IVO MILAN – Radical Fashion Blog

Fall/Winter 2013-’14…proposals!

A week after the Milan Fashion Week and the Paris Fashion Week, we are finally back with an appointment with our tutor Sari and her brand new combinations working beyond the catalogue.

Some support to help you to discover alternative solutions to what you have already seen of autumn/winter 2013-’14. Get to know the articles of clothing from another perspective and especially, see how they take on a life of their own in the beauty of their movement!

A piece of advice? Take your time to look closer. You will find the links to each individual article, where you can enlarge the images and follow those cuts, the stitching and fabrics that deserve closer inspection. On their own, they can explain how sometimes, the inventiveness and audacity of certain creations are only hidden from the superficiality of an inattentive eye.
