MILAN AW 2014 COLOR PRINTS
THE PRINT FAIRY TALE
When Ricardo Tasci bring back the print trend couple of seasons before for Givenchy. The print became so trendy each season. And for this season in Milan, prints still going on here. Jacquard prints at Sportmax were inspired by Jackson Pollock paintings, while Karl Lagerfeld created a patchwork of faded abstract prints at Fendi. And Marni designer Consuelo Castiglioni took the work of German artist Magnus Plessen and translated it into simple dresses. Those mixing style color prints bring a rich autumnal color to the fashion week. The Russian textiles, paisley panel prints, enchanted forest prints, birds and woodland animals, pop arts, expressive brush geometrics all became designer’s inspiration. Those beautiful shapes, constructed line, and amazing colors are fascinating. As the technology developed, the textile become more and more sophiscated and delicate. The prints are definitely the trend for next season and will be hotter after. WESTERN BONIME

“I WAS IN SEARCH OF SIMPLICITY.”
HAIDER ACKERMANN
Haider Ackermann, the one who always surprised us, has given us clothes that represent precisely who he is, what he do best, and the reason everyone stood up and paid attention in the first place. With Ackermann, there has always been a symbiosis between masculine and feminine, and the sumptuousness in simplicity. sinuous robe coats in mushroom-colored wool and the clean, fluid pants that puddle at the floor. Two black crepe dresses—one with a satin skirt, the other with a chestnut-and-black houndstooth—struck the ideal balance between elegance, age, and sensuality. They had short sleeves with a wrap top and then the fabric ever-so-delicately skimmed its way down the body until about mid-thigh. Haider Ackermann makes menswear for women, however he dosent make them borrow from boys. The genius only adapts those traditional silhouettes, fabrics, and tailoring to create clothes that only complement a woman’s body and attitude. For my point of view, he brings another way of women, or showing another side of women, as Ackermann encouraged his models backstage, “to face life with gracefulness and just go.” WESTERN BONIME

QIU HAO
He may seem like a natural born artist, but this up and coming fashion designer relatively new to the creative world. Qiuhao grew up in China in Shanghai. He has a Bachelor on Graphic Design, and got his MFA in Central St Martin London. While Qiuhao may not use his Graphic Desgin degree today, an analytical connection can still be seen within his garments. Qiuhao draws inspiration from geometric shapes and transfers these proportion into his designs. He was his clothes to have an avant-garde sophistication by creating very tailored and engineered garments. In one of his recent collection inspired by at the world-renowned artist Jim Denevan, He was able to create a collection based upon the ideas of naturalistic sculpture and geometric inventiveness. He took different elements of the earth like, the texture of grainy sand, to influence beaded designs, and the waves in sand dunes, to guide her knitwear design. Right angles seemed to encompass the body in sartorial elegance. Jacket closures created circular shapes and overlaid panels of fabric gave the illusion of a mathematic grid system. For no doubt, Qiuhao definitely one of the most talented designer now days in China, and I am believe he will be launching his show soon in Paris, to represents the fashion force in China.

CHENGDU
Chengdu, the place where the Panda and MaPo toufu come from, this traditional and historical city in China, has her own soul. Located in western China, the capital of Sichuan province. Chengdu also one of the most important economic, transportation, and communication centers in Western China. When we talk about Chengdu, there is two things we always mention, one is the food, and the other one is fashion. Seem like Chengdu people are naturally born as a fashion people. They are always on the trend, even faster than Shanghai. This is a city actually mixing the tradition and fashion together. It is not surprise when you find a girl on Chengdu’s street, in a Rick Owens Jacket, Balenciaga Skirt and a Alexander Wang Clutch. Everyone have their own style, all the girls on the street with delicate make up and sophisticated clothing style. Chengdu maybe not open like Shanghai, or historical like Beijing, but still you can see fashion here. People wear the clothes that represent themselves. You may seen lots of man in black suit at 8am in Shanghai subway, but here in Chengdu, you will see lots of people in Navy Blue, Dark Red, even sometimes Light Pink. It is extremely fun when you walk on the street in Chengdu, they more like San Francisco, lots of hills. And the pace of life here is slow. People enjoy each moment of their lives. This is Chengdu, a mountain city, a fashion peak.

He has his own definition of fashion, he don’t like the fashion in generally, he only care about the cut. That’s why the each of Yohji Yamamoto piece has different sewing techniques. Sometimes, fit your body perfectly, sometimes losing your body in much way, but for sure all in black. In this movie, you can see an old man all in black, with grey hair, cigarettes in hand.

I’M VERY DRIVEN BY WHAT I DO. I AM CERTAINLY VERY COMPETITIVE. I LIKE PEOPLE WHO REPRESENT THE BEST AT WHAT THEY DO. IF THAT TURNS YOU INTO A PERFECTIONIST THEN MAYBE I AM. — ANNA WINTOUR
ANNA WINTOUR
Who can say “No” to the real devil in Prada, I guess no one. The September Issue is a documentary film based on Vogue office. Hilariously, the movie is actually published after the Devil in Prada, a movie based on Anna WIntour, and after that movie, she decide to make her own movie in real Vogue office. In somehow, Anna is more tough and strong than Miranda Priestly. She is strict to everything; this powerful lady has her own theory of fashion. That is why we have the best issue every month. In the movie, the drama between Anna and Grace is absolutely fascinating. Those two geniuses work together for more than decades, they still argue with each other, they showing respect to each other, maybe Grace is the more weakness than Anna. But still they have their own concept they have to stick on, that is the reason why Vogue always in the peak of fashion industry. When Anna went to see the pre show of Yves Saint Laurent design by Nicolas Ghesquière. Her face was cold, Nicolas was extremely nervous. She just left one comment, “I don’t see any color.” And Nicolas was point out that winter supposes to be in dark somehow, Anna just refuses to give any comment, and even does not looking at him. In this pilot, you finally realize how powerful she is, and her own aesthetic is the trend for next season. Also when he asks the techy to photoshop the photographer’s body more slim. And Grace have a diiferent opinion that Grace thought, it is more nature to show the photographer in a real way, because not everyone in fashion should be slim like a model. However Anna was insist to her own opinion, and Grace finally step back. It is a movie that shows you how the real fashion world is. I have been watching this movie more than 5 times, every time after I watched it, I start think of myself. As a fashion student, no matter what, even a single stich, we have to make it perfectly and never give up you dream. And fashion is definitely something that I want to do for my whole life.
