Elisabetta Franchi – The “Eternal” Collection

Known for her feminine design, embracing both smart and sensual looks, the Italian designer Elisabetta Franchi offered us an array of column dresses, chic pantsuits, hourglass blazers, and mini dresses during the first day of the FW, 20/04. It was a celebration of various textures, with sequined, full-length evening dresses, crystal intarsias, layers of chiffon, golden fringe, and feather-like, white, floral ornaments.

It was all about glimmer and glamour, but in a highly elegant and powerful tone. The strong makeup, with smoky eyes and nude lips, complemented by long, golden earrings and necklaces made a statement of majestic and goddess-like femininity. The collection, with its colour palette revolving around a classic set of black, white, ivory, metallic silver, golden, and claret, presented not only smart suits, and minimalistic and form-fitting dresses, but also had a sexy touch to it, with cut-outs, transparent blouses, blazers modified into mini dresses, and glittering, crystal-embroidered silver mini dresses paired up with high leather boots or complemented by an impressive chiffon trail.

The cherry on top? Franchi’s identification mark – classy high heels, with the brand’s logo incorporated in the heel – for the goddesses to stride boldly. 

“Peri Therous” By Dassios

This Athens-based designer’s collection was the greatest tribute to the rich Hellenic heritage we saw during day two, if not during the whole Fashion Week.

Every model, with colourful (usually blue or red) eye shadows, ethnic earrings, and most standing-out garlands, brought to mind representations of the Greek goddess of the hearth and home, Hestia, who – for this one day – appeared in front of our eyes in flesh and blood, wearing long dresses and togas in the colours of nature.

They were airy and mostly broad, with long sleeves, but very sensual at the same time, with deep necklines and half-transparent fabrics. It was a harmonious celebration of colours and large prints, inspired by Greek traditional garments, worn by models of different looks and age groups. Majestic Hellenic femininity at its finest. 

“Daydreaming A Poem For Katia” By Celebrity Skin – Daydreaming It Is

_{https://www.instagram.com/p/C6D03DgMMWx/?img_index=3}

It was magical, it was theatrical, it was avant-garde and haute-couture. The “daydreaming” bit in the title of German-born Dimitris Strepkos’ latest collection is by no means accidental, as the show offered futuristic and fairy-tale-like corsets, Schiaparelli-like, glowing crystal masks and theatrical hair accessories, together with richly ornamented lace bodysuits – all in an artistic tone, with models varying in gender, silhouettes, and age groups.

_{https://www.instagram.com/p/C6Ike5osgsw/?img_index=1}

The textures – with sequins, frills, fringe, and decorative buttons, were just amazing, all meticulously mixed to create a fascinating, innovative whole. Celebrity Skin delivered a show which proved to be the definition of haute couture, and we’re more than honoured to have been able to experience it.

Malan Breton A/W24

It’s been Breton’s first show here in Athens, and surely one to be remembered. The collection, inspired by the ‘70s Glam Rock era, was sexy, edgy, and powerful, bound to cause goosebumps, with the empowering, almost sinister music reverberating inside Zappeio Megaron.

_{https://www.malanbreton.com/home}

Closing the second day of the FW, Malan Breton presented a series of form-fitting leather dresses, full-leather looks (from red to metallic silver and classic black), and glamorous evening gowns – silky and sensual, some of them almost devilish with their red and black colour palette and chic elbow-length gloves.

_{https://www.malanbreton.com/home}

The look that stood out and stuck in the mind was the golden-brown feather outfit, which made the model look like a proud, majestic bird – a predatory one for sure.

Paris Valtadoros & “Mystique” – Frilling, Frilling, and One More Time Frilling by the Lake Vouliagmeni 

It was probably the most magical and almost other-worldly setting, creating a unique experience, full of vibrant colours, massive platform heels, and layers (and layers!) of frilling. From more classic, black-and-white looks, to patchwork ruffle dresses with sensual cut-outs, and neon pink, orange, and yellow dresses of various lengths – but always with frills bouncing rhythmically to the electrifying beat in the background – Paris Valtadoros ended day three of Athens FW with a varied range of forms and inspirations.

_{https://www.instagram.com/p/C6Tlb3oSS7w/?igsh=eGg2ZTRtcmtlaWpi}

Looking at the frilled sleeves (from white to grey, and Barbie-pink) and metallic platform heels, we just couldn’t help thinking of the 1970s iconic outfits. Watching the black-beige full-length dresses (inspired by traditional Greek togas) flowing in front of your eyes, with the runway just above the lake’s clear waters, and the nearby rocks in atmospheric dim light, the show created a truly sublime experience.

And the Best Catwalk Award Goes to… L’ amour et L’ âme Atelier! 

Tuesday 23/04 saw the New Designers Awards HUAWEI FreeClip gala, during which three young designers were awarded for their fresh and promising ideas. One of them was L’ amour et L’ âme Atelier by Lamprini Mourouti, a brand specialising in bridal looks and jewellery.

_{https://www.instagram.com/p/C1bfFbysFaC/}

Apart from classic white gowns, L’ amour et L’ âme Atelier offers colourful ones, like the coral, corset-like mini dress with a transparent trail we could see in the show. It also experiments with lingerie inspirations, making the dresses delicate and sensual – have a look at this half-transparent, sky-blue gown, which – together with the floral headband – makes the model nymph-like. We’ll definitely follow how the brand keeps contributing to bridal trends over the next seasons!

Athens Fashion Week wasn’t just about marvelling at the looks from established designers and praising those from the upcoming ones.

It was a broader, multi-layered experience, in which the Greek setting was invited into the fashion shows and vice versa, and which was both a tribute and a re-interpretation of ancient Greek heritage, as shown in the “Fashion & Olympic Games, Athens 2004-Paris 2024” exhibition.

Opening the FW, the exhibition delved deep into rich Greek history, where fashion – with iconic looks of renowned Greek designers – sports, body cult, and mythology merge.

Celebrating their heritage is what inspired many designers at Saturday’s London Fashion Week shows. From Columbia to Nigeria, designers took us on a journey back to their roots (as far or close to the show’s London location as that may be).

With odes to the glamour of Bollywood through glittering embellishments or vintage sweaters tipping the hat to Camden in the late 20th century, designers showed us that what we wear is influenced by where we come from.

Nensi Dojaka

No womenswear designer provides females with the freedom to express their bodies like Nensi Dojaka. Breaking the stigma around women wearing revealing garments, Albanian designer Dojaka brought her iconic clothing characterised by sheer material, clean silhouettes, and revealing cut-outs to London Fashion Week.

With the memo that underwear can be outerwear, Dojaka sent slinky dresses and two-piece blazer sets with a provocative twist down the runway- reflecting the daring attitude of the modern woman. The clothing was featured in an array of peachy autumnal hues, perfectly imitating the colours of the season the collection is prepared for.

It wasn’t just the clothing that emphasised Dojaka’s message that any woman can and should be able to reveal their body how they wish, as models at the London show were from a range of backgrounds and had differing body shapes, but looked equally fabulous in the garments, bringing female empowerment and inclusivity to the forefront of the fearless show.

Eudon Choi

The source of your endorphin hit this week? Eudon Choi’s Autumn/ Winter 2022 show, where Korean designer Choi used tonal layers and an extensive colour palette to bring a message of ‘optimism for the future through his riveting collection.

Inspired by director Antonioni’s first coloured film, the show began with monochromatic looks in flaming red hues, before Choi layered multiple tones to produce a colour palette with an ‘aura of fantasy’. The style of the clothing channelled the swinging 60s, as Choi confirmed the trending micro-mini skirt isn’t going anywhere soon. Choi styled the looks with 1960s-esque colourful headbands and short boxy jackets. Playing on all of our emotions; the show was a journey through colour and creation.

Ahluwalia

Wittily named ‘Bollywood to Nollywood’, Ahluwalia first-ever runway show saw a fusion of Nigerian and Indian inspired garments to celebrate designer Priya Ahluwalia’s Nigerian/ Indian heritage.

With glimmering embellishments, clashing textures, and bright colours, the Vogue and I-D approved designer’s garments were an ode to old and new Bollywood/ Nollywood. Some garments were an obvious reference, with fluorescent tees featuring graphics of Bollywood movie posters, while others incorporated colourful Nigerian-style-colourful prints into

contemporary silk two-pieces; representing the brand’s vision of creating a hybrid of the past, present, and future through their designs.

Richard Quinn

From giant boxy dresses with top hats to high-shine dominatrix attire, when it came to Quinns show, it was impossible to predict what would emerge from the wings of the runway next. But his creativity and knack for surprise mean even the most fashion-forward crowd has always been astonished by the outlandish designs of Richard Quinn. Quinn’s innovative and emotive craftsmanship cultivates garments that are unique; each telling its own dramatic story.

Combining classic designs like floral prints with modern styles like oversized silhouettes, Quinn’s show was a true highlight of 2022 London Fashion Week.

Molly Goddard

Revelling in the joy of dressing up, Molly Goddard- a label known for extravagant ballgowns- brought all the frills and froth imaginable this London Fashion Week. Looking to Camden in the 80s for inspiration, Molly paired vintage-style sweaters with puffy skirts, bringing an air of 18th-century opulence to modern dressing. The London based designer’s collection saw mood-boosting colours and uniquely detailed textiles.

After Goddard admitted she wore a dress every day of the pandemic, it comes as no surprise her AW22 collection was more extra than imaginable. Ultra-platform shoes, bright shades, and intrepid gowns were showcased; reflecting the designer’s day-to-day memo that there is no such thing as overdressing.

Labrum

Paying homage to his West African heritage while incorporating the craftsmanship of his London fashion career, designer Dumbaya brought clean in cut suits embellished with floral and leather prints to the London runway.

Deemed the ‘Poetics of Movement’, the collection was yet another reference to the hardships of migration. When speaking about his collection, Dumbaya said moving to another country can ‘feel like your culture is being stripped away, explaining why the designer chose to bring a touch of West African culture to his new London home through abstract embroidery and bright coloured textiles.

Anciela

Dancing to the words of Adriann Ramirez’s poetry; Latin- British models emerged in segregated boxes; bringing human issues to the forefront of Anciela’s digital show. The collection was filled with clothing resembling traditional Columbian attire, including ruffled shoulders, sculptural dresses, and pinstripe suits.

The show was a gesture to Anciela owner Jennifer Drouett’s Columbian home, the set and garments were adorned with flowers to reminisce The Columbian Flower Festival. The show portrayed how the weight of beauty changes in a different environment. The dimmed lighting indicated the struggles of moving countries as a migrant, so did the dark clothing contrasting the happy sunlight yellow-hued garments when the models were at home. Anciela brought sharp tailoring with an important message relevant to the ongoing migrant crisis to London Fashion Week.

Halpern

Keeping it silky, sultry and sleek, Micheal Halpern used brick fringing to cultivate a

collection of charming evening wear garments for the elegant modern woman. Tweed

suits, silk dresses, and outlandish bridal looks all gave the collection a timeless and

classic aura- reminiscent of the wardrobes of old Hollywood actresses like Audrey

The timeless pieces were given a modern twist with shortened hemlines and material

cutouts, bringing old Hollywood to the 2020s.

This Summer the digital adaptations for Fashion Week have been truly remarkable. Despite the challenges faced by the Industry, the shows have gone ahead digitally in high spirit and it has been a success! From London in June to Milan in July, Monday 9th August marked Copenhagen’s turn with a three-day whirlwind of fashion talent. While all these elements have started to disappear with the new generation of small early 2000s brands becoming internationally recognized labels, the Spring/Summer 2021 collections are truly cementing the new Scandinavian look: youthful, playful, cheerful. Here is a rundown of Copenhagen’s key Spring/Summer 2021 looks.

Part One: The Best of Copenhagen Fashion Week

Malaikaraiss

Malaikaraiss SS21 Lookbook

Malaikaraiss made a strong debut at Copenhagen offering a combined physical and digital approach with a film and pop-up event. The collection “United in Diversity” is aligned with the classy yet casual attire of the Brand. Sharp suit jackets are effortlessly paired with slouchy trousers and chunky trainers; slip dresses prove an elegant option for a day or evening affair.

Bright and pastel colors dominate the collection and an unmissable dash of playful print correlates with an uplifting theme. At the event’s online Q&A the Designer shared her belief that you are “most powerful when you are just being yourself” with the film enhancing these values with the spoken words “unity is love” and “love holds everything together”.

Designers Remix

Designers Remix SS21

Designers Remix stood out on an opening day with their playful and experimental approach to dresses and outerwear. A trench style coat incorporates four sleeves (two from the arms and two from the hips) while another takes the oversized to the extreme with wide shoulders and exaggerated sleeves. The dresses are arguably the most captivating and expanded from the hip in a tent-like fashion. Captioned with phrases including “I used to be

a pillow” and “I used to be a couch” the Brand highlights their sustainable source of materials.

Mark Kenly Domino Tan

Mark Kenly SS21

Mark Kenly Domino Tan displays a digital stream of his Spring/Summer 2021 catwalk with a collection that encapsulates the timeless woman with a modern twist. The palette is kept simply limited to white, cream, beige and tan tones. Classic silhouettes are modernized; tailored suits are fastened by an inside diagonal strap, oversized-sleeved shirts obscure the hands and the cape style permeates across tops or stands out as a layered element. The longevity of Mark Kenley Domino Tan’s designs is what makes them a forever and sustainable favourite.

7 Days Active

7 Days Active SS21

Since the label’s launch in 2019, this year’s display at Copenhagen Fashion Week marks the third major collection of 7 Days Active; a distinctive Brand that brings a trendy touch to Sportswear. The reliable cycle short is frequently spotted across the Womenswear. Paired with either a sports bra, t-shirt, baggy or sleeveless sweatshirt and finally a long coat they are a wardrobe must-have. Bright bursts of color are prominent throughout the entire collection bringing that hint of motivational energy to anyone of an active lifestyle.

Sorene Le Schmidt

Sorene Le Schmidt SS21

A Brand widely recognized on Denmark’s red carpet; we were anticipatory of Sorene Le Schmidt’s collection release at 7.00 pm. Their press release describes how “old school tailoring” is the basis of the collection along with a “rockabilly” edge; an unexpected pairing of classic, rock, and country vibes that works wonders. The collection flaunted an incredibly cool vibe especially with the hip-hop music that accompanied the catwalk show. For womenswear, a sense of femininity is present with mini dresses, blazer dresses, and ruffled shapes. Key additions across the entire collection are calf-length socks and simple white or black shoes.

Part Two: The Best of Copenhagen Fashion Week

Samsøe & Samsøe

Samsøe & Samsøe SS21

Day two commenced with a digital film and physical showroom by international Brand Samsøe & Samsøe. There is a strong focus on global diversity and the multicultural dynamic of their base in Nørrebro inspired a collection close to home. The collection’s geometric prints reference various countries and the overall earthy colour palette resonates globally. Denim tailored suits, oversized knitted sweater vests, and printed flare trousers evoke a street style edge while the more staple pieces capture Scandinavian chic.

Nynne

Nynne SS21

Nynne is another House that seeks to empower women through everyday pieces. Unlike Goya’s colourful approach, Nynne is more minimal; focusing on practical design with charming detailing. The palette is subtle with mainly mono-colored looks accessorized with gold belts, a necklace or statement earrings. We love how Nynne has combined practicality with that touch of glamour! The paired back film is the perfect opportunity to appreciate the beautiful subtleties of this collection.

Remain Birger Christensen

Remain Birger Christensen

We have seen various playful approaches to tailoring this year at Copenhagen but what makes them so special is their differing sources of inspiration. At Remain, this aesthetic is inspired by 60’s icon Françoise Hardy; a French Singer/Songwriter recognised for the feminity she infused into pop culture. In their press release, the House notes how pleated waist detailing adds a sense of feminity while combinations of sportswear and classy coats and jackets subvert the formality of tailoring. The setting for the collection’s display is captivating; set in a quiet courtyard with mirrors that glisten in the light. An accompanying film is also provided.

Rodebjer

Rodebjer SS21

Rodebjer have been passionate about their purpose from day one, showing support towards both women and the environment. The courageous woman unafraid to be an individual is a

timeless inspiration for the Brand. Alongside these overarching themes, the collection is inspired by the “healing energy of creativity and finding great meaning in wisdom”.

In support of their sustainable ethos, a timeless consideration is evident in Rodebjer’s designs. Minimal looks of block colour are great examples of interchangeable wardrobe must-haves while the artistically inspired prints make an exciting contrast! The looks were shown via a digital film of Images.

Baum and Pfertgarten

Baum and Pfertgarten SS21

Baum and Pfertgarten are all about having fun, bringing that uplifting touch of individuality and personal expression to Fashion. With a penchant for unpredictable juxtapositions, their Spring/Summer 2021 collection plays with bold contrasts. ‘Clashing’ pairings paradoxically work; a geometric printed slip layered over a polka blouse and a salmon-pink lace top paired with mustard-colored shorts are two of our favourites looks. Their pieces are exciting and call for individual experimentation! The leather-look made a strong appearance across midi-skirts, trousers, longline shorts, and jackets. A leather headband or retro sunglasses were the final flourishes.

Part Three: The Best of Copenhagen Fashion Week

HOPE

HOPE SS21

The day kick-started with HOPE. For HOPE, a collection needs to have a meaning and remain loyal to high-quality craftsmanship. In their Spring/Summer 2021 collection, creative director Frida Bard has made functionality the most important aspect of the collection. The playfulness of the garments is hidden in the oversized silhouettes which can be adjusted to all body types in an almost androgynous manner. HOPE distanced themselves from the common perception of Summer and invite instead the viewer to create their own reality.

Custommade

Custommade SS21

The sole purpose of Custommade is to create affordable luxury clothing and a world of fantasy, where the feminine can be free of any limitations A combination between the French and Italian styles, Custommade did not disappoint when showcasing their Spring/Summer 2021 collection. The patterns of the clothing are paired with unordinary accessories such as oversized pearls and pointy high heels decorated with oversized bows, which make the looks loud and bold. The almost princess-like look of the “muses” has us crave these luxurious pieces which are indulging but then what is better than feeling a little bit spoiled?

Helmstedt

Helmstedt SS21

As usual, the bubbly and unconventional Emilie Helmstedt gave us a concept that uplifted our moods. In King’s New Square the designer exhibited her heart-shaped bright pink sculptures, surrounded by bales of hay that made us long and hope for an outdoorsy 2021 Summer.

The sculpture that the designer created will be moved in different parts of Copenhagen to uphold the message of unity and help people stick together through these uncertain times.

Around the décor, models dressed in playful patterns and various textures made the passer-byes stop. Shades of baby blue and pink, re-imagined floral prints, and new shapes could be spotted on the oversized, flowy garments which are more about comfort than high fashion.

Marimekko

Marimekko SS21

Founded in 1951, Marimekko has always been about bold prints and colours. The longevity of the brand mixed with their playful ethos makes Marimekko a Scandinavian fashion powerhouse. With a print library containing 3500 prints, Marimekko manages to recreate old garments for the modern woman. Set in the brand’s in-house printing factory, the show was filled with vibrant prints and colours, as well as new patterns combining Maija Isola prints (the poppy, the stones, the seagull) with Marimekko’s founder, Armi Ratia’s, quotes. The collection was created in collaboration with award-winning designers Antti Kekki and Matts Bjolin.

Rixo

For Spring/Summer 2021 Rixo has gingham inspired dresses to offer, as well as an abundance of floral printed flowy maxi dresses and tops. What makes these pieces so amazing is their versatility: they are fit for a city break but also for the countryside or a holiday abroad. The simplicity of the silhouettes gets us thinking that we might even be able to wear these pieces during the colder months: thanks to the well-known Scandinavian layering fashion technique.

Copenhagen Fashion Week also impressed us with the selection of live interviews available. By far, our favorite was the conversation between American Danish actor, Amelia Hoy, and founder of FIIRI Agency, Mona Mohammed Ali. FIIRI is the first black-owned, all-inclusive modeling agency in Scandinavia. Check out the interview here

The biggest Ooh La La moments at Paris Fashion Week

Paris Fashion Week concluded yesterday and it’s safe to say we have been wowed. New York, London and Milan have passed us by and in turn paved way for the ‘City of Lights’ to shine. From jacquard ball-gowns to floating tulle clouds we’re giving the low-down on perhaps the most vibrant quarter of Fashion Week this season.

Noir Kei Ninomiya’s collection was a fan-favourite for the Avant Garde style portrayed within the show. The designers signature aesthetic was clearly established through the use of in-your-face tulle and sculptural botanical headpieces consisting of succulents and leaves. A standout of the collection was undeniably the floating tulle dress which mirrored a passing cloud in frame and form. The theme for this show was ‘Beginnings’ and the pieces served as a metaphor for the broader leitmotif of ‘Creation’ by largely referencing nature.

Ninomiya’s architectural collection pushed the boundaries of Avant Garde that Japanese designers are so known for. The green moss-covered coat evoked images of trees found in a rainforest and the white dress with pearls protruding from thin wires really brought Ninomiya’s vision into full bloom.

Issey Miyake also had heads turning with their SS20 collection, ‘A Sense of Joy’. Performance art replaced a catwalk down the runway and models were dressed by brightly coloured hoops which lowered down in front of the audience. The brands new lead designer, Satoshi Kondo, continued Miyake’s maximalist approach managed to pay homage to female joy – models skid past the audience on skateboards and frolicked on stage showcasing the flamboyant fluidity of the dresses.

Whilst it is common to see exciting pieces down the runways – Noir’s collection irrefutably showcased this – it is rare to see models excited and having fun. The show displayed the quintessential art of fashion and Kondo stated with the collection he wanted to “look into the relationship between the human body and the clothes, and to express the joy of wearing the clothes and of movement” which he definitely pulled off.

Saint Laurent impressed with their highly adorned frocks which irrefutably harked back to the Boho-chic aesthetic we knew all too well in ‘05. Laurent met the mid-2000 fashion trend, however, with elegance and finesse – embellishing slip dresses with paisley sequinned patterns and pairing it with slouchy metallic boots – Mary Kate & Ashley and Sienna Miller would approve.

Glittered embroidery of every colour on black chiffon reminded us of fireworks exploding cross a night sky and the hippie glam theme was continued through the collection with knee high maroon boots, teal suede shorts and glistening fabric bonnets. Though we thought the fashion industry was still recovering from the trends of the 2000’s, it appears certain designers have now recuperated.

Comme de Garçons effortlessly pulled off grandeur and extravagance in their SS20 collection. Luminescent jacquard, Elizabethan hair and 3D flowers graced the runway and demonstrated just how ‘anti-fashion’ the brand can go. CDG’s commitment to deviating from traditional silhouettes was undeniably seen in Look 9 which featured a skirt which jut out on either side of the model’s waist. Highly bejewelled silk gowns featuring glistening gold brocade made it look as though the model walked out of an art nouveau painting and straight onto the catwalk.

Jeremy Scott caught our eye with a neon colour palette. His array of bold motorcycle jackets, Pikachu printed co-ords and camouflage had us ready for a neon spring. Whilst the colours proved impressive, so did his message: garments read ‘revolt, resist, riot’ among other phrases that would give our spring wardrobe the rebellious kick it needs.

Discount Universe showed their usual sequined goodness, but with a twist. Dresses read ‘not your baby’, ‘not for sale’, playing off societal stereotypes of women with sequined statements of ‘crazy, emotional, irrational’ cinched in at the waist with belts that read ‘whore’. If you’re looking for some feminist statement pieces Discount Universe has you covered.

Whilst others protested real villainous behavior, The Blonds embraced a different approach: becoming the villains…Disney Villains that is. Garments inspired by an array of the deliciously evil characters such as the Queen of Hearts, Maleficent, and Ursula gave us beautifully embellished evil and we loved it.

We’ve been given a plethora of rebellion this spring, and whilst we’re loving this nonconformist edge, we couldn’t help but fall in love with Rodarte’s pastel romance fantasy. Frills, florals and veils floated along the runway, giving us ethereal fairy tale.

Whether it be making a bold statement or appearing a vision in tulle, New York Fashion Week so far has given us an array of must haves and we can’t wait to see what else this week offers.
