// The Wooden Family by Diesel

Once upon a time, the most wanted shoes were made of crystal… Nowadays it has changed… Wooden shoes are hot, believe us!

Diesel's creative team mixes modern design and fun, organic and fantastic, to create "The Wooden Shoe", beautiful nature inspired sandals, made of wood and leather.

Besides being beautiful and unusual, they are very versatil; Wearing them with or without the leather bands surrounding the feet is up to you, depending on your style.All the shoes have leather handmade soles, colourful cuts (according to the SS08 collection) beautiful details (check out the leather layers on the back), and belong to "The Wooden Family", which also features wood oversized bracelets (in shape of balls and cubes) and "The Wooden Frame Bag", made of leather and metal.

// Tea Set Noir

England is the reign of tea, and, as we all must imagine, there are thousands of old tea sets forgotten in the charity markets and antique fairs, waiting to be (re)arranged. Fortunately, designers like Christine Misiak remember these precious antiques and put their effort on giving them a new life and a new face. Christine reconceptualizes old tea sets, making them modern again.

More than a recycling Project, Christine's collection brings together the best of old and modern world: she preserves traditional design elements and mixes them with contemporary art craft, creating unique and elegant pieces, in homage to the past and the present.

Storytailors opened the doors of their new house and showed to the public their new creations for the SS08.

// Storytaylors House
Through the Looking Glass is the new address of the fashion designers, an open door to what's beyond the image. Built in an old building which survived the eighteenth century earthquake, it is organized in three different spaces: in the ground floor you can find Street Couture collection, Narkë; going up to the mezzanine, there is the Atelier collection, the room of the private dreams, and further up, there's the secret room.

// The New Collections

// Kiss me Quick – Hype Couture

Besides being the name of traditional Portuguese cakes, " Kiss me Quick" is also the starting point for the new collection of Storytailors, conceived id collaboration with Portuguese handcraft artists and street artists, to recreate the Viana's handkerchiefs.
Made of silk, chiffon and taffeta beautiful dresses, this collection is full of handcrafted details and was developed in a pale of strong pink and green, caramel, red and bordeaux.

// Cupido e Cliché – Street Couture

Cupido e Cliché is, at the same time, a reaction and a development of the previous collection (AWo7-o8), Cheated Child.
50's inspired and very romantic, " Cupido e Cliché is a sweet collection, a candy you must eat fast"; vanilla white, rice powder pink, soft blue and raspberry red are the main tones of this natural fibre collection, full of hearts and little squares, love and optimism.

// Boutique Dior - Paris

In 1947, n. º30 of Montaigne Avenue became an emblematic place for the fashion world. Christian Dior was opening the "Boutique de Colifichets", where he presented his first collection, "New Look". Without knowing, Dior was changing, for good, the world of fashion and the concept of luxury and griffe.

To celebrate Dior's 60 anniversary, this boutique was refurnished. Architect Peter Marino gave it a new look (just like Dior did with high couture in '47), creating a symbioses between past and present.
If you are planning to go to Paris shortly, go and visit this intimate atmosphere boutique where you can not only see Dior's classical pieces, but also appreciate the artwork of some contemporary artists, such as van der Straeten and Aldo Chale.

// IN-VENTO by Kolovrat Concept

Lidija Kolovrat presented her "IN-VENTO" in 7th December, at Kolovrat Concept Store.

We were at the presentation and came back later to her atelier to photograph and understand IN VENTO's concept, bags thought to be an extension of the women's bodies, a second skin.

This new bag line explores Jeanne d'Arc theme, mixes sensuality and discipline, strength and elegance. It works squares and circles, opposite geometric shapes, to make the form redundant.

IN VENTO useful and versatile bags, made for contemporary women, are available in different sizes, patterns and textures. If you are not thinking in buying one, go see it then… Surprise yourselves!
