Lights, Camera, Interaction

A theatrical production with as much time and effort put into the clothing as into the entire atmosphere of the show. 1920s backstage, girls with dark smoky brown eyes and greased up bodies lazing over cellos & art deco chairs. The pieces were of soft pinks, lace in browns & black, sequins & cheetah print. The props were lamps, open encyclopedias, vases, stacks of books and fake palm fronds and roses spray painted in red, white and black. Another step in the interactivity of fashion week being streamed live through every social media platform you could imagine, here the bloggers could talk to the models, grab quotes to go with their instagrams and creative direct them for their perfect shot.

Redken Hair Director Richard Kavanagh

SS12/13 Inspiration: Nostalgic Prints, Graeme Base Books, Tonal Exploration, Noah’s Ark meets Baroque Florals, Ladylike Sportswear

What’s your favorite piece? I love the Animalia stripe print long gown. It’s simple yet instantly makes a statement. I think it shows off the power of an amazing print.

What’s the hair inspiration for the collection? The hair is a modern reinterpretation of a nostalgic hairstyle, reminiscent of a decade past.

Where’s your head at right now? All over the place. In my prints, in my show – I think I may need some sleep.

Tech addiction: Definitely instagram!

Singing it Loud and Clear

What an incredible presentation. Song for the Mute have moved out of their comfort zone of signature drapery and into unknown territory: all layers, structured tailoring with a sport edge in monotone greys and blacks. The installation was a real tribute to their philosophy on fashion which is based on an artistic attitude, designing around emotion rather than trend.
