Spotlight - London Fashion Week - Talent Scout - Runway Collective

As many of you know it has been London fashion week and this year I managed to get a few invites to some of London new design talent.

Today I am sharing with you photos from ‘Runway Collective’ that showcased two new designers Nihan Buruk and Janucha.

Nihan Buruk

Nihan graduated in 2007 from Yeditepe University and looks to cement the questions drawn from within the dark side of the world in an avant-garde but rebellious style throughout his collections.

I love the powerful statement of masculine but yet feminine mixture of textures within this collection. The sharpness of tailored trousers teamed with leather biker jackets, basket ball jackets and oversized hood jackets with leather detailed panelling offers an edgy savvy-ness to any women’s wardrobe.

Janucha

Janucha is designed by fashion designer Jale Hurdogan, who named her brand after her nickname that her family liked to call her by. After much persuasion from her friends and family she launched her own line in 2009 after studying at ‘The School of the Art Institution of Chicago’ and gaining experience working for leading fashion brands in Turkey.

Janucha has used lots texture for her AW13 collection mixing chiffons, woollen fabrics and knits. When looking at her collection you can sense the 1920’s influence from the use of lace and art deco inspired panel detailing which I find an inspiriting era.

Below you can watch the film from the show.

My favourite collection is by Nilan as I love the mixture of power tailoring with the street edginess.

What do you think of Nihan and Janucha’s collections? Which is your favourite collection? I would love to hear your thoughts.

I hope you have enjoyed my post.

Spotlight - Copenhagen Fashion Week - Baum und Pferdgarten

Today I am looking at Baum und Pferdgarten who showed their AW13 collection at Copenhagen Fashion Week.

IMAGES VIA COPENHAGEN FASHION WEEK

Founded in 1999 by Rikke Baumgarten and Helle Hestehave, this designer duo wanted to create a fashion line that had an element of irony and quirkiness which has lead them to become well-known for their uncompromising approach to design, attention to detail and craftsmanship. Their approach to their designs, offers women a chance to express their individually by mixing classic styles with more avant-garde pieces.

IMAGES VIA COPENHAGEN FASHION WEEK

For the AW13 collection, Baum und Pferdgarten has drawn inspiration from the mod fashions of the 1960’s. Layering was a key statement of this collection as they layered brocaded dresses, knitwear and bomber jackets over high collared checked shirts. I love the vintage feel of this collection and the fabrics used are beautiful.
