SS12 Fashion Trend Report: All White

White is a must have classic, especially for summer, and the current season was no exception. Total white simply had to be there, either in crisp, almost sterilised, clean looks that favored precision-cut tailoring, or in frivolous, girly ensembles where broderie anglaise, lace and sheer fabrics were absolute stars.

Το λευκό είναι κλασικό χρώμα για την γκαρνταρόμπα, ειδικά το καλοκαίρι, και η φετινή σεζόν δεν αποτέλεσε εξαίρεση. Οι ολόλευκες εμφανίσεις ήταν εκεί, είτε με 'αυστηρά', σχεδόν αποστειρωμένα, καθαρά λουκ, με σαφή προτίμηση στα κοψίματα ακριβείας, είτε με ανάλαφρα, κοριτσίστικα σύνολα όπου η μπροντερί ανγκλαίζ, η δαντέλα και οι διαφάνειες ήταν οι απόλυτες σταρ.

Doesn't white look so cool now with the weather being so melting hot? It just looks like the sea foam, calling you to dive in... So let's all empty our heads from worries and dive into majestic, brilliant, classic summer white!

Δε δείχνει τόσο δροσερό το λευκό τώρα που ο υδράργυρος έχει χτυπήσει κόκκινο; Φαίνεται σαν τον αφρό της θάλασσας, που μας καλεί να βουτήξουμε... Ας αδειάσουμε λοιπόν τα κεφάλια μας από τις έννοιες και ας βουτήξουμε στο μεγαλειώδες, λαμπερό, κλασικό καλοκαιρινό λευκό!

SS12 Fashion Trend Report: Sea World

I am convinced you are going to love the trend I have chosen to present to you today! Designers this season seem to be inspired by what lies below sea level. And they have done an amazing job showing us magical clothes that imitate creatures like sea anemones and sponges, or even sea foam, or include concrete shapes like starfish, seahorses and sea shells. Mermaids, as well as all the colours of the creatures (mythical or real)  that live inside the sea are also in fashion. The runway shows of Alexander McQueen, Chanel and Versace were simply a feast for the eyes.

Είμαι πεπεισμένη ότι θα αγαπήσετε την τάσηπου έχω επιλέξει να σας παρουσιάσω σήμερα! Οι σχεδιαστές αυτήν τη σεζόν φαίνεται πως εμπνέονται από ό,τι υπάρχει κάτω από το επίπεδο της θάλασσας. Και έχουν κάνει μια καταπληκτική δουλειά, δείχνοντάς μας μαγευτικά ρούχα που μιμούνται πλάσματα όπως οι θαλάσσιες ανεμώνες και τα σφουγγάρια, ή ακόμη και τον αφρό της θάλασσας, ή περιλαμβάνουν σχήματα όπως οι αστερίες, οι ιππόκαμποι και τα όστρακα. Οι γοργόνες, καθώς επίσης και όλα τα χρώματα των πλασμάτων (μυθικών ή πραγματικών) που ζουν μέσα στη θάλασσα είναι επίσης στη μόδα. Οι πασαρέλες των Alexander McQueen, Chanel και Versace ήταν απλά μια πανδαισία.

I have no words... All I can add to that beauty is the fact that, here in Greece, this theme touches us deeply. So it goes without saying that our artists, designers and makers love working on it. Enjoy!

Δεν έχω λόγια... Το μόνο που μπορώ να προσθέσω σε αυτήν την ομορφιά είναι το γεγονός ότι, εδώ στην Ελλάδα, αυτό το θέμα μας αγγίζει βαθιά. Επομένως είναι αυτονόητο ότι οι καλλιτέχνες μας, οι σχεδιαστές και οι δημιουργοί, λατρεύουν να δουλεύουν πάνω σε αυτό. Απολαύστε!

SS12 Fashion Trend Report: Birds

One of the things you notice when it's spring is the birds. If you listen and look closely, that is. You realize it's mating season, and you can't help feeling amazed at the invincible power of life. A very striking contrast after such a harsh winter. Which makes it a wonderful thing that birds are incredibly fashionable at the moment. Exotic, realistic, romantic or graphic, birds were definitely on the runways, and they should be in our wardrobe as well! Just think of all the good that birds do to us. This fashion is therapeutic, I tell you!

SS12 Fashion Trend Report: Pastel Colors

Colors with very low saturation are a big trend this spring. Ranging from very pale to warmer shades, our wardrobe simply cannot go without those pastels. The way to combine them best, if we want to add intensity to our outfit, will be with touches of black or a neon bright version of the same colour.
