Vežite pojaseve! // Buckle your (seat)belts!

Jer polećemo, nadam se da ćete uživati u Vašem letu od Londona do Milana.

Za početak, oversize Acne pojasevi, sa sve povuci u slučaju nužde alkom. Ne čudi što je i ove sezone akcenat ponovo na struku, ipak je to jedan od arhetipskih simbola ženstvenosti. Ovaj put i malo drugačije - ikonoklastična kombinacija spuštenog struka i kratkog topa miriše na devedesete, u najboljem smislu te reči.

Because we are about to take off. Hope you will enjoy your flight from London to Milan.

Let's start with oversize Acne belts, all along with pull in case of emergency ring. No wonder waist is in limelight again this season, being the essence of feminine silhouette. A bit different this time, though - iconoclastic combo of low-rise pants and high-cut tops smells like 90s, in the best sense of word.

Volim londonsku nedelju mode jer na njoj svoje radove prikazuju i diplomci čuvenog Central Saint Martins koledža. Kada sam rekla vežite pojaseve, mislila sam ozbiljno - pogledajte samo kako je slobodno drapirane forme ukrotio jedan od njihovih studenata, Yifang Wan.

I love London fashion week because young designers from Central Saint Martins College get their chance to shine. When I said fasten your (seat)belts I meant it seriously - just look how magnificently Yifang Wan tied all the floating forms and draped materials with those statement belts!

Što se tiče sletanja na milanske piste, samo ću citirati svog prijatelja Nenada Janjatovića: "Kako vreme prolazi, ja odrastam i počinjem da posmatram Pradu ne kao brend, već kao religiju." Smeli detalji na jednostavnoj, a ipak pomerenoj osnovi - rezultat je hrabrost bez nepotrebnog odlaska u nenosivost. Neka se baka Vivienne buni, ali meni je Miuccia i dalje najveća punkerka.

Ladies and gentlemen, we landed safely on Milan runway(s). Thank you for flying with me, I will only quote my friend Nenad Janjatović: "As time goes by, I grow up and start realizing that Prada is more a religion than a brand." Bold detailing on a seemingly simple base, yet with a twist - the result being a maverick collection you can actually wear. Grandma Vivienne might object but Miuccia makes the best punk as far as I'm concerned.
