PICHULIK AW14

My love with Pichulik developed somewhat two years ago when the mutual collaboration with fashion brand Lalesso created  a marriage between the Lalesso fabrics with the Pichulik ropes and accessories (see here) , this love if fueled with great admiration and African pride each season. The AW14 campaign lookbook was photographed by Danielle Klopper with amazing  styling by Leonie von Hase and modeled by Mignonne van Eeden.

 This collection is inspired by the photography of Helmut Newton and his intimate portraits of powerful women in their own personal spaces.  Jewellery is worn close to a woman’s skin, brushes her neck, clasps her earlobe. AW 2014 invites our brave lady on some close up encounters. With jewel tones and wooden parts, suede and agate stones and tassels, this collection skirts the glamour of 70s disco, and the soul of psychedelia. Kick those platforms off and dance on those carpeted floors and wooden-clad lounges till the dawn meets your cat-lined eyes.

Raf Simons x adidas Fall/Winter 2014

How amazing is the latest collaborative collection between designer RafSinons x adidas? The range composes of idiosyntric vibrant silhouettes on one foot and mininal tones that draw ifluences from the classic Stan Smith on ther other ( and by influences I mean the perforated 3 stripes have been replaced with the 'R') . The more high fashion part of the collaboration includes new seasonal colorways, camo with a bounce and what looked like moon boots, which I found hideous and did not include in this post (google them, I bet you'll agree) .

The Raf Simons for adidas A/W 2014 collection will soon be available at select retailers not sure about South African retailers though.
