Lena Hoschek

You´re attention loving? Well, you'll be attention getting! Wearing Lena Hoschek places you directly into the spotlight of the ultra feminine. After assisting Vivienne Westwood at her London studio, Lena Hoschek started her own label in 2006 at the age of 24. Her collections do not follow trends or the general conception of ‘cool’, they are simply a reflection of what has fascinated her since her childhood: the female ideal of the 40s and 50s, craftsmanship, high-end tailoring, traditional materials and patterns but also rock 'n’ roll and punk music, tattoos, bad guys and fast cars. Celebrating the erotics of the Pin-up who didn’t take themselves too seriously, Lena Hoschek’s clothes are made for all the Sophia Lorens and Marilyns of today. Lena Hoschek’s collections take you back to times when women were real women and men were real men. I bet, when designing, she secretly dreams of Rhett Butler.

Must Have : BARK

Bark è un marchio giovane, "Made in Italy" , nato nel 2011, che in pochissimo tempo si è imposto a livello Internazionale

Il brand italiano deriva il suo nome dalla sua stessa filosofia, che è quella di celebrare la propria identità ad alta voce (to bark) e di contribuire alla creazione di uno stile personale che è segno di carattere e modernità.
Bark reinventa il classico montgomery con un capo in maglia di lana pesante, estremamente consistente, da utilizzare anche come capospalla. Bark non è un capo trendy ma fatto per durare oltre le mode e le tendenze, di grande qualità.
I montgomery proposti da Bark sono sia per uomo che per donna e bambino in un’ampia gamma di colori, dai più accesi, come il rosso e l’azzurro, fino ai più sobri, dal beige al grigio.
(nella stagione FW 2013 saranno previste 22 differenti varianti colore nel filato classico e 10 nel filato speciale moulinè.) In versione corta o lunga e disponibile con l’interno foderata in un tessuto.
Caratterizzati dagli immancabili alamari e dal cappuccio con o senza pelo, , agganciato con dei bottoni. i cappotti Bark hanno un sapore chic e sportivo allo stesso tempo, per un look da avventuriero metropolitan
La vera novità nel mondo accessori firmato Bark sono le scarpe: presentate in 3 modelli, realizzati ognuno in 2 versioni, maglia e pelle. Per le varianti in maglia i colori previsti saranno 8, mentre per quelle in pelle lavorata saranno 3: a differenza delle borse, qui oltre ai più classici moro e nero verrà introdotta un’altra sfumatura di colore, il cognac, che le renderà ancora più giovani e accattivanti.

Must Have per chi ama l’ High Casual più ricercato.

Bark My Style - Firenze

Sopra la selezione di foto relative all’evento Bark My Style il 8.01.2013 presso il Raspini Store di Firenze.Tutti gli invitati si sono divertiti a posare sul set indossando i capi Bark della collezione FW 2013-14

In questa collezione Uomo FW 2013, l’azienda modenese ha voluto portare avanti i capi appartenenti al proprio dna, come il montgomery corto e lungo, oltre ai modelli continuativi come la field jacket, dando a questi una maggiore visibilità grazie all’aggiunta di un nuovo filato moulinè e all’impiego di tecniche di lavorazione innovative, che han contribuito a rendere i capi ancora più particolari

Su questi due modelli, Bark ha sperimentato molto, introducendo nuove versioni e varianti: oltre agli accoppiamenti con nylon e pelo, sarà previsto un nuovo trattamento di gommatura che renderà i capi maggiormente resistenti all’acqua, una vera rivoluzione per il brand. L’altra novità è data dalla certificazione sui cartellini del trattamento Teflon sui capi.

Dopo il successo ottenuto nella collezione estiva 2013, il valstarino viene riproposto anche in questa FW. Come per i precedenti modelli sarà presentato in più varianti, quella basica, quella con nylon all’interno e con i filati speciali - moulinè e gommato.

Per Bark il colore ha sempre giocato un ruolo molto importante, ed è proprio per questo che, nella FW 2013 saranno previste 22 differenti varianti colore nel filato classico e 10 nel filato speciale moulinè.

Altra grande novità per il brand modenese è data dall’introduzione della pelle, lavorata con una tecnica molto particolare, viene impiegata come dettaglio per il più classico dei suoi capi, il montgomery corto e come materiale dominante per la nuova linea di accessori – borse e scarpe.

il cappotto viene riproposto in nuove varianti di colore per renderlo ancora più incisivo. Inoltre saranno presenti le ormai “storiche” giacche in maglia punto riso, mono e doppio petto, in un nuovo filato, shetland, previsto in 13 colori.

Sempre tra le novità troviamo la reinterpretazione di un altro capo storico, la quilted jacket. Presentate in lana a punto riso, accoppiate con il nylon e trapuntate. Queste oltre che nel classico filato in lana in 10 colorazioni, verranno presentate anche in un nuovo filato bottonato in 6 diverse varianti colore.

Altra novità di questa collezione uomo FW 2013 è il parka: accoppiato con il pelo al suo interno, sarà un ulteriore proposta in linea con lo stile Bark, metropolitano e alla moda.

Per la prima volta il brand introduce 3 differenti modelli di maglia del guardaroba maschile, reinterpretandole secondo il proprio io, riallacciandosi a quelle che sono le origini dell’azienda modenese: la maglieria vera e propria. Saranno presentate, tutte in shetland: il girocollo, il dolcevita ed il camioner.

Per quando riguarda il mondo degli accessori invece, saranno rivisitati i 3 modelli di borse presentati con la collezione P/E 2013, proposte ognuna in 3 differenti varianti: basica in maglia, quilted maglia/nylon e pelle. La basica e la quilted saranno previste in 6 varianti colore mentre quelle in pelle in 2, i classici moro e nero. Di queste sono previste un modello più basico, per tutti i giorni, uno più sofisticato, simile ad una piccola borsa da viaggio ed uno a tracolla per l’uomo metropolitano più dinamico.

Ma la vera novità nel mondo accessori firmato Bark sono le scarpe: presentate in 3 modelli, realizzati ognuno in 2 versioni, maglia e pelle. Per le varianti in maglia i colori previsti saranno 8, mentre per quelle in pelle lavorata saranno 3: a differenza delle borse, qui oltre ai più classici moro e nero verrà introdotta un’altra sfumatura di colore, il cognac, che le renderà ancora più giovani e accattivanti.

La cuffia in lana sarà presente anche in questa FW 2013, è ispirata questa volta ai berretti in lana dei marinai. Quest’ultima sarà affiancata da un nuovo modello di cappello dalla forma originale. Entrambi questi accessori potranno essere scelti in tutte le 22 varianti di colore.

La collezione Bark Uomo FW 2013 sarà presentata a Firenze presso Pitti Uomo 83, sezione Futuro Maschile – Stand 45, dall’8 all’11 gennaio 2013; al Bread&Butter – L.O.C.K. area-booth H7.22 Airport Tempelhof – Berlin, dal 15 al 17 gennaio. Al TRANOI HOMME – Plais de la Bourse – 2 place de la bourse – Paris, dal 19 al 21 gennaio 2013. Al WHITE NY – The Tunnel – 28th street/11th avenue – New York

Bark summer kids collection

The first Bark summer kids collection is wide and varied and, like the previous winter collection, it is based on the adult line.

The Field Jacket is proposed readapting it to children needs and it is lighter, though it maintains the “BARK Stitch” for which the Italian brand is reno
wned. As the man jacket, the kid one is lined with nylon camouflage and it is available in 12 different colours: from the basic blue, khaki and beige to the brighter yellow, orange or fuchsia.

In the Kids SS 2013 collection we can also find a new version of the winter montgomery in which the frogs are replaced with buttons – except for the first one that stays as a detail – and the proportions are revised so that the traditional model is transformed into a proper valstar. Also this piece is designed with an inner self-coloured nylon lining while the exterior is made of linen blend.

The collection comprises also two models of knit jackets, mono and double-breasted, produced in cotton.

In addition, the kids line takes from the Man collection two retro inspiration items reinterpreted from a contemporary point of view: a knit polo that recalls the style of the 50’s and a reversible K-way in nylon and knitwear.

Last novelty of the collection is the collaboration with the brand 2Easy Project to create a reversible quilted knitwear and nylon jacket and gilet. The gilet is extremely practical since it can be used also as under-jacket pinning it with a guaranteed system. The collaboration of the two brands will be shown with a pendant and a special label.
 

Also for girls, Bark proposes a summer line that, coming from the Women collection, presents military inspired models.

The M65 jacket is proposed in two variants: with ¾ sleeves or sleeveless. Thanks to a new manufacturing, the article is lighter and it has been enriched with details in sangallo that render it more feminine. The jacket is produced in cotton and it is proposed in 12 different colours.
Also for little girls we find the jeans jacket, with or without sleeves, and another new entry: the dust coat proposed in two reversible models. Those pieces are produced in linen blend yarn teamed with nylon or sangallo.
The Girl SS 2013 ends with two models of blazer: the traditional “chanel” and a three-quarter sleeves version. Both are proposed in a cotton yarn of 12 different colours that includes traditional classic tints and very bright nuances.

BARK KIDS FW 2012-13

Bark - Man SS 2013 collection

For their second summer collection, Bark has decided to give a strong signal, suggesting a wider range of items than the previous collections, making a series of special items but very practical at the same time.

The Field Jacket is revived but in a new version made lighter with a different process, while maintaining "Bark point" that made famous by the Italian brand. To emphasize the outerwear’ aspect, Bark’ Field Jacket was lined with nylon camouflage and treated to gain a stone washed appearance. It will be available in 12 colors, from the most basic such as blue, khaki and beige to the brighter yellow, orange and fuchsia. All models are available with embroidered old style tatoos.

From winter line was re-confirmed the reversible model presented in two versions: laminated canvas fabric with shirt and nylon coupled with canvas. There is also a limited edition jacket with rip-stop camouflage nylon combined with Japanese chambrie.

In this collection, also, is revised by replacing the duffle coat toggles - except the first one that remains as a detail - with the buttons and reviewing their proportions, making it a real Valstar. Although this model was designed with solid nylon lining and the exterior is made of linen.

Another new item is the reinterpretation of another Military garment: The U.S. Air Force bomber, made of gauze, linen and lined with nylon, all personalized with "Bark point” print.

The summer line continues with a knit jacket - both in single and double chest - made of cotton or linen. All jackets are made with traditional colored pouch pocket, to give the contrast force of a classic accessory coupled to casual jacket and shirt.

In this collection there are also two pieces of clearly retro origin but interpreted in a modern way: a polo shirt that refers to the 50's style and a reversible K-way.

Absolute novelty is the cooperation with 2Easy Project for the realization of a reversible quilted jacket as well as a waistcoat, always reversible that could also be used under the jacket fastened with a patented system of pins. This collaboration will be highlighted by a pendant and a special label.

The Bark Men's SS 2013 collection ends with the introduction of an accessory, the scarf, available in silk and cotton, in which we find expressed all the strengths of the entire collection.

FW 2012-13

Bark Sac

Starting from this season Bark proposes also a collection of bags called “Bark Sac”.

The collection is made of seven different models. Also in this case the brand reinterprets some traditional military items - such as the sac and backpack of the Navy - together with classic models of high leather goods – such as the briefcase, the shopping and the weekend - reinterpreting them in a very innovative way that assembles leather and mat with knitwear.

Also in this new project Bark reinterprets accessories according to its DNA, giving great importance to knitwear and to the stitch that made the brand famous.

 

The different models are based on the two yarns used for the realization of all the pieces of clothing of the collection: the linen blend is used alone to confer a conventional look to the accessory, while the cotton, proposed in several stripes varieties, adds a summery and casual touch.

The concept of reversibility – very dear to the company – is also present in the Bark Sac collection expressed though a reversible bag that can be used in different occasions during the day, remaining deeply unique.

 

 

Bark - Woman SS 2013 collection

For the Woman SS 2013 collection, Bark reinterprets traditional articles of the feminine wardrobe according to its DNA.

As in the previous collections the inspiration comes from military pieces of clothing that are rendered more feminine thought the use of expressly designed details.

Like the man line, also the woman collection is characterized by a great attention for the manufacturing of the fabrics, but it privileges more feminine yarns, such as the combination of linen a
nd lurex, that make the articles unique though, thank to the use of nylon, they maintain a practical and casual look.

The Woman SS 2013 collection is much wider than the previous one and all the different models are linked together by a common thread: astonishing.

 

The Field Jacket is presented again with the aim of rooting on the market the piece with which the brand made its debut. The jacket is proposed in two versions: with three-quarter sleeves or sleeveless.

From the last collection the article has been modified. Thanks to a new manufacturing, it is lighter and it has been enriched with details in sangallo that render it more feminine, though it maintains the bark stitch.

Entirely made in cotton it is proposed in 12 chromatic variants: from the basic blues and khaki to the brighter yellow, orange, green and fuchsia. All the models are treated to achieve a stone washed effect and they are also available with old-style tattoos embroideries.
 

The same treatments and the possibility of adding pieces of embroidery are available also for the jeans jacket; the first new-entry of this woman collection. The piece is proposed in two models: sleeveless with regular fit or extra short with long sleeves. The jacket is available also in linen and lurex yarns that confer to the item an original and glamour look. The colours variants range from the off-white, blue and grey tints to fluo tonalities that slightly recall the taste of the 80’s. Both yarns are combined with cotton canvas.

Also the bomber is presented in two versions: an extremely short model with a wide waistband, and a very innovative long variant with an “egg” fit and short sleeves. Those articles are produced in linen blend gauze and are characterized by a lining personalized with the “Bark stitch” printing.

Bark SS 2013 collection reinterprets also another traditional piece of clothing: the dust coat, proposed in three reversible variations realized in two different yarns: linen blend and linen and lurex.

The linen blend yarn is teamed with nylon or paired with sangallo. The linen and lurex yarn, instead, is matched with nylon converting the couture aspect of the lurex into a practical article suitable for everyday occasions.

The possibility of choice is enhanced by the introduction of three types of blazer that stretch from the traditional “chanel” to more original three-quarter or sleeveless models. The conclusion of the collection is represented by an accessory: a foulard in silk and cotton, whose colours and prints express all the strong points of the line.
