INTERVIEW: TITLE OF WORK

Art and Fashion are intrinsically intertwined. McQueen, Margiela, Rey Kawakubo, Rick Owens, Raf Simons and Craig Green are the first designers to come to mind. The accessory world, on the other hand, has surprisingly little to offer, focusing more on lucrative strategies. Rare are the talents rethinking the medium and...

The men’s collections are back after a break for Pitti Uomo. Milan’s collections, thanks to the exceptional tailors and Italian mills, have renowned for their sharp silhouettes and wonderful fabrics choices. But with London getting a serious momentum, things have changed and designers have clearly felt the pressure to offer more youthful collections. Let see...

SHOPPING: ONKLER SS15

It’s been a while since I’ve found such a bold and avant-garde eyewear brand. While it’s relatively easy to purchase psychedelic or futuristic vintage sunglasses, especially from the 70s and 80s, it’s more challenging to find a collection with the same cohesiveness and dedication. Onkler’s creative mind, Nicolas Jahns, 29, created Onkler to celebrate the people, fictional or real, who have inspired or empowered him. Unlike other...

NOW: JIL SANDER SS15

Since its creation in 1973, Jil Sander (the brand) had quite of a tumultuous journey. Jil (the woman) was, along with a group of young Japanese designers (Rei Kawakubo’s Comme des garcons, Yohji Yamamoto, Issey Miyake…) one of the rare brave souls contesting the glorious 80s. The brand took off commercially right before the 90s, helped by...

After studying on a BA Menswear degree, Nicomede worked at 3.1 Philip Lim and Lanvin for a few months before returning the CSM to achieve a Master in fashion. Most students graduating from Central Saint Martins tend to obsess with abstraction and volumes. John Galliano, Alexander McQueen or Hussein Chalayan, just to name a few, are perfect examples of...
