Cool Campaign for Swedish Dept Store

Cyril Style — Wed, 13 Aug 2008 16:59:28 +0000

Super Cool Campaign For Swedish Department Store, created by Hemmendorff same guy who made the Nike Air Max Burger

Words from the Art Director :

In this campaign we needed to do two things:
1. Highlight the brands that would lure passing locals and tourists into the department store.
2. Show a LOT of the new seasons clothes, and the range of styles available in the different stores.
We also felt the need of saying it in a pretty aggresive, in-your-face tone. This, combined with the fact that this campaign would start at May 1st(international labour movement day, “celebrated” with political rallys in Sweden) resulted in the concept of a demonstration rally. A fashionable demonstration rally.

Zimmermann’s Cruise 08/09 Collection

Mini Boss — Wed, 13 Aug 2008 16:54:21 +0000

“If Sydney were personified, she’d be bronzed, brazen, and almost certainly wearing a Zimmermann bikini, so synonymous has the sunny Australian label become with Australian style.” - Sydney Morning Herald. It has been more than 17 years since sisters Nicky and Simone founded the Zimmermann aesthetic. Made up of feminine prints, structure, and an evident nostalgia the Cruise Collection 08/09 look book is a great measure of these sisters trend forward perspective.

Cyril Style — Mon, 11 Aug 2008 17:22:31 +0000

Kind of a Mix between Raf Simmons, Comme Des Garcons and Stone Island, Parisian designer Eric Lebon clearly shows his streetwear background. It is only his third collection, but has generated massive buzz with his unusual silhouettes and cuts. The collection includes a wide array of pieces ranging from oversized shirts to unique fitting jackets and interestingly cut outerwear, in fascinating materials. [ Via Gorilli ]

Melissa Shoes Collabs

Mini Boss — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 16:44:26 +0000

Just about to hit stores are the two collaborations that Melissa did with Hometown designer, Alexandre Herchcovitch, and Vivennne Westwood. I have always been kind of on the line with Melissa shoes. I like the concept but I’m very particular about shoes and have never considered buying a pair till now.

MELISSA X HERCHCOVITCH

Dancing Dreams
The acclaimed designer Alexandre Herchcovitch signs a surprising model for Melissa, once again. After ultra feminine runaway successes Scarfun and Glam, Herchcovitch`s stake for winter 08 is inspired by the masculine footwear. Glam was an absolute success even outside the Brazilian frontiers, running out in a week at the fashion temple of Colette in Paris. With strong influence of androgen looks, Melissa Joy + Alexandre Herchcovitch is a paradox. The girl power is emphasized by a classic male model, which composes any look, giving it an unusual touch. The color chart pursues the line’s daringness. Imagine a masculine classic with the plastic shimmer in colors: black, gold, green, yellow, purple, red and pink. Not even the black and white classic was left out, and Melissa Joy + Alexandre Herchcovitch has its version. Partner of Melissa for four years, Herchcovitch surprises at each launch and winter 08 could not be different, Melissa Joy + Alexandre Herchcovitch launches as a season hit.

Vivienne Westwood Anglomania Mary Jane

With a retro inspiration, round beak, high heels and ultrafeminine, Vivienne Westwood Anglomania Mary Jane + Melissa comes in vibrant colors such as red, fuchsia, navy blue, green, besides classic beje, latex, black and white.

Bantu Wax : Africa Remixed

Mini Boss — Tue, 05 Aug 2008 17:52:21 +0000

Bantu Wax is a new brand with a socially conscious business of delivering fashion to the western world while creating opportunity in the designer, Yodit Eklund’s homeland of Africa. When Yodit was conceptualizing this new brand she was not set on what direction it would take but that whatever it was it would have to give back to Africa. With this mission of creating industry in Africa and allowing women to earn a living in an honest and safe way came Bantu. Bantu is the translation or integration of the original source of African fashion, the wax cloth, into wearable western fashion.

Glue Jeans

Cyril Style — Thu, 31 Jul 2008 17:48:32 +0000

We love innovation—and the fashion business certainly needs more not less—but it’s a risky business. For every good idea, there’s ten different bad ones. Check the new glued-together patches of denim.

Comme Louis Vuitton

Mini Boss — Fri, 25 Jul 2008 17:16:08 +0000

Rei Kawakubo, President of Comme des Garçons, says: “These are party bags to celebrate the 30 years of Louis Vuitton in Japan. In designing them, I have kept Louis Vuitton’s traditional concept as it is, but sometimes two handles become one, sometimes two handles become eight… It has been a remarkably exciting opportunity for me to have been able to participate in Louis Vuitton’s traditional design and heritage.”

In an extraordinary collaboration, Louis Vuitton, the ultimate French luxury brand, and Rei Kawakubo of Comme des Garcons, the ultimate fashion rebel, will open a joint Tokyo store in September – an ephemeral three-month space where six one-off bags, designed by Kawakubo in the LV monogram pattern, can be ordered by shoppers. This will take place in the Omotesando Commes Des Shop. Kawakubo has re-designed the entire Comme des Garcons store on Kottodori, Omotesando for the Vuitton project. Carcelle says that LV is investing in the store, and that any financial profits will be divided.

“The Tent City” : Henrik Vibskov SS09

Mini Boss — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 16:53:20 +0000

I don’t really know how I feel about Henrik Vibskov’s Mens SS09 Collection, except that I am not as excited as usual. His show concept, “The Tent City”, is definitely fabulous and original as usual. There are definitely great pieces throughout the collection but the styling really does not set me free.

Viktor & Rolf Team Up With Diesel Powerhouse!?

Mini Boss — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 17:24:22 +0000

VIKTOR & ROLF has had an injection of Diesel power - fashion heavyweight Renzo Rosso has purchased a majority stake in the cult Dutch fashion label.

The two powerhouses have reportedly been in talks since September 2006, but have been taking things slowly to ensure the deal - of which details have not been disclosed - is right for both parties.

Design duo Viktor Horsting and Rolf Snoeren have admitted they were impressed by Diesel boss Rosso’s handling of Maison Martin Margiela, a similarily concept-led label, which his Only the Brave holding acquired in 2002.

“It’s a new chapter to start building on the brand and to focus on creativity,” a buoyant Rolf Snoeren tells WWD. “We needed to team up with a strong partner to realize our dreams. It’s like a marriage: You have to be sure you have the right partner. What we like most [about Rosso] is his openness toward creativity and out-of-the-box thinking.”

On the agenda are investments to bolster the duo’s ready-to-wear business, add new lines - including eyewear and jewellery - and open freestanding stores to raise the Viktor & Rolf profile worldwide.

FASHION FORWARD SPONSORSHIP WINNERS ANNOUNCED

Mini Boss — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 17:03:57 +0000

The British Fashion Council today announces that designers Christopher Kane, Erdem, Marios Schwab and Roksanda Ilincic have been chosen to receive British Fashion Council Fashion Forward sponsorship.
The scheme, established two years ago, provides financial support to UK-based designers who are in the early stages of developing their business and have already established a profile at London Fashion Week. The award, partly supported this season by the London Development Agency, consists of a substantial cash prize, to be used towards producing an on-schedule catwalk show at London Fashion Week, and has been previously won by Giles Deacon, Jonathan Saunders, Richard Nicoll, Jens Laugesen and Sinha-Stanic. Christopher Kane, Erdem and Marios Schwab are all being awarded Fashion Forward sponsorship for the first-time. Roksanda Ilincic is a recipient for the second time.

Christopher Kane receives Fashion Forward sponsorship for the first time. He has shown for four seasons under New Gen sponsorship and has built the label into a major player and a key contributor to trends, demonstrating a contemporary, progressive vision. Christopher’s pieces are greatly desired around the world, stocked in Harvey Nichols, Browns, Barneys, Dover Street Market, Maria Louisa, Corsocomo and Joyce.

Erdem, the London ready-to-wear line established in 2005 by Erdem Moralioglu, receives Fashion Forward sponsorship for the first time this season. The label has won plaudits for its signature look which fuses sharp, forward tailoring with romanticism and bold graphic custom designed silk prints. In 2007, Erdem Moralioglu was awarded the British Fashion Council Fashion Enterprise Award sponsored by Swarovski.

Marios Schwab also receives his first season of Fashion Forward sponsorship. He has shown on schedule at London Fashion Week since Spring/Summer 2006. His most recent show SS08 was chosen as one of the top ten shows of the season by Style.com. Marios Schwab was awarded Best New Designer at the British Fashion Awards in 2006. In 2007 he was the winner of the Swiss Textiles Award.

Roksanda Ilincic receives Fashion Forward sponsorship for the second season. She started her own label in 2003, and immediately became feted for her demi-couture, and beautifully crafted clothing, which combines elements of 40s and 50s Parisian haute couture with a modern feminine silhouette. With six shows at London Fashion Week under her belt, Roksanda Ilincic has seen her star rise considerably in the last 8 months, since Browns held an exclusive trunk show for their VIP customers, this was followed by the announcement she had won Fashion Forward sponsorship, and added her first London department store, Harvey Nichols, to her stockists.
