毒品/MARY KATRANTZOU X ADIDAS FW2014

MARYK_ADIDAS_FW14

是的,我们的确是在等待了一段时间之后才发布了这条信息,因为我们想在发布之前亲身感觉一下实物。过去的几季的Adidas系列在质量上而言的确有些令人失望。这次的系列,我们可以坚定地说是诚意之作。用料非常实在,但凭感觉就是上乘质量。鞋带穿孔,复合尼龙,具备承受住剧烈运动的品质。我想我们见过不少Mary的图案,但是这些图案却充满了时髦与活力气息,有深度。新词涌现!鞋子带着有主题的图案,而服装则是带着内涵。没错,背景是空山基大师的杰作。

Yes we waited a while before posting this because we wanted to see and feel the pieces for ourselves. Last couple seasons some Adidas collections where quite a let down quality-wise. This collection we can safely say is the bonafide. The materials are substantial, they just feel of better quality. Perferations, weighted nylons, these are pretty ready for some rugged activities. I guess we’ve seen our fair share of Mary’s patterns but these are funky and sporty. Definitely digable. Word up! There are shoes that carry the patterned theme, but the clothing carries the weight. Yes the background is Hajime Sorayama, the master.

毒品/ETE! FW2014 AD CAMPAIGN

I.T.这一季真是卯足了劲。我们会给他们的各种宣传广告不少篇幅,因为的确是非常入眼。这里就是一个意外的惊喜。旗下品牌ETE!虽然我对该品牌不甚了解…很抱歉,他们是一个多品牌公司,感觉旗下似乎有100来个品牌!所以不能怪我!刚说到哪了?对了,这种查图式广告的画风真的特别有味道。 他们将插画与产品照片相结合也是相当微妙呢。我第一次被吸引是在街头看到过往的公交车广告。现在,它又出现在了“GAN”呢! (I.T.未提供插画家名字)

I.T. really ramped up the pressure this season. We have or will profile quite a few of their brand campaigns just cuz they bringin’ it that way. Here’s a pleasant surprise. Their brand Ete! which I don’t know much about…Sorry, their a multi brand that seems to carry 100 brands themselves! Be gone with your complaining ass! What was I going on about? Yeah, this illustrated stuff. Really like the flavor. Sublte how they combined it with the product shots. It first caught my eye on buses in the streets. Now its on the ‘GAN too! Represent.

毒品/FW2014 高级定制回顾/FW2014 COUTURE REVIEW

值得庆幸的是FW2014高级定制还算短暂。参与的品牌设计范围从巧思概念,到随机甚至丑陋。总体而言,令人大失所望。大多数品牌看起来或是平白无趣,或是半生不熟。同时,我们也注意到了最近许多日装/运动装的蠕变,令成衣收藏和高级女装之间的界限开始变得模糊。最值得瞩目的大约是 Victor & Rolf所打造的“穿着红毯”, Giambattista Valli也不错,而时装新手Hussein Chalayan则与Vionnet时装屋携手,杀出自己的一条血路。许多品牌的系列单品都超过50件以上,无意不在各位脑子画下一个巨大的问好,这有必要吗?以下是我们按字母顺序排列的视觉回顾。嗨呀!

Thankfully FW2014 Couture was brief. Of the brands that participated, the designs ranged from cleverly conceptual, to random and hideous. Overall a big disappointment. Most labels looked uninspired or half-cooked. We’ve also noticed a lot of daywear/sportswear creep in lately which is beginning to blur the lines between ready-to-wear collections and haute couture. A tip of the hat goes to Victor & Rolf for their cheeky execution of ‘wearing a red carpet’, Giambattista Valli did something, and Hussein Chalayan, couture newbie, popped his cherry with Vionnet. A lot of brands came with well over 50 pieces per collection, also composing the question in one’s mind, is it needed? See our visual review in alphabetical order below. Hiyah!
