A selection of Koji's creations were also on display over the weekend and drew much fanfare with their intricate use of recycled materials and majestic yet still zen drama. The static exhibition showcased specially created works all in white from designers from Slovenia and the surrounding region. The simple yet challenging brief forced the designers to focus on the craft of their technique and selection of materials to convey their vision without the aid of colour or styling, which, in my opinion, resulted in a strong showing of Slovenian designers' at a technical and innovative level.
In terms of the live presentation, for me the standout presentations belonged to London-based Maja Mehle with her relaxed, contemporary boho-meets-minimalist tailored looks with deconstructed cream jackets, leather shorts and flower headpieces; Madame Demode and her assortment of neoprene band white constructed looks that were half kimono, half straight-jacket; and Ivan Rocco, who was extremely adept with print, colour and cut with impeccable attention to detail with an aesthetic that could give Balenciaga's Nicolas Ghesuiere a run for his money.
Like I said, the Slovenian fashion community may be small, but it packs more than enough creative and technical punch to continue in its development and carve itself a nice niche on the international fashion map. Category Travelogue Location Italy Tags.
The lowdown: When reading the bio of The Clothes Whisperer , one has to ask is there anything this "academic-turned-fashionista" can't do? Kristin Knox is a shopping obsessed student, stylist and author who is currently writing her second book, World Fashion , with the successful release of Alexander McQueen: Genius of a Generation already under her belt. In between all that, Knox travels the world and reports on all things fashion. Why we love it: Knox is ridiculously dedicated to her passion but she doesn't take it too seriously.
As she says herself, "fashion is all about self expression", which Knox makes clear throughout her blog. As well as in depth reports on the latest goings on, her collection of photos in The Whisperer's Scrapbook show that Knox is really just having fun as she goes about conquering the world of style. Look out for: WhisperLust ; a list of the latest must-have items that any keen shopper should keep an eye on and Butters , Knox's tiny dog that can often be spotted "tucked into her Louis Vuitton".
