Spring/Summer 2006 - Paris Fashion Week
Alexander presented his Spring/Summer 2006 collection during Paris Fashion Week in October 2005. An outfit from the collection is shown on the left. It consists of grey cuffed shorts (so popular this season) with a matching jacket over a white blouse. The model is wearing gladiator sandals.
Alexander has changed from the designer who scared and shocked his audience. He sends out his models in orderly fashion, so that we can see the clothes he has designed. His black suits, beautifully tailored as always, have lost their exaggerated waists and jutting shoulder, they are now much more wearable. Spencer jackets with button-down lapels, short flippy skirts and shorts with a girl-rocker look about them, appeared. His evening gowns had the look of Greek goddesses. However a little of the old McQueen appeared in fantasy gowns with metalwork bodices, rather like eighties sci-fi TV programmes. Source

Desde pequena Nicole Abramoff Ostrovsky queria ser bailarina. E foi. A lembrança dos tempos de bailaria do corpo de baile do Teatro Municipal do Rio é uma eterna inspiração: Nicole desenha vestidos de seda com fitas de cetim ou veludo, blusas e casaquinhos de tule com bordados e charmosas túnicas de jérsei. Sempre ligada em moda, trabalhou como assistente de estilo da Andrea Saletto e depois na parte habillé da Daslu. Levou um tempo até encontrar costureiras e bordadeiras que dariam forma aos seus desenhos. Suas coleções transmitem a percepção de um elaborado e cuidadoso estilo, transformado ao final em feminilidade e beleza irresistíveis.

Conheça no site o Catálogo Primavera/Verão 2012. A praia carioca é a grande fonte inspiradora dos biquínis da Salinas. A marca surgiu em 1982, nas areias de Ipanema e se consagrou pelas criações confortáveis, com pitadas de humor e descontração. A Salinas é destaque no badalado catálogo da Victória’s Secret, está presente na sofisticada loja de departamentos Sacks, na Quinta Avenida, além de estampar diversas capas e editoriais de moda de revistas como a Sports Ilustrated e Vogue.

A marca, inaugurada em 2004, hoje, é uma das queridinhas entre os cariocas. A proposta é unir a irreverência e o despojamento do carioca em coleções que incluem roupas, acessórios e objetos, para eles, para elas e até para a casa, tendo como carro-chefe as t-shirts que consagraram a marca, com suas estampas sempre bem-humoradas. O fato de as peças fugirem do estilo surfwear e traduzirem um universo mais urbano fazem com que a loja tenha a cara de São Paulo.
Além das camisetas famosas por suas estampas bem-humoradas e os objetos divertidos, verdadeiros achadinhos em presente, um sucesso da loja é a linha infantil, com bodies e camisetinhas para bebês e crianças. Assim como para os adultos, as roupas para os pequenos, também, apresentam dizeres engraçados. Todas as criações são dos irmãos Alan e Renata Grimberg, pai e mãe corujíssimos e, talvez por isso, tenham tanta liberdade de criação para as roupinhas de bebês.

Richards. A preocupação não é ser moda. A marca está solidamente estabelecida como estilo. Já existe hoje este estilo Richards, com tudo o que a palavra simboliza. Richards é não estar sujeito a tendências, a um estar up to date. Richards significa saber, estar à vontade, confortável, cômodo, bem vestido. Não estar under, nem over. É um estilo de vida que corresponde ao modo de agir e pensar, a uma filosofia do estar, que define uma visão de mundo e de comportamento. Richards sintetiza, de modo claro, uma postura, maneira de ser, do mesmo modo que um olhar, às vezes, é esclarecedor. Para que definir Richards, se o melhor é ver, e então conhecer, ter consciência do que significa estilo?
