NYFW – Ohne Titel

–
Last Monday, Ohne Titel held its show at Milk Studios.
Founded in 2006 by two former students of Parson’s School, the brand is becoming over the years more and more established in the US. Ohne Titel shoes are often represented in fashion stories. And judging by the front row gathered this season, the show was very expected.
The brand usually plays with architectural shapes and drapings, but this year low boots and knitwear were definitely the heart of the collection!

New York FW Part1
In New York, the Fashion world is in a state of alert : Fashion Week is taking place until the 17th of February ! The calendar is very thight with different levels of taste and audiences. In addition, to the very expected shows of Proenza Schouler, Rodarte or Phillip Lim, other very talented designers tried to become more established. Well-known in New York, they would like to play a bigger role outside the US.
Most of the collections presented here are often very casual chic, but still commercial that explains why the designers are so thriving.
The first trends that show up for the upcoming winter are fur, very strong prints, soft fabrics and also hoods for women and men.

Women are Heroes
Today we are not going to talk about famous Russian dolls, neither about Editor in Chief in vogue, nor about compulsive Clients of Haute Couture. Today we would like to honor the women who inspired the latest documentary of JR called “Women are Heroes”.

These women come from Rio shantytowns, from Phnom Penh in Cambodia, from Kibera in Kenya or from India. JR met them to collect their stories, their fights and their sufferings. He also photographed these women in order to display their large-framed portraits in unusual places : on the roofs of an African village, in the shantytowns or around Ile Saint Louis in Paris. This documentary is an hymn to women, to hope but also an incredible visual and emotional experience. Never mind if the documentary received scant critical acclaim, we liked it very much!
We also warmly recommend you the latest issue of the Art and Cinema Magazine “Trois Couleurs” dedicated to “Women are Heroes”.
