Christian Louboutin presents the Spring/Summer 2015 Collection

 

Inspired by cultural touchstones ranging from Vladimir Nabokov’s Lolita to the art and architecture of the American Southwest, Christian Louboutin’s SS15 collection unites a riot of references, colours, and textures. New shoe and handbag styles join returning favourites, with updated colours, materials, and details energizing the product mix. The collection highlights the brand’s commitment to technical innovation, starting with the new Mirage heel. The wavy stiletto appears in several designs, including the Dalida, the Deepik, and the Vagachina. Another standout style is the Tibur, an update of the iconic So Kate, this shoe features a cutaway toe that flashes a hint of skin, without the full exposure of a traditional peep-toe design. Women continue to borrow from the men, with the sleek Platt Dance Flat, the cork-soled Liegina, the On Stage oxford, the embroidered Nananas slipper, and a new black-and-white Zazou brogue. Key themes uncovered in the new collection also include:

 SPORTIF: Trainers get the stiletto treatment in the statement Boltina, and transparent panels give a go-faster air to Bandy.

 ROCKER CHIC: Fringing, spikes and metal detail bring attitude to Onstage, Otrot and the Vicky bootie.

 AQUATIC UNIVERSE: Water tones and ombré python designs evoke the sea, as with the Dalida in opaline leather, So Kate in python aquarium, and Rougissime in Python Inferno.

 CRAFTSMANSHIP: Skilled artisans apply their expertise in embroidery and jewellery to detailed styles like Salopatina, Top Vague, and Devibroda. In handbags, the best-selling Sweet Charity family gets a new member: the Sweety Charity Backpack. Tiny yet bold, the backpack comes on embellished, jewellery-like straps – perfect for hands free dancing. Also new is the Passage Shopper. The top-handle tote bag with optional shoulder straps makes a sleek addition to the Passage line in colours including black, opaline (turquoise), orange, and grey. To interpret the collection, Christian Louboutin once again collaborated with photographer Peter Lippmann for the SS15 lookbook. This season, Lippmann suggests that one should never take off their Louboutins, even in the bath, with a series called Water in Love. The Spring-Summer 2015 collection is available for purchase at Christian Louboutin boutiques and on www.ChristianLouboutin.com from November 25th.

BLACK DIONISO

SS 2015

 

BLACK DIONISO is born from “black fashion world” and it doesn’t forget its origin, but it develops season after season, attracting everyone that wants to be trendy but not impersonal!

This is the fundamental idea of all their collections: depicting different worlds and realities through games of fabrics and jewel details, while keeping a unique identity, which makes the BLACK DIONISO man or woman recognizable in every case.

The SS 2015 collection is more and more contemporary and fascinating.

The strength of the Company and designer Luca Berioli is the ability to make special an accessory as sneakers that, season after season are always trendier in the Fashion System, providing them the right mix of glamour and energy that makes them unique in the world and in all their styles.

From a sneakers collection to an amazing assortment of fine jewels: the heart, the spider, the butterfly, the snake etc. are brilliant and luxurious brooches applications. These are linked to the rich and precious decorations in colored stones and crystals, very popular thanks to the previous season (SS 14) model MARGHERITA success, sold out worldwide.

Luca Berioli said that the details and the pursuit of authentic craftsmanship are his real focus.

The “SWAROSKY” keep their iconic role in the Company, they require at least two hours of work for the entire HANDMADE application of crystals and / or pearls (SWAROPEARL). They underline the main principle of the Company, the principle on which it is based; respect and celebration of MADE IN ITALY. They are worn, appreciated and desired by Celebrities and by the “insiders" of the fashion world.

The “PLUMES” stand out for their originality and exclusivity, as much as for the work and craftsmanship that they require. The feathers of farmyard animals are placed by hand, one by one, in order to recreate the beautiful colors and fantasies of real plumages.

For SS 2015 feathers become also glitter, such as the 3D and 3D ROSES styles, manufacturing of leather and rubber application with the three-dimensional effect, refined and innovative, since everyone is tired of the usual sneakers.

The fabrics used comes from the animal world, the skins are painted, printed and embroidered.

Pythons become shining for her and are mixed with fabrics and colors for him.

High-quality materials that meet the sight and touch.

The quality in the choice of leather, more and more processed and sophisticated, is absolutely our primary value. In this collection, it is exalted in plaiting and weaving fabrics and raffia, a very freshness touch, creating shoes with an extremely versatile style and identity.

New shapes and inspirations arrives where fabric plays with prints and transparencies, nude effect net for ROSA VARA and REDI FUSO models, in the colors of camouflage and roses proposed on sneakers, slip on and boots which are really funny but dynamic and urban at the same time.

The added value is without any doubt the TRAINER style, that complete the BLACK DIONISO FASHION WORLD covering some prints and themes of the collection in an easy and sprint way, because the sport is synonymous with chic.

ONLY ONE RULE FOR BLACK DIONISO…FOLLOW YOUR HEART!

 

BRAND PROFILE:

 

The DIONISIO sneaker project was born in 2009 using original and used Converse All Star... They began with the intention to customize one of the twentieth century ICONIC sneakers to create something special and artisanal with luxury materials and components combined with great Italian craftsmanship. After the first collection, they decided to produce their own Sneakers with more comfort (we introduced a PORON FUSBETT 2cm platform in all Sneakers) and nobles materials. The product is realized with paint, reptiles’ skin, studs, fur, aluminum, plumes, and unusual accessories, skins and fabrics; always trying to be innovative, original and most importantly, to be first to propose new trends…

Their inspiration is driven from punk rock music as well as poetry, the arts, and the beautiful people we meet across the world.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

BLACK DIONISO nasce dal “black fashion world” ma si evolve stagione dopo stagione, senza dimenticare le proprie origini, raccontando diversi mondi e realtà, mantenendo però costante un’unica identità, che rende riconoscibile in ogni caso l’uomo e la donna BLACK DIONISO e l’attenzione e curiosità di tutti coloro che sanno creare un proprio stile, ed essere trendy senza perdere la propria personalità.

La collezione SS 2015 si prospetta sempre più affascinante e contemporanea.

Uno dei punti di forza dell’azienda e del lavoro del designer Luca Berioli è la capacità di rendere speciale un accessorio come la sneaker che, stagione dopo stagione, detta sempre di più tendenza nel Fashion System, conferendogli il giusto mix di energia e glamour che la rendono unica in tutto il mondo ed in tutte le sue varianti e declinazioni.

Una collezione di sneakers che diventa un bellissimo assortimento di raffinati gioielli: dal cuore al ragno, dalla farfalla alla rosa ed il serpente ecc, brillanti e sontuose applicazioni che si insediano ed affiancano alle tantissime e preziose decorazioni in pietre colorate e cristalli, sempre più apprezzate sulla scia del successo del modello MARGHERITA sold out in tutto il mondo nella stagione SS 2014.

Luca Berioli da sempre sostiene che i dettagli e la ricerca di autentica artigianalità sono il suo vero obiettivo.

Le “SWAROSKY”, realizzate e cucite interamente a mano, (necessitano almeno due ore di lavoro per l’applicazione artigianale dei cristalli e/o delle perle SWAROPEARL), si confermano quali icone indiscusse e rappresentative dell’Azienda, esprimono all’ennesima potenza il principio fondamentale sul quale la stessa si fonda, ovvero la celebrazione del MADE IN ITALY. Sono indossate, apprezzate e desiderate da Artisti ed “addetti ai lavori” del panorama glamour mondiale.

Le "PLUMES" emergono per la loro originalità ed esclusività, tanto quanto per il lavoro e la manifattura che richiedono.

Piume di fagiani, fagianelle ed altri animali di cortile, vengono posizionate interamente a mano, una ad una, in modo da poter ricreare i bellissimi effetti e fantasie cromatiche dei piumaggi che per la SS 2015 diventano GLITTER, così come Le 3D PYRAMID e le 3D ROSES, una continua conferma, lavorazioni su pelle ed ap plicazioni in gomma e silicone ad effetto tridimensionale, ricercate ed innovative, per un pubblico d’avanguardia, stanco delle solite sneakers.

I materiali usati arrivano dal mondo animale, le pelli sono dipinte, stampate e ricamate.

I pitoni diventano “shining” per lei e si accostano a tessuti in mix di colori per lui.

Materiali pregiati che soddisfano la vista e il tatto.

La qualità nella scelta delle pelli, sempre più trattate, curate e ricercate, è in assoluto un valore primario che si esalta in questa collezione nelle lavorazioni ad intreccio e a sapienti incursioni di tessuti e rafia, per un tocco di freschezza, dando vita a calzature dal carattere e stile estremamente versatile.

La novità arriva dove il tessuto gioca con stampe e trasparenze, una rete effetto nude nei modelli ROSA VARA e REDI FUSO proposti nei colori del camouflage e delle rose, su sneakers, slip on e boots, ironiche e divertenti ma allo tempo dinamiche ed urbane.

Il valore aggiunto resta senza dubbio la TRAINER che completa il BLACK DIONISO BLACK FASHION WORLD, ripercorrendo alcune stampe e temi della collezione in una veste easy e sprint, dove lo sport è sinonimo di chic.

ONLY ONE RULE FOR BLACK DIONISO…..FOLLOW YOUR HEART!

 

PROFILO:

 

Il progetto di BLACK DIONISO nasce nel 2009, con l’intento di customizzare una delle ICONE del ventesimo secolo, la CONVERSE ALL STAR, e realizzare qualcosa di speciale ed artigianale con materiali lussuosi ed un grande lavoro di manodopera, tutto Made in Italy.

Dopo una prima collezione, l’Azienda decide di produrre una propria linea di sneakers caratterizzate da un’accurata ricercatezza nei materiali e dotate di maggior confort grazie all’introduzione di una soletta in lattice di 2 cm all’interno.

Le sneakers BLACK DIONISO prendono così vita e vengono realizzate in vernice, pelli, borchie, pellicce, alluminio, piume, e molte altre inusuali applicazioni e tessuti, con l’obiettivo di essere sempre più innovativi, originali e precursori di tendenze.

La loro ispirazione arriva dalla musica punk, rock, così come dalla poesia, dall’arte, e dalle bellissime persone che incontriamo viaggiando in tutto il mondo.
