The Little Black Jacket in Milan

Qui, visitando la mostra a Berlino

"Da tempo la si aspettava in Italia e finalmente sta per arrivare. Dopo aver viaggiato per le più importanti città del mondo, riscuotendo consensi e successi, The Little Black Jacket approda ora anche a Milano e precisamente negli spazi della Rotonda della Besana a partire dal prossimo 6 aprile.

Una mostra fotografica di 113 scatti che rendono protagonista uno dei capi iconici della maison Chanel, la celebre giacca nera disegnata da Coco alla fine degli anni Cinquanta. Immortalata per l’occasione da Karl Lagerfeld e indossata da tanti personaggi del jet-set, del cinema e della moda, con lo styling di Carine Roitfeld."

Prada - Real Fantasies

For the SS2013 Real Fantasies by AMO, Prada experiments a multi-faceted collage of hand-drawn and painted shapes, casting the shadows that they project. Simplicity, poetry and sentimentalism, processed through imaginary cinematic scenes; characters yearning in a world of sophisticated feelings, eluding nostalgia to inspect longing and legacy. Restraining versus revealing: conflicting attitudes in a series of intimate and social situations.

Per il Real Fantasies PE2013 di AMO, Prada sperimenta uno sfaccettato collage di forme schizzate a mano e dipinte, le cui ombre si stagliano in proiezioni. Semplicità, poesia e sentimentalismo, elaborati attraverso immaginarie scene cinematografiche; personaggi che eludono la nostalgia, aspirando - in un mondo di sofisticati sentimenti - alla ricerca tra desiderio e radici. Reprimere oppure rivelare: attitudini contrastanti in una serie di situazioni intime e sociali.

Prada presents its new bag Spring/Summer 2013

 

Harmony of forms and timeless elegance. In a cross-play of styles, Prada presents an ultra-modern bag with traditional roots.

Made in Saffiano, the iconic material created by founder Mario Prada, this new twin-strap bag overturns the canons of form by moving the classic clasp from outside to inside.

The new folding clasp, also in Saffiano, gives the bag a slimmer profile, while the hand stitching underscores Prada's continual striving for the highest standards of quality.

A unique item, a new icon combining modernity and tradition.

Prada presenta la nuova borsa Primavera/Estate 2013

Armonia delle forme ed eleganza senza tempo. In un gioco di stile, Prada presenta una borsa modernista che affonda le radici nella tradizione.

Realizzata in Saffiano, iconico materiale creato dal fondatore Mario Prada, questa nuova borsa a due manici inverte i canoni di forma trasferendo la classica chiusura dall’esterno all’interno.

La nuova chiusura a soffietto realizzata anch’essa in Saffiano regala alla borsa un profilo leggero mentre le lavorazioni artigianali evidenziano la continua ricerca di Prada secondi i più elevati standard di qualità.

Tutto è pensato per creare un oggetto unico, una nuova icona che è sintesi tra novità e tradizione.

Christophe Lemaire gained his experience along Yves Saint Laurent and Thiery Mugler, where he completed his initial placement s, then as assistant to Christian Lacroix from 1986 to 1990 at Jean Patou and Christian Lacroix . Twice winner of the Andam Prize, he launched his own label in 1991 and added men’s ready- to –wear to the women’s collection four years later.

Following a number of collaborative projects (Woolmark, Dorothée bis, Wrangler Japan etc. ), Lacoste approached Christophe Lemaire in 2000, of fering him the position of artistic director for the clothing collections.

He developed the women’s collections, designed the upmarket “Club” range and “Life! ” line, and restored the label ’s original identity in ten years. He al so launched seasonal shows in New York , an intelligent initiative aimed at restoring the label ’s iconic image: “ I reinterpreted the Lacoste classics, taking my inspiration from it’ s fabulous heritage, the relaxed elegance specific to the label, Jacques Henri Lartigue’s images, e t c. ”

In 2006, he re-launched his own label (on hold from 2000 to 2006) and opened an intimate boutique in the neighborhood of Le Marais in Paris where display cushions set out along the walls give the impression of a cosy home. He is today the owner of a totally independent company.

In June 2010, Christophe Lemaire is named artistic director of Hermès women ready to wear and presented his first collection in march with cordial welcome. “ The choice was made very naturally. Christophe Lemaire designs sport chic garments exactly in the spirit of the ones created by Hermès since the 1920’s says Pierre Alexis Dumas, artistic director of the house, seduced by his perennial approach to fashion. ”

The Incredible Darkness of Being

Autumn/Winter 2013

Once upon a time there was a woman who to the world in general lived what would be considered a reasonably quiet albeit stylish life. Never outwardly flamboyant she secretly got a thrill out of being studied. She liked to sit. She liked being painted. She loved to be depicted in dark oils, as her wardrobe was as brooding as her thoughts: all olive, inky blues, midnight pitchy black and her only concession to colour was with touches of sky blue and early sunrise red. For her new series of portraits for the coming winter she prepared all her colours in her favoured boiled wools but added small effects of leather, French lace woven with thick threads and she also added some oblong sequins for ornament and luminosity. The shapes were rigorous yet still there was an undeniable undertow of deep sexuality to it all, a promise of piety laced with passion. The painter was happy. He captured her modesty, her incredible plainness and rightness religiously.
