Cutting their teeth at Vivienne Westwood and Preen respectively, Marques and Almeida took the natural course of combin­ing talents while on the MA at Central SaintMartins – hitting the mark between impulse and consideration.
    Marta Marques and Paulo Almeida  launched  the MARQUES ‘ ALMEIDA in April2011 and showed for their first 2 seasons under Lulu Kennedy’s platform – Fashion East. They have been awarded NEWGEN sponsorship from the British Fashion Council/Topshop and have shown SS 13 , AW 13 and SS14 on schedule at London Fashion Week 2015.
    Having had their work published in magazines like VOGUE UK, ELLE UK, VOGUE PARIS etc … MARQUES ‘ ALMEIDA was referred by ELLE UK as the “new go to label for distressed denim”. Their collection has experimental designs often with unfinished hems .

    MARQUES ‘ ALMEIDA have recently been nominated for the Emerging Talent  – Womenswear Award at the British Fashion Awards 2013.

    About
    Canadian twin brothers from Dsquared, Dean and Dan Caten have operated in the international fashion business since 1984. They moved to New York City in 1983 to attend the Parson’s School of Design and in 1991 came to Italy where in 1994, after many collaborations with the most important fashion houses, they had their first men’s collection show, marking the first in a long succession of runway extravaganzas that were to capture the attention of journalists and buyers for their perfect combination of fashion, music and theater.The intelligent mix of irreverent Canadian wit and refined Italian tailoring, together with attention to detail are the foundation of today’s Dsquared2 philosophy, which has given life to a unique concept of alternative luxury.

  • James Long Patchwork Fall 2015 Menswear Lookbook | Patchworked!

    James Long Patchwork Fall 2015 Menswear Lookbook | Patchworked!

    James Long trained at the Royal College of Art, graduating with a Master’s degree in Menswear and Accessories. He was recently awarded the Fashion Forward Sponsorship by the British Fashion Council and is known among fashion press and buyers as “one of London’s promising menswear designers.” His work represents a strong, directional man, incorporating elements like leather and knits in neutral colors to highlights this aesthetic.

    James Long has fast become one of the most sought after design talents in London. Recently James won the Fashion Forward Award, a British Fashion Council initiative set up to promote emerging design talent and provide funding to talented British designers. It is his instantly recognizable use of leather, print and denim that is key to the James Long aesthetic. Whilst working closely with stylist Luke Day, James Long has become one of the hottest designers at London Fashion Week.

    We give below some looks from his AW’15 collection which extensively uses patched denim , denim leather combinations, embroideries and embellishments  and even denim+non-denim combinations. But patchwork seems to stand out as the prime theme of his collection . We have been looking at increased usage of patches by designers in bringing out that non-conformist look in their collections and which is being increasingly been taken up by brands (though at not so elaborate a scale) . Perhaps , again denim is looking for a break away from traditional looks to appeal to consumers.

  • Vicunha AW-15/16 Denim Collection

    Vicunha, the famous denim group from Brazil  with production  distributed among five manufacturing facilities in Brazil, Ecuador and Argentina , brings out their AW15/16 denim collection. The collection has some interesting concepts including brilliant coatings (Carbolumen), denim for athletic purposes and super power stretches. We bring here a summary of their main concepts.

    SUPER POWER STRETCH

    Shirt weights, satin weaves, chambrays as well as 4×1, 3×1 and 2×1 weaves are part of the SUPER POWER STRETCH program that became one of the basis segments with a fabric elasticity of up to 67%.  The weights are mainly   between 7 and 10 oz. Alongside colors and washes, optics and structure play the leading role: “high density denims” with a clean look and a soft and comfortable feeling prevail which, according to Vicunha, are important menswear as well. Consequently, the highlights include light denim qualities produced from cotton or mixtures of Tencel for blue denim shirts, as well as in women’s fashion for jumpsuits, overalls and skirts. Thomas Dislich , marketing Director says :

    “In general, there is a strong trend towards fine, combed yarns, comfort yarns and polyamide: a soft, casual feeling is the most important issue.Thus, the SUPER POWER STRETCH remains a front-runner, not only for slim shapes, but also to guarantee the authenticity of form and best wearing comfort.”

A sophisticated softening treatment ensures succinct effects and a  contrast of glossy and matt surfaces.

    METALLIC GLAM

    Glamour stays! Shine and glitter effects created through micro-particles applied on the fabric surface ensure exciting metallic looks. In addition to the characteristic black and silver, this season Metallic also strikes with strong colors such as royal blue and grass green.

    TRANSFORMING DENIM

    TRANSFORMING DENIM “turns“ blue denim into a  piece of art, which is mixed up with bright colors. The shades of color depend on the grade of chemical treatment, for instance, by the use of permanganate spray during the washing process. The creative diversity due to the various color shadings – from soft to vivid – allows a wide range of options for the production of unique, exclusive pieces.

    Round Midnight

    “Round Midnight is a modern nod to the rock icons of the 60’s and 70’s. The 60’s and 70’s were a time of great change in the world, particularly in fashion. This change is personified by the rock icons of the time. From classic front men like Morrison, Jagger and Hendrix to punk bands like The Clash and The Ramones. ‘Round Midnight is a modern nod to these musical innovators.Developed for both men and women, it is a mix of breathable comfort underneath, with bold and sleek coatings on top. There are three new coatings: Glaze (soft feeling with a leather-like shine), Haze (smooth matte for a smart casual look with clean twill lines) and Craze(subtle, natural shine which develops a unique character with wear). This collection, designed by Serdar Uzuntas, is as wild and fresh as its inspiration.”
