tailoring tales at lc:m

Posted by & filed under fashion.

True to London’s heritage, tailoring in all its various forms was honoured at London Collections: Men. First in line, Richard James’ collection was inspired by the intrepid British engineers who helped to build the Transandine railway from the Chilean Andes to Argentina at the end of the 19th Century. The granite, blue-grey and earth brown that formed the base of the collection’s palette reflected the Andean landscape, while accents of blood red, fuchsia, burnt yellow, teal and turquoise evoked the vivid costumes of the indigenous people. Tailoring was warm and textured in wool flannels, Saxonies and bouclés, while casual wear took a cue from British sporting heritage and the off-piste skiing that the engineers introduced to this part of the world. Ede & Ravenscroft, believed to be the oldest tailor in the world, presented a collection inspired by the grace and elegance of the Edwardian era, with structured pieces in soft, luxurious fabrics. Saturated hues of hunter green and burgundy were countered by subtle camel and grey. Each item was named after a town or village in Ireland, while the collection overall comprised of four stories: uniform, city gent, out of town and formal dress. Gieves & Hawkes presented an impressive… Read more »

london collections: men roundup

Posted by & filed under fashion.

London Collections: Men came to a close on a colour high. From the mountaineering theme at the Moschino show, to the graphic rubber silhouettes at KTZ, the concluding days of LC:M showcased expanded silhouettes. With a stellar cast of models, who, in their diversity, epitomised the wide spectrum of individuals that build up London’s fashion scene, the last days of LCM were as rich as they were visually enticing. James Long’s webbed, strapped, cinched and patched collection was a poetically modern show, with hints of contemporary baroque emphasised with lace pieces. Taking the utility from conventional pieces, such as bombers and hoodies, Long created a brilliantly dysfunctional collection that was an aesthetic stroke of genius. With illustrations by James Davison, a graphic touch was inserted, adding further depth to already brilliantly complex silhouettes. KTZ opened on a selection of tailored looks that, on first approach, seemed a fairly safe statement for the graphically bold house. Marjan Pejoski took inspiration from A Clockwork Orange, and true to the British emblem, hooded, cloaked figures slowly emerged, rigidly upright in neck-pieces. Signature monochrome prints paraded alongside incredible fur hood sculptures. From the pixelated prints, to the ornate fur patterns, this wonderfully rich black… Read more »

london conclusions | menswear opens the fashion month

Posted by & filed under fashion.

As Florence’s Pitti takes the relay from London in the fashion calendar, Schön! takes a moment to look back over the four days of London Collections: Men. With a newly expanded schedule, the London menswear scene proved, once again, that, while its heritage in the field of sartorial excellence is unfaltering, an emerging generation of designers is also making its mark on the world’s fashion system. From Savile Row to MAN, the showcased designs were as rich as they were varied. In true London form, the MAN showcase was rife with creative boundary-breaking, whether it be with a newcomer to the scene, Rory Parnell Mooney, or with the branded, logo and slogan heavy designs of Liam Hodges. Minimalist punk silhouettes – with volumes of cloth – had a slight Japanese feel in Rory Parnell Mooney’s collection, whilst Hodges paid tribute to the populations inhabiting London’s markets. More dark forms were seen at Todd Lynn, where a 1990s punk revival was staged, to the sounds of a sulphurous Slaves soundtrack. Bowie met the rebellious crunch of the Sex Pistols, with dark tailored looks seen striding a close quarter stage in Victoria House’s basement. Similarly sloganned pieces were seen at Christopher Shannon, where… Read more »

With Christmas on our doorstep, a close inspection of this season’s fragrant offerings uncovers a panoply of enthralling aromas. With photographer Ben Reeves, we unearth the mineral compositions of this end-of-year’s key fragrances, capturing the floral tones and odorous wooden bases in the reflective crystalline compositions of quartz, agate and celestite, designed by Rebecca Rose Carey. Playing on the organicity of the floral bouquets of Signorina, Reveal by Calvin Klein and Dahlia Divin, and exalting the rich woodiness of Euphoria Gold Men, Jimmy Choo MAN and Wild, we confront elements in this Schön! still-life. First of all, the signature scent by Salvatore Ferragamo takes us on an olfactive journey through the remote corners of a summer garden, with jasmine and rosy peony building up the heart of this feminine fragrance. Saccharine top notes of creamy panna cotta have us dreaming of a high-summer season. The sophisticated design of the bottle displays a grosgrain Vara ribbon, making Signorina a truly enchanting gift. Euphoria Gold Men is the latest addition to the vast and diverse array of Calvin Klein fragrances. This spicy composition will titillate your senses, with top notes of ginger and pepper, whilst a base of amber, patchouli and suede bring depth and a fervently masculine body to this captivating fragrance.

We first discovered Canadian designer Christopher Bates and his slick take on contemporary tailoring at Toronto Men’s Fashion Week in August. Since then, he’s gone on from strength to strength, with nominations for Canadian Menswear Designer of the Year from the Canadian Art & Fashion Awards and for a Notable Award, which recognises the best young professionals in the country, not to mention being named as one of Canada’s Top 100 Most Influential People. Schön! catches up with him as he takes on the menswear capital of Milan. Could you tell us a bit about your brand and your customer? Basically, I take classic menswear pieces and modernise them through fit, fabric, colours and – most importantly – clever details. My customer is 30-55 years old, style-savvy, cultured, affluent, with an appreciation for the finer things in life. He wants to be like James Bond. But you didn’t start off as a designer, did you? No. I did a Bachelor of Arts at the University of British Columbia and a management certificate in marketing communications at BCIT. Then I worked in marketing for five years for a boutique firm in Vancouver. I started in marketing because I was drawn to… Read more »

l’art du nu

Posted by & filed under culture.

Est-ce que tu aimes le sexe? Le sexe, je veux dire, l’activité physique… Every year, 2,500 pairs of tights, 500 litres of body paint and 300 rolls of “Rouge Crazy” lipstick are used. In 1951, a titillating, clandestine mélange of avant-garde female expressionism and art du nu was birthed behind plush velvet drapes. Situated on the Avenue George 5, Le Crazy Horse (commonly known as Le Crazy) was brought to life by ultra-modern artiste Alain Bernardin. The Frenchman’s obsession with effeminate curves and American nightclubs propelled him to imagine a universe where desire reigns and womanhood gleams from beaming, grandiose spotlights. Bernardin’s shapely dancers (who included his wife) performed arousing routines, contorting their bodies like sinuous watercolours as patterned illuminations and designs brushed against their seemingly bare bodies. The pioneering prince of male imagination was a stickler for perfection, he even chose the music and sketched the show’s costumes – but it was Bernardin’s illustrious collaborations with friends such as painter Pierre Restany and designer Paco Rabanne that surpassed sex and flirted with modernity. Attracting the likes of Salvador Dalì, Man Ray, and Andy Warhol, Le Crazy quickly shimmied its way to become the Studio 54 of Parisian burlesque. 63 years… Read more »

Interview | iamamiwhoami

With over more than 31 million views on YouTube, iamamiwhoami crescendoed into the sonic scene in 2009 with innovative short music films. Until 2012, iamamiwhoami worked namelessly to preserve the sacredness and focus of their work. Now known to the world, the electronic duo is composed of Swedish singer-songwriter Jonna Lee in collaboration with her long-time music producer Claes Björklund. Schön! speaks with Lee to discover more about the group’s third audiovisual album, BLUE, a sensatory treasure which Lee rightly describes as an “An emotional, expressive, and timeless album that is close to nature.” How does your audiovisual album BLUE compare to your last two albums? It’s different than the two previous series, “bounty” and “kin”, but mainly, it’s a development from them, as things have become more clear to me what we are doing now – from being an experimental, brief thing to a solid matter. This album series is more direct, it is brighter as a whole, although our undertone never is fully joyful. But I enjoy using contrasts. We wanted to create a timeless, epic album with songs to remember and we have done that. What was the creative process behind the album? How did BLUE come about? There was a pause when I had time to reflect on my journey as an artist within the project,… Read more »

Posted by & filed under fashion.

With the cold weather now upon us, dressing the part to ward off the wintry temperatures is crucial. Particularly so if it involves cycling. The Berlin-based collective Trafo Pop, a group of cyclists from different creative backgrounds, organises illuminated bike rides around the city, packaged up with bold and bright LEDs, neon lights and luminescent signs. With decked-out bicycles, the crew ventures out into the dark streets to bring some light to Berlin. Their custom-made light jackets are a statement in themselves. Cunningly combining technology with urban pieces, the Trafo Pop pieces are sure to be seen. The night rides are a tribute to wearable technology – and have certainly gained popular awareness in and around Berlin. In view of this unfaltering biking success, it’s with perfect timing that HEATTECH has arrived. In preparation for the upcoming cold weather of winter months, Trafo Pop has teamed up with UNIQLO to test-run their HEATTECH range. Showcasing the thermal wear out of the limits of winter sports, the avidly enthusiastic night rides team ward off the elements, taking to the streets in a wintry Berlin. The thermal wear developed by UNIQLO, which has at its base a technical material developed with leading… Read more »

Posted by & filed under culture, fashion.

This November, photography collective Heist is hosting its second exhibition of fine art photography. Appropriately titled The Road to Elysium, the show will feature artists from around the world, with pieces that encompass the idea of utopia and tackle social and political issues. Among these you will also find AES+F, a Russian based photo-conceptualist group who play with visual aesthetics so heavily that people have coined the term “animated sculptures” in relation to their work. Through photography, video art, animation and other theatrical mediums, their films take up themes based on a post-apocalyptic word, set in a distant future. The group took time to catch up with Schön! in this exclusive online interview, where they expand more on their part within the exhibition held at Heist, on their creative process and on upcoming projects. Your group was initially formed in 1987, and afterwards Vladimir Fridkes joined in 1995. How did you find each other? A and E are married, but have worked as separate artists and began working together only when S joined in 1987. F participated in our works as a photographer in 1995, which is when we decided to become AES+F. How did you decide to form an art collective?… Read more »

interview | erwin olaf

Posted by & filed under culture, fashion.

Award-winning and bestselling photographer Erwin Olaf has released a selection of his work, a haunting and visceral look at taboos, in his latest book Erwin Olaf: Volume II. Following the release of his debut monograph Erwin Olaf (2008), Olaf has built upon his highly polished and stylised imagery in his most recent work, resulting in a collection which is tangibly atmospheric – both seductive and unsettling in turns. Schön! speaks to the photographer about taboo, beauty and the experience of photography. What motivated you to publish a second book? What differentiates this text from its predecessor, Erwin Olaf? The difference with my second volume at Aperture is that it is more sinister than the first one. The mood of it is much darker. My work is usually a reflection of my feeling towards society, and what is going on right now in the world is rather dark. This volume is more about sorrow. How do you think that a photograph is best enjoyed; for example on a screen, at an exhibition, in a book, in a frame? I believe that the best medium to enjoy a photograph is within a book for its intimacy, and an exhibition for enjoying installations at… Read more »

With yuletide fast approaching, and the change of wardrobe that the end-of-year period beckons, Schön! plans ahead, taking a closer look at the Reiss Autumn/Winter ’14 Dressed To Kill collection.

UNIQLO HEATTECH takes to the streets with GRAFFITI LIFE

Posted by & filed under fashion.

Londoners will be familiar with the unpredictable and difficult weather that the British capital seems to serve unfalteringly. When it comes to leading a day-to-day job outdoors, being prepared for such volatility is no mean feat. With the change of season now upon us, and with temperatures plummeting by the day, dressing the part is crucial. Being prepared for a day outdoors is a task worthy of a bit of attention. One such a daily routine is that of a street artist. London-based Graffiti Life, a collective of artists who use the walls of London as their canvas, are exposed to the elements on a day-in, day-out basis. In light of this, the technology of thermal gear HEATTECH by UNIQLO provides the perfect solution to the challenges of winter.

interview | Björn Gericke at G-LAB

Posted by & filed under fashion.

It’s a wild, wild world out there when it comes to active wear. Considering the impenetrable mountain of waterproof coats, or the indecipherable technicality of outdoor gear, not getting lost in the abundance of brands and designs is a mean feat. One brand that stands out, however, is G-LAB. Founded by Björn Gericke in 2003, and based in Düsseldorf, the brand combines the functionality of outdoorwear with an unreservedly cool aesthetic. Initially set up as a design agency, G-LAB has evolved into becoming a unique brand, notably in terms of its use of design, technology and textile, filling a niche in urban wear that had been left unoccupied. When G-LAB established itself as a fully-fledged brand in 2007, Björn Gericke was keen to create something different. Before then, G-LAB had designed predominantly for clients in the world of motorcycling, namely for the likes of Harley Davidson and Scorpion. “Obviously, motorcycle apparel came to mind, because we had been doing this all the time, but the market is niche, and there’s not a lot of style in the market. The functional side is more important.” On the flip side of the coin was a wealth of fashionable jackets, which, however, remained… Read more »

colour control with ASOS and Pensacola

To enjoy the video, all you have to do is click on the different buttons within the video and watch the video adapt into your chosen colour.  We all know how music videos work. It’s easy enough to sit back and enjoy the YouTube video as it unravels before your eyes. Imagine a video where you take control of the video. Impossible? We think not! ASOS has partnered up with Pensacola and JUCE for an innovative take on both fashion films and online shopping, revolutionising the traditional concept of spectatorship in the process. The concept is simple: five colours, five parallel worlds, and endless possibilities in terms of combinations. With Colour Control, the viewer is in charge. THE HEAT, directed by visionary duo Pensacola, features Georgia, Chalin and Cherish of pop-tastic band JUCE, in a bold palette composed of five different hues. “Our idea was to create five different worlds, applying a different effect in each of them: forced perspective, floating, transparency, etc. This way, when you play with the 5 colours, there is also more than just colour changing.” The result is an interactive video, where the viewer changes the scene with a simple click. “We think it is a very… Read more »

portugal fashion flourishes

Posted by & filed under fashion.

October has particular significance for Portuguese designers, with SS15 collections being shown at ModaLisboa (which we reported on earlier this month), followed by PortugalFashion, which took place last week. Schön! returned to Lisbon and Porto to find out what’s new at the 35th edition of this unique event. Unlike ModaLisboa, PortugalFashion takes place in both Lisbon and Porto, with most of the shows in the latter. Another notable aspect is the use of beautiful, historical buildings in both cities, but this season, the organisers went a step further by adding several more venues to the list. The aim was to “achieve the magnificence, glamour and sophistication of the large international fashion events,” explains João Rafael Koehler, President of the event’s organisers, ANJE, “as well as strengthening the link between the event and the cities where it is located. We have designer fashion, industry commercial lines, young designers of great talent and the best shoes in the world. All this in grandiose buildings in a cosmopolitan environment.” Locations aside, PortugalFashion is really about promoting local talent to both national and global audiences. The event comprises of a main stage featuring the more established designers and Bloom, a catwalk showcasing the emerging… Read more »

With Life Swaps, a project which offers a traveller’s view on modern lifestyles, Timberland breaks down barriers between countries, proving just how cosmopolitan our lives have become. Bringing together four figures of creative industries from four different European cities, namely Barcelona, London, Milan and Berlin, #INMYELEMENT orchestrates life swaps over the space of a weekend. It all starts with a piece of paper and a list of things to do over three days in a specific city: the rest of the journey relies on the individual to explore the hidden realms of the city. First off in the series, industrial designer Marc Morro hails from Spain, and fills the shoes of Sam Smith, a writer based in London, for the space of a weekend.

While Frieze Art Week may be over and done with, there are other shows still happening in London, and the Pearl Lam exhibition at the Porsche Design flagship store is one of them. Curator and worldwide-renowned Chinese gallerist Pearl Lam, over the course of a prolific and diverse career, has brought many a western design artist to Shangai and has commissioned pieces which reflect their experience in Asia. The pop-up exhibition includes artists from Studio Swine, XYZ Design and Studio Reinier Bosch. Until November 7th, visitors of the Porsche Design store will have the chance to witness a glowing dressing table made out of bioresin and fake hair extensions by Studio Swine. Shining with bright red and browns, with natural materials that create an innovative layered texture, the piece reflects on the culture around China’s growing commerce in the industry of hair extensions. A set of mirrors and a Tornado coffee table are just a few of the pieces brought to London by Studio Reinier Bosch. Working with 3D softwares and new technologies, the artists weren’t easily stopped when the project of the tornado table was thought impossible. To “be as crazy as the city” was the target when representing Shanghai. The set of… Read more »

Arran Gregory and #ProjectWarehouse

Posted by & filed under fashion.

Next in line in Denim & Supply’s cool series of collaborations for #ProjectWarehouse, sculptor and illustrator Arran Gregory is the third participant to showcase his artistic talent in the creative marathon. After Avicii and Alexa Meade, who engaged with Denim & Supply fans worldwide with, respectively, a music video audition and a “live painting”, Arran Gregory will produce exclusive denim illustrations for #ProjectWarehouse. With a unique graphic style of geometric sketching at the heart of his work, Arran Gregory breaks down the two-dimensional limits of illustration through his sculptures. Taking inspiration from nature, his sculptures depict a wide variety of wildlife – his subjects being mainly wild animals – and he adds a kinetic element to his work through animation. A self-trained illustrator, Arran Gregory’s work showcases his fascination for line, shape and form. After studying at Chelsea College of Arts in London, he went on to create the 3-dimensional renditions of the geometric illustrations that had become his signature style. The mirror bear was the first of many mirrored creations. His studies in graphic design were fundamental in defining his pared-down, linear style.

the glenlivet releases the winchester collection

Posted by & filed under culture.

Schön! Magazine attended the exclusive launch of The Glenlivet’s The Winchester Collection, a series of single malts of unparalleled quality. Taking its name from current Master Distiller Alan Winchester, this exquisite collection of rare whiskies is anticipated to become one of the most sought after collections. The London-based meet and taste event introduced Vintage 1964, the first 50-year-old single malt scotch from The Winchester Collection. Just 100 bottles of this inaugural release will be made available around the world, with each priced in parity to $25,000. The very first bottle is going on sale at one of the world’s most prestigious retailers, Harrods, this October. An undisclosed number of further releases from The Winchester Collection will follow, with Vintage 1966 confirmed to be next in line. “This release marks a milestone for The Glenlivet,” Alan Winchester told Schön! “Casks of this age and quality are such a rare thing these days that I’m immensely proud to introduce the first of these rare vintages of preserved stocks from the distillery’s rich past.” Craftmanship being taken just as seriously, every element used to design the perfect vessel is hand-crafted – from hand-blown glass to the inclusion of precious materials. Acclaimed Scottish glass artists… Read more »

modalisboa | lisbon’s fashion legacy

Posted by & filed under fashion.

If you don’t think of Portugal as one of the fashion industry’s key players yet, we say think again. October shed some light on the creative and commercial potential of this Iberian land, bringing to attention ModaLisboa – the most important Portuguese fashion event, a project supported by Lisbon’s city council and ModaLisboa Association that brings together the national and international press, VIPs and fashion lovers. Aiming to promote creativity, not only in fashion, but also in adjacent areas, such as photography and set design, it takes place twice a year – March and October – and showcases the work of talented established and emerging Portuguese designers.  The 43rd edition of Lisbon Fashion Week revolved around legacy, a theme which explored the idea of reconstruction as something which doesn’t necessarily equate to oblivion, emphasizing the fact that the new doesn’t erase history. The events took place from the 10th to 13th of October, proudly presenting collections that anticipate the summer of 2015, new names in the fashion industry, pop-up stores of emergent Portuguese brands and an exhibition of fashion photography. Sangue Novo, the platform created by Lisbon Fashion Week in 2003 that aims to introduce upcoming national talents to an… Read more »

atelier scotch store launches

Posted by & filed under fashion.

Amsterdam-based brand Scotch & Soda opened its first store last week, on Heiligeweg, in the heart of the Dutch Capital. With the store, which will stock the tailored line Atelier Scotch, the house is expanding its horizons. Focused on contemporary yet decorative formal dressing, Atelier Scotch is a stylish collection defined by bold combinations, luxury, and a love for details. Scotch & Soda is led by an international team of professionals that warmly welcomed Schön! at the opening. The spectacular opening saw local and international press, as well as devotees of the brand, discover the refined and subtle interior of the new store. Presenting clothes bursting with unique mixtures of structures, styles and colours, that still stay subtle and elegant, it showed that this is a name to remember. Atelier Scotch has a serious tone to it, yet combines materials and fits that haven’t been seen before, resulting in a varied, distinctive and non-pretentious line. The team behind the collection was inspired by the world’s style capitals and launched a strong collection that plays with contradictions, but keeps it classy. It launched at Pitti Uomo in Florence in January 2014, targeted at the gentleman who is “cool, not stiff; comfortable, but… Read more »

interview | barbara bologna

Posted by & filed under fashion.

Before designing her own clothing and accessories line, Barbara Bologna was a sculptress and body art performer who graduated from Accademia delle Belle Arti in Milan. The Italian-born designer utilises fashion as an outlet to explore her own personal artistic freedom and create art stemming from her soul. We at Schön sit down with Bologna and discuss her spring/summer 2015 Collection, a line that stays true to Bologna’s DNA of operating outside the usual codes of fashion. Viewing the collection, there seems to be underlining tones of romanticism. To what extent have you experienced your depiction of ‘love’? For me, the collection this season has some personal romantic links, although for me love and romance have little connection to one another. Love is passion, and romance is the expression of passion. In my life, love is important because it’s a trust in some way. If I don’t feel passion in my work, then it’s impossible for me to do anything. Love is like a possession of things; it is for you and the connection you have with another, with yourself and what you surround yourself with. You described the white garments with blood splatters as representing “something that as humans… Read more »

Schön! speaks to David Becker, CEO of Zkipster, a company revolutionising the event industry’s door service, one glamorous event at a time. When a renowned brand like Armani decides to hold a lavish party, promising everything from glitz and glamour to those all-important celebrities, everyone wants to be on the guest list. The result, a flurry of commotion and frenzy as press and tricksters alike try their upmost to sneak in by taking advantage of the chaotic and often conflicting door service. Moreover, despite the event industry’s desire to attract Instagrams’s top starlets and socialites, the industry is surprisingly behind technological developments when it comes to event check ins.  By creating an app specifically for event check ins, tailored to the exact needs of event planners, David Becker and Daniel Dessauges, joint CEOs of Zkipster, have helped put the personal touch back into PR events. Acting as the first app to promise secure, real-time guest list management, the pair have come a long way since inspiration struck over six years ago whilst planning their own university alumni party in Zurich. “We experienced the same problem as all event planners do when trying to manage a large event,” explains Becker. “When a… Read more »

interview | carl thompson

In a world where fashion is fast and indiscreetly disposable, it’s always reassuring to find a haven of luxury and quality. And even more so when it’s accompanied by a modest price tag. Pin Collar Shirts is the online destination for men with an eye for the classic and crisp shirt;  much like the founder Carl Thompson himself, who began his entrepreneurial venture after realising that what our high streets were providing just wasn’t good enough. Schön! speaks to the man himself on bringing affordable and well-tailored formality to the wardrobes of the UK and beyond. You used to work in global commodities. From oil to fashion – they couldn’t be more opposite. What inspired the move? Firstly, it was a desire to work in fashion. I love wearing a really good suit, and a well-fitted, tailored shirt is an essential part of that.  I’ve always loved good tailoring, which, over the years, grew into a real passion. If I was going to leave a secure well-paid, rewarding job it had to be for something I was going to love. There’s also a history of tailoring in my family, so it’s been nice returning to something of a family trade…. Read more »

galeria melissa london opens

Posted by & filed under culture, fashion.

After São Paolo and New York, London is the latest capital to be graced with the plastic-fantastic presence of Brazil-based footwear company Melissa. As the newest Galeria Melissa opened yesterday, Schön! headed to the brand new space in Covent Garden to meet the minds behind world of Melissa. London represents an essential connection, not only because of the many collaborators of the brand, such as Kate Moss, Gareth Pugh and Vivienne Westwood, but also because of the unique relation that the British capital has with fashion. Paulo Pedó, brand director of Melissa, explains that Melissa is above all an everyday product, and takes it inspiration from the brave and daring fashion of the city streets, such as showcased by London’s population. As we are shown round the vast space on Covent Garden’s King Street, the attention to detail and incredible digital innovations jump up to greet the eye.  Edson Matsuo, creative director of the house, explained how the space, created by architect and interior designer Muti Randolph, reflects the design process behind the shoes. “It was a great experience to work with this type of concept, which involves digital art, because we use innovative technology to make the product.
