2010年10月15日 A study of silhouette VII – Nina Ricci SS11

Ultra Femininity

As I was always interested in delicacy and beautiful details, I sketched the nina ricci collection ss11 for its breath taking beauty and femininity. For Peter Copping, femininity may mean a lot of ruffles, frills, gathered sheerness, all dipped in a palette that went from demure whites and creams to a build up of hot jewel tones that are also in keeping with the season.

The whole collection represented the lightness of fabric and, with a bit see-through of the underwear and detail design of the back, there were also some backless silhouette, suggested the overall emphasis was on a sense of ladylike glamour.

Peter Copping has been investigating the limitation of femininity power for the past few seasons., as I researched the previous collection, since he started to be the director of Nina Ricci. This time he used watercolour florals contrasting the sleek trenchcoats to approach this theme.

2010年10月12日 A study of silhouette V – simple sophistication

There is a continuity of simple feminine silhouettes going on the SS11 fashion weeks as I sketched and researched the catwalk shows, fitted jackets, knee-length skirt and slim waistline, from Donna Karen in NYC, Christopher Kane in London to Jil Sander in Milan.

However, despite the clean cuts and minimalism of silhouettes, these designers added other elements, the confidence of using stunning colours or the delicacy of fabrics, gave a sophisticated touch to these collections, pared a combination of high fashion and comfort, representing how modern women should look like.

2010年10月6日 A study of silhouette II – Pilotto’s woman.

different from the most others short length or hourglass silhouettes showed in LFW other, Australian designer Peter Pilotto examined their skill with draping, the fabric of those white layered dresses almost like liquid wrapping itself around the body. There was also greater emphasis on draping globally at this time around. Mark Jacobs did his retro of 70s in New York using joyful festive colous, and John Galiano also worked with the floating full-length and turn it into a fantasy.
