Peep Rihanna's Emporio Armani Capsule Collab!!
Armani Jeans present their second capsule collection designed in collaboration with Rihanna: a range of new must-have jeans and lingerie items, available in stores worldwide from mid-April 2012.
Rihanna, an artist who has sold more than 35 million albums and 120 million singles across the globe, and winner of 6 Grammy Awards, is the face of our advertising campaigns for two of our brands. Extremely talented and highly feminine, Rihanna possesses verve and incredible energy, embodying the young, modern and captivating spirit of Armani Jeans.
Giorgio Armani says, "Rihanna is a great artist. She has personality, charisma and energy, and has been a pleasure to work with. She captures the young and contemporary essence of Emporio Armani Underwear and Armani Jeans perfectly."
Rihanna says, "I have always really admired Giorgio Armani and his elegant work; I never dreamed I'd be able to collaborate with him to design unique, modern and fun clothing."
Paige + Liberty 2012 Collection
"When I was looking through the binders and books of Liberty's prints, it was fun for me to capture a print that is quintessentially Liberty and design a style that also fits the Paige brand," says Paige Adams-Geller, co-founder and creative director of Paige. I had the pleasure to meet Paige for the first time exactly one year ago, and she really impressed me with her dynamic and embracing vision of denim trends.
This collaboration proves once more, that Paige is not merely printing jeans, but creating a whole story and giving a special meaning to her prints (remember her Toulouse prints a few months ago?)
TOPMAN Denim Jacket Collaboration
Topman is announcing the arrival of the Denim Jacket Project. Available in stores and online 18th April, Topman has invited some of the most talented designers from both sides of the Atlantic to refresh and update the classic denim jacket. The line-up is made up of notable British menswear talent who have each met one of the following requirements: shown in Topman's and Fashion East's initiative MAN, shown in the Topman-sponsored New Gen Men, or previously collaborated with Topman. From the UK there are Oliver Spencer, Lou Dalton, Katie Eary and Shaun Samson. Also participating is one of the most talked about talents to emerge from New York, Mark McNairy. Topman Design rounds out the impressive line-up.
Personally, I strongly believe in collaborations. Not only do they offer amazing possibilities to add a little extra to a brand, but they also make it possible for designers to add their own point of view, their own creation, to an already existing brand.
Stephen Burrows For Raven Denim
During NYFW, Raven showed its collection from their collaboration with Stephen Burrows. This marks the first time that Burrows has shown jeans on the runway and Raven Denim's first collaboration with a designer.
The show was happening in the Audi Building on New York's famous Park Avenue, and you can see on these pictures that even non-invited "guests" were having a blast while they were watching the show through the windows! The show was packed and I was blessing Jeffrey Campbell for inventing those huge platform sneakers, so I was able to look over the crowd and catch a few glimpses of the runway.
Afterwards, I was able to check out these jeans and they are amazing. Done with the expert craftsmanship of Raven's designer Ya-el Torbati, paired with fashion icon Burrows' trademark red stitching, you are in for a treat!
Notify And Manish Arora Collaboration Lookbook
Notify and Manish Arora created an amazing capsule collection for this Spring and Summer: exquisite embroideries using a range of techniques and color, futuristic notes with iridescent patchwork, florescent 3-D and all over prints such as the Happy People print by iconic photographer Robert Altman.
Manish Arora is an Indian fashion designer based in New Delhi. In early 2011, he was appointed as creative director of the womenswear collection of the French fashion house, Paco Rabanne.
These pieces are really awesome. They are way beyond what you call a pair of jeans. Are they pants or objets d'art? Whichever they may be, when you wear them, you absolutely will feel unique and special. For instance, those gold jeans (shown above) are made of the softest leather imaginable and have stretch too! I am really in awe of each and every single item in this collection.
