Prada Menswear Fall/Winter 2014 Campaign
Annie Leibovitz photographs Golden Globe nominated James McAvoy for the Prada menswear fall/winter campaign.
A leading man of cinema and style, McAvoy has been celebrated for his outstanding performances in The Last King of Scotland, Atonement and Filth, as well as the star-studded X-Men franchise. In him Leibovitz finds a charismatic and unpredictable conspirator, an introspective hero who brings an effortless intimacy and individuality to the menswear collection.
The conversation between Prada and architecture is constant. The show space in January was designed as an experimental and informal stage for performance. As if in a theatre characters, set, music and costume came together to form an experience – open to the interpretation of the audience provocatively placed around, above and within the show space. From the orchestra pit concert group L’Usignolo performed music from Pina Bausch shows and the songs of Kurt Weill.
Here McAvoy’s theatre is formed of concrete and stone, the austere landscape shot in black and grey, an homage to the German avant-garde. Concrete staircases, stone paving and a rocky coast swept by a grey sea bring a certainty and magnitude to the atmosphere of the photographs. Against this backdrop
Leibovitz and McAvoy interpret the Prada man a play of multiple acts.
Defiant tailoring, winter coats, utilitarian jackets and shirts with contrasting collars balance the personal and the stylized. A slim, sleek silhouette inspired by uniforms, especially those of military bands, brings an eccentric elegance.
Gabardine, silk twill, mohair-silk blend and crepe de chine textures contrast the austere surroundings.
The dramatic effect is an experimental narrative of bold and exceptional individuality.

Campagna Prada Uomo Autunno/Inverno 2014
Annie Leibovitz fotografa James McAvoy, attore nominato ai Golden Globe, per la campagna Prada Uomo Autunno/Inverno 2014.
Personaggio di spicco nel mondo del cinema e simbolo di eleganza, McAvoy è conosciuto dal grande pubblico per le sue singolari interpretazioni in L’ultimo re di Scozia, Espiazione, Il lercio e in due dei titoli della serie X-Men, a fianco di un cast stellare. In lui Annie Leibovitz vede un cospiratore carismatico e imprevedibile, un eroe dedito all’introspezione che infonde alla collezione uomo un senso di disinvolta e spontanea intimità.
Il dialogo tra Prada e l’architettura è costante. A gennaio, lo spazio sfilata era stato trasformato in un palcoscenico informale e sperimentale. Come a teatro, i personaggi, la scenografia, la musica e i costumi si erano fusi per far vivere un’esperienza aperta all’interpretazione del pubblico, provocatoriamente disposto nello spazio e l’orchestra L’Usignolo aveva eseguito dalle ‘buche’ musica tratta dagli spettacoli di Pina Bausch e brani di Kurt Weill.
Qui, il teatro in cui si muove McAvoy è fatto di cemento e pietra e l’austero paesaggio fotografato in nero e grigio vuole essere un tributo all’avanguardia tedesca. Le scalinate in cemento, la pavimentazione in pietra e il litorale roccioso, battuto da un mare grigio, infondono alle immagini un senso di calma e certezza. Su questo sfondo, Annie Leibovitz interpreta la collezione come una rappresentazione articolata in molteplici atti.
Il taglio sartoriale ribelle, i soprabiti invernali, le giacche e le camicie con risvolti a contrasto creano un perfetto equilibrio tra il personale e lo stilizzato.
Una silhouette sottile, ispirata alle uniformi con dettagli che richiamano lo stile militare, si traduce un’eleganza eccentrica. Gabardine, twill di seta, mohair –seta e crêpe de chine contrastano con un’atmosfera austera. L'effetto drammatico è una narrazione sperimentale di un’individualità audace ed eccezionale.

Tommy Hilfiger Fall 2014







Tommy Hilfiger Fall 2014 Women’s Collection

American Explorer

 

Tommy Hilfiger goes outward bound for Fall 2014 with a collection inspired by the great American outdoors and infused with a luxe reinterpretation for today’s adventurous young women. An eclectic mix of technical mountaineering gear, western workwear and saturated plaids take on a youthful, bohemian sensibility.

Traditional tartans, an established Hilfiger hallmark, are given an irreverent twist in bespoke checks that appear in various iterations – on brushed wool-cashmere, mohair, and silk. The signature plaid pops up as revers and turn-backs on peacoat toppers, a range of shirt-dress silhouettes trimmed with navy velvet details, as well as must-have leather totes and satchels. Suede circle skirts accented with zigzag lock-stitching and tiered prairie skirts in fringed multiplaid are given a refresh in shrunken proportions.

Rugged performance materials are used to create classic silhouettes and are unexpectedly mixed with rich velvet, suede, and leather. Exploration gear inspires imaginative touches like bungee-cord button holes and drawstrings, and polished speedlock hooks on footwear. Outerwear is key: teddy-fur bomber jackets layer over textural hand-worked alpine knits; cable-knit patchworked ponchos are paired with citified hiking boots; suede boyfriend puffer vests top utility denim. Everything has a slip-on ease, from oversized shearling-lined parkas to velvet sweatshirts with mini-dress proportions – even the classic clog, updated in faux-fur finishes and worn with color-blocked ragg socks. It’s tech meets trad with an adventure-ready spirit.

Collection femme Tommy Hilfiger automne 2014
La conquête de l'ouest
Tommy Hilfiger part à l'aventure pour l'automne 2014 avec une collection inspirée par les grands espaces américains, caractérisée par une réinterprétation luxueuse pour les jeunes femmes intrépides d'aujourd'hui. Une sensibilité bohème et juvénile se dégage du rapprochement éclectique entre équipement technique d'alpinisme, vêtements de travail de l'ouest et carreaux saturés.
Les tartans traditionnels, marque de fabrique établie de Hilfiger, sont revisités avec des carreaux uniques et originaux répétés sur différentes matières : mélange laine-cachemire brossé, mohair et soie. Les carreaux traditionnels illuminent les revers et replis des cabans, une gamme de robes-chemises ornées de détails en velours bleu marine, ainsi que des sacs cabas et des sacoches incontournables en cuir. Les jupes corolles en daim rehaussées par des points d'arrêt en zigzag et les jupes de prairie à volants en tissus à carreaux multiples orné de franges sont revisitées dans des versions rétrécies.
Des matières à toute épreuve sont utilisées pour créer des silhouettes classiques et sont étonnamment associées à du velours, du daim et du cuir riches. Les équipements d'exploration ont inspiré des touches pleines d'imagination telles que des boutonnières et des cordons coulissants pour le saut à l'élastique et des crochets d'attache polis sur les chaussures. L'Outerwear est la clé : les blousons en fausse fourrure se superposent aux tricots alpins dont la texture évoque l'artisanat ; les ponchos en patchwork à maille torsadée sont associés à des bottes de randonnées citadines ; la doudoune boyfriend en daim surmonte le denim réglementaire. Tous les modèles sont orientés vers le confort, qu'il s'agisse de parkas démesurées doublées de peau de mouton retournée ou de sweatshirts en velours épousant les dimensions d'une robe courte ; même le sabot classique, remis au goût du jour avec des finitions en fausse fourrure à porter avec des chaussettes rapiécées style color-block. La technologie rencontre la tradition dans un esprit aventurier.
