What is fashion? If there is a wealth presented to us whether to impose?  
This is due to the availability of fashion by whom. I think the designers and design from brands to offer meaningful choices, but the calculations do not impose kuramsız not up to the point. In fact, this kind of calculation is actually even more. Conscious talepçiler very easy to parse it.How do you think is going to a point at the twenty-first century fashion? Fashion, and even art, can often repeats itself?There is a map of the classical attitude of we are used to set off a different design, fashion and art. The idea is important to have good quality. Designer and artist's discourse, messages, and they want to give their community is important. I do not think that fashion is repeating itself, but gave up nonsense attitude of a receiver, there is now more informed and more creative. Increased requirement of being convincing. The mistaken idea that the majority do not think beyond himself carried the boundaries of art and design competence. This is why I have a horde of little influence and less interactive.Does it influence the fashion world, social or political events?I am worried about the depth of fashion, but the plot tasarımsa, known as the fashion is not already. I think that there are limits that affect the majority of it easier. Design, to hold the actual design, the designer revealed to be owned business in a more intellectual. Who feel that such a need, a perception which is my way fashions have shallow waters. Of fashion in the social, political and cultural başkalaşımlara do not think that the depth of coping with.I know you set the colors of one year in advance. According to what you determine them?Each year an international commission established by Intercolour and two years later he concludes that the color predictions about the joint. Özlem on behalf of our country are participating in this study for twelve years I have Süer'le. Most recently, the commission was formed last December in Berlin. Each delegate is lurking in his own country, and developments in the world and making a preliminary preparation. Describes how to comment on the changes after meeting the commission, offer their own observations. The result of all this sharing of information gathered under a common concept and color palette. This textile companies, designers, trendsetter'lara and hints for everyone on this issue. For example, last meeting, Özlem'le (Süer), a common theme of my virtual reality, reality, and that was on the tree of life was very much interested. Also affecting the gray table in the world, discussed the long-term economic and spiritual crises. Greying contrasting approaches to the table is remarkable positive. All these years later gave way.

One's own unique style according to what criteria of being determined to be tacky?One of the other's point of view of identifying rüküşü not believe there is a meaning. Does that reflect the status of the cases, the person often does not offer? Having Style, the person must be a special case. What he kadarsınızdır kadarsanız. Subject of another perception-if-giyimse how important would it be? The original and freely choose to be a reading of identity as soon as you do yourself anlatmayacaksanız this state of fashion style. I am standing in the world against such a measure of detecting and aesthetics of mathematics. Your own style, courageous posture opposite you define as tacky. Ümitçe approach, I would say, that means away from you.What fashion is a special place in your life?Fashion is not a part of me but the WHOLE. To know, to master a part of life chosen by me. Standing close to him in order to make a more meaningful fashion in all disciplines eklemliyorum. In fact, using a transfer, such as fashion, language, development exercises that I like. Fashion my way, that I have on behalf of the huge strength to cope with life.How you turned to fashion? Did you have a special interest as a child?Ever since I can remember I have to spend time with my father's tailor shop. When I was eight my father aside, I did a bag of fabric rag allocated over time, this desire grew in me, I came today.What brought you to study fashion design, as well as archeology?Added a lot. Methodology, he had a lesson. A preliminary research phase of the study would have to do is all the time. He received three years of discipline. Sooner or later things took off in a different and honest anlaşılıyorsun, then you also Refuse to Abandon. I realized this early on. Because I have a special mother.

What your mother taught you?My mother is very important, it taught me to love unconditionally. Unconditional joy is also respected for labor. Everything happens for a reason we live in life, every reason to believe that it is a journey. Poverty seems to me very great wealth. Understand the existence of the asset. Poverty was a serious, but I can not imagine ever being, as was the. This is to be patient, wait in line, everyone on the street is at least as important as teaching your people. I believe it is a miracle man. You are the miracle itself. I entered the class was a miracle in my life and successful people. This out without an education, ordinary schools and training courses taking çevirebildim a real success story.

Had your father support you then?My parents had alcohol problems for me, beacon, but my father. We have seen a very serious grind, but I believe it is also important. I will have to overcome, there were many things that I have to thrive. My father was actually a very nice guy. Especially in the last period, it was beautiful. We had a very nice sentiment, but a period of our lives was very unhealthy. In the past against those who lost their mothers sızlardı more of me. Now a very strange feeling. You're losing when you lost your father disastrous ...They nourish what your designs?I learned from my mother, archeology I learned, I learned the street. How would I know such a job getting to know you, you going out with me. This is a very valuable thing. Because they realized varıyorsun. I'm becoming aware of the rewards. Find the right people for the right people in the country. Rastlayınca not to leave that's it. Koleksiyonlarıma life-giving, Karl Valentin, the ship Argo Gold Amis or the Post to call the vazgeçemedim rastladığımda them the story of 55 passengers.

About five years ago, but his story of Karl Valentin example of how if we aktarmıştınız collection?A German comedian Karl Valentin. Noticed while doing research about the cabaret. German aesthetics, and a great story of a man with him, I was caught. Outside the Bavarian town of Man and his many unhatched. One out of having a lot of Germans, but only within their own location. When Hollywood makes the world a man of Munich, but not so easy to recognize, however, have your way intersection. There are special stance against Karl's life. Some skills duruştandır. The anatomy of the man enough! Long-legged, skinny man, and often likes to wear socks. I chose to make the socks-pants and tight shirts. Karl Valentin and ID cards have photos on the shirts. On the mother, father and little by little information about him there. People wanted to recognize him.Was Karl Valentin character influenced the colors you use?The man made the performance of most of the pub. Are dealing with black humor. I wanted to give it the atmosphere of the collection. There were dark colors. Smoke color, white. After all comedians, laugh, have a well. So I used the green and fuchsia. We see a photograph of playing the accordion. For this reason, I have shirts in front of the plication, such as the accordion drop-down shirts. That year, for me, Karl Valentin Yılı'ydı; hold Christmas cards, greeting people, music, playing music until studio ...Finally, we heard your name Istanbul Mantolanıyor project. What is the purpose of the project?This is a project aimed at creating awareness on energy saving. My latest collection in the United States signaled Amis living the life of the commune. Modern life that rejects the story of a start from 1500 and I wanted to manipulate the lives of people. Blue Kale's proposal was in the same period. My koleksiyonumla human being and the real message I want to give a defense of human values. The two projects also include an approach for the protection of the power we have. Jacketing; preserve, protect is the meaning. Let's put this another way, the structures that make Istanbul mantolanması, the houses we live in is mantolanması. Haydarpasa Train Station in line with this project, I, Akmerkez, University of Istanbul, Galata Tower Building and the exact models of Sarkusyan mantoladım tasarımlarımla. Then these models were exhibited. I should say that this is a promotional project. Sarkuysan'ı only, not the wrapping of Galata, a project about the life mantolamakla.Architectures with different dates and these structures should take note of what you dressed?I took out the sex and identities of the buildings, female, male and androgen in the form netlike set. Haydarpasa for example, a meeting point, a destination and the road condition. This is why I wanted to try the mantle and the overcoats. Men and women with the status of being told. Sarkuysan a very special woman. Galata Tower, masculine, Akmerkez androjendi. Istanbul University is a wise woman. Therefore, it was the darkest color.

I know that some of the apparel brands in the co-operation. how everything suddenly?In fact, every minute of the need to sanctify life. I also I try to do this too. I live period, country, city, sitting on the right foundations of society, yet can not see a consciousness, definitions and approaches into the qualities of carrying on a bit more difficult and demanding labor there. Less sleep. Much effort. No night life, and dinlencelerim. 'm Trying to motivate.What you plan for the rest? At the moment on what your dreams?I want to make performances more special, more special points to increase my efforts to produce and support to become more authentic. Without coercion. ... The street, their attitude and fashion as possible ritimlerimle, street design, qualified to be carriers. To be happy. My face turn to rain. Wind run, I want to get wet. Being in love with. Over and over again and again to be me ...

FAP- Filles a Papa




FILLES A PAPA

Chic is fine as long as it is done their way, classic is ok as long as it is deconstructed, sportwear only if it becomes glamorous. Each piece is cut to allow the wearer to party and live everyday life in comfort. The creative duo offers girls a sparkly manifesto of independence. Their fashion is a message of freedom, a figure-hugging one.
The energy of the collections unashamedly cultivates a mixture of contrast between day and night, ultimate chic and dressed-down casual. The girls shy away from nothing. They have fun and show it through their hot, chic, glam and very rock looks.

Filles a papa is the artistic project of two belgian designers. Sarah 'the Blond', achieved her academic diploma from the French Fashion Design School, Esmod International while her sister, Carole 'the Brunette', studied in Bruxelles studying Graphic Design. They have launched their 6th Collection that will have you grasping for more and 'turning on' your Fashion Instincts. They dress the "Modest", who like themselves, refuse to take themselves seriously. With that said, Filles A Papa was created for the Flirtatious yet Serious Shopper.
More ambitious than ever, their first drawings were thrown on canvas back in 2009, during the time they lived in NYC. Sunken into the Cosmopolitan Lifestyle of the Big Apple, these young designers immersed themselves into the 'Avant Gardiste' world of multi-culture and embraced NYC by storm. The Collections has pieces that flirt with the Las Vegas style mixed with the Sportswear of Los Angeles but is much associated with the seducing nights of Ibiza straight to your straw that's sinking in your Mojito from Barcelona.

A fantastic video produced by stamp.

Skin was made in association with Garage Magazine to mark the launch issue, and was made possible by the generosity of Christie's, the world's leading art business, and W Hotels.HERE

What encapsulates London fashion for you? “London is such an eclectic and unpredictable place. This is reflected in the way people present themselves and in the broad spectrum of designers that the city produces. London is a really good environment to absorb what inspires you and make of it what you will. Anything goes.” read more here

LFW 2012

So London Fashion week is drawing to an end and after hours of traipsing around the city comparing Manolo's with other fashionistas and comparing goody bags it is time to review the shows. Burberry received dramatic press coverage due to the rather over the top rain situation, Cara let the models down the catwalk, leaving Eddie Redmayne on the bench!



Topshop Unique channelled Military along side McQ. The six year old brand of McQ hit the catwalk for the first time ever under the watchful eye of Sarah Burton who shook out the key elements of the McQueen aesthetic—the romance, the dark glamour, the mind-blowing tailoring—and, rather than dumbing them down, expressed them in an accessible way. The collection's group of military-inspired menswear, a Persian lamb collar on a trench gave the coat a sense of specificity and richness, while the battered knit of an army crewneck provided the sweater with that McQueen note.

 Mary Katrantzou didnt under achieve with a superb collection in a variety of exceptional colours. keeping to her roots using faboulous fabric designs and some beautiful structured pieces as well as some more floaty edwardian feeling pieces.
