Sandra Backlund in Milano

I previously posted some of her genious pieces but today I am very excited since I had the chance to meet her and see 4 great pieces she has produced with an italian manufacturer.
The incredible designer usually creates her stunning archi-sculptural clothing with her manual, hand knitting work.

She recently met Maglificio Miles in Vicenza and they worked on a few incredible pieces, produced with the best and most technological knitting machines + passion.
Says Sandra:
"It was of course a big step for me to go from working alone in my studio, inventing pieces by doing them myself by hand, to suddendly be a part of a team of experts within a field of knitwear I never before have had the chance to get to know. I was overwhelmed by all of possibilities I saw for this collaboration and even though it was a real chalenge for me to learn to think in differently when creating, I now see how to develop my colections in ways that I never thought it was possible."

Gianfranco Ferré

I was really thrilled to be at Ferré's show yesterday...the atmosphere was kinda strange because of the negative financial issues involving the maison...
Anyway, the collection was really beautiful and one of a kind. Aquilano and Rimondi were more connected to Gianfranco Ferré's essence than ever. They perfectly captured and sublimed the brand's dna with that peculiar capability to perfectly melt architecture and feminine fluidity. Tradition blown into future with a fresh touch.
Images speak themselves.

Emanuelle Alt

This is "the" Jacket - by Balmain - and she is an icon, to me. Effortless natural chic.

I have to say that I am finding many interesting collections and pieces in these NY FallWinter 2009 fashion shows.
But as a first post, i would like to publish these two great zebra patterned shoe/boot by Matthew Wiliamson (great great collection!).
I bet these two will be in several wish lists soon...
