You know how in Spiderman the ordinary kid gets bitten by a radioactive spider and gets super powers? When I look at Chado Ralph Rucci’s pieces on the runway, I think maybe this was an ordinary clothing designer who got bitten by a radioactive modernist sculptor.

You know how in Spiderman the ordinary kid gets bitten by a radioactive spider and gets super powers? When I look at Chado Ralph Rucci’s pieces on the runway, I think maybe this was an ordinary clothing designer who got bitten by a radioactive modernist sculptor. There is no point in his shows where one is not thinking a superior artist has been at work. Continue reading “Chado Ralph Rucci Spring-Summer 2010 Collection”

Gottex is not new, but this season sees a new creative director at the helm of this global champ swimwear brand. The debut show put on by new designer Molly Grad was nothing short of brilliant. The high energy vibe, the sexy curvy models, and the “own it” suits made this one of the sexiest shows of the week.

On the last day of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in New York’s Bryant Park, there was a collective showcase runway show by some of the top Argentinian designers. Over the last few months I’ve been encouraging our modaCYCLE photographers to be a little more experimental in their approach to runway photography. At the end of the runway you have 400 photographers with the same few standard cameras and the same few standard lenses, all trying to get pretty much the same shot. And where is the fun in that?

I saw more confidence, stronger lines, a greter variety of print patterns, and a much more considered voice. There were more risks taken, and though the fingerprint of the what I saw before was still there, this was new, and there was obviously some editing that had gone on since she showed her first collection at Patricia Fields’ house last season.

I first met Gerlan Marcel at one of the trade shows last season. She was sitting at a table in the corridor outside Showroom Seven, surrounded by wildly colored garments with an odd texture. It turned out they were all printed denim. It was mostly printed denim jeans and jackets, some things that looked like sweat pants, but not a whole range really.

Models were staged as student and professorial types in an academic setting for the presentation of the Araks spring-summer 2010 collection. Most known for her luxurious lingerie line, Araks Yeramyan presented a collegiate-themed line of solid and printed separates. The Library of The General Society of Mechanics and Tradesmen acted as the cerebral landscape and central inspiration for these daywear spring looks.

Walking into the white studio space, I saw a lineup of frozen models held up by the strong cuts of Victor de Souza’s spring-summer 2010 collection. It is a sublime fusion of both the classical and the fantastical.

While many shows containing western elements may boil down to a show filled with just too whips, stirrup pants, and bow girls, Juan Carlos Obando knows how to work the style, taking in thoughts from sources disparate as Akira Kurosawa and Leone’s spaghetti dramas.

The Wild West is here! Beautiful dust-sprayed jackets and cotton fabrics, riding skirts, and hand made union gowns billowed down the runway as though it were some fashionable prairie. Each piece was thoughtfully created and wearable. While many shows containing western elements may boil down to a show filled with just too whips, stirrup pants, and bow girls, Juan Carlos Obando knows how to work the style, taking in thoughts from sources disparate as Akira Kurosawa and Leone’s spaghetti dramas.
