a navy skirt coordinated . 6+

Trained both in womenswear, Marta Marques and Paulo Almeida subscribe to the Helmut Lang school of thought, where ‘fashion is about attitude, not hemlines’. While their aesthetic evokes raw effortlessness, the pair’s technical sensibilities are revealed in the construction of each piece. Cutting their teeth at Vivienne Westwood and Preen respectively, Marques and Almeida took the natural course of combining talents while on the MA at Central Saint Martins – hitting the mark between impulse and consideration. They create for a market that desires sartorial instincts with an authentic edge. Having shown their Spring Summer 2012 with Fashion East at London Fashion Week their list of stockists now includes Opening Ceremony NY and LA, Desperado in Tokyo and Joyce in Hong Kong.
