Bringing strength of character, discovering your feelings, your passions. Striving to be an individual and not getting lost in the crowd.
The Alberta Ferretti Spring/Summer 2015 collection embodies a world constructed with infinite freedom by a woman who knows how to be her own person. A woman who deeply understands herself and the world around her.
“Through this collection, I wanted to express the sense of freedom possessed by women who think for themselves. A feeling, but also a lifestyle, reflected through style.” says Alberta Ferretti.
The color nude is the backbone of this collection: a transparent hue not defined by color. The color nude is symbolic of lightness, individual strength and a strong character. In this collection, we see nude macramé pants and skirts decorated with tri-dimensional petal appliqués, jumpsuits with softly pleated lapels and pants, culottes as slips.
In a darker shade of nude we find tubular organza ribbons placed on chiffon which create a woven, tri-dimensional effect on both long and short dresses. The intangible nature of mousseline silk, white cotton and pastel organza gowns with floral embellishments, reminiscent of ceramic.
The suede fringe enhances this sense of lightness, completing the gowns and macramé embellished ponchos. Suede vests and gowns, hand woven or carved are lengthened by asymmetrical fringe, just like the handbags and shoes.
These accessories take this collection towards a new, bohemian freedom filled with knowledge and awareness. A collection that celebrates the unique woman who refuses to be defined or belong to a group.

Monday, 8 September, 2014 is the date the “Yes” vote for Scottish Independence tipped over into the lead in the polls. I am so excited, fingers crossed they’ll win. Because, if they do, it could be the turning point towards a better world. They could lead by example.
Scottish Independence could be a great day for Democracy. They already have a more democratic financial system, e.g. no tuition fees, and they care more for people.
They just wouldn’t do what we’re doing in England. In London they are pulling down council flats and building luxury apartments. They plan 200 more high rise luxury apartments – for speculators.
In England there is hardly any democracy left. The government does what it wants. That which should belong to people – it gives it all to business, e.g. they’re prepared to poison our water so that businesses can frack.
The most important thing I have to say is that after 300 years, the capitalist system is now at an end. It’s over. Yet the English government – all main parties – want to drag us down with it. We want Scotland to break the deadlock and march into the future.
We English have to fight our government. You, Scotland, can have the government you want.

SPRING — SUMMER 2015 / THE COLLECTION
THEMES
Part of the family – Clothing from varying cultures and generations are innocently assembled, naturally and without stylistic reasoning or purpose. Rules are broken. New silhouettes are created from unexpected sources, wardrobe staples, and humble materials. Subtle nods to the Maison. Americana pop clashes with traditional Japanese culture, underwear becomes eveningwear, household objects are transformed into clothing. Garments play with volume and materials. The collection is accessible, handcrafted, playful.
SILHOUETTE
The allure is spontaneous and nonchalant, naively put together; a patchwork of inspirations customised and appropriated. Items fluctuate, become adjustable, changeable. Straps and obi belts are omnipresent, playfully adapted to alter the garments main function. Proportions are inversed, shrunken, elongated. Shirts appear too big, jackets too small.
MATERIALS
Sun bleached or washed-out denim, latex, suede, twill, cotton, lace, satin, leather.
COLOUR PALETTE
Peach, beige, khaki, burnt gold, old yellow, red, washed-out blue, jade, plum, greying green, optical white.
ACCESSORIES
A bandana becomes a clutch, scarf or even a top.
FOOTWEAR
Old-fashioned Japanese sandals merged with club kids rave shoes create monochrome platforms with transparent bands.

Calvin Klein Collection
Spring 2015
Francisco Costa, Women’s Creative Director
Seductive simplicity. Introducing the Spring 2015 women’s Calvin Klein Collection. Sophisticated proportions combine an uptown sensibility with a downtown edge.
Silhouettes. Architectural liquidity. A delicately, strong blend of easy yet refined separates. Drawing from menswear, an elongated tank becomes the anchor silhouette of the collection. A play on proportions; light, ribbed tops with assertive scoop fronts and racer backs atop cropped and ultra wide-leg patched pants. High waisted, delicately formed, stainless belts complement the collection’s soft, subtle layers and fluted and flared skirts. Simple forms and shapes are transformed with texture – such as hand-perforated leather dresses in vibrant shades of lacquer red and marine blue. Honeycomb knit is woven with Lurex, edged with delicate metal inserts and threaded leather trims for a crisp yet feminine construction. Quiet seductive lines continue into eveningwear with deep plunging necklines balanced with embroidered metallics.
Fabrics. Fine knits with ribbed textures underpin the entire collection, while glossy jacquards and hand-punched leathers create surface interest. Diverse and elaborate threadwork and stitching emerges on modernist jacquards and silks. A colorblock patchwork or a bold, oversized dot print materializes to create a dramatic effect. A silver knit fringe coat presents an element of glamour.
Palette. Saturated color. Grounded in a mélange of blues — from marine and dark navy – add depth to natural shades of cream, papyrus and white, while most surfaces have an alluring, subtle sheen and finish. The palette is capped with a statement-making lacquered red.
Accessories. Modernist appeal. A bold, sculptural platform in a lacquered patent leather is offered as a one, two or t-strap. A variation of the silhouette is crafted in monochrome lizard and is finished with a stainless bracelet ankle strap. A sling-back silhouette, crafted with a clear, solid, Plexi base, juxtaposes natural aesthetics with a sporty, modern allure. Available in black, navy, white and red lacquer.
