MARNI BOUTIQUE IN SAN FRANCISCO

Marni is pleased to announce the opening of its new flagship boutique at 77 Maiden Lane, in San Francisco’s Union Square district.

The new store design concept was initially launched with the Madrid and Milan boutiques and is the result of the collaboration between Consuelo Castiglioni, Marni's creative director, and Luz Maria Jaramillo, the brand's interior designer. The new Marni retail experience in this northern Californian city spans 3500 square feet across two levels, bringing together diverse geometries in a harmonious mix of forms, materials and moods that embody the brand’s aesthetic language. The boutique retains the building’s original architectural features, such as the high ceilings, illuminated by multiform Barrisol light sources, to give it a spacious feel.

The women’s collections are displayed on the ground floor, where the variegated hues of the asymmetrical marble floor tiles complement the chromatic spectrum of white, green and grey used to delineate the clothing and accessory collections. Geometric carpets and plush ottomans in sage-green velvet create the backdrop for displays where handbags and totes stand on canvas-wrapped shelving, eyewear and bijoux find their niche in crystal and steel boxes that punctuate the walls, and shoes pair up in leather-lined alcoves.

A granite and glass staircase leads to the basement, home exclusively to  the men’s collections, where the theme of marble accents and bold chromatic elements continues, with display and counter surfaces depicted in yellow, octane, magenta and optical white, a striking contrast to the pale smoothness of the concrete floor.

 The opening of this new boutique in the United States further strengthens Marni’s presence in this strategically important market.

Prada in Macau

PRADA OPENS A NEW STORE COMPLETELY DEDICATED TO THE MEN’S COLLECTIONS IN MACAU 

Prada opens its fourth store in Macau, inside the prestigious ‘Studio City’ Mall. The space, designed by architect Roberto Baciocchi, covers a total area of approximately 500 square metres on a single level and houses the men’s ready-to-wear, leather goods, accessories and footwear collections. A succession of light-coloured stone pillars and light boxes inserted into black granite volumes sets the rhythm of the external façade. The internal façade is clad in black granite, while slim burnished steel profiles frame the entrances, windows and light boxes. The two entrances open on an area defined by a succession of spaces, each featuring a different atmosphere. The area dedicated to the leather goods and accessories collections is characterised by Saint Laurent marble floorboards, ebony-clad walls and polished steel display cases and counters. An elegant sitting area, defined by cotto-coloured leather sofas, leads to the space where the men’s footwear and ready-to-wear collections are showcased. The space housing the footwear collections is defined by ebony floorboards and polished steel and crystal cases and counters with drawers covered in coloured saffiano leather exalting the product display. Cotto-coloured leather sofas complete the furnishing. The last room, dedicated to the ready-to-wear collections, is characterised by walls featuring orange encaustic painting, creating an elegant atmosphere.

Prada - Resort 2016 Advertising Campaign

Prada Resort 2016 Advertising Campaign

Steven Meisel captures a series of informal portraits for Prada’s Resort 2016 advertising campaign. Pop decorativism is subverted by industrial minimalism, as his muses lock us in an authoritative gaze. Lexi Boling, Meghan Collison, Ina Jensen, Lineisy Montero, Julia Nobis and Greta Varlese are bad girls turned good, or good girls turned bad, exuding a kind of unhinged innocence. The cool knowingness of their gaze is offset by expressive body language, hands on hips or folded across the body, arms swinging as if in dance. The concept of post-modesty and luxury are investigated in a dialogue of contrasts and dichotomies. High impact pieces, with soft silhouettes, are based on the simple T-shirt. Paillette-covered coats, leather shifts and skin-tight printed sweaters are layered over extra-long striped sleeves. Multi-coloured bags in printed or perforated leathers and bold, oversize earrings are all part of the story. Decorativism, through the serial repetition of symbols recalls the concept of post-pop art. Simplicity becomes uniqueness. An anonymous silver backdrop suggesting a post-industrial landscape jars with this sensual overload, suggesting the collection’s recurring rabbit motif is perhaps not as naive as it seems. Shadow falls across the images, reminding us darkness and light often come entwined. The gaze of the muses is both complex and seductive, warning anyone following them down this particular rabbit hole to expect the unexpected.

Campagna pubblicitaria Prada Resort 2016 

Per la campagna pubblicitaria Prada Resort 2016, Steven Meisel realizza una serie di ritratti informali in cui il decorativismo pop viene sovvertito dal minimalismo industriale e le modelle ci osservano con intensità. Lexi Boling, Meghan Collison, Ina Jensen, Lineisy Montero, Julia Nobis e Greta Varlese emanano una sorta di innocenza eccentrica. La consapevolezza distaccata del loro sguardo è controbilanciata dal linguaggio del corpo: mani sui fianchi o incrociate e braccia che oscillano come in una danza. Il concetto di post-modestia e quello di lusso sono indagati in un dialogo fatto di contrasti e dicotomie. Ne risultano abiti di forte impatto, dalle silhouette morbide e semplici, costruiti a partire dalle forme essenziali di una T-shirt. Soprabiti ricoperti di paillettes, tubini in pelle, aderenti maglioni stampati sono indossati su maglie con lunghissime maniche a righe. Le borse multicolori in pelle stampata o traforata e gli orecchini oversize sono parte integrante della storia. Il decorativismo, attraverso la ripetizione in serie di simboli, rievoca il concetto di postpop art. La semplicità diventa unicità. L'anonimo sfondo richiama un paesaggio post industriale e quasi stride con la carica sensuale, lasciando intendere che il motivo del coniglio ricorrente nella collezione non è così ingenuo come sembra. C'è un'ombra che attraversa le immagini, ricordandoci che luce e oscurità sono spesso intrecciate tra loro. Lo sguardo delle modelle è allusivo e seducente allo stesso tempo e suggerisce a chiunque decida di seguirle di aspettarsi l'inaspettato.  

Christian Louboutin Automne/Hiver 2015

Christian Louboutin revisite le punk, le grunge et les sixties pour l’Automne/Hiver 2015

Juin 2015 – Un grand saut dans le temps ! La collection AH 2015 de Christian Louboutin nous fait revivre quelques grands époques, des années 60 à la techno en passant par le grunge. Empreinte d’exotisme, d’audace, de sensualité et d’irrévérence, cette saison s’enrichit de couleurs et de textures nouvelles, sans oublier les innovations techniques où l’on retrouve le souci du détail et le savoir-faire emblématique de Christian Louboutin. Qui a dit que le punk était mort ? Ornées de pointes en cuir noir, nude ou bleu ciel, Electro Pump et Electro Boot font ressurgir le grunge des codes de la maison Louboutin. Les femmes fatales continuent d’influencer les créations de Christian et cette saison, honneurs aux vamps. De dangereuses courbes tracent sur un cuir souple et harmonieux les silhouettes aiguisées des Vampydolly et Sweety Charity, rehaussées de captivantes franges noires. La séduction continue tout en transparence avec cinq variations de dentelles pour des escarpins à brides et à lanières comme les Marinadentella, Follies Lace, et Oolala, autant de styles qui évoquent la sensualité de la lingerie fine. C’est sans oublier les autres fondamentaux de cette collection : ROUGE : La beauté reste le fondement du style dégradé, une exclusivité Christian Louboutin déclinée ici avec Requipump et So Kate, disponibles en trois finitions glossy, en dégradé de rouge et noir ou nude et rouge ; une réminiscence du Rouge Louboutin de la manucure « Fade to Rouge ». UNE LARGE PALETTE : Au-delà du rouge, la collection s’enrichit d’une toute nouvelle palette, avec des couleurs fleuries inspirées des œillets et des digitales ou des tons naturels comme la pierre, la rouille, les scintillements évoquant l’océan ou les nuances des forêts. Une palette qui offrira à chaque femme l’occasion de colorer le monde à sa façon. BIJOUX : Les dernières techniques de broderies savamment utilisées sur Perucora feront rougir de jalousie votre coffre à bijoux tandis que les plusieurs chaînes, qu’elles soient imposantes et martelées ou fines et délicatement cousues à la main comme sur Dolly Party évoqueront le luxe par petites touches brillantes. EMPRUNTE AUX GARCONS : Master Pump, Master Boot, Monaniso, et Jamella allient le style et le savoir-faire de cordonniers à une touche de féminité. TECHNO : Fraîchement débarquées des podiums de la Fashion Week de New York, Sharpstagram rejoint Elastagram et Pumpstagram dans une même explosion d’orange, de bleu et de jaune sur des bandes élastiques et des tissus sport et techno, dans un parfait accord entre luxe et technique. Christian Louboutin revisite le punk, le grunge et les sixties pour l’Automne/Hiver 2015 2 Pour les inconditionnels du sac à main, la collection Hiver marque le début de la ligne Lucky L, une toute nouvelle version du sac seau, couvert de patchwork, de clous et de nombreuses franges, le tout à travers une architecture exceptionnelle qui sublime le charme du cuir vachette. Le Passage Shopping se laisse aller avec des franges et revient en force avec Rougissime et FrankenLoubi, une creature bigarrée faite de patchwork et d’une sacrée dose d’allure. Dans son nouveau lookbook, Christian Louboutin présente sa collection de façon sexy et fantaisiste, fidèle à ce qui fait la célébrité de la maison, et nous entraîne sur les traces d’une mystérieuse heroine qui trouvera l’amour là où elle ne l’attendait vraiment pas.

A propos de Christian Louboutin:

La maison Christian Louboutin naît en 1992 quand le créateur ouvre sa première boutique au 19 rue Jean-Jacques Rousseau à Paris. La marque compte actuellement 106 boutiques à travers le monde, dont plusieurs dédiées exclusivement à ses lignes homme. Une monographie intitulée ‘Christian Louboutin’ et publiée aux éditions Rizzoli retrace ce parcours exceptionnel. De récentes collaborations ponctuelles avec le légendaire cabaret Crazy Horse ou les Studios Walt Disney, et des projets spéciaux avec plusieurs grands noms des mondes de la musique, de l’art et du cinéma témoignent de ses multiples inspirations. Une exposition-rétrospective a été présentée en 2012 au prestigieux Design Museum de Londres, et plus récemment au Design Exchange de Toronto, au Canada. La beauté des femmes a toujours été au centre des inspirations du créateur, l’été 2014 a accueilli le lancement de Christian Louboutin Beauté avec son premier vernis à ongles, Rouge Louboutin.
