Africa inspired looks

Creato il 13 giugno 2014 da Silverstar

Sembra sempre una novità , ma si potrebbe dire che si tratta dell'ennesima ricaduta, perché dal Mal d'Africa, in fondo, la moda non è mai veramente guarita.
Immancabili come le migrazioni dei Big Five dopo le grandi piogge (ebbene sì, Discovery Channel colpisce ancora) ogni primavera ecco il ritorno nelle nostre savane d'asfalto di donne zebra, tigre, giraffa... Per non parlare di quella sottile insofferenza che prende tutte noi, infreddolite e pallide occidentali, al primo raggio di sole: all'improvviso vogliamo sole, caldo sulla pelle e colore negli armadi!
E soprattutto, scommetoo che in questo momento molte di noi vogliono fare le valigie e andarsene ovunque, purché lontano.
E la moda ci dà gioco: dalle sahariane couture create già nel '68 da Yves Saint Laurent alle incursioni tribal di Jean Paul Gaultier, ai wax rivisitati di Junya Watanabe di qualche estate fa, le citazioni etniche nel prêt-à-porter hanno sempre giocato con la voglia di evasione, anche se solo con la fantasia.
Quest'anno, a trasformarci in regine Ashanti o esploratrici del deserto, non c'è solo l'ispirazione estetica, ma anche la voglia di recuperare lavorazioni artigianali sontuose, le uniche in grado di fare la differenza tra proposte di prêt-à-porter sempre più globali e omogeneizzate.
Ecco quindi comparire trench e parka "contaminati" da collari fatti a mano all'uncinetto, profili di rafia, tessere in resina e perline ricamate; sandali Masai e grandi borse di pelle intrecciata che riprendono i colori dei murales in Sudafrica. Il tutto, senza allontanarsi da una silhouette quasi bon ton, fatta di gonne al ginocchio e abiti da cocktail che si adatta perfettamente alla vita cittadina.

It seems new everytime, but you could say that this is just a umpteenth relapse, because fashion, after all, is never truly healed from the Africa blues.
Inevitable as the migration of the Big Five after rains (yes, Discovery Channel strikes again) every spring, here is the return in our savannas of asphalt of zebra, tiger, giraffe
women... Not to mention the subtle intolerance that takes all us, cold and pale western girls, at the first ray of sun: suddenly we want sun, warm on the skin and color in the wardrobe!
And above all, I bet that right now many of us just want to pack up and go, anywhere but far away.
And fashion joins the game: since the Saharan couture created in '68 by Yves Saint Laurent to tribal incursions by Jean Paul Gaultier, and Junya Watanabe revisited wax of a few summers ago, ethnic references in ready-to-wear have always played with the desire to escape, even if only with the imagination.
This year, to transform us into Ashanti
queens or explorers of the desert, there is not only the aesthetic inspiration, but also the desire to recover sumptuous craftsmanship, the only ones capable of making the difference among the proposals of ready-to-wear increasingly global and homogenized.
So appears trench coats and parkas "contaminated" by
crochet collars handmade, raffia profiles, resin beads and embroideries; Masai sandals and large woven leather handbags that reflect the colors of the murals in South Africa. All this, without moving away from a silhouette bon ton, made of knee-length skirts and cocktail dresses, that perfectly fit the city life.
