Brighton Fashion Week 2012 - Brighton Frocks

Creato il 31 maggio 2012 da Dario Styling @DarioBStyle
Brighton Fashion Week 2012 - Brighton Frocks Here we go. Day 1 of Brighton Fashion Week just gone with the Frocks Show. As you know I was really looking forward to go and have a first hand experience about this Fashion Week as I heard so much about it and wanted to see how it was compared to London and Rome. And really good it was! From the PR people working there, whisking me off to my seat :-) to the way the catwalk was set and the overall run of the event. My impression are partial though, as there are going to be two more shows - The Zeitgeist and The Ready to Wear -, so I'll tell you about the Frock Show.  First things first: the venue. All Saints Church in Hove. A working church, not a disused one. The runway and the audience were right in the central nave of the church :-) Don't know how the two things, fashion and church are related, but it's really good to see that such a place is open to the world.
Eccoci qui. Giorno 1 della Brighton Fashion Week e' andato con il Frocks Show. Come sapete non vedevo l'ora di andarci e di avere esperinza di prima mano di questa Fashion Week,  visto che ne avevo sentito parlare moltissimo e volevo anche vedere com'era a confronto con Londra e Milano. Un'ottima esperienza! A partire dalle PR, che mi hanno accompagnato al mio posto :-) fino al modo in cui la passerella era organizzata e, in generale, come e' gestito l'evento. Le mie impressioni sono ancora parziali, poiche' ci sono ancora due giornate sfilate - The Zeitgeist e il Ready To Wear -, quindi vi diro' del Frocks Show. Prima di tutto: la location. All Saint Church ad Hove. Una chiesa funzionante, non in disuso. La passerella e il pubblico erano proprio al centro della navale pricipale :-) Non ho capito come le due cose, moda e chiesa, siano legate, ma e' bello vedere che un luogo del genere e' aperto al mondo.

 The show and the designers. The Frocks Show is not what you'd expect from a catwalk show - models just strutting  up and down the runway -, but each designer and collection is presented in a show format witha theme, theme related music,background video projection and - in some cases - a performance. I don't want to give too much away here as I'll be reporting about BFW both for Fashion News Magazine (Italy) and Sussex Style Magazine (Uk), but as a stylist I'm going to point out those collection that I believe to be the strongest and be able to do well off the catwalk as well.

Lo show e gli stilisti. Il Frock Show non e' nulla di quelo che ci si aspetta da una sfilata - modelle che vanno su e giu' per la passerella -,ma ogni stilista e collezione sono presentati come uno spettacolo con un tema, musica legata al tema, proiezioni su schermo nello sfondo e  -in acluni casi -una performance. Non vi voglio svelare troppo qui poiche' parlero' approfonditamente della BFW sia su Fashion News Magazine (Italia) che su Sussex Style Magazine (Uk), ma come stylist indichero' quelle collezione e quegli stilisti che credo siano i 'migliori' e che ce la possano fare anche giu' dalla passerella.

 MY STYLIST DESIGNER'S PICK AFTER THE JUMP GLI STILITI MIGLIORI DEL FROCKS FASHION DOPO LA STECCA

Out of the 12 designers 6 stood out among others and just to summarise, their collections fall ( loosely) into 3 categories - so many numbers!! -: retro '50, ethnic/folk and glam-rock.
Retro '50. It comes to me as a really pleasant surprise that on the catwalk the most creative and commercial collections were retro ispired. There are SO MANY retro shops and garments here in Brighton and it is really hard to find something that it's not just a carbon copy straight from Mad Man - season 1 - or something along those lines. Tra i 12 stilisti 6 hanno spiccato tra gli altri e solo per sintetizzare, le loro collezioni ricadono ( piu' o meno) in 3 categorie - quanti numeri!!- : retro anni'50, ethnico/folk e glam-rock.
Retro anni '50. Per me e' una piacevole sorpresa che in passerella le collezioni piu' creative e commerciali siano state quelle con ispirazione retro. Ci sono COSI' TANTI negozi e capi retro a Brighton che e' veramente difficile trovare qualcosa che non sia una copia di quello visto in Mad Man - stagione 1 - o simili.
LOUISE O'MAHONY - Oh My Honey
I know Lousie since a shoot i did back in November 2011 and she pushed forward her designs with a collection of full skirted '50 colourful evening dresses. Just beautiful, femminine and fun.
Conosco Louise dal novembre 2011, quando ho scattato uno dei suoi abiti e ha fatto un bel passo avanti qui con una collezione di abiti da sera colorati anni'50 con gonna a ruot. Bellissimi, femminili e divertenti.

LUCKY DAME
The Lucky Dame collection redefined the world of latex creations. I'm not a expert BUT for the first time I've seen latext creations that are pretty, wearable not trashy or goth looking. The 'Couture Lates' label it's really deserved here.
La collezione di Lucky Dame ridefinisce il mondo delle creazioni in latez. Non sono un esperto MA non per la prima volta ho visto creazioni in latez che sono carinissime, indossabili e non volgari or gotiche. L'etichetta 'Couture Label' e' veramente meritata.
