This week we would like to be your guide to the store as if it were another stop on a sight-seeing trip through the charming streets of the historic centre of Padua.
Read MoreA 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.
Read MoreAfter many years working in stores, it still happens that someone stops by with a bewildered expression and asks the same fateful question:
So, what’s in style this year?
A professional, objective response could be to give a broad overview of the season’s trends…like:
stylists say no to the crisis, calling on women to courageously assert their femininity without renouncing the pleasures of luxury, as can be seen in the opulent sequin-covered jackets or leather pants hanging here…
or, the opposite:
the crisis is forcing women to be more modest, serious, and attentive to small everyday things, so here’s a multi-use jacket and top, with a touch of femininity in the key details, like staggeringly high heels and strictly above-the-knee lengths.
But, “we are what we eat”; and the only possible response from a space which feeds on research and clothing that effectively satisfies an independent-minded aesthetic is the following:
You know, I don’t know! I could tell them about this winter’s flights of fantasy and inspirations by Rei Kawakubo-Comme des Garçons;
or about the cuts created by Yohji Yamamoto‘s sartorial musings;
or about Issey Miyake‘s textile experiments;
or if they prefer, I could help them discover the reversibility of every article of clothing by Daniela Gregis.
Otherwise, I could show them the extraordinary cashmere colours made possible by a recent innovation in knitting technology…
…you are right, I am getting off track, but I feel underprepared to describe the trends for autumn-winter 2013-2014, I’m so sorry…
