Roberto Piqueras in Primitive Gallery

Roberto Piqueras in Primitive Gallery

The collections by Barcelona designer Roberto Piqueras grow in audacity and boldness season after season; colours and prints invade all his -unisex, in many occasions- garments inspired by sportswear, in a battle to death with discretion. That is why if I were in London I wouldn’t miss tomorrow, from 6 p.m. the presentation of...

Voo Store

Voo store in Berlin is kind of hidden -in one of those so-typical courtyards in the German capital- in the number 24 in Oranienstrasse. When I discovered it the other day, visiting the pop-up store Primitive London had installed there, I couldn’t believe I had been missing that amazing spot for so long. The...

A Cold Walk in Thingvellir with Saga Sig

I had these images by Saga Sig, an Icelandic photographer based in London, somewhere in my computer since some months ago and today, totally by chance -and luckily- I have found them again.

Only a designer -and all the ones around him/her, actively contributing to carry out the project- knows the real work behind a show that, after months of everlasting days and sleepless nights, goes away lasting no more than a few minutes.

Theyskens’ Theory

Theyskens’ Theory

I was really looking forward to see more of Nina Ricci’s universe through Olivier Theyskens’ eyes, a universe rejuvenated by him and which he suddenly turned so appealing.

Paris FW: Shopping in Merci

In fact, I had no intention at all of talking about Merci when I got into the shop the other day on my way to Ann Demeulemeester’s show. Mainly because, sometimes, I have the feeling everybody knows this kind of stuff and I don’t like to be repetitive and also because, since it became...

The presentation of the womenswear collection by Amberes-graduated Bernhard Willhelm was much more alternative than could be expected of any presentation taking place during Paris Fashion Week: in Kogan Gallery, next to Centre Pompidou, models danced on a little stage, surrounded by a particular attrezzo half-way between recycling and DIY while the rest of...
