Prada


Prada Resort 2015 Campaign
In a stately garden, overgrown with tangled histories, Prada introduces a feminine study of wardrobe classics. The season’s most captivating new faces star in the series of enigmatic monochrome portraits, captured by pre-eminent photographer, Steven Meisel.
The exacting construction of the clothes is as clear to see as the careful construction of the photographs, revealed by decorative stitching over the seams of each garment, including bags and shoes. Contrasting coloured threads are doubled to look like embroidery tracing the architecture of the collection, emphasizing quintessential shapes: short jackets, boxy skirts, pleated trousers and belted dresses.
Traditional distinctions between male and female codes become passé in new archetypes of dress for the modern woman. Stripes and checks in blue, brown, green and beige, reminiscent of men’s workwear shirts, are transposed onto modern proportions and silhouettes. A light 70s influence is evident in the soft flare of a trouser or a skirt. The top stitch detailing weaves a continuum between the Spring/Summer Men’s and Women’s Resort Collections, which were shown together in Milan to the sounds of Psychic TV.
Faces of the future Adrienne Juliger, Ine Neefs and Moya Mardy are arranged in carefully measured compositions creating intriguing illusions of scale. The simplicity of their poses, hands held loosely by the sides, let the clothes speak for themselves.
Their fresh demeanors are conduits for layered paradigms and new perspectives, worn with a casual lightness of touch. The result is a transformative new attitude for the modern Prada woman.

Campagna Prada Resort 2015
In un giardino maestoso, rigoglioso di storie intrecciate, Prada introduce uno studio sui classici del guardaroba femminile. I nuovi, più affascinanti volti della stagione sono i protagonisti di una serie di enigmatici ritratti monocromatici, catturati dall’obiettivo del celebre fotografo Steven Meisel.
L’attenta costruzione degli abiti è chiara come la meticolosa costruzione delle fotografie, rivelata dall’impuntura decorativa su ogni capo, comprese borse e calzature. Le cuciture a vista con fili a contrasto sono doppie per farle apparire come un ricamo che delinea l’architettura della collezione, enfatizzando la purezza delle forme: giacche corte, gonne svasate, pantaloni pieghettati e abiti con cinture.
Le tradizionali distinzioni tra codici maschili e femminili svaniscono, lasciando il posto a nuovi archetipi di abbigliamento per la donna moderna. Tessuti a righe e a quadretti in blu, marrone, verde e beige, che richiamano le camicie da lavoro maschili, sono trasposte in proporzioni e silhouette moderne. Un lieve accenno agli anni ’70 è evidente nella leggera svasatura di un pantalone o di una gonna. Il dettaglio a impuntura rappresenta un continuum tra la Collezione Uomo Primavera/Estate e la Collezione Donna Resort, presentate insieme a Milano al ritmo degli Psychic TV.
I volti del futuro, Adrienne Juliger, Ine Neefs e Moya Mardy, sono disposti in composizioni attentamente misurate che creano intriganti illusioni dimensionali. La semplicità delle loro pose e le mani che ricadono con disinvoltura lungo i fianchi lasciano parlare gli abiti. I loro atteggiamenti freschi rappresentano un canale per paradigmi stratificati e nuove prospettive, indossati con un leggero tocco disinvolto. Il risultato è un nuovo approccio trasformativo per la donna moderna Prada.

Bally


Bally dévoile son nouveau flagship store
 

 
 

Londres, Octobre 2014 – Bally dévoile son nouveau flagship store conçu exclusivement par David Chipperfield Architects et situé à New Bond Street – l’une des destinations les plus emblématiques de shopping de luxe de Londres.
L’ouverture du magasin est un grand pas en avant dans la représentation de la philopohie de fonctionnalité, d’intemporalité et de modernité de Bally dans le respect de son riche patrimoine. C’est la première boutique amiral depuis des décennies qui communique l’unicité de la marque et définit la nouvelle identité de la maison.
Chaque détail a été étudié, de la refonte de la publicité, au nouveau packaging, en passant par les nouvelles collections et les services disponibles en boutique.
La boutique de 400 m2 s’étend sur trois étages et offre une expérience client unique. Le soussol acceuille la collection homme, le rez-dechaussée est consacré à la mode féminine, et le premier étage au Made to Order, Made to Colour et au Shoe Caring Services.
Bally a longuement collaboré avec des architectes de renom – dont Robert Mallet-Stevens, Andrée Putman, Le Corbusier et Karl Moser. Dans le même esprit, travailler avec David Chipperfield Architects pour l’ouverture du flagship londonien coulait de source. David Chipperfiled Architects sont reconnus pour leur sens du design et leur innovation.
Le design de la boutique est inspiré d’une photographie retrouvée dans les archives, d’un magasin Bally des années 20 conçu par l’architecte moderniste et designer de meubles Marcel Breuer.
Le nouveau flagship renforce l’unicité de la maison Bally, son existence en tant que pionnier dans l’artisanat et du design, redéfinit son identité corporate et personnifie son héritage ancré dans la fonctionnalité et la modernité.

About Roberto Coin:
The Roberto Coin brand is born in 1996. Its founder, with whom it shares its name, driven by then innate love for the world of art and fashion, decides to leave his successful career as a hotel manager to follow a dream and face a new and passionate adventure.
His creativity takes shape through the hands of the historical and most renowned Italian jewellery artisans, who bring Roberto Coin’s romantic and borderless imagination to life through their skills, telling his story through jewels that truly become works of art.
Taste and experimentation turn each creation into an unedited example of style and innovation that soon catches the attention of the jewellery world, placing the brand among the most renowned Italian jewellers and at the top of international studies on creativity and quality.
Each piece by Roberto Coin is the result of a thorough process, a journey among different cultures and multi-ethnical influences, through the world of nature, between echoes of the past and future projections. The capability to transfer the most varied experiences, dreams and perspectives into the jewels, characterizes the brand’s collections with an unmistakeable mark of identity and uniqueness.
Roberto Coin signs each one of his pieces with a small ruby casted inside the jewel, in direct contact with the skin of who wears it. This magical signature, surrounded by an antique halo of legend, represents the message of good wishes that Roberto Coin dedicates to his passionate clientele.
The world of fashion recognizes Roberto Coin as the author of many of the most interesting trends in the jewellery world over the last decades. His tireless instinct to always bring something inedited to life pushes him to create over 600 new models a year, which satisfy the needs of the most diverse international markets. Roberto Coin’s collections can be found today in more than 1000 shops scattered in over 60 countries worldwide.
