MATOHU Spring 2013 Tokyo Fashion Week

Matohu designers Hiroyuki Horihata and Makiko Sekiguchi stayed true to their mission to provide fresh and innovative takes on kimonos and traditional Japanese apparel. Inspired by a trip to a Kyoto antique fair and their discovery of an old iron tool repurposed as a wall decoration, they set out to use unusual fabrics like a rubberized material adept for a tablecloth and a loose knit resembling a fishing net.

They provided texture to a collection full of soft grays with accents of soft yellow, mint green and eggshell blue. Cocoon-like head gear complete the look.

Koishi the new jewelry collection by Iavana Damjanović

Ivana Damjanović, a jewelry designer and Serbian native, sees her work as a collection of actions and emotions with a dynamic built-in nature. As the personification of impatience, haste, chaos, tolerance, care and detail, her jewellery developed in 2008 while studying interior and furniture design at University of Arts in Belgrade.

By combining techniques from sculpture and costume design, Ivana’s pieces are often at odds with themselves. At times an undisciplined and tangled rush of inspiration, while others are meticulously planned and considered she let’s her mood dictate how the piece is created. In 2009, she started her brand Koishi – Japanese for pebble or stone. Aimed at being timeless and strong, the name carries a strength and character, which is easily conveyed through her jewellery.

Ne-Net Spring RTW 2013 “Into the Wild”

During Japan Fashion Week we saw some incredible designs, yet nothing as “wild” as the spring RTW 2013 collection of Ne-Net.

Were plenty of knit sweaters with contrasting hems, sleeves and plackets created monsters masks for the models. Varsity sweatshirts were juxtaposed with flowing chiffon, and cute animal faces adorned the heels of suede pumps.

‘Be Visible’ glowing jewellery by Milko Boyarov

‘Be visible embodies the idea of a serious of bracelets which reflect the light, fulfilling most women’s desire to be seen. Glowing jellyfish served as inspiration for the form. I have strived to reflect the jellyfish’s sense of mystique, futuristic energy and minimalism. During the work process my goal was to clean the form as much as possible, leaving only the essential, while implying the underlying inspiration.’ Photographed by Zlatimir Arakliev, jewellery by Milko Boyarov.

LED hats by Moritz Waldemeyer for Philip Treacy

A whirring helicopter of LEDs creates the illusion of a glowing hat in this design by Moritz Waldemeyer for Irish milliner Philip Treacy. Six blades, each fitted with a strip of LEDs, are attached to a propellor headpiece worn by the model. When in motion, the blades disappear from view and a huge halo of light seems to float in mid-air.

The creations were unveiled as part of Philip Treacy’s Spring/Summer 2013 collection at London Fashion Week last Monday.

Rodarte hair style for NYFW spring 2013

Tons of stylists, include Kérastase’s Odile Gilbert, were fixated on the concept of an undercut, or faux-shaved head. At Rodarte, Gilbert created a lady comb-over by directing hair over to one side of the head and shellacking it flat to the side of the head with gobs of product. It may be the deepest side-part we’ve ever seen, but we’re kind of loving how edgy and cool it looks — not to mention how well it showcases those rad ear cuffs.
