Brand Crush - Dolce & Gabbana Molto Italiano at Milan Fashion Week SS12

Wed, 28 Sep 2011 13:22:00 GMT

One of our favourite labels available at Voi, Dolce & Gabbana, has presented a collection at Milan Fashion Week that was a celebration of everything from Italy's South! The runway, decked out with colourful festival lights, hosted a mass of designs that made the fashion crowd smile. The show was all about being Italian. Southern Italian. Opening the show were print stories of supersized vegetables and fruits. The produce garments came in the form of summer dresses with flared skirts, playsuits and midriffs with full skirt combinations (a must ensemble for the season). The collection then moved into Sophia Loren inspired lace work that was covered in same fabric lace floral appliqués. Lace was bravely mixed with perspex on hourglass dresses and coats, a experiment that paid-off tremendously. The final story tied in the carnival lights with a series of dresses, bodysuits and hot pants covered in rainbow coloured crystals. This collection is a positive step for the house who is merging their D&G label with Dolce & Gabbana as of next season. To get your Dolce & Gabbana fix run into Voi Sydney today. Salute!

Designers Going Dotty This Season? Spots are the New Black!

Thu, 01 Sep 2011 04:15:00 GMT

The recent Fall 2011 Collections from New York to Paris had one tying factor- Spots! The dotty trend has been championed by designers such as Marc Jacobs (left), Alber Ebaz at Lanvin (centre), Stefano Pilati at Yves Saint Laurent (right), Gucci, Stella McCartney and Dolce & Gabbana. Spots are a quick way to add fun to any outfit.

The beauty about spots is you can wear them any way you like. With a sense of humour like Marc Jacobs or in a more sensual way like Gucci and Stella McCartney in the images below.

Brand Crush: Balenciaga!

Mon, 22 Aug 2011 21:17:00 GMT

Voi has just unwrapped some modern designs from coveted French label, Balenciaga. The house's head designer , Nicholas Ghesquiere has turned the traditionally sophisticated label into a haute rock'n'roll statement, with his design genius. In his ten-year-plus reign at the house, he has been one of the designers responsible for making statement accessories a core focus in fashion today. His long collaboration with shoe designer Pierre Hardy has resulted in some of the most memorable shapes in modern fashion. Who could forget the 'lego-shoe'!

In the Balengiaga Fall 2011 campaign, featured here, we see how designer Nicolas Ghesquiere always has a knack for linking unusual in fashion today and visual elements. In the campaign, shot by Steven Meisel, models Julia Nobis, Liya Kebede, Liisa Winkler, Milou Van Groesen, Juliane Gruner, and Carla Gebhart strut their stuff in a gothic Harlem church, forming tableaux of movement akin to a classical painting. These scenes are juxtaposed with the clinical lines of a tiled space – a complete opposite to the church setting yet somehow the two make perfect sense together.

With the latest arrivals at Voi Sydney, we can identify his knack for combining unusual elements. Like Balenciaga pants printed with wood and hexangonal bee-hive mini skirts (featured below). One this is for sure our Balenciaga arrivals won't last long - See you in store!

Pal Zileri - luxury the old fashioned way

Sun, 19 Sep 2010 00:26:00 GMT

Established in 1970 by a group of businessmen called Gruppo Forall, the Pal Zileri vision has always been about a fusion of tradition and quality. The company’s aim is to provide elegant, quality suits that are handmade using traditional techniques by a small, loyal team. They even source their own materials- mostly wool, cashmere, vicuna and guanaco.

Lunchtime at the Pal Zileri factory, with the table headed by Mr Barizza- one of the founders of Pal Zileri

In order to cater to a large number of people, Pal Zileri has refined the label into four ranges- Pal Zileri (or white label) which makes suits, and under suit garments; LAB the casual, more edgy line; Sartoriale, for special occasion suits and finally, Abito Privato, the exclusive made to measure line, where clients choose the material, buttons, thread and cut. Abito Privato is one of the few Italian clothing companies that still has a made to measure service.

Chanel's Prowess, Fall 2010

Thu, 08 Jul 2010 06:18:00 GMT

A few days ago, Chanel showed its Fall 2010 Haute Couture collection at Paris. You can watch the full show in the video below -

Featuring a gigantic gold lion as the fashion show's centrepiece, Lagerfeld paid tribute to Chanel's late founder, who was born a Leo. In contrast to their Spring 2010 Haute Couture collection, richer shades of red, brown and navy were used, creating an almost dignified air about the models. Everything about this collection commanded attention, from the way Chanel's garments played with proportion to the confident way that their models mastered the unconventional runway. Garments elongated the silhouettes of the models' bodies, creating the illusion of their towering over onlookers, even more-so as the runway's amphitheatre-like setup exaggerated the theatrics and audience's experience show. Details invaded garments, from adding hand-made flowers to skirts to surrounding higher necklines with richer beaded embellishment. Moreover, the transition from the more serious maroons and blacks of the collection through to even more intense golds and blues seemed to drawn upon the very valuable lapis lazuli pigments that were often used to paint the very upper echelons of society and even religious paintings themselves. As the collection drew to a close with a strikingly blue ensemble, Chanel's regal chapter of the collection ended with one final reminder of its inspiration, being the Leo-born founder.

Miu Miu & their FW10/11 Campaign

Tue, 29 Jun 2010 06:52:00 GMT

I don’t know about you but I think Miu Miu is one of those few brands that can pull off a playful yet provocative image. As demonstrated by their latest collection, they’ve developed a reputation for beautiful clothes that at first glances could almost be labeled as being quite playfully young and innocent. However, as their collections progress, certain details such as prints, cuts and even plunging necklines prove the label as being one for the confident or perhaps those with a more daring stylistic prowess.

Headed by Miuccia Prada (yes, the designer that’s in charge of Prada), Miu Miu continues to reinforce its playful style with cute quirks and unconventional variations on classic cuts. In their FW10/11 collection they showed gorgeous dresses, some of which had plunging necklines and cutouts that often exposed their ribs, as well as more innocent pieces with chin-high collars and rosette details.

Recently we’ve also received a first look at Miu Miu’s Fall/Winter 2010-11 Ad Campaign, so they’ve been included for your perusal.

Images: TFS

Right now we have some newly-arrived Miu Miu pieces in-store, and in particular, some gorgeous bags. If you’re planning on getting your freshly manicured hands on these beautiful pieces you’d better be fast, because they will sell quickly!

John Galliano, Fashion Extraordinaire

Wed, 02 Jun 2010 07:39:00 GMT

Ever since graduating from the prestigious Central Saint Martins with his collection “Les Incroyables” in 1984, John Galliano has made himself known for his theatrics, construction technique and extravagant creativity, as projected in his couture work. Currently, John Galliano produces seventeen collections collectively per year for both Christian Dior and a label under his own name. His own label currently carries separate lines for menswear and women’s clothing.

John Galliano, the label, was established in 1985, and now regularly shows at Paris Fashion Week. Although Galliano did show menswear on the catwalk for his 1984 graduation collection and later in 1986, Galliano’s menswear was not launched until 2003.

Characteristic to his work, Galliano often draws his inspiration from a historical/cultural figure, identity or period. For example, his Fall/Winter 2009-2010 menswear collection cited Rembrandt (also known as the Hellfire Club, where “persons of quality” who wished to take part in immoral acts supposedly met) as inspiration.

John Galliano pieces are now available at Voi, including menswear.
