Haider Ackermann

One of the Antwerp’s brightest young stars, Haider Ackermann has seen many more ports than the fronting the town in which he now lives and work. Born in Santa Fe de Bogota, Colombia in 1971, he was adopted by a French family. Due to his father’s business obligations, he spend his childhood moving around the globe. After living in Ethiopia, Chad, France, Algeria and the Netherlands, he decided fashion was his vocation.

High school finished, he left home in 1994, and headed for Belgium to study at the fashion department of Antwerp’s Royal Academy. During his three years stay (he left the four-year course prematurely because of financial difficulties) , he also worked as an intern at John Galiano’s Paris office. Taking a job as an assistant to his former academy teacher Wim Neels in 1998, he worked on both men’s and womenwear collection of the Belgian designer. After saving money and taking encouragement from his friends and acquaintances -among them Raf Simons – Ackermann finally took the plunge and presented his first, self-financed women’s collection in Paris for Autumn/Winter 2002. His subtle, dignified and sensuous clothes immediately struck a chord with buyers and editors, as they did with Italian leather manufacturer Ruffo.

Just two weeks after his debut show, Ackermann was hired as the head designer for Ruffo Research and commissioned to create two collections Spring/Summer 2003 and Autumn/Winter 2003. while continuing to produce his own line. Ackermann in now receiving even wider acclaim, not least in the form of the prestigious Swiss textiles awards at he 2004 grand fashion festival. These are modern clothes for strong women who love the subtle color palette that adds to Ackermann’s seasonal collection.

I really admire his style , his layering, his tailoring. has unique vision about clothes, fluid style, but sometimes also stretchy perfect fitting. The textile are amazing sometimes the pallet color two down two earth (the colors of earth actually), but still i would like to see from him in the future more colors. I am wondering how it will look his tailoring, and his over layers of clothes with maxi belts, and many details on strong shiny colors?

Bloody Oxblood

On of the article that i liked from Stachel was about burgundy color.

I have to admit for spring and fall burgundy color, or Bordeaux, or bloody oxblood how is called this days is very sexy, strong powerful color. It confers power, attitude, confidence and sensuality. We will see some pictures who confirm all that.

This strong color is really impressive, hit the eye right away. Also offer class and elegance when you want, can be chic and modern but also in the time elegant and conservatism, not every color can do that… I think will be present more on the catwalk in the future seasons, through his versatile look. You can show it in many types of fashion, maybe also accessories like belts and bags, and also jewelry.

Fur looks absolutely amazing in this color… Bloody oxblood on fur its without precedent. Wonderful tones of bloody oxblood from fur to leather is the definition of fashion. I think nothing look more sexy, powerful, classy and trendy then this…

From vintage to modern style this color overtake many other colors placed them in shadow… You can not play so much with other colors, transform them in everything you want. What its even more cool, is that you can use this color to any age you want. A 18 year old can wear chic Grinch style or a 60 year old classic long coats, or fur. Everybody fit in this color. You can never dress a 60 year old in neon colors right? But in bloody oxblood you can do the impossible.

Looks really great this bloody oxblood color right?

Crazy Fashion

Here is some design beyound our imagines, they look more like maked from an Alien designer

The designers imagination its unlimited full of ideas and creativity…let’s see some example…

If you also like crazy fashion, crazy designs and outfits let’s watch toghether a few master piece..

From Sarah Volpi

Iris Van Herpen

Iris van Herpen was invited to present a retrospective of her poetic experimental work from her “Crystallization Collection”. She worked around a concept of the transformation of liquid into crystals. The volumes and materials are more about art performances and sculptures than wearable outfits like a skeleton dress to a water spray mini-dress. Her work is very organically inspired and reminds me of Alexander McQueen or Hussein Chalayan’s most conceptual work. I see a great potential in this young fashion designer, but would like to see how she transcribes her research into commercially viable clothing.

Azzedine Alaia

Azzedine Alaia’s place in the design hall of fame is guaranteed - his signature being the second skin that he creates when challenging the boundaries of flesh and fabric. Alaia was born in Tunisia in the ’40 s to wheat-farming parents. A French friend of his mother’s fed Alaia’s instinctive creativity with copies of Vogue and lied about his age to get him into the local Ecole des Beux-Arts to study sculpture – a discipline in which he didn’t excel , but that he would put to good use in the future.

After spotting an ad for a vacancy at a dressmaker’s, Alaia’s sister taught him to sew and he started making copies of couture dresses for neighbors. Soon afterwards, he went to Paris to work for Christiane Dior, but managed only five days of sewing labels before being fired. Alaia moved to Guy Laroche, where for two seasons he learned his craft while earning his keep as housekeeper to the Marquise de Mazan. In 1960, the Blegiers family snapped up Alaia, and for the next for years both housekeeper and dressmaker to the Countess and her friends, mixing with glamorous Paris society. His first ready-to-wear collection for Charles Jourdan in the 70′s was not well received, but eventually fashion editors tuned in to Alaia’s modern elegance. Worldwide success followed with exhibitions, awards, supermodel disciples and the power to command an audience outside of the catwalk schedule: Alaia’s shows when he wants, regardless of the round of timetabled international fashion weeks, and editors never miss it. In 1998, he published a book with a solo exhibition at the New York Guggenheim. In October 2004, he opened his own hotel (5 ruede Moussy) adjoining the Alaia headquarters in Paris. The headquarters also house an exhibition space that has been showing work by fashion and furniture designers such as Paul Poiret and Shiro Kuramata as well as several photo exhibition since 2004. After a seven year long successful and positive partnership with the Prada group, Alaia joined forces with the Richemont group in 2007. Azzedine Alaia was named Chevalier de la Legion d’honneur by the French government in 2008.

Giorgio Armani

Now in his fifth decade of working in fashion, Giorgio Armani is more than just a designer -he’s an institute, an icon and a multinational billion dollar brand. Armani was born in 1934 in Piacenza, Northern Italy. He spent his formative years not in fashion but studying medicine at university and completing the national service. After working as a buyer for Milanese department store la Rinascente, he scored his first break in 1964, when he hired by Nino Cerruti to design a menswear line, Hitman.

Several years as a successful freelance designer followed, but it was in 1975 that the Giorgio Armani label was set up, with the help of his bussiness partner Sergio Galeotti. Armani’s signature “unstructured” jackets for both men and women (a women wear line was established in 1976) knocked the stuffing out of traditional tailoring and, from the late ’70 his clothes become a uniform for the upwardly mobile. Men loved his relaxed suits and muted colour palette of neutral beige and greys.

His design for women, meanwhile, were admired for a androgynous and modern elegance. Richard Gere’s suits in “American Gigolo (1980) ” were a landmark for the designer, as was featuring on the cover of “Times” magazine in 1982. The brand now encompasses six major fashion lines and has diversified into bedlinen, chocolates and even hotels.

From 2000, his designs have been exhibited in a major retrospective show that has traveled worldwide. Armani has also picked us a dedicated Hollywood following, and January 2005 saw the launch in Paris of Giorgio Armani Prive, an haute-couture like collection. In February 2009, Amani opened a flagship store on Fifth Avenue, New York, at the height of a global recession. With David Beckham sporting Armani undies on a billboard near you, it’s safe bet that the world Armani, from bedroom to beyond, will continue to increase its global stature with quiet confidence, which in turn helps his personal projects for disadvantaged children in the global AIDS campaign.

Fendi – Silvia Venturini Fendi

Fendi is a house of extremes: big furs and little handbags, a family business with a worldwide reputation, a chic past and a street cool future.

Established in 1925, the Fendi empire was founded by Adele Fendi from a small leather-goods shop and workroom in Rome, where she and her husband, Eduardo, worked with private clients.

The family business expanded with the opening of a larger shop in 1946, but it wasn’t until the death of Eduardo, eight years later, that the modern Fendi image emerged, when the family’s five daughthers injected the little company with some youthful glamour.

After the death of Adele in 1978, each sister adopted a corner of the empire to look after. Paola (born in 1931) worked with the furs. Anna (born in 1933) the leather goods, Franca (born in 1935) the customer relations, Carla (born in 1937) the business co-ordinator, and Alda (born in 1940) the sales.

By the end of 80 ‘s the name of Fendi had become shorthand for jet-set elitist luxury, thanks to its signature furs and instantly recognisable double F logo. The politically correct 90′s and so the Baguette bag was reborn and Fendi’s star was in the ascedant yet again.

Admin the late ’90s appetite for baroque excess , LVMH eventually becoming the sole partner in 2011. But Fendi is still very much a family business. The future lies with Silvia Venturini Fendi (born in 1960 , the daughter of Anna Fendi), who created the Fendissime line in 1987 and is now head of designer of fendi accesories. Karl Lagerfeld, as Creative Director, continues to work with the sisters as he has done since 1965.
