Ria Keburia






With a  look book that is like a magic trick, Ria Keburia's collection, photographed with the models skin blending into the walls makes them look as though parts are missing like they are the ladies sawn up on a magicians table. 
Combine that with the textures, silhouettes, drama and unique engineering of these garments and you end up with a very intriguing collection.

Robert Wun I




Robert Wun, is a London based designer originally from Hong Kong who graduated from London College of Fashion in 2012. His SS2014 collection 'E•den'  has a styling that is very much of a futuristic samurai.
Robert Wun was inspired by religion and the way it interprets the idea of mankind and souls for his new spring summer collection. "Eden" is comprised of four chapters; Ossos inspired by Capela dos Ossos, The Dark, The Lights and Frost. The designer was inspired by a book written by a Japanese scientist, 'The Miracle of Water' by Masaru Emoto and the idea that water can change responding to human emotions. Photography is by Michal Pudelka

Madame Peripetie


Madame Peripetie (Sylwana Zybura), 1979 lives and works in Germany though she is originally from Poland. Sylwana's images are surreal and fantastical, her work is a mixture of fashion photography and sculpture, using various fabrics and objects to achieve her end results. Sylwana is influenced by surrealism, dadaism, the new wave era of the 80's, the British post punk scene and the avant garde theater of Robert Wilson.
The blue of this bodice is so vivid and I love the textures.
