Natalia Brilli: FW 08/09

Posted Sep 20, 2008 by Emanuel in natalia brilli

Apologies for the lack of updates again, but I promise that we won't bore you with this upcoming post at all. It was worth the wait! Presenting: Natalia Brilli!

Straddling the worlds of theatre and fashion, Natalia Brilli designed sets and costumes whilst simultaneously collaborating with established fashion designers until, after joining Paris' IFM in 2003, she decided to devote all her energy to her life's passion: fashion accessories. In 2004 she joined Rochas where she still works to this date. That same year she launched her own label, which was snapped up by Maria Luisa, Browns and Barneys--and now Gravity Pope Tailored Goods!

Appropriating the emblematic codes of classic jewellery, Natalia's pieces have an ethereal presence, monochromatic yet weightless, their essence freed from unnecessary embellishment. Her inspiration follows the natural rhythm of the seasons without ever forsaking her signature "pearls". Her colour range, limited in the beginning to black, green, and purple, now includes pastel tones with natural or metallic finishes.

The darker side to her jewellery, inspired by century Vanity paintings, Victorian-era aesthetics and Dario Argento's horror flicks, give rise to beautiful creations that wouldn't look out of place displayed in a Baudelairian cabinet of curiosities.

(All items are made with buttery-soft lamb leather, often moulded to metals for some super interesting pieces!) Be sure to click on the pictures to link to our website, where you can see bigger and alternate views on all the product.

Raf by Raf Simons: FW 08/09

Posted Sep 4, 2008 by Emanuel in raf by raf simons

First presented in June 2005, the launch of ‘Raf by Raf Simons’ coincided with the 10th anniversary of the main Raf Simons label. Meeting the same quality standards and offering the trademark Raf Simons look without compromise, this new line is a complete, full-fledged collection and in the words of the designer: ‘100% Raf Simons’.

‘Raf by Raf Simons is not a typical ‘second line’ or a watered-down version of the Raf Simons label,’ he says. ‘But with the direction I have been taking with my latest collections – more tailoring, experimenting with shapes and materials – I felt that my other interests needed a different outlet. The subjects I have explored in the past, like youth culture, music and general messages of individuality, are still very important to my world and will continue to be so. From now on, the Raf by Raf Simons line will concentrate on these themes while aiming at all kinds of men that feel a connection to these ideas.’
