THE FASHION STORY OF A BEATLE BY STELLA McCARTNEY

There is a fluid line between the casuals and high elegance. Seems like Stella McCartney has that design guiding line every time she creates her collections. The synchronized connection between these two highlights is definitely something that has been the trademark of Stella Mccartney´s creative passion. The elegance of the nonpretentious codes collaborated with the luxurious yet nature and eco-friendly accents are something that has become a constant thing in McCartney style and that makes any collection by Stella McCartney simply stunning and fresh.

The same visual vibe we were getting from her latest Pre-Fall 2019 collection. With the sweet reminiscence of the famous Beatles times, she has taken that "archaic" and "vintage" kind of spirit and has brought it into the new light of the contemporary elegance. The soft tweed solutions in the fabrics looked so light and tactile, just like the first look of the collection shows. The grey accents with the light material in the conglomerate ensemble alluring the mixture of the stylish trenchcoat and the casual dress counts for the impeccable quotidian style choice.

The perfection was definitely in the dresses following along. Here the coloristic choice was far more vibrant and vivid. The tangerine orange one with the mini ruffles cascading falling has definitely the festivity in the visual sense but in the textured sense, too! Or the lemon yellow one with the slightly robust knitting surface. With the fringes on the top and on the sleeves just to "blur" the perfection and the monochromatic nature of it all. The little "Glitz and Glatz" spirit was caught with the more glamorous edition of the dresses. The shiny embellishments in the silver and black, or the chiffon one, have offered definitely the more elegant variation of Stella McCartney style that has been inspired by the famous times of The Beatles.

There is definitely something nostalgic in this collection, for sure. The silhouette that was so loosed up alluring the modern hippy vibes, the faux fur ensembles with the flared trousers and cozy jacket on the top, the smart tailored "Smoking" or the mini-dresses that looked very retro and story-telling but yet so new and fresh. Like the sculpted dresses that have had the geometric feel to it but paired with the edgy accessories like the platforms and oval mini-bags, they seemed so fresh and so new. And that is the feeling that Stella McCartney wanted to capture in this collection. And she did it, successfully, in her own way!

THE RE-DEFINITION OF FASHION CLASSICS BY MOSCHINO

For Jeremy Scott, the fashion is like the playground with a multitude of visual and design solutions. With the heterogenic orientations that have the same background in the refining and filtering the phenomenon of the pop and urban culture, his collections are the simulacrum of the edgiest and so avant-garde looks that are exciting and full of visual telling but still so classic and in some fresh and unique way elegant and popular. The playful note in the Jeremy Scott is definitely that is on-the-go if we see the collections for Moschino. The not-so-serious approach is something that here is a must but still developed in the medium of the mainstream fashion codes that any fashion fans likes and adores.

Nothing less in that kind of sense was the latest collection by Moschino. The themes that in the almost theatrical and full-story-telling mode were saturated were presented here but with the step further in the past. The theme of urban and pop culture was mixed with the ancient Roman theme that in the Jeremy Scott vision was brought with the dose of respectful irony serving us the most gorgeous pieces. With the ultra-boosted and exaggerated hype of Ancient Roman history that was an additional part in the accessories case, the urban and pop approach was in the clothes.

From the well-cut coat in the A-form has featured the big red bow around the waist falling like the cape on the back. This uber-proportion of one item was definitely the highlight that was presented throughout the whole collection, on the hair for example or ultra-big earrings. This just shows the aesthetic approach of Jeremy Scott, his tendency to go with the over-board with the little features breaking down like that the expecting factor of the already known. And his skill to stay on the horizon of the classic fashion mainstream that is still wearable.

For example, the one-shouldered sleek silhouetted satin red dress is definitely one item that is considered to be on the classic side of the horizon but if you break that already known code with the unexpected item like the shield alike corset on the top of it, you get a totally new concept of the design. And that is what makes the design from Moschino so exciting and playful with the aesthetic that anyone could relate to. On the same level but with the rock-chic touch were the other ensembles, like the all-black interluded with the golden prints two-piece one made from an edgy variation of the cocktail dress paired with the same jacket on the top. Or another by the racing-inspired attire, the multi-printed mini-dress with the ruffled bow on the skirt and short jacket in the same print story.

This all was more daily versions of the collections. The night versions were in the very glamorous niche with the feathers and fringes attached on the long or mini dresses in the mannerism of Big Gatsby. Now and there were also typical Moschino looks, like dark Barbie the black dress with the crinoline bare construction on the top of the skirt. Or the pure rock vibe in pencil trousers and blazer in the same vibe with the long cape, again, just for the edgy drama addition. The final look could sum up what this collection was all about. The high elegant midi-dress paired with the casual sports jacket and shiny long leather hand glows. Edgy, classy, modern.

What do you think about this collection? Do you like the aesthetic of Moschino that is playful and edgy? Which look do you like the most from this collection?

THE STYLE VITAMIN CAPSULE BY EMILIO PUCCI

For the fashion house Emilio Pucci, the prints are more than just prints. The ultimate aesthetic of this fashion house has been built around the exciting story with the vibrant and happy prints around it. The more colors the better. That is the epitome of Pucci style. If you add to all of that the flare and loosed up but so chic silhouettes and cuts, you get the most gorgeous style and design with the pulsing edge. The same story was caught in the latest Pre-Fall 2019 collection. Fresh, youthful and yet so classy! These attributes could be just a few of the flattering nature of the current Pucci vibe!

Of course, at the first glimpse at the collection the prints, are everywhere to be seen. Just this time the geometric forms were missing in the addition to the more fluid and soft motifs. The first look tells a lot of the collection and the nature of it. Here we have the long plissé skirt with aquarelle alike logos of Pucci. The gentleness of the marine blue sets the soft undertone that goes amazingly with the half-turtleneck alike blouse in violet with the silver strings embroidered in it. The glitzy fisherman´s hat in azure blue sets the maritime theme that was just one of the many inspirations for this collection.

The edgier and dazzled was the combination of the nylon textured mini-dress with the flowy blouses on the top with the typical Pucci prints. The pastel coloristic nature was there just to lighten up the whole ensemble giving it the modern/vintage spin. The sleek and outstanding elegance was held in the sharp silhouetted variation of "Le Smoking" with vertical black stripes on the display of baby-pink. The double-wrapped silky scarf on the neck was there to give the Pucci elegant note to this rather serious ensemble.

The one thing that is the pure perfection, is definitely the dresses. They look very playful and in such a 60-s element with the vibrant pulsing prints´ game. They have come in the very sharp, pencil alike mode or more loosed up variation in the form sense. The more casual theme, that has been a must lately for any designer, was the nautic jacket in lavender and white shorts underneath or the simple A-formed coat in tangerine orange with the same casual combination made from shorts and white blouse underneath. The chic but approachable elegance was hit with the kitten-heels in the pastel chromatic range. This has only kept the whole vibe of the collection at the same level.

And that level would be the quotidian elegance that is exciting, brilliant and smart but still so approachable, so classy, modern and highlighted with the multi-purpose. From walking on the beach, strolling around the city or simply going to the office. In this collection, all of that looks so fresh, inspiring and energetic! So, if you want to give your wardrobe a "vitamin boost" this is definitely a collection for you!

What do you think about this collection? Do you like the prints by Pucci and the elegance of their design? Which outfit do you like the most here?

SOMETHING NEW AND SOMETHING OLD BY JUST CAVALLI

If you have been following the work by Paul Surridge for Roberto Cavalli, you could notice a different kind of aesthetic that is more assertive, more toned down, more on the modern and urban side of the design spectrum. And these heterogenic vibes are definitely a fresh attitude, for sure! Not that original Roberto Cavalli aesthetic was wrong. Fashion as the medium that is on the constant change, but the new design vision brought by this British creative director is something that makes Cavalli label more exciting and fresh.

Seems like the same design approach was used for Just Cavalli, the modern and youthful label by Roberto Cavalli. Even here the visual standards were toned down in the area of the pure classic with some interruptions brought by the key IT pieces, like the "ugly sneakers" or big prints. With the more refined tones in the cuts mixed with the fluent casuals and high defined elegance, this collection is definitely far from the usual Just Cavalli mode and by that, I mean rock-chic, high-seductive ensembles boosted by the rebellious kind of art. No, in this collection all of that was translated into the more urban and quotidian spin with the still much exciting visuals that were kept the true Cavalli DNA!

Those similarities were definitely in the vibrant and bold prints. The variation of them in the animal or tropic prints have allured definitely the standard Cavalli visual trademark and that is what makes the work by Paul Serridge here so amazing and brilliant. The design story is fresh and new but the known visual features are kept but in the totally new items, like the wide cut blazer and bicycle pants, cozy cashmere midi dresses in the flowy art, the one-monochrome coats, or the biker-inspired leather jacket with wide shoulders and ruffled skirt underneath. The homage was kept in the zebra printed pointy high boots, statement and bold "Just Cavalli" print on the T-shirts, fringes and animalistic motives on the fabrics.

All of that has brought the new aesthetic in the Just Cavalli brand. With the re-definition of the famous prints on the totally new spirit and the totally new ensembles and looks that are more low key and on the cool side of the fashion. This collection has still that bursting of Cavalli design with the totally new edition. More likable for everyone not just oriented on the edgy nature of red carpets. Sometimes less is more, and Paul Surridge has definitely been showing us that in the most perfect fashionable way!

What do you think about this collection? Do you like this new aesthetic of Cavalli design? Which ensemble do you like the most?

Thank you for the attention!
