This season from Milan Fashion Week, a different angle, we are covering Lineapelle. The large trade fair on luxury leather production. The event is something, an education on how to produce opulent products.
Stay tuned for more.
It’s always a privilege to attend the Boucheron presentation in Paris during Couture Week. The luxury jewel brand’s media gathering in July served up dazzling beats of precious stone designs. In the Vendome head office, creative head Claire Choisne describe the pieces as influenced from her trip to Iceland. The island’s wondrous landscape shaped by water, ice, waves and volcanic terrain provided inspiration to the French native. Travel can be a story in different forms.
I have not forgotten Milan Fashion Week. I’m watching the new collections. Stay tuned for all the coverage.
I’ll give my opinion on fashion using this crisis to boast its “diversity” credentials. Not happening here! Let’s me keep it 100!
Stay Tuned for my views.
#Fashion brands & industry are using the #GeorgeFloydprotest to boast their #Diversity Public Relations credentials. Not so fast!

Olivier Rousteing is a one man force of fashion. Being the youngest and first person of color to head a major Paris label. He transformed the once staid house Balmain into a global phenomenal worn by “A list” celebrities.
The documentary “Wonderboy” explores his life in the fast lane.

A throwback video from the Ivanman Fashion Show at Berlin Fashion Week. Black and Paper was backstage, models getting ready, crew members preparing for the runway show. We turned our camera on a make up artist waiting to finish for a male model to ask him a question about his work.

Damir Doma
During Milan Fashion Week the Black and Paper visited the Damir Doma showroom for a look at the brands latest collection.
Mr. Doma stayed true to his brands philosophy with a mixture of knitwear and leather materials this season combined with rebel shapes. The Fall 2017 looks were dominated by rustic colors with in soft hues.
Cristiano Burani is a Milan based designer of head of his eponymous label. Known for his use of vibrant colors in his collections, Burani studied fashion design at New York City’s Parson. He has worked for Versace Jeans Couture before moving to Blumarine. His first collection debuted in 2010 in Milan with the support of Vogue Italia and Camera Nazionale della Mode Italiana.
Cristiano gave an interview to Black and Paper after his Spring/Summer 2017 collection fashion show.
Your collection went from dazzling stripes to a sophisticated suit, (Look 34) why?
My fashion show is about the expression of the same woman in different times of her life, from day wear to holiday to evening cocktail. I like the idea of being eclectic and switching from casual to “elegant”, always with cool attitude.
What inspired the collection’s theme?
The Collection is inspired by my love and sensibility for colors. There is a combination of sporty details together with feminine shapes layered with a lot of technology in the new pleated and over printed fabrics.
When a woman wears a look from this collection does she want to get noticed?
A woman wearing my collection doesn’t necessarily want to be noticed. She has consciously decided to wear unique and exclusive pieces entirely made in Italy, with a semi couture process. That is what makes all the looks so special.ter
What was the material used for looks 11 to 15?
The material used for the two plain outfits is viscose chenille. I like the idea of using leisure fabrics for a suit which are between smoking jacket looks and pajamas but with a sporty reference.
The oversize belts are a great detail, how did you develop those?
The oversized belts are another sport reference. They are entirely stitched by hands using grosgrain ribbons of various different widths.
Milan Fashion is timeless elegance based on a clean aesthetic.
