Claudio Cutugno, 22 years.

"Construction, details (decorative and sartorial), a social and cultural message: these are the three pillars of fashion”. His points of reference are the artisanal construction details of Martin Margiela, the exaggerated decorativism of Givenchy and the aesthetic of Dries Van Noten.

Luca Lin, 21 years.

He is currently doing a Master’s in art direction. Alexander Wang and Miuccia Prada are his role models.

Deyse Maria Cottini, 22 years.

"My collection reflects my development, the evolution of my thinking and the experiences I’ve had.”

Alessandro Canti & Gianluca Viscomi, 24 years.

"Their imaginative vision feeds of the alienated attitude of the early Martin Margiela, a passion for the quality of Hermés, the formal simplicity of Jil Sander and Zorna, and the innovative character of Marni of course."

The 4 Winners of Next Generation 2015 contest are Alessandro Canti & Gianluca Viscomi, Claudio Cutugno, Deyse Maria Cottini and Luca Lin. Here our selected looks from the runway show during the last milan fashion week. You will find more info about the Next Generation Contest 2015 and winners with our previous presentation here.

Luis Buchinho - fall winter 2015/16

Diogo Miranda - fall winter 2015/16

After Madrid and London, the promotional project of PortugalFashion with the support of ANJE (national association of young entreprises) that aims to reinforce the presence of portuguese designers worldwide, housed this time in Paris, with the debut of Diogo Miranda. The 3 portuguese designers presenting during the parisian fashion week were, Luis Buchinho, Fatima Lopes and the new one, Diogo Miranda. Here our selected looks from the runway shows for fall winter 2015/16 season. The new designer, Diogo Miranda has participated in renowned international showrooms, in London, Berlin and most recently in New York. He usually present his collections during "PortugalFashion" week in Oporto every year.

 

This 3 collections, sometimes sober and with minimal cuts and well-defined silhouettes or very feminine, as for Diogo Miranda, are very characteristic of the designers style. They play with geometric layering or asymmetries (Fatima and Luis). No ostentatious fabrics, Less is more? Surely yes and we appreciate that.

Grimes shares with us the video for the track "realiti". We love, we share. Re-listen also below the track "go" feat blood diamonds, a track included in our playlist AS eclectic n°003

 

"I’m releasing it as a special thank you to everyone in Singapore, KL, Manila, Jakarta, HK, Shanghai, Beijing,Taipei, Seoul, Osaka, Nagoya and Tokyo who came out to the shows! It was an honor to play with a bunch of amazing bands and travel to places I would never otherwise be able to go. This song was never finished. its a demo from ~ the lost album ~, recorded early 2013. i lost the ableton file, so its not mixed or mastered. i tried to doctor the mp3 into a listenable state, but it was poorly recorded in the first place and never meant to be heard by anyone, so its a bit of a mess haha."  Grimes

Listen to Hozier "Take Me To Church" (Frost Remix) here below. You can download the track for free here. We love, we share, hope you enjoy ! Frost is the moniker of young dance producer, Nicholas Frost from Sydney, Australia. With a background in music and a masters in Acoustic Engineering, Frost’s transition into dance music was natural. Frost's obsession with high-calibre record labels such as Dirtybird, Exploited, Anjunadeep and Future Classic drove him towards creating a deeper and darker sound of his own. The first musical release, a bootleg of Hozier’s incredible "Take Me To Church" will be followed with original productions in the coming months.  + via hozier official page here.

"Crooked Colours are back with a brand new single 'Another Way' which Line of Best Fit calls "a slick, forward-thinking piece of pop gold". The release comes just in time to take it on the road as they play main support for fellow West Australian band San Cisco.

'Another Way' further develops their unique sound. With haunting vocals courtesy of lead singer Phil Slabber that have established the band as one of the hottest electronic acts coming out of Australia. The band's last single 'Capricious' (listen below) touched on a darker direction for the band which has been continued with this latest offering and setting the scene for a very unique release later this year through Sweat It Out Music. Rumours from the Crooked Colours camp is that work has begun on a full length record."

"The inspiration comes of the rock impact in their natural habitat and in its purest state, transporting us to others times as if we had stuck in time. Is all about the origin, than has ever changed (if not by nature itself and its stage of processing) as if there was nothing beyond that place, nothing beyond the beauty and the purity transmitting us energy, shapes, volume and movement, where three of the four elements are present (Air, Water, Earth). The Nature and the details that surround it are based for the colors, shapes, materials and collection details. She play with the colors from the rocks, the multitude of colors, the degrade, the reflections and transparencies..."

" The sporty-chic collection uses technical textures and techniques softened by a new ethnic mood in which prints – the true stars of the collection – inspired by Bauhaus and architecture have been geometrically re-elaborated. Each garment reveals a simplicity that hides the technical complexity of its construction with distinctive geometric shapes. Simple, minimalist volumes are combined with a burst of vibrant colors, sophisticated prints, and ethnic references. " Byblos  Milano

Gray Malin, "Lisbon umbrella"

The photographer Gray Malin travels around the world, shooting the most beautiful beaches while flying above in a helicopter. “From above, a simple beach or pool becomes a blank canvas that allows me to start seeing the world as art. People and objects become patterns creating repetition, shape and form. These photographs are a visual celebration of colour, light, shape— and summer bliss.”  Gray created images according to Sperry Spirit that travelling is more than a simple picture, as Sperry shoe than a simple boat shoe. It’s a shared experience and a way of life invitation, the one within everyday is an escape. Inspired by a shot of his feet dangling over the beaches of Chicago, Gray reached out to Sperry to create a collection that features three of Gray's famous beach photographs on four of Sperry's most iconic silhouettes for both men and women. The collaboration results in a collection of men and women shoes, that includes 3 famous photographs  taken in Lisbon (Portugal), Cefalù (Sicile) and Le Cap ( South Africa).

- The collection Sperry x Gray Malin will be available at colette store in Paris from 22th until 27th March 2015.
- Opening with Gray Malin on March 25th from 5 until 7 P.M.

"In his collection MARTIN KEEHN explores his love of pop culture while finding inspiration in lesser noticed more common characters in our lives such as the high school gym teacher versus the smart ass class clown or obscure references like French Connection 2, the sequel. While most are doing “twists on American classics”, Martin does twisted American classics yet somehow finds sexiness and global utilitarian elegance within." MK

"Art and its artifacts always infuse Sylvio Giardina’s work. In his new creative project, a small, dark, slightly convex object with a black tinted surface fascinated Sylvio: it was the “Claude mirror”, which abstracts landscape sceneries, while unifying shapes and lines and blurring details. The new creative process starts from this vision, where fabrics and shapes blend and colors sway. Black plays a predominant role in the collection, yet the polished and mirroring fabrics create optical and vibrant effects, giving way to pure geometric shapes, defined by brown, navy blue and hazel hues. Some outfits are embellished with Plexiglas necklaces, playing out a double role, complementing the dress and working as an accessory. Fiercely believing in having fun by letting ideas run free, Sylvio introduces to the public a mini collection of accessories, made of earrings in mirroring black Plexiglas and tortoiseshell necklaces."

"Last year was nothing short of career changing for Olly, Emre and Mikey – who came out of the blocks with their single ‘Real’ in spring. Having initially grabbed the attention of key tastemakers with their debut, they quickly cemented their status as a sure–fired act to watch across the board with follow up singles 'Take Shelter,' the chart bothering 'Desire,' and smash hit 'King,' which hit #1 in the UK and received a staggering 4 million plays on Soundcloud! The stars aligned even more for Years & Years at the tail end of 2014. Off the back of support slots for Clean Bandit and Sam Smith, a performance on ‘Later With Jools,’ and they were named the BBC Sound of 2015 winners! Now the band is back with new single 'Worship' and the announcement of up coming record Communion available june 19th."
