DESIGNER OF TODAY: ULYANNA SERGEENKO

DELICATE. It's the first thing what I think when I met a big woman. Ulyana Sergeenko. She is a Russian fashion desginer who didn't study fashion design academically (she has a degree in Philology), but her passion and delicate curisity she decided to inside in fashion world. 

Also she is married with a Russian insurance billionare who started her own Moscow-based fashion label. 

Last year in autum- winter season 2012 Ulyana designed her first fashion collection but it didn't have much succesful, this year being an important and popular stylish woman who share the Russian Stylish group with Anya Ziourova, Miroslava Duma, Elena Perminova and Vika Gazinskaya, she has being more famous and we hope to see her collection wearing for the fashion people.

I love her last Spring-Summer collection for this sooner season. I just can think in Scarlett O'Hara of the Gone With the Wind movie... A lot of velvet, silk and soft colors. Some touches of sexy transparent fabrics makes this so delicate and elegant.

DESIGNER OF TODAY: HAIDER ACKERMANN

I am here again! I am really sorry for to be out for a long time. My lasts tests at college, some meetings and also Xmas times… I haven’t had time to anything! I will try to post every day.  I was thinking to change the blog’s structure and I will try to do my best talking about more fashion, more fashion news and unknown subjects about fashion worlds, I think it’s a good idea and to start the New Year too.

I start this new beginning with a great man, I didn’t know anything about him and when I discovered him it was like ¡He is amazing! And he is South American too and that was perfect.

Haider Ackermann was born in Bogota, Colombia; he was adopted at the age of nine moths by a French family. He moved to Netherlands and took courses in fashion design at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwep. He formed part of the famous fashion design group “The Six of Antwep”.

He started to work as an assistant to the Belgian designer Wim Neels.

In 2001 Ackermann created his own label and presented his first women’s wear collection in March 2001 during Paris Fashion Week. in 2002 his next collection drew the attention of house Ruffo and he started to work with him. In 2005 he designed with the Belgian group BVBA 32 and set up his studio in Paris.

Ackermnna succeed Galliano at Dior, after declining the proposed succession of Martin Margiela. Some commentators called him a “new Yves Saint- Laurent”.

Ackermann’s style is full of contrast and blends dress codes. Some clothes are simple cuts and often asymmetric and sewn of different materials. Modern dynamic and urban with some touches of feminism, sophisticated and refined silhouettes.

I show you his last Ready-to-wear Spring-Summer 2013 fashion show in Paris. Check out his official page here.

Have a nice Xmas week,

Love

Simone
