FASHION BACKSTAGE-ING BY NINA RICCI

The Pre-Fall collections which are usually released and presented just a few weeks before the Haute Couture Fashion Week in Paris (which starts this year on the January, 21). That is why the majority of the fashion houses and labels bring them in the form of the editorials. These editorials are really a curation worthy. Some of them have a deep and relevant story in the background making the harmonic collision with the clothes and ensembles. And some of them have more simple and minimalistic story to tell, focusing on the fashion letting the fashion speaks for itself.

The latest Pre-Fall 2018 Collection by Nina Ricci has been imagined just like the first above mentioned concept. With the story-telling display of the editorial which bares "behind-the-scene or backstage" vibe, this collection has shown the perfect connection between the fashion and the fashion photography or at least the capacity of the fashion to tell a story. With the "Rock Star Roh-bau" concept of this editorial with the accents after the show and concert, this collection has served the chic and rock style with the cool and Hitchcock-y cold femme fatale beauty.

But let us talk about the fashion! The mixture of the vibrant colors of the red, pink and violet, as well as the much-moderated ones like the beige, grey and mocha white, have created the bipolar toned style. At the one side the high glamorous "rock-star worthy" one with the vinyl shiny textures, the clean and polished silhouettes of the jackets and female suits giving the corporative and serious whisps to the edgy and playful nature. The long dresses in the combination of the chic cowboy boots give that ultra feminine touch with the secure and conscious wardrobe approach. Or the urban twist with the high waisted denim trousers combined with the ultra-romantic top.

This collection has so many facets and visual textures. Although at the first gasp and sight it illuminates the classic and conventional style, when we see it more closely and carefully we will notice and see the codes of the modern style with the fusion of the different visual accents, whether in the fashion, music or in photography sense! It shows how fashion design communicates and to us, the fashion recipients that is the most beautiful and astonishing thing in this whole story!

Do you like this collection? Which item or ensemble do you like the most? What do you think about the colors and textures?

Thank you for the attention!
