ROmanian Apparel

Romanian Apparel-Teasing from julien britnic on Vimeo.

A few days ago I've stumbled upon this teaser of the Romanian Apparel collection created by Lana on Vice , and I fell in love with it from the first second. Also, there was this funny description which perfectly sums up the Romanian style and culture.

"we have termopans
we have electronic musik, popular musi, easy musik
we have art, contemporary
we have mici, smalls, you know
we have design
we have traffic and we have jam, plums jam, very good
we have nice cars and beautiful girls
we have mountains, nice rocks and good beach
we have capital, big capital, bukarest, we have romanian apparel"

After seeing the pics from the entire collection I was stunned and awed with the beauty, simplicity and the"back-to-basics" air that the dresses give to me.

What do you think about the idea of the collection ?

Like a paper bag

While I was looking through some of my favorite blogs and magazines online, I found this incredible article about a freshly graduated Dutch designer, Ilvy Jacobs, who takes a great interest in paper bags.

''Designing bags is her specialization and for her graduation collection She’s refering to the bag as a packing function. From thinking about packing and packaging, Ilvy started to investigate ways to create a longer duration through a form and/or material addition. Hereby the bags get more value for the user. The tactile aspects of the material and sustainability are very important in her work. ''

Here are some of her unique designs :

Fruits all the way

For this spring one of the biggest trend brought by designers are the fruit prints . From Stela McCartney to Prada , Suno , Zack Posen and Wunderkind

Prada went on creating minimalist designs in bright neon colors a little bit retro and very very chic. Throughout these amazing pieces, it was brought to light am amazing banana print, funny and light which charmed me to death . 

Another thing that I loved about the Prada ss 2011 collection was the incredible promo video, which reminded me of Carmen Mirand. Full of joy, singing and dancing while wearing a fruit hat. 

	Stela McCartney chose a different direction - she showed a citrus mi : oranges , lemons , grapefruits  and put on a simple white background which could easily highlight the print and the contrast between them. Even though Stela McCartney is not one of my favourites, this collection really put me in a good mood and showed me that she is so much more than I originally thought

Other designers chose other type of fruits for their collection , even though it represented only a detail or a whole print. For example Wunderkid chose cherry printed dresses and skirts, Zac Posen chose fruits only as a detail - look at the melon brooch ,

Apples are a very popular choise for Suno , Miu Miu and Luisa Beccaria while Moschino Chic and Cheap chose the pear print .

Do you like this trend or not ?
