Spring 2013 with Morea Style

Tags

I had the pleasure to watch the Morea Style show at the recent Milan Fashion Week organised by Solo Evane.

Here is the description of Morea Style spoken by the show director and host Genevieve Kamala:
“Morea Style, on the grid for almost 6 years, is well known for the excellence of its designs, the elegance of forms and the incomparable quality and choice of colors.
Originality, quality and exclusivity are priorities for Morea, a woman with a very special skill in creating true fashion masterpieces.
Each season Morea combines the actual trend with the tastes and expectations of customers, and this contributes to the success of her style that is always  sophisticated and elegant and with that extra “touch” of sensuality present in every creation, this makes each garment perfect to the final  detail , so that every  woman desires it in her closet.
Morea, like the finest French couturiers, understands women’s need to feel sexy and their need to feel the contact of light sensual fabrics against their skins. She also recognizes that a woman needs different looks for different occasions, so her range is extremely varied.
Cocktail dresses, ball gowns and pant suits are always featured in her fashion creations, all carrying the same marking of sensual elegance and beauty. As you will see today, we will go across all different occasions, giving a new twist to the word urban or casual…
All the women of SL aim to own at least  one of  Morea Style  creations because  every single piece of Morea Style means  perfection, elegance, sensuality, charm and  always an incredible style and love for details.  This collection will put a spell on you and I am sure you will simply adore every single piece you are going to see today on our catwalk!”

I’ve been a great fan of Morea’s designs for many years, so I completely agree with Genevieve!Morea Style 1 Shena Neox

Something Studded

Tags

, , , , , , ,

“Punks seek to outrage others with the highly theatrical use of clothing, hairstyles, cosmetics, tattoos, jewellery and body modification. Early punk fashion adapted everyday objects for aesthetic effect: ripped clothing was held together by safety pins or wrapped with tape; ordinary clothing was customised by embellishing it with marker or adorning it with paint; a black bin liner became a dress, shirt or skirt; safety pins and razor blades were used as jewellery.”
