Line we love TALLULAH Fall 2011-2012 by COVHERlab

Designer Marco Grisolia studied the Artistic maturity at the Istituto Statale d'Arte of Cetraro (Cs),he finished two years of painting at Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera and did a course at Istituto Burgo .
Marco collaborated with style office Forall Group (for Pal Zileri), LAPS Group of Florence , Sartoria Mercalli of Rome, Maison Paro ,Designer freelance pr Betasix Records and made costume for Mario Mieli Homosexual Cultural Circle.
in 2010 he launched his own brand  COVHERlab by Marco Grisolia.

His latest collection was  TALLULAH Fall 2011-2012 ; A tale of volumes that emerge, as if from the earth, with epileptic shapes that bend the material in playful crumpled structures affixed to the dresses with a firm yet evolved simplicity in a natural and in-the-wild baroque. Agave and its ability to spread in sinuous and infectious masses, the photography of Frederick Fontenoy with its snagged, spectral, accelerated metamorphoses, the colors of Vilhelm Hammershoi and the turn of the century Japanese Proustism that sustain the entire collection that seems to live in an intense and all encompassing identification with the natural world made of archaic forms that are surprisingly contemporary.

The collection reveals an aptitude for immediate constructions, complex in its depth yet easy to understand and to wear, leaving uncovered a heart or a soft and hidden stomach, pluvial, that gathers and merges a whole series of indomitable suggestions, almost primordial, in an inspired modernity, conceptual never surgical. A quasi-literal exoticism, a bestiary of plants and animals written with fabric, evolved into Amazonian baroque-isms that finally settle down, at the zenith of their storytelling, by simply being worn.

Inspirational style - Teodora


Teodora poarta : bluza vintage, fusta La Chattery si accesorii Atelier Aiurea.

1. Care este stilul tau vestimentar?

N-as putea sa-mi definesc in termeni precisi stilul cu care ma identific. Pot spune ca stilul pe care il adoptam e doar o interfata a ceea ce vrem sa spunem lumii . Este ca un rol mut in care atitudinea, mixul de haine, dar si limbajul corporal decodifica mesajul pe care vrem sa-l transmitem. Un stil bine conturat vine ca un lucru firesc, nestudiat si neatins de tendinte sau de capriciile de moment. Eu sunt inca in cautarea firescului...

2. Ce te inspira?

Ma inspira foarte multe lucruri. De la un pasaj din cartile pe care le citesc pana la o conversatie romantica intre doi indragostiti. Cred foarte mult in frumusetea lucrurilor banale si in puterea lor de a naste idei si ganduri.

3. Care este piesa ta favorita din garderoba?

Piesele favorite din garderoba mea sunt cele care spun o poveste sau care "s-au nascut" intr-un context drag mie. Spre exemplu, perlele mamei sunt favoritele mele pentru ca au fost purtate si de bunica si imi place sa cred ca au "vazut" multe stari si emotii alaturi de purtatoarele lor.

4. Ce magazine si ce designeri preferi?

Imi plac foarte mult magazinele vintage din Paris sau buticurile chic din Marais. De cand am descoperit shoppingul on-line petrec din ce in ce mai putin timp in magazine, daca ma aflu in vreun mall aleg sa intru la Zara si H&M. Pentru restul imi fac o idee doar studiind vitrina. In schimb, in Bucuresti imi place sa intru in magazine care pastreaza ceva din vechiile magazine de dinainte de '89. Nu e vreo nostalgie post-comunista ci doar mi se pare fascinant cum de nu au fost inghitite de uniformizarea comertului actual.

In privinta designerilor, ma bucur ca au reinviat casele Vionnet si Castelbajac. Imi plac foarte mult creatiile lui Alber Elbaz pentru feminitatea pura din fiecare colectie, clasicii Valentino sau Giorgio Armani insa, in acelasi timp, imi plac minimalismul si liniile clare impuse de scoala belgiana in frunte cu Dries van Noten sau Maison Martin Margiela.

5. Care sunt tendintele tale preferate din noul sezon SS2011?

Anii '70 sunt foarte frumos reinterpetati sezonul acesta .Chiar daca elementele acestei decade ne-au fost sugerate subtil si in sezoanele anterioare prin palariile cu boruri largi sau pantalonii evazati, sezonul acesta parca acopera tot spectrul - de la disco fever pana la stilul college al anilor "70.

6. Ai un fashion icon preferat?

In acest moment o ador pe Taylor Tomasi Hill, style and accessories director pentru Marie Claire US. Cred ca are un stil foarte interesant de urmarit fara a miza pe acele obiecte statement pe care le vad la personaje de tipul Anna dello Russo.

7. Care crezi ca sunt locurile din Bucuresti unde se intalnesc cele mai fashionable persoane?

Targurile Absolutely Fabulous "produc" cele mai cool outfituri, dar daca zabovesti cateva minute in zona Universitatii sunt convinsa ca poti gasi oamenii demni de un street style cu pretentii.

8. In final spune-ne un truc vestimentar

Cel mai important lucru ar fi sa-ti cunoasti defectele si atuurile fizice si in consecinta sa te evaluezi corect si real. Sa tii de cont de tendinte, insa sa le treci prin filtrul propriu si mai important sa nu privesti moda ca pe un canon strict ci ca pe o joaca cu cateva reguli simplu de incalcat.

Line We Love Miryaki Fall 2011-2012



MIRYAKI was founded in 2009 with the vision of ​​two young designers: Mia Vilardo and Riccardo Polidoro ,Mia was born in Sicily studied in the Istituto Marangoni and she worked with Marc Jacobs. Riccardo Polidoro comes from Veneto and he attended Istituto Europeo di Design and he worked with Dolce&Gabbana .

Mia Vilardo and Riccardo Polidoro met by a chance, when they were both working as costume-makers for a well-known club in Milan. The feeling was immediate, so that, even before finishing their studies, they were already talking about collaborating together.Thanks to their history and their different past they created an alchemy of art and culture unique and very bold designs.

The Brand literally embodies the meeting between the North and the South of Italy that flows into a melodic symbiosis between the two creative souls.

Just one year on from their debut, the label achieved the first results. Miryaki won the Clam prize at Mittelmoda The Fashion Award, held in Gorizia in July 2010, and in September their collection was showcased at Milan's fashion week alongside with the designs of the other winners of the contest, at the Palazzo dei Giureconsulti, drawing the attention of the specialized press and international buyers.

Tailoring, sharpness and dream: these are the key words for Miryaki's creations, all rigorously handmade by a female team of Sicilian tailors, known and appreciated for their artisan work very close to traditional practise.
