Damir Doma’s Paris Store


Damir Doma’s own store in Paris is worth the hunt and is one of our favourite retail spaces in the city. Opened in late 2008 and reminiscent of the palette of black and ash gray used by the designer, the store offers a compelling insight into the consciousness of one of fashion’s leading lights. Behind an austere metallic…

Henrik Vibskov Body-Building Exhibition at La Galerie des Galeries, Paris


As part of the Spaces for Fantasy exhibition that looks to combine fantastical elements and space opera, Henrik Vibskov has channelled his view of desire and architecture with an inflatable structure in varying shades of pink.  By distorting the viewer’s perception of the trans-formative power of body-building, the creation allows you to enter what is intended to be…

Café Vue, Melbourne


Situated on the Melbourne’s most prestigious boulevard as part of a interesting new development, Café Vue adds a little ”je ne sais quoi’ to typical lunchtime fare down under. Designed by Elenberg Fraser, the bold decor of Café Vue is inspired by Paris’ iconic royal Château Versailles. The cafe’s centrepiece is a unique wooden chandelier-esque crinoline structure that houses one of the…

Menswear A/W 2010/11 Venues


One of the most exciting elements of any great collection is the venue in which it is shown. And now that the menswear shows are over, we can look back at some of the most compelling…   Kris Van Assche’s A/W 2010 ‘Coal’ collection for Dior Homme was inspired, in its entirety, by the fossil…

Menswear A/W 2010/11 – Paris Runway Review


Next season’s menswear, shown in Paris last week, seemed to revolve around a similar ethos – a reinterpretation of the classics; familiar shapes expressing different aesthetics. Stefano Pilati set the tone for the season with his foray into the juxtaposition of structure and draping. His sophisticated take on the classic ‘overall’ seemed a well-timed frivolity, whilst his…

Raf Simons Autumn/Winter 2010/11


Raf Simons is a firm 4 favourite. His somewhat ambiguous collection for Autumn/Winter 2010 was full of technical innovations and we may see velcro keeping mens suits together should Mr Simons get his way. The Belgian designer took pleasure this season in presenting a collection that tested the constraints of gender. Models were sent down the…

Damir Doma’s Autumn/Winter 2010/11 Collection


4 favourite, Damir Doma presented his Fall/Winter 2010/11 collection last week in Paris. In short, we loved it. Draped, hooded, pleated, pintucked and layered, Doma’s collection was an exploration of volume, in muted shades of charcoal, slate and ash. Each look had its own narrative, distinct from its predecessor yet still in keeping with the cohesion…

Curiouser & Curiouser


It feels like we’ve been waiting ages for the release of Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland. But before Johnny Depp, Anne Hathaway and Helena Bonham Carter hit the screen in March, dresses inspired by the story will hit Printemps in Paris in February. In honor of Lewis Carroll’s story and Tim Burton’s film, the Parisian…

Maison Martin Margiela SS10


A good Margiela runway presentation always includes deliberate confusion, and this show was no exception. The first Martin Margiela show since Margiela himself anounced he was to leave his post as artistic director from the noted fashion house. The clothes were more colorful than expected. Think hues of teals and greens, coppers and and even…

Alexander McQueen SS10: Plato’s Atlantis

Spectacular Paris SS10 Show Venue Designs


At the SS2010 Women’s collections in Paris, a host of designers offered as much of a spectacle in the venue and set design as the clothes on the catwalk! From Lagerfeld’s barn for Chanel to New York artist Trey Speegle’s painting by numbers for Stella McCartney (above), there was plenty to take in before the models…

Rick Owens SS10


“This season I thought it was time to lighten up… My approach to pretty.” -  Rick Owens’ take on the reason behind his SS10 collection. From the video below filmed this season in Paris, you can see how the ‘King of monochrome’ has softened his style but his trademark remains through asymmetric, biker jackets and…
