information right here...

Be inspired by anything and everything.
or
Be inspired by the masters.
Influences come from everywhere in the
entire universe, and yet, fashion dies the minute you wear it.
The subsequent time it is referred to as “so last year” , and by
the 3rd or fourth time, the clothes you wear have
almost become “vintage”. The only constant is “true style” and
to help you achieve that, I will share information about the 7
elements of fashion with you. The secret is to identify these
categories and, if you choose sparsely from these elements (say
2 or 3 at a specific time), you can be “in fashion” this coming
2008/2009 season, AND remain stylishly correct. If all 7 (and
even more) is applied simultaneously, you might be referred to
as freaky and even be wasting your money faster than you think.
To keep it
simple; fashion consists of Colour, Texture, Fabric, Cut,
Lengths, Accessories, and Silhoettes. When you combine these
individual characteristics, you create your own individual look,
and THAT is what is really “IN” fashion for the 2008/2009 look.
Be yourself; take from fashion what suits you best and
project individuality. Be inspired by everything and anything!
The greatest
designers in the world take this into account when creating new
runway collections, and each designer will project his favourite
category by exaggerating his individual fancy. This endless,
mystical ballet of talented geniuses continues to dream up a
magical world that infatuates and displays. We aspire to this
vast desire for the “new”, by simply asking: What should we
wear this coming season? Well, this is what you do for
2008/2009:
Choose your muse, and be inspired by
the masters!

Although
Mr Yves Saint Laurent passed away this
year, he leaves a legacy that will continue to inspire many
fashionistas. Stefano Pilati
perpetuated Mr Laurent’s idea of elegance and enchanted with his
precisely sliced silhoettes predicted for 2008/2009.
For
Christian Dior, Mr John
Galliano used images of Me Jacky Kennedy and Me Audrey
Hepburn in their newest collection, almost copying the look, but
injecting more modern fabrics. For his own label he was
inspired by Art Deco images, bright colours, sheerness and
weightlessness of fabrics.
Mr Karl Lagerfeld (for Chanel)
had fun demistifynig the classics: His coats are longer, his
jackets have belts, and asymmetric detail adorns his satin
evening gowns. And for his own label, he embreced the non
colours: black and white, which he loves so much.
Mr Cristian Lacroix
have opted to stay with couture, and experimented with balloon
sleeves, cowl backs, ruffles, and combining the colours: fuchsia
and old gold.
Kenzo’s
muse, Sayoko, (actor, dancer and artist who was the first image
of the Kenzo house) inspired a range that is rich in
reminiscence, sumptuous in colours, and his shapes and volumes
recalled the kimono.
Mr Valentino
retired, but successor Allessandra
Faschinetti proved that the only constant should be change.
Lines are softer and shapes are rounder, and now, for the more
contemporary fashion addics.
Christophe Decamin (at Balbain)
launched the
shorter than short mini, and predicted that gowns will really
“hug” the body this coming season. Tight pants, tank tops,
tuxedo spencers and printed jeans sizzled on the runway.
Silks and chiffon
will be embellished by ruffles and frills at
Givenchy. Mr Riccardo Tisci (Head
designer for Givenchy) had just been to Spain and brought back
to fashion, the black graphic silhoettes that recall the great
nobility of Spain.
Alexander McQueen
paid tribute to Norman Hartnell and Hardy Ajimes, the designers
of the 1950’s wardrobe of Elizabeth the 2nd. He
remembered the Victorian era and used antique jewellery,
bustiers and empire waistlines.
At
Simon Rademan, we will celebrate
femininity in 2008/2009, full length, flowing gowns in textured
combinations and “happy” colours… We will remain chic, re-invent
elegance, project true style, but inspire strength and
rediscover romance… where women will be women again, …and men
will be men!
So, be it the
colour, or the cut, or the fabric, or whatevever catches your
eye, apply what suits you best. And have fun.
Fashion
has always been here. It is yours … IF you want it!
