Nothing says better “fall” than a day in the English countryside: the light, the mood, the sweet colours of the landscape. Add to that a very talented photographer, Mark Borthwick, some cool models as Khadim Sock, Lina Zhang and Giedre Dukauskaite and you can see the entire picture of a very ...

August 16th, 2019 / by Alina Aliman / in: Cool things / No responses

I’ll know what I will wear next summer. At least I am pretty sure what I will have in my luggage for a sunny trip in Copenhagen. A lot of white and blue shirts, skirts with clean cuts and some asymmetrical pants, loose fabrics and the most summerish cotton dresses. Of course, and some ...

DZHUS’ anatomy: a look at the collection for fall/winter 2019/2020

August 12th, 2019 / by Alina Aliman / in: Cool things / No responses

It’s a little bit weird, I know. It’s a mix of some geometry and a lot of calculated architecture in Irina Dzhus’ clothes. It’s about order. And it’s black and white. Add to that an enormous amount of talent and beauty. Three years after I have discovered her designs, I am still amazed. ...

“Women think of all colors except the absence of color. I have said that black has it all. White too. Their beauty is absolute. It is the perfect harmony”, said Gabrielle Chanel. And, as a girl white a black & white obsession (at least when it comes to clothes), I couldn’t be happier. ...

OK, I cheated a bit, because Mirela Cioară collection wasn’t all about white - but as usual, the details are in the eye of the beholder. Her collection, Culture of Excess, was nothing less that the title let me thought about it: a lot of elaborate details, laces, embroidery, pearls, stitches… ...

I was pretty sure that I would love Andreea Pleșa master collection. Not only because I saw some pieces in backstage and I felt the fabrics, but also because I also loved her graduation collection (READ here about it). The cool & fluid jumpers with some twisted details, the perfect trenches ...

Mereu mi-am imaginat cât de dificil trebuie să fie pentru un designer să prezinte ultimul, într-o gală în care toți ceilalți încearcă să dea tot ce-i mai bun din ei. Însă colecția prezentată de Kiss Gyöngyvér, la Gala UAD Fashion Design 2019, a demonstrat că, uneori, așteptarea ...

July 17th, 2019 / by Alina Aliman / in: Dazzling stories / No responses

A fost, aș spune, dragoste la prima vedere. Poate pentru că mi-am putut imagina, într-o secundă, unde și cum pot purta hainele prezentate de Cerasela Nicoară pe podiumul Galei UAD Fashion Design 2019. „Uniformele de la Drumuri și Poduri s-au mutat pe runway”, spune ea că ar putea fi ...
