<p>In ancient times feminine beauty had been compared to a mountain river’s flow. Similarly Viktoria Balaniuk and Véronika Vèz, conceiving the concept of “flowing” as the purest example of harmony, have created FLOW the Label to express the most genuine womanhood, which is overshadowed by society’s excessive experimentation.<br />
<strong>FLOW the Label</strong> aims to the perfect balance of opposites, blending beauty and functionality and, although the brand is quite emerging (born in 2014), its energy spreads almost all over Europe.<br />
FLOW the Label’s aesthetic is the perfect match between vintage and modern: elegant and feminine dresses with masculine touches and ironic accents, which led it to receive the VOGUE Ukraine’s Design IT Award and the BFA in the United Kingdom. Great job Viktoria and Véronika!<br />
FLOW the Label’s inspirations come from all artistic fields, from the architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright to the paintings of Georgian Niko Pirosmani. The Spring/Summer 2017 takes inspiration from the cultural heritage of the ‘70s and particularly from the movie Stepford Wives (1975), where husbands kill their socially active wives, in order to replace them with robots created to be the “perfect wives”. FLOW the Label works on the conflicting roles of a housewife and a working woman in a contemporary setting. The “perfect wife” wears silk batiste blouses, light aprons and dresses with frills and ruffles; instead, the independent woman is pictured in suits with raw edges and practical trenches. Fabrics like denim, linen and cotton, together with floral embroideries, are the traits d’union among these female types, translated in a fashion collection that is able to combine diversity in a harmonious way. We can’t wait to introduce you the next collection…Just a spoiler alert: FLOW the Label’s Autumn/Winter woman will show its romantic side and its inspirations will be taken from the characters of Picnic at Hanging Rock by Peter Weir!<br />
FLOW the Label : the storytelling of a dynamic and refined femininity which, like a river, moves itself in harmony with the flow of time.</p>
<p><span style="color: #999999;">Anticamente la bellezza femminile era comparata allo scorrere di un fiume lungo una montagna. Viktoriia Balaniuk e Véronika Vèz si appropriano immediatamente (nel 2014) del concetto di flowing, intendendolo come il più puro esempio di armonia, e fondano <strong>FLOW the Label</strong>: perché la femminilità, quella genuina, ha bisogno di esprimersi appieno in un contesto votato all’eccessiva sperimentazione.</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"> La ricerca del perfetto bilanciamento degli impulsi, tra abiti che siano belli e funzionali, è ciò che anima il percorso del brand che, sebbene emergente, ha saputo diffondere la sua energia in quasi tutta Europa. L’estetica di FLOW the Label è il perfetto incontro tra retro e moderno: capi eleganti e femminili, con tocchi ereditati dal guardaroba maschile e accenti ironici, combinazioni che hanno portato il brand ad essere notato e a ricevere il VOGUE Ukraine Design IT Award e il BFA nel Regno Unito. Un grande inizio per due giovani intraprendenti come Viktoria e Véronika!</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"> L’arte in tutte le sue sfaccettature è, per loro, fonte d’ispirazione, dall’architettura di Frank Lloyd Wright alle opere del georgiano Niko Pirosmani. La collezione Primavera/Estate 2017 ha alla base un grande amore per l’eredità culturale mutuata dagli anni Settanta, in particolare pesca a piene mani dal film Stepford Wives del 1975. La trama? Le mogli, intelligenti e socialmente attive, sono uccise dai rispettivi mariti per essere sostituite da cloni totalmente succubi al desiderio maschile della “moglie perfetta”. FLOW the Label interpreta, con i suoi capi, i contrasti ideologici tra l’amorevole donna di casa e l’indipendente donna lavoratrice. Camicette in seta batista, grembiuli e abitini leggeri ricchi di increspature e volant rappresentano La moglie perfetta (remake di Stepford Wives del 2004 con Nicole Kidman); mentre il temperamento della business woman si fa spazio grazie a completi dagli orli grezzi e pratici trench. Tessuti come denim, lino e cotone, insieme ai ricami floreali, fungono da trait d’union tra le due tipologie femminili, riuscendo a racchiuderne la diversità in maniera armoniosa. Stile boho, dettagli tecnici e palette di colori studiati per affascinare e incuriosire la mente verso le prossime collezioni. Noi vi possiamo solo anticipare che la donna diventerà più romantica, e avrà il suo fulcro nei personaggi del film Picnic ad Hanging Rock di Peter Weir!</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"> FLOW the Label: la storia di una femminilità energica e raffinata che, come un fiume, si muove in armonia con lo scorrere del tempo.</span></p>

<p>Dear friends, our sake of what is out of the ordinary brought us to the other side of the Mediterranean Sea, in Beirut city, to discover one of the most prominent fashion designers of the Middle East.<br />
Apparel brand <strong>Kojak</strong>, founded by Mohanad Kojak after participating at the first edition of Project Runway Middle East, has launched a new capsule collection, “Knockout”, blurring the line between feminine and reckless. We are very happy to show you the beautiful shoot which took place on the streets of Beirut in collaboration with Elle Arabia &#8211; stylist Ghina Maalouf, focused on the typical urban exteriors in contrast with the feminine silhouettes of the collection. It featured dresses with an experimental edge, voluminous skirts and different textures. The concept of going away from what it is typical and expected is clear in this project, as the pictures don’t feature proper Beirut locations; instead the characteristic of the city of being full of contrasts between delicate and rough is visible in the styling of the clothes. Kojak translated this into the shoot through the juxtaposition of the delicate silhouette of the costumes with a grungy twist, lent through the locations and props, like a rusty staircase, or by some of the accessories used, like fishnets covering a model’s head or a plastic bag used as a hair tie. The way that the essence of a city has been translated into ultra-feminine, bold and experimental dresses totally fascinated us. You know how much we love giving our space to such talents, whose creations shouldn’t be limited or confined by any border.<br />
Keep on supporting our emerging designers, no matter where they come from!</p>
<p><span style="color: #999999;">Cari amici, come sapete siamo sempre alla ricerca di tutto ciò che è fuori dall’ordinario, anche a costo di attraversare il Mar Mediterraneo e volare a Beirut, come questa volta.</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"> Vogliamo presentarvi uno dei designers più promettenti del panorama mediorientale, Mohanad Kojak dell’omonimo brand <strong>Kojak</strong>, e il lancio della sua nuova capsule collection “Knockout”.</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"> “Knockout” nasce dall&#8217;idea, molto concettuale, di fondere assieme l’estetica spigolosa e cruda di Beirut con abiti dalla silhouette femminile e piuttosto drammatica, con texture diverse mescolate assieme e volumi esagerati. Perseguendo questo stile, lo shooting di campagna ha visto la collaborazione della stylist Ghina Maalouf di Elle Arabia ed e&#8217; stato ambientato nella citta&#8217; libanese, rappresentando solo alcuni dettagli della stessa, inserendoli nello styling come a dar forza all’ estetica degli outfit: la ruggine di una scala cosi&#8217; come gli scorci di un edificio abbandonato sono solo alcuni degli elementi che rimandano alla durezza della città. Tutto e&#8217; accompagnato da una scelta &#8220;forte&#8221; anche sugli accessori, dalla rete che copre la testa di una modella alla busta di plastica usata come elastico per capelli.</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"> Il modo in cui Kojak ha trasportato l’essenza di una città complessa in abiti dall’allure ultra-femminile, dalle linee nette e sperimentali ci ha davvero colpito. Le sue creazioni hanno forza e impatto tali che riescono a non conoscere limiti né confini &#8230;</span><span style="color: #999999;">Continuate con noi a supportare questi talenti, da qualunque parte del mondo provengano!</span></p>

<p>Dear friends, London Fashion Week always gathers the best of British fashion and this year especially, while we were walking around the Designer Showroom and the presentations’ venues, we saw so many beautiful ideas and concepts that we had some difficulties in selecting the best for you. So, here we are presenting some of the most talented designers we met for you!<br />
From South Korea to London, we are happy to introduce you to the “artwear” brand Moon Lee and to the womenswear accessories label Danse Lente.<br />
<strong>Moon Lee</strong> takes inspiration from the art therapy creating playful dresses that mix&amp;match different type of fabrics, colours and embroideries inviting the wearer to focus on happy thoughts. The designer aims to help people not to worry about their problems and to be cheerful about life! We definitely need that embroidered dress representing a couple watching a sky full of stars, how romantic…<br />
<strong>Danse Lente</strong>, on the other hand, creates contemporary handbags and clutches produced in Italian calf leather. Focusing on geometry, unique shaped creations are going to be released soon: multi-section wallets, long oval tube bags, square and octagon totes with adjustable tick leather straps and silver details. Keep an eye on this label, it will be launched officially this month!<br />
Moving to the jewellery side, we want to mention <strong>Halo&amp;Co</strong>. Bold, colourful, shiny and rich jewels that mix tradition with contemporary design, the sibling duo Nicola and Stephanie Ball definitely have clear ideas on how to catch people’s attention! Designed and produced in the UK valuing the most fine craftsmanship, all the jewels are realized with 24 carat rose or yellow gold plated, silver, rhodium using crystal and stones in collaboration with Swarovski. If you ever worried on how to dress up that boring outfit, here’s the solution! <img src="https://www.styleswitch.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/simple-smile.png" alt=":)" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /><br />
This is just an appetiser on what you will taste from London (and its Fashion Weeks). Put yourself comfortable and don’t miss our next article: you will be amazed!</p>
<p><span style="color: #999999;">Cari amici, Londra e la London Fashion Week dimostrano sempre di essere grandi incubatori di talenti! Durante l’ultima edizione, mentre camminavamo tra gli showroom e le presentazioni, abbiamo incrociato gli sguardi e le creazioni di designer che con il loro potenziale creativo ci hanno talmente colpito che abbiamo avuto difficoltà a scegliere solo il meglio per voi, come sempre. Eccovi una presentazione di alcuni dei brand selezionati, sperando vi affascinino e vi ispirino come è successo a noi qui in redazione!</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"> Dalla Corea del Sud a Londra, si fanno strada “l’artwear” di Moon Lee e gli accessori Danse Lente.<br />
<strong>Moon Lee</strong> prende ispirazione dall’art therapy e propone capi colorati e divertenti decorati ad arte con giochi di tessuti e ricami che rappresentano scene gioiose di vita: lo scopo del brand infatti è di “promuovere” la felicità in tutte le sue forme! Non trovate anche voi poetico quell’abito su cui è ricamata una coppia di sposi che osserva un cielo stellato? Un’idea splendida!</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"> E poi scorgiamo <strong>Danse Lente</strong>, che propone una linea di borse dal design contemporaneo, realizzata in pelle di vitello interamente in Italia. Il focus è tutto sulla geometria: portafogli e porta occhiali a fisarmonica, borse di forma ovale, squadrate, ottagonali, quasi tutte con tracolle regolabili o dettagli in metallo. Tenete d’occhio il brand perché l’intera collezione verrà lanciata ufficialmente questo mese!</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"> Spostandoci sul fronte gioielleria, ecco a voi <strong>Halo&amp;Co</strong>. Gioielli statement, colorati e dalle linee complesse, con un mix vincente di tradizione e modernità. Le sorelle e designers Nicola e Stephanie Ball hanno le idee molto chiare su come attirare la nostra attenzione: placcature in oro giallo e rosa, argento, rodio, pietre semi preziose e cristalli Swarovski, tutti gli accessori sono prodotti nel Regno Unito utilizzando e valorizzando l’artigianalità locale. Se vi stavate chiedendo come valorizzare un outfit, eccovi la soluzione! <img src="https://www.styleswitch.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/simple-smile.png" alt=":-)" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"> Questo è solo un assaggio di ciò che leggerete prossimamente sui designer di Londra e dintorni, quindi mettetevi comodi e non perdetevi il nostro prossimo articolo: non ve ne pentirete!</span></p>

<p>As the spring – and like the wind, “IED + StyleSwitch x Emerging Designers” feature is back! This time the zoom is on a young milliner and her perfect harmony between present and past. Veronica Marucci Chapeaux represents Veronica’s desire to create unique and personal hats. The beginning of her journey flashes back to when she had the courage to ring at the doorbell of one of the most famous milliner once, noticing her creativity, accepted to become her professor. In her flat in the Marais Veronica created Christine, Bogart, Louise Brooks&#8230; unusual hats decorated with vintage applications from France and Italy. The influence comes from everything fascinated her eyes and gave her emotions, from iconic actresses of the 1930s to swallows in flight. Little by little, Veronica’s dream comes true opening her first boutique in 32 Rue Saint-Roch, an elegant place full of that kind of energy that only la Ville Lumiére can offer.<br />
The Spring/Summer 2017 collection winks at hat history, from the bicorn from the XVIII century to the turban which Paul Poiret re-launched in the 1920s. The French Riviera is the background of a collection that Veronica describes in two words: “Deep Breath”, the moment before jumping into the unknown, when a rush of adrenalin goes through the entire body. This can be pictured also as that instant when you discover the depth of your soul, and the body is floating between air and water.<br />
Listening to the splashing waves, let Veronica Marucci tell us more about her world.</p>
<p><strong>How did you find your passion for fashion?</strong><br />
I have always been attracted to stylish and well-dressed people. I think that taking care of yourself isn’t superficial at all, but it is a will not-to-look-like other people and I appreciate that. I realized I wanted to work in order to make people be themselves showing off their fashionista side, that is what makes me like my job.<br />
I didn’t need anything to feed my passion, I was already sure of what I needed but I kept doing research about it because fashion is all about research and analysis, it reflects our society.<br />
<strong>Has working in fashion always been your dream?</strong><br />
I think yes! But my work life has been through some changes, I started with clothes ending up with accessories (hats); from trends hunting to visual merchandising, finding the exact thing I wanted to do was a bit long.<br />
<strong>Who and what really pushes you to pursue this career?</strong><br />
Nobody has ever pushed me to work in fashion, nobody forced me to make this choice. In every job I did, there was something missing, I needed to work with my hands more than with my imagination, which is what I am doing today as a milliner. There was a triggering event that made this happen. Some encounters have been crucial, such as when I met my professor, who taught me everything about being a milliner. I just wanted people to wear hats, because they give them a touch of originality and elegance. My focus is on accessories because they give more style than clothes, and what’s better than a hat to emphasize the personality of the one who wears it?<br />
<strong>Professional turning point</strong><br />
Two moments have been very important in my work life, the day I decided to leave everything to become a milliner, creating my own brand and turning my passion into a job. The second has been when I found my boutique at 32 rue Saint-Roch where I understood that my dream finally came true and my company began to work.<br />
<strong>Which are the strengths of your collections?</strong><br />
The visual identity of my collections is their real strength. Even if they are very different, you can always recognize my sense of aesthetic and my signature touch. I aim at making people not feeling disguised but elegant, I am doing my best to make my hats look sober and original at the same time, I want them to be easy to wear and to escape from ordinary.<br />
<strong>What inspired you in the past and what can influence now your work?</strong><br />
Everything can be a source of inspiration: art, architecture, people, nature… I cannot predict what will influence me in the future, and that is why I like my job, I don’t know how tomorrow will be like and I find it exciting.<br />
<strong>How about future projects?</strong><br />
I am currently working on my e-boutique and I hope it will be online by next month! In the meantime I am doing my best extending my network with several collaborations, also by experimenting a new way to communicate through social networks and by writing regular news.<br />
<strong>Describe you IED – Milan experience and how it has artistically influenced your growth as designer</strong><br />
My studies at IED allowed me to discover the different steps of the elaboration of my projects and the reality of the world of fashion, which I didn’t imagine like it before starting my studies. School also helped me to discover my strengths and to have more self-confidence in my capacities.</p>
<p><span style="color: #999999;">Diamo il bentornato alla bella stagione con la nostra rubrica &#8220;IED + StyleSwitch x Emerging Designers&#8221;, frizzante come l&#8217;aria primaverile.</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"> Veronica Marucci Chapeaux nasce dal desiderio di Veronica di creare accessori unici, che rappresentino le persone che li indossano. Il suo coraggio l&#8217;ha spinta a bussare alle porta di una delle più importanti modiste di Parigi, che notando l&#8217;entusiasmo creativo che l&#8217;animava ha deciso di insegnarle i segreti del mestiere. Nel suo appartamento nel Marais, Veronica dà vita ai suoi primi modelli: Christine, Bogart, Louise Brooks&#8230;Le ispirazioni vengono da tutto quello che affascina l&#8217;occhio e crea emozioni, dal volo di una rondine alle attrici degli anni &#8217;30; nascono così cappelli ornati con applicazioni vintage, trovati in piccoli mercatini tra Francia e Italia. Piano piano il sogno diventa realtà trasformandosi in una boutique in Rue Saint-Roch 32, un elegante ambiente in cui ci si trova attorniati dal quell&#8217;energia che solo la Ville Lumiére sa regalare.</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"> La collezione Primavera/Estate 2017 strizza l&#8217;occhio alla storia dei cappelli, dal bicorno dei gentiluomini del 18esimo secolo ai turbanti rilanciati da Paul Poiret negli anni Venti, passando per i cappelli di paglia in tutte le forme possibili. Con la Costa Azzurra a farci da sfondo, Veronica descrive la collezione in due semplici parole: “Respiro Profondo”. Il momento prima di tuffarsi nell&#8217;ignoto, quando ad occhi chiusi si sente l&#8217;adrenalina scorrere per tutto il corpo. La scoperta della profondità del proprio animo, nel momento stesso in cui si è a metà tra aria e acqua.</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"> Lasciamo che Veronica Marucci ci racconti il suo mondo accompagnati dallo sciabordio delle onde in sottofondo.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #999999;"><strong>Com&#8217;è nata la tua passione per la moda e da cosa è stata alimentata?</strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"> Sono sempre stata attratta dalle persone eleganti e ben vestite. Penso che prendersi cura di se stessi non sia sintomo di superficialità, ma piuttosto di volontà di non voler essere uguale agli altri ed è qualcosa che apprezzo molto. Questo mi ha portato a capire che volevo fare un lavoro che mi permettesse di aiutare le persone ad essere se stesse attraverso la moda. Non ho fatto nulla per alimentare la mia passione, perché ero già sicura che fosse la strada da seguire; ma ho continuato a fare ricercare, la moda è questo, continua ricerca e analisi, è il riflesso della nostra società.</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"> <strong>Hai sempre voluto che fosse il tuo lavoro?</strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"> Penso di sì! La mia vita lavorativa ha attraversato tanti cambiamenti: ho iniziato con gli abiti per arrivare infine ai cappelli, passando per cool hunting e visual merchandising. Diciamo che trovare esattamente quello che volevo fare è stato un lungo cammino.</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"> <strong>Da chi e da cosa principalmente sei stata spinta a perseguire questa carriera e quali sono stati gli eventi scatenanti che ti hanno convinto che questa fosse la tua strada?</strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"> Nessuno mi ha spinto a lavorare nella moda, nessuno ha compiuto questa scelta per me.</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"> In tutti i lavori che ho fatto però, mi sentivo come se stessi perdendo qualcosa. Più che con l&#8217;immaginazione avevo bisogno di lavorare con le mie mani, proprio come faccio ora, come una modista. Per realizzare tutto ciò ci sono voluti diversi momenti di rottura, molti incontri sono stati cruciali, uno in particolare è stato incontrare il professore che mi ha insegnato ad essere una modista.</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"> <strong>Momento professionale di svolta</strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"> Due sono stati i momenti davvero importanti nella ma vita professionale. Il primo è stato il giorno in cui decisi di lasciare tutto per diventare modista, creare il mio brand e trasformare la mia passione in un lavoro. Il secondo è stato quando ho trovato la mia boutique in Rue Saint-Roch 32: lì ho capito che il mio sogno si stava realizzando!</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"> <strong>Quali sono i punti di forza delle tue collezioni?</strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"> L&#8217;identità visuale delle mie collezioni è il vero punto di forza; sebbene differenti, in ognuna puoi riconoscere il mio senso estetico e la mia impronta. Mi focalizzo sugli accessori perché credo regalino un tocco più personale all&#8217;outfit rispetto al solo abito, ma più di tutto desidero donare alle persone quel tocco di originalità e di eleganza da indossare in ogni occasione.</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"> <strong>Cosa ti ha ispirato in passato (natura, persone, oggetti, viaggi) per realizzare le collezioni e cosa attualmente credi possa influenzare il tuo lavoro futuro?</strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"> Tutto può essere fonte di ispirazione: l&#8217;arte, l&#8217;architettura, le persone, la natura&#8230; Non so dire cosa potrà influenzarmi in futuro, ed è questo che mi piace del mio lavoro: non so come sarò domani e cosa proverò.</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"> <strong>Progetti futuri</strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"> Attualmente sto sviluppando la mia e-boutique e spero sia online entro il prossimo mese! Allo stesso tempo faccio del mio meglio per far conoscere il mio brand grazie a collaborazioni e sperimentando con la comunicazione digitale.</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"> <strong>Descrivi la tua esperienza formativa in IED Milano e come ha influito artisticamente sulla vostra crescita come designer.</strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"> La mia formazione presso IED Milano mi ha permesso di scoprire le diverse fasi di elaborazione dei miei progetti e la realtà del mondo della moda. IED mi ha aiutato a scoprire i miei punti di forza e ad avere più fiducia nelle mie capacità.</span></p>

<p>Today we would like to introduce you the <strong>London Designers Collective</strong>, a new reality launched by REIN &#8211; womenswear brand founded by Gemma and Rebecca &#8211; that includes the best emerging underground fashion labels in London, reunited under one roof to host a series of guerrilla events between presentations and pop-up shop. The LDC aims to maximise the opportunity to sell and grow the business: ten pioneering and contemporary brands can raise together their customer base, sharing resources and networks! A new, exciting customer experience that allows people to shop directly from the designers, having the precious opportunity to discover immediately their collections.<br />
We selected three great brands and we suggest you to follow and support them on their social accounts. <strong>REIN</strong>, as mentioned, is a London-based contemporary brand that is inspired by and for women aiming to empower the body through one-of-a-kind designs. <strong>Park&amp;James</strong> is an English shoe brand produced in Italy, focused to bring the comfort of flat footwear to an upper level, linking wearability and bespoke design (the flat revolution!). <strong>Conflict Of Ego</strong>, “the conscious brand for the ever evolving self”, is described as “a philosophy with a brand”, whose collections explore socio-political issues in a provoking way.<br />
Giving voice to small, independent brands, the London Designers Collective builds the future of customer experience and retail, fulfilling what lacks in the fashion system.<br />
<em>Experience. Explore. Enter their world.</em></p>
<p><span style="color: #999999;">Oggi vorremmo parlarvi del London Designers Collective, un collettivo di designers della scena underground londinese lanciato dalle fondatrici del brand REIN, Gemma e Rebecca. Riunendo i brand emergenti più promettenti, il LDC ha lo scopo di veicolare il loro stile, l’esperienza e i consumatori finali sotto un unico tetto organizzando una serie di eventi lampo tra presentazioni e pop-up store. I marchi parte di questo progetto sono dieci, aumentando di fatto di dieci volte il network di clienti e le risorse necessarie per promuoversi: un nuovo concetto di shopping experience che permette al pubblico di acquistare direttamente dal designer, avendo la bellissima opportunità di scoprire immediatamente la sua collezione. </span><span style="color: #999999;">Ne abbiamo selezionati (e incontrati) tre per voi e vi suggeriamo di seguirli e supportarli sui loro canali social!</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"><strong> REIN</strong>, promotore dell’iniziativa, è un marchio londinese dall’anima contemporanea, ispirato dalle donne e per le donne con lo scopo di esaltarne le forme con pezzi unici e sempre accattivanti. <strong>Park&amp;James</strong> è il brand inglese di scarpe femminili che invita ad indossare rigorosamente calzature flat (una vera rivoluzione!), presentando un prodotto su misura dal design ricercato unito al comfort e ad una manifattura tutta italiana. <strong>Conflict Of Ego</strong> è invece dedicato “alle personalità femminili in costante evoluzione” e propone collezioni che affrontano temi socio-politici con attitudine provocatoria.</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"> Dando voce a realtà piccole ed indipendenti, il London Designers Collective propone un nuovo concetto di shopping tutto emergente, basato sulla condivisione di network e know how. Da scoprire.</span><br />
<em><span style="color: #999999;"> Experience. Explore. Enter their world.</span></em></p>

<p>Dear friends, we can’t get tired of a city like London. Some time ago we played a game: we imagined a place that reminded us of home, with an open heart typical of the Italians and a metropolitan soul that you can only find in the most fashionable streets of London. We wanted to challenge the unpredictability of this amazing city and in the core of Spitalfields area we found The Man From Le Marche. TMFLM is a brand-new Italian concept store that sells the essence of being an urban gentleman: there is a resident old school barber, a bespoke tailoring service and a very attentive selection of Italian and English artisanal products such as shoes and leather goods, eyeglasses and clothing. We were so fascinated by this place and the effort taken by founders Michela and Gianluca that we came back for the special launch of <a href="https://www.kirkandkirk.com" target="_blank">Kirk&amp;Kirk</a>’s eyewear collection.<br />
The story of this brand goes back in 1919 with the optics workshop opened by the Kirk’s first generation of opticians. Now it’s been twenty years since Jason and Karen (Kirk, of course) have started running the family company, with an endless passion for eyewear, offering their experience to other companies as design consultants and producers. Now it’s the time of Kirk&amp;Kirk brand, the sum of what they know best: designed in England and produced in France, these silhouettes are realized with a special, high-quality acrylic, mixing tradition and innovation, heritage of the family’s expertise and future. The latest collection, the Kaleidoscope, is an explosion of colours and beauty; vibrant shades and dramatic frames for these eyeglasses that are treated as precious jewels, thanks especially to the wise use of the acrylic that gives them transparency and brilliance.<br />
We loved trying some of the models to see which one suited us best: what a surprise discovering they are incredibly light-weighted and wearable! We realized that we weren’t trying a simple pair of eyeglasses, but a cool accessory to complete our look, leaving our dioptres in the background <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/72x72/1f609.png" alt="😉" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /><br />
So, friends, stop buying boring eyeglasses, join the tradition and don&#8217;t forget to match Kirk&amp;Kirk’s philosophy with the colour of your eyes!</p>
<p><span style="color: #999999;">Cari amici, annoiarsi a Londra è davvero impossibile. Qualche tempo fa abbiamo provato a fare un gioco: abbiamo immaginato un posto che ci ricordasse casa, dal cuore aperto tipico di noi italiani e con un’anima urbana che si può trovare solamente nelle vie più alla moda della capitale inglese. Abbiamo voluto sfidare la sua imprevedibilità e nel cuore dell’area di Spitalfields abbiamo trovato The Man From Le Marche. TMFLM è un nuovissimo concept store tutto italiano in cui risiede la vera, tradizionale essenza del gentleman, con un twist molto urban: potete trovare qui la poltrona da barbiere, un servizio di realizzazione di abiti su misura e una selezione accurata di collezioni artigianali italiane e inglesi, come scarpe e accessori in pelle, occhiali realizzati interamente a mano e abbigliamento. Ci ha colpito così tanto la passione che i fondatori Michela e Gianluca hanno messo nel loro progetto che siamo tornati per il lancio in store di <a href="https://www.kirkandkirk.com" target="_blank">Kirk&amp;Kirk</a>, nuovo eyewear brand inglese creato da Jason e Karen Kirk. La sua storia affonda le radici in un lontano passato, quando – nel 1919 – ha aperto i battenti il primo negozio di ottica della famiglia Kirk. Sono trascorsi molti anni da allora ma la passione e l’amore per l’occhialeria sono stati tramandati di padre in figlio fino ad arrivare a Jason e Karen. Dopo vent’anni di esperienza nella progettazione e produzione di occhiali per conto terzi, i due fratelli lanciano Kirk&amp;Kirk con un’idea chiara: l’occhiale non deve essere un semplice oggetto da indossare all&#8217;occorrenza, ma un complemento imprescindibile del proprio look. Progettati in Inghilterra e prodotti in Francia, ogni silhouette è realizzata con uno speciale materiale acrilico che mescola tradizione e innovazione. L’ultima collezione, chiamata Kaleidoscope, è un’esplosione di colori e bellezza. Tonalità vibranti e tagli originali, che risplendono ancor più come gioielli grazie al sapiente uso dell’acetato che dona trasparenza e brillantezza alle montature.</span> <span style="color: #999999;">Ci siamo divertiti ad indossare praticamente tutti i modelli in store, per trovare quello perfetto per noi. E’ stata una vera sorpresa scoprire la loro incredibile leggerezza e comfort&#8230;ma vi diremo di più: ci siamo resi conto che la miopia non era un problema, l’importante era distinguerci e brillare! <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/72x72/1f609.png" alt="😉" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"> Quindi, amici, mettete da parte i soliti occhiali, sposate la tradizione e non dimenticatevi di intonare la filosofia di Kirk&amp;Kirk al colore dei vostri occhi!</span></p>

<p>Diamonds are girl’s best friends, but how about bags? We believe they have the same importance, considering that they carry our secrets and essentials! So, in these crowded days of LFW, we’re back to London to introduce you the British handbag brand Yuzefi, created by the talented Naza Yuzefi. The peculiarity of each piece is the original design characterised by the knot which, reinvented in its simplicity, gives that added value we all look for when buying a bag. We are totally in love also with the philosophy of the label, because embraces ethical and sustainable practices as well as the choice to work only with British artisans. The materials are carefully chosen at the highest standards in order to provide a long-lasting luxury item with a story behind. The new collection in fact is a re-study of the sack and the bucket, in their ageless versatility. The Noa Bag and the Babel Bag are the results of this translation, with their contrast between hard and soft structure and rich, original craftsmanship. Naza pushes the boundaries of the leather by creating pieces that merge the concepts of solid and fluid, in a result that transcend trends and seasons. The inspirations are multiple: from looking at the past to reimagine the future, to the meanings of freedom and movement, the concept of Yuzefi is a journey that embraces tradition and innovation in a perfect union.<br />
Which one between the Noa Bag and the Babel Bag do you prefer? We totally can picture them together with a minimal, smart-casual outfit: cropped trousers, court shoes with plexiglass block heels, pure white button-up shirt and woollen long vest. The contemporary look of the bags will do the rest!<br />
Did you find the right inspiration for your next shopping session? Yes? Ok, let’s check out the e-shop of the brand (www.yuzefi.com) and be ready to discover a universe of amazing pieces. Follow them also on Facebook and Instagram to be updated on all the latest news!<br />
Yuzefi Bags, “big enough for your essentials that matter, small enough for when you wanna have some fun”. Carry less &lt; Dance more.</p>
<p><span style="color: #999999;">I diamanti sono i migliori amici delle donne, ma che ci dite delle borse? Qui in StyleSwitch crediamo che abbiano la stessa importanza, considerando che custodiscono i nostri segreti più reconditi e che non potremmo mai farne a meno. Oggi quindi torniamo a Londra e – facendoci largo tra le migliaia di fashion addicted, bloggers e operatori del settore accorsi per la LFW – scopriamo per voi il brand di borse inglese Yuzefi, nato dal talento e dalla matita di Naza Yuzefi. L’originalità delle linee e i caratteristici nodi della TOTEM collection sono stati un vero colpo di fulmine: il concetto di semplicità è così reinventato, trasformando ogni creazione in un oggetto unico che racchiude quel valore aggiunto che cerchiamo in fase di shopping. Ci ha appassionato allo stesso tempo la filosofia del brand, che punta sui concetti di produzione etica e sostenibile di altissima qualità, grazie alle collaborazioni esclusive con artigiani locali inglesi, e su processi creativi del tutto innovativi. La nuova collezione, infatti, è uno studio del sacco e dello zaino nella loro versatilità senza tempo: la Noa Bag e la Babel Bag ne sono il risultato, spingendo oltre i limiti i concetti di rigidità e morbidezza delle strutture, solido e fluido, e componendo il tutto attraverso dettagli in metallo dorato. Le ispirazioni, qui, sono molteplici: dallo sguardo al passato per re-immaginare il futuro, ai significati di libertà e movimento, il concept di Yuzefi è un viaggio che abbraccia tradizione e innovazione, trascendendo da tendenze e stagioni.</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"> Quale tra la Noa Bag e la Babel Bag preferite? Noi le immaginiamo con un look smart-casual, molto minimal: pantaloni alla caviglia, scarpe dal tacco squadrato in plexiglass, camicia bianca candida e un lungo gilet di lana. Lo stile contemporaneo delle borse farà il resto! Avete trovato l’ispirazione giusta per la vostra prossima sessione di shopping? Si?! Ottimo, ora dunque non ci resta che dare un’occhiata all’e-shop del brand (www.yuzefi.com) e scovare tutte le ultime news sui suoi account Facebook e Instagram!</span><br />

<p>The writer Carlos Ruiz Zafón said “Barcelona gets into your blood and steals your soul”, and this probably inspired Llorence Fiuxà when founded Med winds in 2011: giving substance and life to its Catalan origins through garments that embody his soul and the multifaceted essence of the Mediterranean coast. Each collection represents an incredible journey of discovery: from Mallorca to Marseille via the Costa Brava, with all their colours and scents. Made in Spain and supported by the work of local artisans, the brand has got the charm of the vintage and retro photos hidden in grandmother’s attic.<br />
For the Fall/Winter 2016-2017, Med winds stops over at the magical Venice, creating a menswear and a womenswear collection inspired by the unique and eternal allure of this city. Along Venice canals, bridges and hidden alleys, capes and coats take shape with all their volumes and heavy fabrics, recalling the Renaissance’s style. Med winds pays tribute to the painter and designer Mariano Fortuny realizing pleated clothes, like the ones the artist conceived, and all-over floral prints declined on dresses and palazzo pants with flowing shapes, that seem to get out of a picture. The ambiguous atmosphere of the Lagoon City, well expressed by film director Luchino Visconti in &#8220;Death in Venice&#8221;, is the background to Med winds men&#8217;s collection inspired by sailor uniforms: jackets with slim lapels and striped knitwear declined in a contemporary <em>ensemble</em>.<br />
The spirit of Med winds leads us to seek and discover new places and stories that we will tell through garments which perfectly embody the Mediterranean lifestyle, and our own lifestyle.<br />
Med winds: never stop exploring &#8211; your origins, your places, your style.</p>
<p><span style="color: #999999;">“Barcellona ti entra nel sangue e ti ruba l’anima” -  Carlos Ruiz Zafón. E proprio questo è accaduto a Llorence Fiuxà quando ha fondato Med winds nel 2011: dare corpo all’amore per le sue origini catalane. Un brand che si nutre dell’essenza sfaccettata del Mediterraneo. Ogni stagione rappresenta nuovo viaggio alla scoperta di luoghi che siano d’ispirazione, con i loro colori e odori: da Maiorca a Marsiglia passando per la Costa Brava. I capi nascono in piccoli laboratori in Spagna, anche grazie a collaborazioni con artigiani locali, e portano con sé quello charme che rintracciamo solo tra le vecchie foto anni ’60 nascoste in scatole impolverate nelle soffitte di casa.</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"> Per la stagione Autunno/Inverno 2016-2017, Med winds ha fatto tappa nella magica Venezia, dando vita a una collezione maschile e femminile che si ispira al suo fascino unico ed eterno. Lungo i canali, i ponti e i vicoli nascosti di una città costruita sulle acque prendono forma cappe e capispalla che ricordano lo stile rinascimentale, con le loro linee ampie e tessuti pesanti come il velluto. Med winds non poteva non rendere onore al pittore e stilista Mariano Fortuny, e lo fa con abiti dall’ampia plissettatura, di cui l’artista spagnolo (naturalizzato italiano) fu l’ideatore. A completare tale omaggio ci pensano le stampe floreali all over, declinate su abiti e pantaloni palazzo dalle forme fluide che paiono uscite da un quadro. L’ambigua atmosfera della città lagunare ben espressa da Luchino Visconti in “La morte a Venezia” fa da sfondo alla collezione maschile di Med winds che s’ispira alle uniformi dei marinai del tempo, con giacche dai baveri sottili e maglieria a righe, declinati al contesto contemporaneo.</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"> Lo spirito del brand spinge alla continua ricerca di nuovi porti cui attraccare, alla scoperta di angoli da raccontare attraverso abiti che sono rappresentazione di un lifestyle tutto mediterraneo, e del nostro lifestyle.</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"> Med winds: never stop exploring &#8211; your origins, your places, your style.</span></p>

<p>New year means a brand new start and great returns, so welcome back “IED + StyleSwitch x Emerging Designers” feature! This collaboration is powered by IED Moda Milano where emerging talents are born and raised, and we want to tell you about all these stories, made of incredibly creative people ready to (or who have already) spread their wings hitting the runways or trade shows around the world.<br />
This time the zoom is on <strong>Casamadre</strong>, womenswear, menswear and footwear brand founded by Alessia Crea and Davide Parisi. “Casa” (“Home”) and “Madre” (“Mother”) are ordinary words with a strong meaning: landmarks and safe harbour of everyone’s life. The combination of them has given life to something really personal. Casamadre represents a world of travellers who blend their identities, passions and values and the result is clothes with a unique identity, that never lose its sense of belonging. The brand’s style is absolutely contemporary, it draws lifeblood from its traditions and at the same time from new emotions. The Fall/Winter 2016-17 collection has got a gipsy mood: land, sea, taste and smell create games of opposites strongly evocative. Decorative and minimal style, superpositions and lightness, black and white, men and woman. An essentiality that has the taste of freedom. Alessia and Davide define themselves as a <em>white sailing boat out at sea, ready to anchor near rocky cliffs</em>: closely linked to their traditions, but with eyes wide open to the future. Let them tell us more of this close relationship, as strong as a sailing knot.</p>
<p><strong>How did you find your passion for fashion?</strong><br />
Alessia: I’ve always had passion for fashion. As soon as I realized that what I loved could have been my job, I committed myself everyday to it.<br />
<strong>Has working in fashion always been your dream?</strong><br />
Davide: Design has always been my prerogative, in fact I studied industrial design and fashion got me over later. I don’t believe there are boundaries between products. I want to describe an idea or image, and through fashion I can express it better.<br />
<strong>Who and what really pushes you to pursue this career?</strong><br />
Alessia: My family wanted me to attend classical studies, such as law or medicine. I have a Law degree that I have put aside when I realized that I have to focus on what I really love. Being a designer is not simply a hobby, like my parents think. It’s a real job that requires all my efforts. So I decided to enroll at IED Moda in Milan and follow my dreams.<br />
<strong>Professional turning point.</strong><br />
David: Our professional turning point was winning Who&#8217;s on Next award in 2013: we won this contest with a collection of shoes inspired by 1930s circus style. This brought us a lot of visibility and challenged us ever since.<br />
<strong>Which are the strengths of your collections?</strong><br />
Alessia: I believe that our strength is the identity of the collections themselves. We try to describe a precise moment, an image or a character and we do it with every detail, colours and material we use.<br />
<strong>What inspired you in the past and what can influence now your work?</strong><br />
Davide: The inspiration comes from stories and characters. Each season we add a chapter to our history. Surely our origins, but also Japanese culture have an important role in our work.<br />
<strong>How about future projects?</strong><br />
David: We worked with the Lanificio F.lli Cerruti and we have new projects in the pipeline. We are working at a tailoring project and we will have news about our products thanks to important collaboration with Italian excellences.<br />
<strong>Describe your IED – Milan experience and how it has artistically influenced your growth as designers.</strong><br />
Alessia: IED gave me the tools I needed to enter the fashion world, and at the same time it helped me to understand what my strengths were and which weaknesses I had to work on. At the end of the third year I start searching for an image and a feeling that I wanted to share with people and it is still the same as it was.</p>
<p><span style="color: #999999;">Nuovo anno significa nuovi inizi e grandi ritorni, per questo diamo il bentornato alla rubrica “IED + StyleSwitch x Emerging Designers”, pronta a raccontarvi storie di moda che nascono tra le mura di IED Milano, istituto internazionale di matrice completamente italiana. Un ritorno, questo, accompagnato dal desiderio di continuare a scoprire e conoscere da vicino talenti emergenti, che si sono già affacciati sulle passerelle o in fiere internazionali, o che sono pronti a farlo.</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"> Senza troppi giri di parole, lasciamo che i riflettori si accendano su<strong> Casamadre</strong>.</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"> “Casa” e “Madre” sono due parole piuttosto comuni, ma dal significato molto profondo: rappresentano i punti di riferimento di una vita, l’approdo sicuro che ci portiamo sempre nel cuore. Il fondatori del brand, Alessia Crea e Davide Parisi, hanno unito questi due termini per dare vita a qualcosa di davvero personale. Casamadre è il brand di abbigliamento e footwear maschile e femminile rappresentato da un mondo di viaggiatori che si incontrano e mescolano le proprie identità, passioni e valori per dar vita a capi che possiedono un’unicità tale da non perdere mai il proprio senso di appartenenza. Uno stile, quello di Alessia e Davide, assolutamente contemporaneo, che trae linfa vitale dalle proprie tradizioni e allo stesso tempo da un grande bisogno di nuove emozioni. La collezione Autunno/Inverno 2016-17 ha un mood gitano: terra, mare, sapori e odori si incrociano creando giochi di opposizioni fortemente evocativi. Decorativismo e minimalismo, sovrapposizioni e leggerezze, bianco e nero, uomo e donna. Un’essenzialità che ha il gusto di libertà. Alessia e Davide si definiscono come una <em>barca a vela bianca pronta ad attraccare vicino ad una scogliera rocciosa:</em> strettamente legati alle loro tradizioni, ma con gli occhi ben aperti verso il futuro, lasciamo che siano loro a raccontarci qualcosa di più di questo legame stretto come quello di un nodo da marinaio.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #999999;"><strong>Com&#8217;è nata la vostra passione per la moda e da cosa è stata alimentata?</strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"> Alessia: ho sempre avuto una passione per la moda, capire che ciò che amavo poteva diventare il mio lavoro concretamente mi ha spinta a impegnarmi ogni giorno.</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"> <strong>Avete sempre voluto che fosse il vostro lavoro?</strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"> David: Sapevo che il design era la mia strada, ho studiato industrial design e la moda mi ha conquistato in un secondo momento. Credo non esista un confine fra un prodotto ed un altro, mi piace raccontare un&#8217;idea o un&#8217;immagine e attraverso la moda riesco ad esprimermi al meglio.</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"> <strong>Da chi e cosa principalmente siete stati spinti a perseguire questa carriera e quali sono stati gli eventi scatenanti che vi hanno convinto che questa fosse la vostra strada?</strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"> Alessia: Provengo da una famiglia dove si prediligono percorsi classici (per es. giurisprudenza o medicina), io stessa ho una laurea in scienze giuridiche che ho messo da parte, rendendomi conto che dovevo concentrare la mia attenzione su ciò che mi interessava davvero. Sapevo che disegnare e creare abiti non era un semplice hobby conciliabile con l&#8217;università, come riteneva la mia famiglia, ma un lavoro vero e proprio e uno studio che richiedeva tutto il mio impegno. Così ho deciso di non proseguire con la laurea specialistica, ma di iscrivermi allo IED di Milano e seguire la mia strada.</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"> <strong>Momento professionale di svolta</strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"> David: Il momento di svolta più importante è stato la vittoria del concorso Who&#8217;s on Next. Nel 2013 abbiamo vinto il concorso di Vogue Italia per giovani talenti con una collezione di scarpe ispirata al circo anni &#8217;30. Questo momento ci ha portato molta visibilità e ci ha messo alla prova ogni giorno fino ad oggi.</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"> <strong>Quali sono i punti di forza delle vostre collezioni?</strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"> Alessia: Noi cerchiamo di raccontare un momento preciso, un&#8217;immagine o un personaggio e lo facciamo in ogni dettaglio, colore e materiale. Credo che il nostro punto di forza sia l&#8217;identità.</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"> <strong>Cosa vi ha ispirato in passato (natura, persone, oggetti, viaggi) per realizzare le collezioni e cosa attualmente credete possa influenzare il vostro lavoro futuro?</strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"> David: L&#8217;ispirazione proviene da storie e da personaggi. Sicuramente le nostre origini, ma anche la cultura giapponese hanno un forte influsso sul nostro lavoro. Ogni stagione aggiungiamo un capitolo alla nostra storia.</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"> <strong>Progetti futuri</strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"> David: un progetto sartoriale e tante novità sul prodotto grazie ad alcune collaborazioni con eccellenze italiane. Abbiamo collaborato con il Lanificio f.lli Cerruti e abbiamo in cantiere tanti nuovi progetti.</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"> <strong>Descrivete la vostra esperienza formativa in IED Milano e come ha influito artisticamente sulla vostra crescita come designer</strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"> Alessia: Lo IED è stato fondamentale mi ha dato gli strumenti di cui avevo bisogno per entrare nel mondo del lavoro oltre ad aver compreso quali fossero i miei punti di forza e le mie carenze su cui lavorare. Mi sono concentrata alla fine al terzo anno a ricercare un&#8217;immagine ed una sensazione che volevo raccontare ed ancora è la stessa nella quale mi ritrovo.</span></p>

<p>Let’s go somewhere far away from the crowded and cold London today. We are going to bring you in a warm and exotic place, where to breath Ancient history at every step. While being brushed by the golden light of the sun reflecting on the Pyramids, have a look at Okhtein, a brand new bag and accessory brand that we have met during the past London Fashion Week.<br />
Siblings Aya and Mounaz Abdelraouf launched Okhtein (meaning “sisters” in Arabic) in 2013, out of the desire to realise something unique in order to bring fashion and luxury back in their Country, promoting local artisanship and made in Egypt manufacturing. In love with fashion and with a background in art, marketing and media, they decided to set up their business keeping the core of the design process in Cairo. The ultra-local manufacturing is studied to help also the local community: Okhtein collaborates with many NGOs in order to support skilled female workers.<br />
One of their most recent collaborations is with Egypt’s oldest, most exclusive fine jewelry firm, Select Jewelry. The result of this partnership is a collection inspired by the trends from the ‘90s, pictured in timeless polaroids: from lambskin chokers —we so much love them!—, to golden necklaces and bracelets and bobby-pin earrings. The minimal look and contemporary mood of this collection literally caught us amazed!<br />
Talking about Okhtein handbags, Aya and Mounaz throw us back again in the &#8217;90s and in their childhood with Future Nostalgia capsule collection, by featuring some of the most iconic cartoon characters of that time on them: colorful, quirky prints and a pop-style allure that made us say WOW! The main collection is at the same time so appealing and extremely original: did you spot the Palmette Flower leather backpack being featured on Elle Spain, Teen Vogue and People Magazine?! It has also been chosen by celebrities like Emma Watson to complete their look!<br />
We find these designers truly motivating because of their commitment to combine innovation in art and high craftsmanship, sustaining their community; we would like you to feel inspired too: read this amazing journey on Okhtein’s blog (https://www.okhtein.com/blog/) and follow all their updates on Facebook and Instagram.<br />
Embrace the difference you want to see in your world!</p>
<p><span style="color: #999999;">Oggi vi portiamo lontano dalla fredda e affollata Londra. Andiamo insieme in un posto caldo ed esotico, dove respirare e sentir parlare di una storia che affonda le radici nel passato. Immaginate di essere accarezzati dai raggi dorati del sole egiziano che si riflettono sulle piramidi, e di ascoltare il racconto di due sorelle, Aya e Mounaz Abdelraouf, che narra di Okhtein…</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"> Okhtein, “sorelle” in arabo, è il brand emergente di borse ed accessori che abbiamo incontrato all’ultima London Fashion Week! <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/72x72/1f609.png" alt="😉" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> Le sorelle Abdelraouf fondano l’etichetta nel 2013, dal desiderio di realizzare qualcosa di unico e reintrodurre il lusso nella moda egiziana, promuovendo l’artigianalità locale e il Made in Egypt. Innamorate del fashion e con un background artistico, marketing e media, decidono di fondare l’azienda mantenendo il quartier generale a Il Cairo. La produzione, tutta sul territorio, è studiata in modo da supportare anche la comunità nativa: Okhtein collabora con svariate ONG che aiutano la manodopera femminile e si propongono di dare continuità alla manifattura egiziana.</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"> Diverse le collaborazioni. Tra le più recenti emerge quella con Select Jewelry, azienda antica e rinomata nell’ambito del gioiello d’Egitto. Il risultato è una collezione ispirata ai trend in pieno stile anni ’90, immortalata in intramontabili polaroid, in cui potrete trovare accessori che vi riporteranno indietro nel tempo: dai girocollo in pelle d’agnello — noi li adoriamo! —, alle collane e braccialetti dorati, agli orecchini a pendente. La semplicità dei bijoux unita ad un twist contemporaneo ci ha rapito!</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"> Allo stesso modo lo stile pop delle borse Okhtein, con la capsule collection Future Nostalgia, ci ha fatto letteralmente tornare di nuovo negli anni ’90 e ai ricordi dell&#8217;infanzia di Aya e Mounaz: una collezione caratterizzata da coloratissime stampe e cartoon che non e&#8217; passata inosservata! Non e&#8217; passata inosservata neanche la main collection, che ha visto protagonista lo zainetto in pelle Palmette Flower: incluso negli editoriali di magazines di mezzo mondo, da Elle Spain a Teen Vogue e People Magazine, e&#8217; stato anche indossato da celebrities del calibro di Emma Watson, a complemento dei loro outfit.</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"> Abbiamo trovato le due designers davvero motivanti per l’impegno costante che dedicano alla loro arte, fatta di ricerca e innovazione, insieme al sostegno della comunità locale egiziana e della sua artigianalità. Ci auguriamo che vi siate sentiti ispirati quanto noi: per saperne di più, date un occhio ai post del <a href="https://www.okhtein.com/blog/" target="_blank">blog</a> di Okhtein e per tutti gli updates seguite le pagine social del brand, costantemente aggiornate con le ultime news, collezioni e collaborazioni.</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"> Abbracciate il cambiamento che volete vedere nel vostro mondo!</span></p>
