Overload with white. Meet Culture of Excess collection and the designer Mirela Cioară

July 29th, 2019 / by Alina Aliman / in: Dazzling stories / No responses

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… ...

A journey Out of Time with the designer Andreea Pleșa

July 26th, 2019 / by Alina Aliman / in: Dazzling stories / No responses

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 ...

Proust și ciocolată în colecția Kiss Gyöngyvér – interviu cu designerul

July 22nd, 2019 / by Alina Aliman / in: Dazzling stories / No responses

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 ...

Uniformele industriale se mută pe catwalk – interviu cu designerul Cerasela Nicoară

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 ...

Colecția LuxLumen a strălucit la gala UAD 2019 – interviu cu designerul Tudor Halațiu

July 9th, 2019 / by Alina Aliman / in: Dazzling stories / No responses

Cred că Tudor a știut de la început că va fi pe podium. Altfel, cum mi-ar fi zis încă de anul trecut că sigur, sigur vom face poze împreună pentru proiectul meu cu designeri de pe www.dreamingof.net? Glumesc. Cu siguranță însă a știut perfect unde vrea să ajungă. Și a muncit mult ...

The summer decalogue from KAN Brand

June 24th, 2019 / by Alina Aliman / in: Dazzling stories / No responses

A dress is not ever just a dress. It’s an amazing cocktail of feeling, music, images that a simple touch of fabric and the windy wave of a wide sleeve can trace back memories from the holidays, a soft smell of some lemons in a summer morning, the glimpse of a fashion icon in her glory moments, a ...

We are the Odd People – a talk with the designer Jene Park

May 24th, 2019 / by Alina Aliman / in: Dazzling stories / No responses

Until I saw the Odd People Spring/Summer 2019 collection I didn’t have any idea that a bunch of ruffles in fifty shades of pink, a crystal thunderbolt and a skull, some joggers and the “Don’t Call Me Baby” hoodies would steal my heart. “I wanted this collection to mix the LA vintage rock ...

Eyes on the trends: flash Q&A with the designer Venera Arapu

May 1st, 2019 / by Alina Aliman / in: Dazzling stories / No responses

If I had to say, fast, one of the few names that stay cool & relevant in Romanian fashion industry over the years, I would say, without blinking, Venera Arapu. That Romanian designer that was always ahead trends. Actually, I think if a trend didn’t exist, she kind of… inventing it. Venera ...

My 6 designer stories from AUTOR 2019

April 20th, 2019 / by Alina Aliman / in: Dazzling stories / 1 Response

I was expecting a house full of jewellery. I have found a space filled with stories. At AUTOR 2019, more than on other editions before, contemporary jewellery was different, telling some stories about power, diversity, human emotions and (of course), beauty.  I have seen cute jewellery ...

Raise your hands if you love Tara Lalić designs

April 14th, 2019 / by Alina Aliman / in: Dazzling stories / No responses

Spoiler: I did! A collection just perfect to be in a Sci-Fi movie. A very nice and friendly Serbian designer. And a mix of bright colours, interesting designs and some 3D printed accessories. These are the perfect triggers to face the rain and the wind and to go see V Fair #22 edition. And, of ...
