Marios Schwab AW 10/11

schwab 01 Marios Schwab AW 10/11

Marios Schwab is certainly under the spotlight at the moment. Becoming creative director for Halston means he had a debut to prepare for New York fashion week and a show for his own label at London fashion week just a week apart.

For this collection Schwab seemed to go back to his Austrian roots. with traditional tailoring of simple and sharp shapes and silhouettes… Schwab seemed to dull down on layering and quirky prints to make way for crisp white shirts, delicate embroideries, fur jacket and cropped boleros. Which truly made a demure and lady like collection. Velvet and brocade dresses hint at his Austrian background. Inspired by techniques he was taught whilst learning the trade at the age of 15. They bring out a luxurious feel to the collection which has been Influenced by “English roses and vanitas.”

Corsets and embellishments roused the simplicity of the collection. Concentrating on a more structured and tailored look. With focus on an exposed leg most of the detail was kept above the waist. Most noticeable to me were the unusual curved bolero jackets, which Marios refers to as ‘Alien Necklines’ and ‘L’ shaped collars on thick fur coats. Within a Colour palette of dove greys, mink, petrol blue and ruby red Schwab is bang on trend for Autumn/Winter.

Industrial design student Andrew Kim created this very cool concept of some square Coke Bottles. Not a stupid idea for the iconic bottle, since you gain in space for the shipping and for the recycling. Let see if Coke will like it…

Jan Steinhilber’s still life photography is just insane ! The German photographer was first trained as a graphic designer, he has a penchant not just for pretty pictures, but also images that communicate with boldness and clarity. Working a lot in the advertising and editorial field, Jan has worked for some of the most prestigious automobile brands. He says “I try to understand the idea of the picture, or even provide an idea if it is personal work,” “I judge everything I do, by asking me if it helps with the idea or not.” Steinhilber’s imagination is his power, every picture is a piece of art! You have to check his portfolio!! love it…
