The setting for the Bally presentation was a 1970’s New York apartment set. It was fitting because the collection was all about Retro, even the logo on the bags was from a past era. I would not say this was the brands strongest collection but it was fun.

We only briefly saw the Fauto Puglisi Spring Collection. Based on the nightlife of Miami where anything goes, the looks are loose, the colors and prints are conspicuous. Consisting of t-shirts, shorts, and jerseys the garments are overtly masculine in a low brow manly, manly, man Jersey way.
We could not resist taking pictures of other items from his collection at the Gio Moretti store in Milan.

AGL is a lesser known Milan based shoe brand but that does not mean it lacks the Milan sense of style. For their Fall 2017 collection, the brand mixed cloth and soft fabrics with detailed embroidery.
The first day of Berlin Fashion Week January kicked off. I decided to attend two fashion trade shows, Premium and Seek. Premium is more high end contemporary and ready to wear fashion while Seek and partner Bright features designers known for street and active wear.

Pedro Pedro

For his 2017 collection Pedro Pedro held a runway show during Milan Fashion Week. He gave the Black and Paper an interview after to describe the collection and his inspirations.
The opening pieces were breezing then moved to muted tones, why?
The theme was all about a David Lynch movie named “Dune”, and it’s located in a post apocalypse world dominated by a great desert, so that’s why it goes to sandy shades of beige and pastel colors.
Being from Portugal, how does this influence your outlook on clothing?
We are living in a Global Age where the information flow is the same for everybody, access to the same news and images at the same time. So maybe my approach to a particular theme is as particular as me being part of this country, Portuguese sensibility of style.

What was the design approach?
I think the theme asked for this kind of approach, usually I like to show a cooler, looser shape and this time I went further with adding asymmetrical details in a fluid and softer materials.
Soft feminine looks were central to the collections, do you feel woman are moving away from gender neutral looks?
I am big fan of mixing gender and I always have a masculine approach into my designs. Mostly there are some tailored coats, parkas and trousers that can be ambiguous.
There were no accessories this season, all was clean.
There were some styling effects with basic bags designed by me and a partnership with shoes manufactures, those were also designed by me.

Paris is the capitol of shopping so of course it would be home to the first department store, Le Bon Marche. Housed in a building from the 19th century that on the left bank near Blvd St. Germain, Le Bon Marche is the most boutique like Grand Magasin in the city showcasing established as well as new designers. For avid shoppers this place is inspiring with so much charm.
