Jamal Taslaq, AltaRomAltaModa July 2012, Rome


Hi everyone !

Here we go for another designer of the AltaRomAltaModa Fashion Events !

The Jamal Taslaq Fashion Show took place in a fully different environment this time, in the majestuous "Winter Garden" room of the Westin Excelsior in Rome, Via Venetto.


 


Designer background:

Jamal Taslaq was born in Palestine in 1970 and studied in Italy. He became famous in 2000 for his collections uniting the quality of the “Made in Italy” and the influence of the Mediterranean culture. During the past 12 years, he presented his collections across Europe, the Middle-East, the US and North Africa. He was for the first time on the agenda of the AltaRoma events in 2008.





For this Autumn/Winter 2013 collection, the designer was inspired by “The Fall” 
from Vincent Van Gogh, and created a range of evening dresses accordingly, playing with 
the lights and colours of Autumn.





      


The collection shows tones of golden browns, green, turquoise, black and white, most of them decorated with  embroidery for softer tones and a detailed finish.



       


  


   


Concerning the materials, he played with suede, silk, crepe georgette and taffeta for a luxury appearance of each dress, also enhanced by the lace and embroideries.

 

    


   


Jamal Taslaq also created innovative designs that highlight and advantage the shapes of women while creating a range of creative accessories assorted to the dresses, such as cardigans.




Finally, he finished in tradition by presenting a bridal design, a long dress decorated with soft feathers as a white snow that surrounds the bride and announces the coming winter.



   



My next report gets a start for the Milan Fashion Week with Fendi, so come back to check it out !

Atelier Persechino, AltaRomAltaModa July 2012, Rome

Hi everyone !

One of the last Fashion Shows I attended during AltaRomAltaModa in July 
was Atelier Persechino – the Designer presented the Autumn / Winter 2013 collection in the 
wonderful location of Santo Spirito in Sassia.



Designer background:

Atelier Persechino was founded in 1997, and in 2011 Sabrina Persechino transformed it into a proper company, which evolved in an environment influenced by art and architecture.
The aim of the brand is to create a link between fashion and architectural designs by highlighting the potential and know-how of the “Made in Italy” Label.



This collection was inspired by three Italian architects who marked the thirties and seventies in Italy: Luigi Moretti, Carlo Scarpa and Pier Luigi Nervi. 20 outfits reminded us of all the works completed by those three masters of Italian architecture

   


The structures created by Luigi Moretti inspired the creation of 
full-body empty lines - horizontal or vertical - along the clothes.

Concerning Carlo Scarpa, his work was incorporated in the designs by creating 
simple lines with decorative elements made of metal foil and mosaics.

Finally, Pier Luigi Nervi preferred materials like concrete that could give specific shapes – his work can be found again in the collars, corsets, and other elements created for this collection.

The whole clothes line is marked by geometric principles, and shows very classical 
colours like greys, black and white. All the materials chosen were natural fibers 
enhanced by elements in resin, foil and plastic.
