mongrels in common ­ Fall/Winter 2013‏

The mongrels in common collection for fall/winter 2013 is named “Marlene Dietrich on the Road with a Gaucho” and I'm pretty sure that Marlene would have loved it. Masculine elegance meets sporty biker details - a modern interpretation of the Marlene Dietrich look. The designers Livia Ximénez-Carrillo and Christine Pluess dress Marlene Dietrich in a simple smoking dress, blazer with smoking lapel or a biker coat with coppery zipper details at the sleeves and stitched fake leather. This season volume is at the top combined with skinny biker pants and neoprene like pencil skirts. Also the collarless olive gaucho coat with big attached pockets looks best with a skinny silhouette. The classic silk blouse has been developed further into gaucho shirt-blouses and loose fitting poncho blouses with camouflageesque prints. Here are photos from the lookbook.

Burberry Guests at the Metropolitan Museum of Art 2013 Costume Insitute Gala‏

Burberry hosted a table at the Metropolitan Museum of Art 2013 Costume Institute Gala in New York last week.

As part of the Punk: Chaos to Couture exhibition, Burberry is showcasing a studded leather jacket, lace dress and studded leather shoes specially designed by Burberry Chief Creative Officer Christopher Bailey.

Y-3 S/S 13 Interactive Film

In 2013 adidas and Yohji Yamamoto celebrate ten years of Y-3, a collaboration based on seeming opposites combining adidas' sports technology and Yohji Yamamoto's design aesthetic. The communication campaign for Spring/Summer 2013 captures the essence of Y-3, led by photographer and director Pierre Debusschere, it explores the partnership of the opposed - the transmission of ideas from the two worlds of Japan and Germany. The accompanying campaign film is a study of movement, distortion and transformation. Through a cutting edge interactive online interface located on the Y-3 website, the user will be able to engage with the video content and through manipulation of sound and image will compose their own audio-visual piece of art in real-time. All at the fingertips of the composer, the film pieces are distorted and deconstructed, mirrored and stretched, echoed and multiplied in kaleidoscopic patterns. Simultaneously the ambient music transforms within the synthetic experience. Y-3 commissioned Tim Hecker, noted as one of the most preeminent figures currently making ambient music, to compose an original work exclusively for the Spring/Summer 2013 interactive video. By incorporating the audio-visual arrangements ACNE, Y-3's digital lead agency, conceptualized and crafted responsive, dynamic effects and created the full experience. While choosing the film clips and experimenting with the audio-visual effects the composition can be recorded and shared online. The result is always unique and unexpected.

Julian Zigerli Fall/Winter 2013

Julian Zigerli's fall/winter 2013 collection 'Happy Tears' has been inspired by the tears of joy that put us into a state of bliss. It feels like coming home, we feel safe and can free us of all tenseness and release our emotions. This contrast between restriction and release is reflected in the materials and prints as well as the colours of the collection. The lively colour selection and unique prints support the feeling of strength, relief and commotion. Additionally the Swiss designer optimizes the wearability and functionality of the collection by using high quality materials in combination with practical details.
