Hi everyone!
Another Dreft Fashion Week started yesterday, and I'm quite satisfied with what we saw the first night. What I really like about this event, is that they bring us foreign designers, and also the atmosphere is so relaxed.
The Danish designer Barbara presented a very dark collection, full of androgynous and asymmetrical lines. This was one of my favorite collections last night, together with The Rodnik Band from London, and Leandro Cano from Madrid. The guys from The Rodnik Band always put a smile on our faces when they come here, because they're just so much fun and it looks like they really enjoy what they're doing. Their collection was full of different prints, like bananas and animals. Of course, the symbols of London were the main focus. Love it! A designer from Madrid, Leandro Cano, presented a collection which is focused on leather and knitwear. He often accentuates the hips, or the shoulders, which reminded me of McQueen.
And now the Croatian designers... Kristina Burja (Krie Design) presented a collection which I didn't like at all... The only thing I liked were the bags. Although I like fringes, they somehow didn't work very well in her collection. She also used feathers and studs, so I guess it was all a bit too much. The short dresses looked kind of cheap. Iggy Popvic's collection was casual, but since he uses materials like lace and silk, it looked a lot more expensive then just your everyday clothes. I liked the cropped brocade jackets. Aba Tomicic Drvar showed us a very sophisticated collection, full of transparent materials. The main colors were black, white and grey.
All in all, the first day was really great, I hope today will be equally successful.
