| Syuzena Pitz
Roberto Cavalli Fall/Winter 2015-2016 ready-to-wear collection was shown in Milan Fashion Week, 28 Ferbuary 2015.
( in February my Fashion Magazine wasn’t online but i’ll write more about me and about my Fashion Magazine-Blog ,editing the first postings, now back to Roberto Cavalli! )
If you are looking for animals prints ,knitted Dresses Streaming in long silken tassels and sizzling ombré plissé gowns then Roberto Cavalli Collection will be your favorite ( i am going crazy about few Looks!)
There’s no mistaking the Cavalli customer, she’s the one in Cannes dancing on super yachts until the small hours – those tassels will look just marvelous in motion – but this season she’s looking for love, not just a good time. Poetic blouses with ruffled bibs and frilly cuffs cinched in ribbons added an air of romance to proceedings, so too those scarf prints spread over wafty bohemian maxi dresses and voluminous silk jumpsuits.
Other highlights included a brief military moment, with fur-hooded khaki pony skin parkas, cargo mini skirts in corduroy and boxy officer jackets punctuated in gold conical buttons. Denim too got an outing – remember, the fabric was a Cavalli starting point in the early Seventies – here it was patchworked together, and elsewhere covered in black micro sequins – ideal for catching those lights on dance floors the world over!

Ulyana Sergeenko Haute Couture A/W 2015-2016 – Glamour pure!

Ulyana Sergeenko Haute Couture A/W 2015-2016 Collection.
Communal Apartments in the USSR aren’t generally associated with glamour, yet the Kazakhstan-born designer presented her own dramatic, glitzy version of living conditions under Marxism-Leninism.
 There were long hems, lampshade volumes and soft fabrics like velvet and satin for the once grandes dames, ex-owners of the 10-room homes they now shared with peasants dressed in traditional motifs – one black-and-white dress with a lace panel representing a squirrel paired with a fur bonnet stood out .And the festive spirit was still there, explored through a series of naïf draped or plissé dresses covered in embroidered and printed confetti, and not-so innocent boudoir pieces in embroidered pale blue silk and peach crêpe. A bejewelled babydoll dress worn with a velvet-and-fur ice-cream cone bag had a whiff of Mikhail Bulgakov to it. Flower embroideries in a burgundy jacket-and-skirt ensemble turned the model into a poupée russe. But that’s where Sergeenko’s talent lies: in thoroughly exploring Russian imagery, and almost (if not quite) giving it a humorous Twist.
Top model Natalia Vodianova,one of the best friends of Ulyana said :
„It’s a brand that has an incredible potential. … I actually have a big passion for craftsmanship and I think that Ulyana is an incredible force behind Russian craftsmanship.
She’s gathering young and old women from all over Russia in her atelier in Moscow. She now has over 100 full-time people employed in embroidering, carving and doing beading and all kinds of work that goes into her collection.
Ulyana is the reason that all women in Moscow dress like princesses.“

Jean Paul Gaultier Haute Couture A/W 2015-2016 – *Gaultier goes Breton*

Jean Paul Gaultier Haute Couture A/W 2015 -2016 Collection inspired  by Breton.
Bagpipe music, dark lighting, and sailor inspired looks all debuted at the new Jean Paul Gaultier Fall/Winter 2015 couture collection in homage to Bretagne, a region in France still full of tradition.
Stunning art forms with intricate details from top to bottom with huge ball gowns, Anna Cleveland debuted the final wedding gown and it certainly deserved around of applause. Gaultier and Cleveland danced down the runway hand and hand to the song „In The Navy“ by Village People.
The Breton stripe, as worn by sailors, has become synonymous with Jean Paul Gaultier over the years.
So Wednesday’s fall-winter couture collection – inspired by the French region of Brittany – seemed like a wholly natural place for the French designer.
The results were more theatre than couture. But the exuberant couturier produced a highly infectious presentation, replete with an entire traditional Breton orchestra performing bagpipes on the runway, crepe-makers handing out delights and one model marching theatrically down in a giant patchwork couture explosion with a tube wig that had one guest weeping with laughter.
The collection saw lashings of Breton stripes, in blue and white tights, sheer black velvet blouses – and traditional lace Breton tube hats in exaggerated heights.
The Celtic Circle defined many of the silhouettes – appearing as giant circle skirts often embroidered in traditional patterns – and one gold show-stopper with black feather fringing.

Catherine Deneuve applauded enthusiastically from the front row alongside American actress Michelle Rodriguez.
„I’ve loved Gaultier since I was in my twenties,“ Rodriguez told The Associated Press. „He’s just got always that edge, you know? He’s like an artist and he’s never scared.“

Armani Privé Haute Couture A/W 2015 -2016 Collection – Giorgio Armani expressed his creativity through his gorgeous design!

Armani Privé Haute Couture A/W 2015 -2016 Collection – Giorgio Armani  expressed his creativity through his gorgeous design!
Paris Haute Couture Week, 7 July 2015.
Giorgio Armani decided to view his Fall/Winter 2015 haute couture Armani Privé through rose colored glasses. Actually, let’s make that shocking pink glasses, as the Italian designer proposed a collection that was all about neon tinged afterhours colors and textural transformations.
All of the sartorial hallmarks the world has come to know and respect from Armani were apparent on his catwalk. The perfectionist tailoring, the bold jewelry, the shimmering eveningwear, a healthy dose of velvet, a fair share of feathers, and some serious statement hairdos.
But as Naomi Watts, Clive Owens, and Emmanuelle Béart looked on, it was the impressive play of vibrant colors deftly muted or exploited by the designer that was the novelty of the night. Many of the looks, from a sharp shouldered blazer in a degrade of silk Lurex and a full speckled jacquard skirt to a shaded silk buster dress or one in tiers of gauze, shot through with an assortment of colorful shimmering wool, explored a sophisticated color play.
Watching the collection unfold, it was almost as if Armani had captured the undulating beauty of neon lights from a dance club reflected in the inky black puddles on a rain slicked asphalt. Their harsh reality softened by the designer into something elegant and just a tad louche.
The other major story of the collection was the textural nature of almost every outfit. Shaded feather, fringing, or three-dimensional beading made the ensemble more tangible and tactile.
Combined with the rich color palette, the clothing in this couture collection was, to say the least, impressive.

  “I wanted to express my creativity!”said Giorgio Armani  during a preview of his Armani Privé collection.
