Marbleous!

Otkada nas je Christopher Kane pre koju godinu sve naterao da pogledamo gore, zvezdano nebo više nikada nije moglo bilo isto. U međuvremenu, galaxy print je brzinom svetlosti prešao put od londonskih pista do lokalnih kineskih butika i - svima nam dosadio. Dragi moji, pravo je vreme da spustite pogled, ka utrobi Zemlje, i onome što ona krije. Njegovo veličanstvo - kamen! Nimalo slučajno, jedan od omiljenih materijala Mies van der Rohea, čoveka koji stoji iza čuvene rečenice Manje je više. Vrlo svestan da raskošnoj grafici mermera ne trebaju dodatni ornamenti, Mies koristi kamene panele, čija jednostavna forma pravi savršen kontrast bogatoj teksturi. Ako je lepota u protivrečnostima, ima li šta lepše od tkanine koja izgleda kao kamen, a lepršava je i lagana kao pero?

Since Christopher Kane made us all look up couple of years ago, starry sky could have never been the same again. In the meantime, galaxy print went from runways of London to your local Chinese shop at the speed of light and - bored us all to death. I guess now would be the right time to start looking down, towards the Earth and the secrets it hides. His Majesty - the Stone! It's not a coincidence that it was one of the favorite materials of Mies van der Rohe, the man behind the ubiquitous phrase Less is More. Very aware that graphic quality of marble needs no additional ornament, Mies keeps the stone in its purest form. A minimalist perfection - rich texture packed in simple form. If beauty is all about contradiction, is there anything more beautiful than fabric that looks like stone, but is light as a feather?

Ukoliko iz prvog reda ne gledate modele kroz svoj iPad screen, dok istovremeno objavljujete na svojim Pinstagramima, džaba ste krečili svoj fashion week post. S obzirom da me od prvog deli malo više redova, da ne kažem (hiljada) kilometara, dajem sebi slobodu da konzumiram polako, upijam boje, teksture i oblike, lagano varim... I svake sezone, bude neka revija koja je to, mislim - sve to. Gde želim i haljine, i jakne, i cipele i torbe, a onda - i sve to zajedno. Prošlog proleća sam balavila na Céline, da bi me kasnije potpuno kupio Givenchy, a ove sezone zbog Stelle sedim širom otvorenih usta ispred monitora. Neko će reći - mo'š misliti, masculine chic, ništa novo - ali Stella McCartney čini prugasto Al Kapone odelo istinski modernim, interpretirajući ga kroz neočekivane forme i materijale. Savršeno se nadovezuje na sporty luxe rečenicu koju je započeo J W Anderson još prošle jeseni, Stella spaja udobnost i eleganciju. Ovo nije žena u muškoj odeći, ovo je nova ženstvenost, ovde i sada!

Well, as it turns out, in case you're not lucky enough to watch the shows from the first row through your iPad screen, while simultaneously posting on all your Pinstagrams, there's not too much in point posting about fashion weeks. As I am more than couple of rows (or should I say thousands of kilometers) away from the first one, I like my fashion week shows served slow, so I can savour all the colors, shapes and textures... And every season there is a show that has it all - I would sell my soul to the Devil to have everything there - dresses, jackets, bags and shoes, and then sell it once again to have it all together. I've spent last spring drooling over my keyboard because of those Céline revolutionary oversized shapes, only to be completely bought by Givenchy a season later. This time it is Stella McCartney who keeps my mouth wide open in front of the computer screen. Some might say - hey, masculine chic, not that it is something revolutionary or unseen - but Stella made those Al Capone pinstripes truly modern using unexpected forms and materials. Being elegant, yet comfortable, clothes from Stella McCartney latest collection finish perfectly that sporty luxe sentence that J W Anderson started last Fall. This is not a woman wearing men's clothes, but the essence of new femininity, here and now!
