|TALENT| Anntian S/S 2011 Collection

"Picturing ones dreamily look on the ocean, the collection plays with the variety of thoughts and feelings evoked within. Tropical fruits, their taste and inherent beauty, plants and the unique diversity of rich colors, surfaces and haptics they offer, their smells, their taste... Colours like sky-oceanblue, coconut white, reed and kiwi green, coral and watermelon red, orange, citron yellow go along with natural, soft, fluent and trasparent, so as pure, rigid and clears materials".

That's the new Anntian S/S 2011 "OCEAN VIEW" Collection, the label started in Berlin in 2006 by designers Anne Hilken and Christian Kurt. Every piece is unique and special since graphics and colors are handpainted or handprinted.

Fashion Talent | Miriam Schaaf

I am always looking for german designers and, I must say, I get always real gratification from Munich. It's definitely an avant-garde city, churning out cutting-edge talents as Miriam Schaaf, a designer to watch. With her new futuristic masculine / unisex collection "You're A Woman - I'm A Machine", Schaaf recreates the dark-cyborg spirit, telling us a dream: an Android falls in love with a Prima Ballerina, a romantic version of the film Terminator.

(Sono sempre alla ricerca di designer tedeschi e, devo dire, Monaco mi dà sempre molte soddisfazioni. E' decisamente una città continuamente all'avanguardia e sforna talenti come Miriam Schaaf, una designer da tenere d'occhio. Con la sua nuova futuristica collezione maschile/unisex “You're A Woman – I'm A Machine”, la Schaaf reinterpreta lo spirito dark-cyborg, raccontandoci un sogno: un Androide si innamora della Prima Ballerina, una versione romantica del film Terminator.)

You can also watch the collection fashion movie on Vimeo here.

 

The collection stages materials as wool, viscose, cotton and polyurethane in a few basic colors: white, black, pink and gray. And just like robots, the german designer's items can be disassembled, like interchangeable artificial limbs, making endless combinations possible.

(La collezione mette in scena materiali come lana, viscosa, cotone e poliuretano in pochi colori basici: bianco, nero, rosa e grigio. E proprio come Robot, i capi della Schaaf sono smontabili, come protesi intercambiabili, rendendo possibili infinite combinazioni.)
