I love Winter! Crisp cold days. Snow. Clear skies. Rosy cheeks. Layers of cosy clothes.<br />
<br />
However, I am not loving this Winter. Damp days. Rain. Rain. More rain. Grey mornings. Grey afternoons. Grey skies. Grey faces hidden below dark umbrellas.<br />
<br />
I'm sure you'll agree, what we need in the UK right now is an injection of colour to help us through this unusually wet and colourless season. -and here it is. Courtesy of Max Jenny. <br />
<br />
Swedish/Danish designer Maxjenny Forslund, creates large scale, boldly coloured patterns to produce one-off pieces using rainproof and protective recycled fabric. Max Jenny collections include clothes, functional outerwear, hats, bags and umbrellas.<br />

I have had the pleasure of meeting Maxjenny, whose colourful, positive and exuberant personality is infectious. Her designs are a true reflection of her. <i>Maxjenny! pushes fashion for rainy days just a little bit further.</i>Re-Design for Lifehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10914213958512236482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1326289002194176740.post-50796753825038250542013-10-28T15:54:00.000-07:002013-10-28T15:54:08.130-07:00CAN light chandelier by Willem Heefer<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

Copenhagen based fashion school, Margrethe Skolen has a creative approach to design education. The school's strength is it's philosophy to challenge students to go beyond their design comfort zone, to re-think the use of materials, to create new silhouettes and colour combinations. <div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Margrethe Skolen's aim is to develop students' originality, individuality and innovative designs. All of which was evident in the school's off-schedule catwalk show at Copenhagen Fashion Week. With previous graduates including Susanne Rutzou, Sand, Bitte Kai Rand and Margit Brandt, I am sure this year's graduates are destined for great recognition on the international fashion scene.<div>

<br />
Designers' Nest Show and Award was created as an international platform to promote and expose the talent of up-and-coming Scandinavian design graduates. The Scandinavian students are given the opportunity to present their collections to international buyers, designers, media and trendsetters visiting CPH Vision fashion fair, held twice a year during Copenhagen Fashion Week. <br />
<br />
This season's award was presented to Mathilde Maalouf of Kolding School of Design. <br />
<br />
I love Maalouf's use of bold contrasting colour combined with minimal detail and off-the-body silhouettes. A creative, contemporary yet commercial collection.<br />

The judges awarded the 1st runner up place to Catherine Bjerre. My own favourite piece from this collection is the cut-about striped outfit, below centre.<br />

The 2nd runner up was Nilhan Johansen from Oslo National Academy of the Arts. A collection that cannot fail to make an impact. I love the strength of the monochromatic palette, the oversized slogans and clever play on the sweatshirt. Fabulous collection!<br />

Louise Gray the British designer who adds a tremendous sense of wit, colour and innovation to her collections, is to take a break from designing further collections for two seasons. The tough decision has been made as the result a tough economic climate.<br />
<br />
<br />
Louise Gray will continue to be involved in fashion by working on a consultancy basis for other designers and brands including TopShop.<br />
<br />
I do hope we will soon see Louise Gray's eponymous label back on the catwalk. Bringing with it her individual approach to women's fashion. Always with a great sense of fun.<br />

Stella McCartney is one of my favourite high profile designer brands. Each season, I yearn to own one of her exquisitely tailored jackets to wear as a treasured piece for years to come. One day...<br />
<br />
I also admire Stella McCartney for staying true to her ethics. As part of the Brand's ongoing collaboration with the International Trade Centre, a range of hand-made recycled Stella McCartney tote bags have been created in Kenya.<br />
<br />
<br />
The International Trade Centre provides work to disadvantaged communities in Africa. The aim of this collaboration with Stella McCartney, is to generate economic independence for the Kenyan artisans who have created the Noemi bags. Of the artisans questioned, 93% stated that they were now able to educate their children due to their earnings from the project.<br />
<br />
My tailored jacket can wait. This season, my Stella McCartney purchase has to be The Noemi Tote.<br />

<br />
Ada Zanditon's Spring Summer collection is inspired by the beauty, strength, elegance and sensual allure of the Tigress, an increasingly endangered animal.<br />
<br />
Whilst researching Tigers, Zanditon drew comparisons with the Tigress' behaviour - a deadly combination of intense allure, ferocity and confidence - to that of female characters in films such as Kill Bill, Thelma and Louise, Deathproof & Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! <br />
<br />
Taking this inspiration, Zandition has created a collection of elegant sculptural pieces to be worn with confidence and a touch of glamour. Signature looks include regal dresses, billowing separates and sharply tailored jackets.<br />

Its at this time of year - when I've often over eaten, over socialised and over dressed, over a number of weeks - that I feel the need to wrap and cocoon myself in gentle layers. To venture on long walks. To enjoy nature's winter silence.<br />

Readers of this blog will know that I have been a fan of Christopher Raeburn's work since seeing his collection of outwear and parkas in 2008, which was created from up-cycled army parachutes and military jackets. I have always admired his thoughtful creativity and meticulous attention to detail.<br />
<br />
But! Wow! His SS13 catwalk show - at London Fashion Week today - marks a transition for his work. Raeburn has created a sleek collection of wearable pieces with a sophisticated urban edge. He has managed to do this without losing his signature utilitarian style.<br />
<br />
Stand out pieces in the collection were iridescent nylon shirt dresses, lace patterned parkas and hooded bomber jackets, grosgrain taped seams and camouflage inspired prints. <br />

As London Fashion Week approaches, I have been checking out the New Generation designers who will be showing their Spring Summer '13 collections there at the end of next week.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Huishan Zhang, a Central St. Martins graduate, immediately captured my attention with his elegant and contemporary designs. Influenced by Chinese culture and tradition, Zhang creates elegant pieces with a modern twist by layering and fusing shapes, pattern and colour. The "<i>sexy and feminine</i>" cheongsam dress is re-created throughout Zhang's collections to create his signature style of "<i>Chinese tradition meets Western influence and modernity</i>"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Huishan Zhang is my Label of the Month. </div>

United by their passion for fashion and a relentless curiosity for everything that is arts and crafts, designers - and best friends - Llaria Tranfa and Rita Molina have created, Sofia Retro Bazaar. A brand to represent responsible fashion.<br />
<br />
The designers have created two collections incorporating re-used materials and hand-crafted techniques. All pieces are made in Italy with controlled production.<br />
<br />
Their jewellery collection - Plexy Couture - is a collection of limited edition modern pieces created from re-cycled plexiglass.<br />
<br />
Sofia Renewall is a distinctive collection of clothes, bags, lingerie and beachwear combining romance with a strong edge. Each unique piece is hand-made using carefully selected vintage scarves and precious fabrics including silk and organza. <br />

Each piece of jewellery is lovingly hand-made in the UK by Hazel Mathiot, a fine artist based in Wiltshire. Vintage rhinestones and English cut glass beads are used together with hand modelled polymer clay shapes, antiqued brass chains and up cycled vintage photographs to create one-of-a-kind and limited edition pieces.<br />

Jungeun Lee graduated from London's Royal College of Art in 2011 with an MA in Mixed Media/ Textiles. Through experimenting and researching unconventional methods of creating garments, Jungeun created the Nuue project.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Nuue, a Korean word that means cocoon, is a collection of zero-waste garments produced by wrapping and heating synthetic fibres around a form. The result is unexpected sculptural silhouettes that have a flexible texture. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Although this innovative process eliminates the wastage associated with traditional garment and textile production, it cannot be ignored that the materials that Jungeun uses for Nuue are petroleum based. That said, it does not take away from her creativity or the potential of her discovered technique. The results, of which, are unconventionally beautiful.</div>

I also want to share with you the work of Fabrica Social. Fabrica Social is a Mexican non-profit organisation, which works with co-operatives in artisan communities throughout Mexico. It's objective is to empower and innovate indigenous women through design and garment making skills.<br />
<br />
One of the co-operatives associated with Fabrica Social is The Dzitnup, which works with a group of Mayan women in Valladollid, Yucatan. Women in this area create the traditional "huipils", which are hand-crafted blouses that are embroidered with brightly coloured designs. The elaborate designs incorporate vibrant florals and geometric motifs together with symbols of fertility and beauty.<br />
<br />
Huipils are wearable art works, which represent the women's Mayan heritage.<br />
