2011-04-23T04:18:00.000-07:00

S/S 2011_the paradox of perfection / paradoks popolnosti / www.nioka.si

_the spring / summer 2011 collection is inspired by the human body with all its advantages and disadvantages.the body is a timeless design that is given to us. in different cultures it is idealized, presented and cared for in different ways. it is an instrument to create and a machine to kill. on a psychological and physical level a human body itself is so strong that can take us far beyond the limits. on the other hand it is so sensitive and fragile that can be destroyed in a moment. the paradox of perfection is transferred to the collection metaphorically. “what does it mean to be perfect and right?” niOka found the answer by putting together the basic garment patterns, as an ideal body, in unstandard ways or in the wrong positions. the result are 3D layered details on the basic garment pattern.

SS11 BY M* FAGANEL

2011-04-07T02:07:00.000-07:00

spring and summer 2011 collection celebrates flamboyant hedonistic woman, who personalizes the bright energy of blondie's debbie harry. collection, titled bliss, is aiming towards positivistic, personal and at the same time experimental attitude in colthing – it enables women to create their own color blocks in accordance with their feelings. bright bold colors in hot pink, vivid blue and yellow are combined either with neutral black to create a calmer version of the collection, or mutually for livlier feeling.

the brand, which has been founded in 2007 by its creative force matevž faganel, focuses on personal approach in contemporary apparel design. a small studio with intimate atmosphere strives to develop fashion that flatters the woman who wears it: its philosphy arises from the idea that eternity is more than a single fleeting moment and fashion is more than a sequence of brief trends. throughout the years since its creation, m*faganel became the first selection of several slovenian successful women, who decided to choose design, based on personal approach and customer awareness; a brand, known for its flawless and sophisticated cuts, which are at the same time easy-going and relaxed.

IN NO TIME

2010-11-09T04:27:00.000-08:00

aleksandra brlan is a new fashion brand which turns all its devotion to a freespirited young woman with an exquisit taste for fashion and style. the brand is based on the continuity of design which responds to social and cultural actualities and also seeks
humor and fun in fashion.

the inspiration comes from a magic world of futuristic comics by slovenian author tomaz lavric.
the collection is formed through minimalistic, experimental and at some points darring shapes. the play of translucent and wool materials with knits tells a story of the sensual and subtile woman of the future.

the ideas and products of birthday suits develop in a transdisciplinary space between fashion, art and research. 3- dimensional statements are made , based on periodic changing concepts the progress of translation from the current state of a shape into another state is the design method to overcome borders between fashion, art and research.

DIRECTION SOUTH – SOUTH-EAST
Sales exhibition of fashion design of the South and South-East Europe
(Paraphrase to the Hitchock’s cult film South-South-East, the story of mixed identities)

What’s the identity of South-Eastern fashion design and designers, constituting it? Is it the geographical notion of the South-East Europe, the changing cultural, social and economical categories, the stereotypes, the moving borders? Is it the nostalgic view of the Eastern Bloc, transitory postcommunism bricollage or the reflection of modern Eastern Europe? It is all this and more. Exhibition, examining the identity of South-East modern design and its constitutive designers, present the recognizable contemporary, avant-garde, conceptualizing and trend-setting fashion designers from Croatia, Poland, Latvia, Bulgaria, Hungary, Serbia, Czech Republic, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Romania, Ukraine and Slovenia. “Direction South – South-East” is therefore the first exhibition not only inside Slovenian scale, but also in Europe, where the best of fashion designers and brands of this field are going to presents themselves.
So adjust your fashion compass to direction South- South-East!

about szidonia szep

the examination of clothes, its codification and potential to transport thought constitues the guideline of the label of szidonia szep.
this experimental exposure to fashion changes structural principles of different forms of clothes and silhouettes and therefore tries to free one's view from stereotyped ideas and focus on the natural, subjective, respectively collective physical conditions.
the label is characterized by the enhancement and expansion of the clothes as objects and therefore refers to the dealing with present and absent bodies. the special technical structure of these pieces arise associations of the understanding of body with aspects of form and aesthetic, content and concept. the different levels of meaning, which unfold from the worn and static forms of the pieces, are especially perceivable in conjunction with that basic conditions of the diverse forms of presentation. thus the label Szidonia Szep positions itself in between artistic practice and fashionable surroundings.
