EXTREMELY FANATIC

別人說我太瘋癲

颠覆传统、持续革新、前瞻理念、刻意地性感、叛逆玩味的实验主义等浓浓的潮味效应，统统皆是DIESEL新上任的创意总监Glenn Martens为品牌（同名自家品牌亦是如此独特颠丧）打造的首个实体时装展。设计师赋予品牌无穷新力量，不再死守于刻板Denim牛仔造型，将之演变成更Avant Garde的设计，充分诠释解读DIESEL世界的独特魅力，创造时尚新浪潮。

DIESEL 2022秋冬系列分为四个篇章：牛仔服饰、功能性设计、流行元素与工艺。牛仔裤多采用颠覆性的腰部设计，看似仅一绳牵引，实则内附隐藏式腰带，集结巧妙的视觉感官，钩扣的性感魅惑、错视图案的玩味乐趣和不对称的设计及实用元素结合，与多样材质互相融合，于碰撞和反差间营造出不同质感与趣味，令每套造型皆随性和出众，引领潮流新指标。系列设计更不乏缀以多功能腰带的不规则蓝色短款背心和仿如短裙的超大码牛仔腰带，大部分牛仔单品皆源自DIESEL Library系列，彰显品牌坚持使用环保牛仔布的核心理念与决心。

 

系列当中采用了做旧牛仔效果的提花针织长裤及缀满做旧牛仔错视图案的植绒牛仔单品，虚幻地造就出更立体的效果。而部分外套及风衣更加入了独特涂层处理，令衣服保持坚挺，同时散发光泽，增添玩味。舒适平坦街坊LOOK的连帽卫衣亦被演变成充满狂野动感的连身裙，采用了雪纺镶条与抽绳拼接分割设计，令整体曲线更显夺目。其他连帽卫衣及运动裤则于颈部与脚踝采用镂空设计，露出颇具层次感的内搭衣服。钩扣锁紧的金属质感迷你裙与针织外套，点缀了DIESEL典藏印花的柔软植绒系带上衣和迷你裙，饰以品牌标志的运动风连帽卫衣与长裤，而羊毛棒球外套为双面穿设计，具更多功能，轻易配搭，无论是运动与出席派对皆宜，可穿性甚高。

 

设计师为演绎流行元素，在裙装上大胆运用金属粉红色，以涂层针织面料制成并于胸前点缀「D」字logo，让设计顿时变得夺目耀眼，成为焦点。套衫加入了牛仔元素，刻意营造出一种「剥落」般质感，所呈现的视觉效果就如从墙面揭下层层海报贴纸；Organza单品以缩褶工艺升级再造，创造出质感轻盈的超短款连身裙，同时配以长袖、低胸、露肩的大胆设计；牛仔布经人手剪碎并拼接成环状，制成带有人造毛皮效果的外套。

 

本季首次采用经循环再用的牛仔布、棉花及弹力棉制作服饰，同时运用无水靛蓝染色技术。品牌以「修复」理念为核心，将生产过程所产生的剩余物料制造成全新纱线，并携手可持续织物生产商Tejidos Royo推出既创新、又积极正面的全新产品线：DIESEL Rehab Denim。另外，新推出升级版运动鞋Prototype CR采用交叉鞋带设计，与女装高跟靴鞋跟的带状图案相映成趣，营造包裹式的视觉效果。高跟凉鞋的足尖上方与金属光泽手袋上皆印有同款「D」字logo，同时延申到腰包、背囊与斜背袋等配件。这种Extremely Fanatic的时尚思维和态度，瞬间焕新，也是品牌长久以来的坚持的纯粹理念 - For Successful Living 地纵享人生。别人或许说他太疯癫，他只笑说你们看不穿。你要如何去深究解读，适随尊便！

MICHAEL KORS AW2022 Advertising Campaign

 

MICHAEL KORS AW2022 Advertising Campaign photographed in New York City by renowned Dutch duo Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin.

The campaign captures supermodels Adut Akech and Rianne Van Rompaey as they hit the town in this season’s most glamorous styles. Bold, confident and chic, the imagery celebrates the allure of New York City with luxe extravagance.

"For fall, I wanted the collection to echo the energy and big city glamour of New York, when you’re out on the town,” says Michael Kors. “The clothes and accessories are really everything you need for stepping up, stepping out and making an entrance.”

Playing with the art of revealing and concealing of being both provocative and covered up the collection includes short and long hemlines, sharp tailoring, dramatic hoods and skin-baring cutouts.

The palette ranges from camel, chocolate, black and white to electric fuchsia and taxicab yellow, while menswear tweeds and lush faux furs play against gleaming paillettes and glittering crystal embroidery for a wardrobe that defines timeless urban polish.

Also making its debut with this collection is the Campbell travel satchel, crafted from luxe Italian leather and designed to be the ultimate carryall. The season’s other must-have handbag: the Christie envelope, a statement fold-over Italian leather clutch for day-to-night glamour.

ANYA TAYLOR-JOY @ Newest Ambassador of Jaeger-LeCoultre

Jaeger-LeCoultre announced Anya Taylor-Joy as their new Ambassador for the Maison recently, marking her debut with a short video A Call of the Heart, based on a symbolic phone call welcoming her into La Grande Maison. The video was inspired by an historic phone call that was to have a profound impact on the Manufacture LeCoultre. In 1903, Jacques-David LeCoultre made a call to the Parisian watchmaker Edmond Jaeger to accept the latter’s challenge of creating an ultra-thin watch movement – and so began a long and fruitful collaboration that led to the formation of the Jaeger-LeCoultre company.

Recognised as one of the most exciting talents of her generation, Anya Taylor-Joy is the living embodiment of modern femininity. Her on-screen presence has a mercurial quality – otherworldly yet intensely present, fearless but vulnerable, innocent yet dangerous.

“The encounter with Anya was meant to be. Her long family history with polo and interest in watchmaking led us to a natural partnership”, says Catherine Rénier, the CEO of Jaeger-LeCoultre. “With her ethereal beauty, her sensitivity, her talent and hardworking ethics, she embodies the values and style of our Maison.”

Born in Miami to British-Argentine parents, and raised in Buenos Aires and London, the 26-year-old actress won rave reviews for her breakout performance in Robert Egger’s The Witch in 2016. A series of critically-acclaimed roles followed and, in 2020, the Netflix hit The Queen’s Gambit shot her star into the stratosphere; her mesmerising portrayal of Beth Harmon won her a Golden Globe, a Screen Actors’ Guild award and a Critics’ Choice award. This was followed by major roles in Edgar Wright’s Last Night in Soho and Robert Eggers’ The Northman, and she will next be seen in David O. Russell’s Amsterdam with Christian Bale and Margot Robbie, as well as Mark Mylod’s comedy-horror The Menu with Ralph Fiennes and Nicholas Hoult. Anya is currently filming Furiosa, the Mad Max prequel.

GIVENCHY AW2022 Advertising Campaign

GIVENCHY AW2022 advertising Campaign conceived by Creative Director Matthew M Williams with still images and video lensed by the photographer Nick Knight, echoing the AW2022 ready to wear collection by introducing a fresh visual narrative for the House Contrasting moods and materials express moments that are both intimate and universal, subtly evoking the tension between reality and surrealism. Bathed in ethereal light, a diverse, multi hyphenate cast embodies the Givenchy ethos of individualistic style, suggesting rich inner worlds that exist beyond surface appearances. A model may also be a rap star, a health advocate, or an emerging voice like Ethel Cain, whose highly awaited debut album was released in May 2022.

“The faces in this season’s campaign really represent what Givenchy means today,” said Creative Director Matthew M Williams ..“It’s a uniquely eclectic group each model is an icon in their own right”. Images informed by literature show models posing in a room of their own a bedroom decorated with vintage floral wallpaper and a pink bedcover contrast pointedly with the urban attitude of a strapless camisole dress with raw edged flounces worn by Ethel Cain Model/activist Liya Kebede appears wearing bold statement accessories like black pearls and the season’s supple, gathered Kenny bag.

Elsewhere, Playboi Carti strikes a serene pose wearing black leather cargos from the Givenchy runway with some of the season’s key accessories, such as full length gloves and the revolutionary TK 360 sneakers In another setting, Vittoria Ceretti seems to be photographed on the fly, standing in front of a billowing animal print curtain and wearing a black leather cami dress with the G Hobo bag, taking in a swirl of movement just past the viewer’s gaze.

MARNI Opens Newest Store At SOGO Causeway Bay Hong Kong

 
MARNI opened its newest store at SOGO Causeway Bay recently offering a radically new interpretation of the house’s codes, which engages visitors in a sensorial path that allows for discovery, pleasure and culture. Developed by Creative Director Francesco Risso together with the in-house architecture team at MARNI, the boutique is conceived as a creative hub where fashion design, interior design and creativity converge.

Colour is a tangible visual presence, in accord with MARNI’s colourful DNA. While the mirroring effect is obsessively perpetrated, creating an engaging system of visual multiplications, colour takes a new direction here, appearing as an unremitting, sharp sign. In a resolute departure from past projects, an emblematic shade of ultra-marine blue is introduced as the only chromatic accent, emphasizing the interplay of clarity and boldness. Concrete finishing tiles flooring with gradient blue carpet are juxtaposed with reflective walls clad in bevelled silver mirror ceramic tiles, creating a contrast between solidity and refraction, between the sinuosity of MARNI’s signature hanging rails and the imposing presence of colour.

The space relies on a rigorous vocabulary of unremitting architectural elements, setting the tone and defining the frame. The degradè carpet in a trapezoidal surface that punctuates the floor, introducing a softer element to the otherwise radical architectural lexicon. The 59-square meter boutique offers Women’s ready-to-wear, handbags, shoes, bijoux and eyewear collections, welcoming visitors into an immersive customer experience and readdressing the traditional interpretation of retail shopping. At the centre of the boutique L shaped display platforms of silver mirroring ceramic tiles which contain seats with blue pelouche cushions, creates a lounge area in the centre of the space. Bags and accessories are presented on the central and frontal wall on glass shelves with polished stainless-steel frame. Through the introduction of this new store concept, MARNI highlights the will to redefine the luxury shopping experience, reaffirming the brand as a creative playground holding a constant dialogue with art.

VERSACE x Lily James AW2022 Advertising Campaign

Versace AW 2022 advertising campaign sees Lily James with the new Greca Goddess bag; the actress interpreting a Versace goddess in images from well-renowned photographers Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott. As in her films, where she has played roles from headstrong princesses to sex-symbols, Lily James’s impulsive and daring attitude is the epitome of Versace confidence. Lily is seen as equal parts mythological deity and contemporary rebel as she wears new season latex ready-to-wear in a campaign that clashes classical culture with empowered seduction.

Versace Men’s proposal of a modern opulence is visually clear, with the ornate flourishes of the classical surrounding contrasted with the collection’s contemporary content.

The Greca Goddess line of bags is introduced for AW2022. Very Versace contrasts within the campaign imagery fully reflect the new bag and its juxtaposition of rich craft and elegance with a totally contemporary and new energy.
