London Alternative Fashion Week - Cristiane Chaves

A dynamic, sophisticated and technologic collection of minimalist pieces with geometric.

This young fashion designer is born in Brazil but based in Milan. TEMPORARY LABEL is the name of her own brand new label. The concept is quite original: all the garments have a water soluble label because she didn't want to sign them with any name. For her the most important thing is to install a relationship between the garment and who wears it, and only the impressions originated from this link should remain.

Thus Seacyborgs is the name of Temporary Label's first collection (Falls/Winter 2009-2010). The inspiration refers to a fictitious scenery of a ship disappeared in the past that finally came alongside at the Far East. People on board are sensual women that developed their own sense of future. The collection’s purpose is to induce viewers’ imaginary to a technological/human/marinehybridization, giving life to the SEACYBORGS.

It is during its various travells in Asia that Christy Guillemot takes her main sources of inspiration: historical traditions, ethnic coloured costumes, majestic universe of the tales...

Netza Collection

From her past experience as a wardrobe tailor for the opera of Bastille, her creations are today linked with this imaginary universe and legendary characters. Her collection is characterized by simple and structured shapes fitting in harmony with comfortable materials.

Wool, polar and cotton give body to her very authentic collection, sometime pastel, sometimes colourful.

An easy and relaxed style, very feminin with a touch of originality and simplicity… I am fan of this small tops (tee-shirt, tunic or dress) made of cotton nicely decorated with a flower pin!
