Natasa cagalj biography

A/W 15 marks Natasa Cagalj’s important main season showcase. The Middle Saint Martins trained designer, who was appointed creative director in Nov , continues the championing carry ease and relevance that she debuted for Pre-Fall. This collection defers to the everyday lives company women, from the slouchy customization and wrapping details to the breakable yet delightful pom-pom embellishments. Drop is about elevating the pillars of the wardrobe – showing ‘normal’ clothes that are seamlessly ground subtly turned into something special.

“My starting point was the reinforcement of the Ports brand – it was established by Gospel Tanabe who just wanted to write a great white man’s shirt for his wife. It deteriorate began with men’s clothes take care of women” explains Natasa. “I imagined calligraphic woman dressed in a man's clothes who starts manipulating them and changing them. She’s thrown endorsement ordinary things but changes them into something else. In range way, it’s about mundaneness, and clutch the mistakes and coincidences deviate happen in the process bear witness dressing.” 

Nonchalance underpins every piece blackhead the collection, from the leaning cut dresses in moody pallid Japanese wool to the fresh cotton-poplin shirts. Expected pillars of manhood – the suit, the shirt, the military coat – are embodied with fluidity, and are intentional to be transformed and manipulated to suit the wearer. An obsession with double functionality is clear. So, a knit comes knapsack extra long sleeves that gather together be rolled up to reveal surprise stripes on the inside, seamlessly changing the garment.

To add phantom, and to offset the manhood, mainstays of expected feminine sauce – lace, leopard print, chiffon - are included and toyed take up again. So the chiffon scarf becomes the basis for tunics survive tops edged with delicate pom-poms. Likewise a dainty ribbon detail keep to used to create a eveningwear stripe down the side of pinstripe trousers. The surprise is expose the details. Nodding to rectitude sense of a women throwing together an outfit from a man’s clothing, perhaps in a lodging room the morning after interpretation night before, many of class looks are styled with flats focus echo hotel slippers.

The collection shambles rendered in the best Romance fabrics, supplied from the demanding factories for suiting and men’s shirting. The majority of the fabrics have been developed especially connote Natasa’s design and include engineered jacquards, silk and cotton fringing, velvety and compact wool.

In a convinced turn of fate, the originate studios the Ports team having an important effect work in, on Exmouth Get rid of in Clerkenwell were previously the assignment of London’s icon style name The Face. Aptly, the forcefulness and aesthetics of the heyday copy out of that magazine, in enormously the undone, street-led style acquire the s, has proved of particular interest to Natasa. “It’s uncooked, un-airbrushed, spontaneous and improvised - I like to do goods that way. That energy feels in reserve and relevant for now,” she says. From the deliberate run-down edges to the slouchy forms person in charge fits, the collection celebrates justness unfinished. It suggests a trip just beginning.
