In case you didn’t know it, Band of Outsiders apart from having a very cool name has a very nice esthetic: if you take a look to their site, you will find many polaroids portraying interesting subjects like celebrities in everyday life situations wearing their clothes. Not only Band of Outsiders have this fine look for fashion photography but they also find the right faces to catch their mood: their Spring 2012 testimonial is the fashion (and this blog’s as well since we love her style and attitude) darling Michelle Williams, portrayed in the Los Angeles Cemetery. The atmosphere is that of mellow colours of nice weather fading away, leaving space in the rarefact light of polaroids for memories and mind-wandering. The clothes follow the faded tones of light blue and white, with hints of black like the straw hat in a Buster Keaton’s style, that looks like the medium that put Michelle in contact with a parallel surrealist world spreading with spring’s blooms.

Band of Outsiders a parte il fatto di avere un nome molto cool, e’ un brand che segue un’estetica alquanto ricercata: guardando il loro sito, potete trovare una grande quantita’ di polaroid che ritrattogono soggetti interessanti, come celebrities in situazioni di everyday life che indossano i loro capi. Band of Outsiders non ha solo questo spiccato gusto estetico per la fotografia di moda ma ha anche un buon fiuto per scegliere i volti piu’ in linea col loro mood: la loro testimonial per la Primavera Estate 2012 e’ la favorita della moda (e di questo blog anche, poiche’ amiamo il suo stile e attitude) Michelle Williams, fotografata nel Los Angeles Cemetery. L’atmosfera e’ quella dei colori caldi del bel tempo che svaniscono, lasciando spazio nella luce rarefatta delle polaroid a memorie e a vaneggi tra i ricordi. Gli abiti si uniscono con toni slavati di azzurro pallido e bianco, con tratti sottili di nero come quello del cappello di paglia alla Buster Keaton, che sembra quasi il mezzo che mette Michelle in contatto con un mondo parallelo e surrealista che sboccia coi frutti della primavera.

.. And it looks pretty amazing. What immediately grabs my attention are the signature necklaces of the brand that have been at the top of my obsessions’ list a while ago: Marni statement accessories have the power to dramatically change the simplest look and give it much of a stronger personality. I like also the jackets (the dotted one and the shiny black one) and tees, painted in those intellectual tribal chic prints that are signature of the brand. Another pleasant surprise: the man! This capsule collection is really interesting from A to Z. The jackets are a mixture of casual sportswear lines and eccentric bright colors that give to this line the status of an urban classic: the lines of the suit is classy but contemporary (look at the nice calf-lenght and cigarette line of trousers), shirts are that nice mix of prints and bicolor that can suit every occasion, and the ties are proper intellectual cool. See you in the H&M stores, March 8th.

.. Ed e’ sorprendente. A catturare subito la mia attenzione sono le collane-signature del brand che sono state in cima alla lista delle mie ossessioni un po’ di tempo fa: gli accessori statement di Marni hanno il potere di cambiare totalmente il piu’ semplice dei look e dargli una personalita’ ben delineata. Mi piacciono molto anche le giacche (quella a pois a quella dal corpetto lucido) e le t-shirts, con le stampe intellectual-chic tribali tipiche del marchio. Un’altra piacevole sorpresa riguarda la collezione uomo: questa capsule collection e’ davvero interessante dalla A alla Z. Le giacche: un misto di linee casual sportswear e colori fluo brillanti che conferiscono a questa collezione lo status di urban classic: la linea del completo e’ elegante ma attuale (da notare la linea a sigaretta dei pantaloni e la loro lunghezza giusto alla caviglia), le camicie sono un bel mix di stampe e bicolore adatto per ogni occasione, e le cravatte rispecchiano il perfetto intellectual cool. L’appuntamento e’ negli stores H&M, 8 Marzo.

New York fashion week has always the same effect on me.. I like everything I see!

La New York fashion week ha sempre lo stesso effetto su di me.. Mi piace tutto!

Calla created a girlie, cool and nonchalant collection that has kind of sexy but comfy lines and eclectic prints, coloured ink-jet style. I must say this collection really hit me because of the ability of the designer Calla Haynes strongly came up in showing something discrete, not too loud but perfect.

Calla ha creato una collezione cool, rilassata e femminile con abiti che cadono comodi ma anche sexy e dalle stampe eclettiche in stile getti di colore. Devo dire che questa collezione mi ha molto colpito per l’abilita’ della designer Calla Haynes di trovare la perfezione in un prodotto discreto e non troppo chiassoso.

J.Crew: they presented that lovely mix with silk blouses and trousers and knee-long skirts that could be loved by every girl.. I always think a modern Audrey could be seen often in J.Crew in her everyday life, walking down the streets of New York. Oh, and there has been nothing less but the preview of Manolo Blahnink’s shoes collection for J.Crew, classic and plain chic items in pastel and in flower and abstract prints: another reason to wait impatiently for the collection to be distributed.

J.Crew: hanno presentato quell’adorabile mix con top e pantaloni in seta e gonne al ginocchio che piace a ragazze di ogni stile.. Penso sempre che una modern Audrey potrebbe essere spesso vista in J.Crew nella sua vita di tutti i giorni, passeggiando per New York. Ah, e inoltre ha avuto luogo anche la presentazione della collezione di scarpe di Manolo Blahnik per J.Crew, classici plain e super chic nei toni sorbetto e in stampe floreali e astratte. Un’altra ragione per attendere con impazienza che la collezione esca!
