Manish Arora Collection S/S 2013

For Spring Summer 2013, Manish Arora goes back to his roots to pay a tribute to India. The country's rich artistic legacy of ornamentation continues to inspire the world, with its vibrant colours, decorative arts, intricate architecture and unique handicrafts. Indian jewelry remains the most prominent in the subcontinent's vast constellation of artisan traditions. Indian Jewelry provides insight into ancient Indian culture, and with his signature style, Manish has exhibited the legacy of ornamentation in India through this collection that take on both modern and traditional forms.

The collection is an impeccable blend of India's true essence and Manish's vision of experiments in contemporary art and fashion. He takes Inspiration from the myriad aesthetic layers of India- from its opulent embroideries to its intricate craftsmanship in architecture and ornamentation. He incorporates homage to nature often found in Indian jewelry.

Breaking new ground in the fashion world, Manish has reinterpreted traditional Indian silhouettes through a modern lens. The collection has a series of prints - a combination of Indian jewelry and ornate panthers, tigers and gazelles. The animal prints have geometric shapes and the jewelry prints have floral falls- another cutting edge design concept from Manish Arora. Animal prints have been developed with chip hand embroidery technique. The sequin textures are hand-embroidered with the use of enameled jewels, metals and crystals. Hand-embroidered Zardozi and applique work on the silhouettes make the garments look modern and elegant.
Gold, which has always been dominant in ornamentating the body in India, is employed as a bold accent on the pastel colored backgrounds of the textiles. This season, cotton fabric has been used extensively along with, silk crepes, georgette, chiffon and hand woven silk brocade from Varanasi (India).
The stunning range of traditional Indian costumes - kurtas, angrakhas, Rajasthani blouses, churidars and so/wars both add to the embellishment of the collection and honors Indian heritage.
This season, Manish in collaboration with Amrapali, one of the finest jewelry makers from India, introduces Manish Arora Amrapali collection of jewelries. These jewelries put forth the splendid Indian tradition with the contemporized flavor taking you deeper into the Indian heritage emphasizing on the everlasting beauty of nature and post culture exotism.
The jeans in the collection are designed in collaboration with Notify (Paris) with exclusively developed exquisite embroideries that use a range of techniques and colors.
The shoes are made in collaboration with Giuseppe Zanotti Design.

Lutz Huelle Collection S/S 2013

I was thinking of gestures, poise -how a simple tilt of the head, a flick of the shoulders, the way one leg advances to balance the body, hands in pockets, can transform the most mundane situation into one of grace and beauty. The staples of an everyday wardrobe, infused with a "couture like" spirit: lowering the neckline and raising the waist, turning embroidered crystals into graphic prints, elongating a baseball jacket with silk organza, and cutting a parka in fluid crocodile print georgette.
