Moda, Matteo Cambi firma le nuove collezioni di Intrepid. La nuova linea del brand Made in Parma esce a gennaio ’23

Con l'edizione numero 103 di Pitti Uomo, tantissime le novità del mondo della moda, che presenta un uomo contemporaneo e del futuro. L'evento sta già riscuotendo grande successo, tra ospiti e tante novità con un approccio sempre più verso la globalità e la fusione di discipline differenti. Matteo Cambi ha appena firmato le collezioni di Intrepid, nuovo brand caratterizzato da intraprendenza, audacia, dinamismo. Intrepid, il brand di moda Made in Parma di Francesca Gambarini, rilancia con importanti novità: le nuove collezioni primavera/estate uomo e donna sono finalmente in vendita nei negozi fisici e nello store online ufficiale del brand e sono firmate da Matteo Cambi. Un brand forte e contemporaneo, deciso e coraggioso per una collezione uomo e donna all day wear che rispecchi a pieno la libertà di chi la indossa.

Stile sofisticato e confortevole, con attitudine street couture. Design essenziale che attinge dal mondo sport/casual con personalizzazioni up to date. 

"Possiamo realizzare i nostri sogni. Tutto dipende da noi. Dagli affetti, dai luoghi, dagli oggetti che scegliamo. La vera forza è scegliere ciò che ci fa sentire bene" afferma l'imprenditore Matteo Cambi

Intrepid è stato creato poco prima della pandemia, l'ispirazione nasce dalla portaerei INTREPID.

Sono stato chiamato a firmare la paternità del brand e accettato anche perché nome e brand mi rispecchiano molto e parlano di New York, la città nella quale ho vissuto 2 anni e studiato, prima della nascita di Guru.

Sul concetto di resilienza ho costruito la seconda parte della mia vita; non ho fondato io Intrepid, ma ho accettato subito la collaborazione, firmando la collezione, che è partita con i capi per la donna , circa 20; poi è nata la limited edition per l'uomo-5 capi per l'estate 2023- che verrà consegnata tra poche settimane ed è caratterizzata da colori black and white, c'è poco colore. Arrivo dalla scuola degli anni 2000, dal denim, dal mondo del jeans.

La collezione uomo è quella che più mi rappresenta; è basica, ma ricercata nei tessuti e strizza l'occhio allo streetwear, ma con leggerezza.

La donna è volutamente ricercata, i volumi sono anche corti, le maniche larghe, senza trascurare il trend della fluidità della moda.

E' uno stile urban da indossare da mattina a sera, abbinando, per l'aperitivo o la cena, una giacca nera, su una t shirt black basica, ma con grande attenzione ai filati e alle tecniche di stampa. Intrepid è rigore, resilienza, intraprendenza, forza di volontà, meno pop, meno colore".

Da gennaio sono previsti diversi eventi e l'arrivo della collezione nei negozi italiani che rappresenteranno il brand a livello nazionale e on line che vendono nel mondo, ma non mancherà un party per il lancio della collezione P/E 2024 in occasione del Salone del Mobile a Milano.

Sailing Ice Jacket in summer version, the colour changes from lilac to violet. Stone Island S/S 1989

"The most vivid memory I have of my father is of him worked on the Ice Jacket. It was back in 1988 and in that period the idea of a fabric changing colours was comparable to something from science fiction. And for me, a mere child, it was pure magic. But he seemed to be as excited about it as I was: he took it to the beach and wore it in the sea to check how it reacted with water, temperature... He obviously thought it was great fun, and so did it." - Alessia Vignali, interview with Lorenzo Osti, "Beyond Sportswear", Sport/Street Collezioni, 2012

[perfettamentechic]

André Courrèges, nato in Francia il 9 marzo del ’23, è stato uno stilista francese. Si laurea in ingegneria civile. Partecipa alla seconda guerra mondiale come pilota di aerei. Tornato dalla guerra, comincia a progettare ponti, e come hobby gioca a rugby e fa scalate in montagna.

Courrèges a differenza di molti stilisti suoi contemporanei non studiò moda ma si laureò in ingegneria civile. Nel 1949 la passione per il design lo porta a farsi assumere come tagliatore dallo spagnolo Cristóbal Balenciaga, che ha l’atelier a Parigi. Nel 1963 apre un salone di alta moda, con la moglie Coqueline Barrière. Le prime presentazioni hanno subito riscosso il successo, ma il vero riconoscimento pubblico arriverà subito dopo l’arrivo dei piccoli stivali bianchi.

Nel 1965, la casa si trasferisce in 40 rue François 1er a Parigi, dove si trova ancora. Emmanuel Ungaro lavora con lui come assistente. Si fa apprezzare da personaggi celebri (per l’Italia, Gianni e Marella Agnelli), che apprezzano in lui la purezza delle linee e la semplicità dei tagli. “Un design tipicamente automobilistico” dirà qualche sarto. Coco Chanel affonda la lama, suggerendo

che Courrèges toglie sensualità alle donne, per infagottarle in bianchi capi in lana che starebbero meglio indosso alle bambinette di 2 o 3 anni.

In risposta Courrèges rispondeva

che la sua moda ringiovaniva le signore, senza farle ricorrere al bisturi.

Nel gennaio del 1965, la collezione Courrèges rivoluzionò la creazione con le sue linee geometriche, i suoi abiti “trapezio”, i suoi toni acidi, contribuendo al successo della nuovissima minigonna , tagliando “un palmo sopra il ginocchio”. Courrèges accorcia ulteriormente le lunghezze, gioca con materiali e forme. Questa presentazione è un manifesto per i giovani, che promuove un nuovo stile di vita.

Lo stile di Courrèges era considerato futuristico, perché disegnava abiti fatti con materiali all’epoca innovativi e inusuali, come il Pvc e la pelle in vernice. Sceglieva colori molto vivaci, come il rosso e l’arancione, e linee semplici e dritte che cambiarono la tradizionale visione della silhouette femminile, che prima esaltava le curve delle donne.

Il suo stile incontra il favore del pubblico, e per un decennio sarà uno dei capifila dell’alta moda francese. André Courrèges rende il bianco sacro, quindi moltiplica le variazioni di colore e nuovi materiali come il vinile o il plexi.

Courrèges fu innovativo anche nel modo in cui presentava le sue creazioni. All’epoca infatti gli stilisti lo facevano con defilé nei propri atelier, mentre Courrèges iniziò a servirsi di filmati girati in luoghi famosi di Parigi o in scenari ispirati a film, come “2001: Odissea nello Spazio”.

Tra i suoi clienti più famosi c’era Audrey Hepburn, per la quale Courrèges disegnò gli abiti del film Due per la strada, in cui la vestì con uno stile molto diverso da quello bon ton a cui tutti erano abituati.

Courrèges si ispirò spesso a figure extraterrestri e a paesaggi lunari, tanto che nel 1964 fece uscire la “Moon Girl Collection”, una collezione ispirata alla luna, con abiti e gonne a trapezio, giacchini squadrati e i famosi go-go boots, gli stivaletti bianchi dal tacco basso che da qualche anno sono tornati di moda, rilanciati da altri stilisti.

Il suo stile rappresentava il mito del futuro e della conquista dello spazio, per questo disegnava spesso sui vestiti lune e stelle stilizzate, oppure oblò che si aprivano sui mini abiti.

La giornalista di moda Alice Pfeiffer racconta in un articolo su Le Monde

i nuovi capi e accessori che Courrèges introdusse nel guardaroba femminile, a partire dalla minigonna: si racconta che venne inventata dalla stilista inglese Mary Quant ma che divenne famosa grazie a Courrèges che la introdusse nelle sfilate di haute couture.

Courrèges è anche l’inventore dei fuseaux, una via dimezzo tra i collant e i pantaloni, portati come una seconda pelle.

Nel 1965 lanciò le famose Lunettes Eskimo, occhiali da sole con lenti molto grandi e una fessura sottile al centro a ricordare una palpebra socchiusa.

Uno dei suoi capi più distintivi è la “petite robe blanche”, ovvero il mini abito bianco, che propose in molte collezioni e che divenne comunissimo tra le donne negli anni Settanta.

Dagli anni settanta firma anche occhiali, ombrelli, gioielli, profumi, vestiario per l’infanzia e vestiti da sposa.

Negli anni ’70, il marchio aveva 180 punti vendita. Il marchio ha lanciato il suo primo profumo Empreinte. Al momento diventerà uno dei tre profumi più venduti in Francia. La sua linea di abbigliamento sportivo Hyperbole è commercializzata in successione.

Appassionato di sport, Courrèges ha creato le dieci linee di abbigliamento ufficiali per lo staff delle Olimpiadi estive del 1972. Una collezione per uomo, con abiti larghi e flessibili, fu lanciata nel 1973 con il marchio Courrèges Homme. Un profumo chiamato FH77 è nato nel 1977. Courrèges aprì una boutique a New York, sulla 57th Street 28, poi commercializzò Eau de Courrèges, che sarebbe diventata una fragranza femminile di grande successo. Nel 1979, Courrèges si diversificò in numerosi prodotti e commercializzò una nuova fragranza per donna, America, seguita da In blue nel 1983. Nel 1981 fu venduta una tavola da windsurf, oltre a una gamma di abbigliamento isolante adatto per questo sport.

Nel 1983, il gruppo giapponese Itokin, uno dei due licenziatari del marchio Courrèges in Giappone, acquisto il 50% della maison appartenente a L’Oréal (nel 1964 aveva acquisito delle quote di Courrèges). La casa, che ha cambiato proprietà più volte, tornerà ad André e Coqueline pochi anni dopo.

Nel gennaio 1986, la società Courrèges ha commercializzato una linea Courrèges Men appositamente per il mercato americano. Il designer, che vuole dedicare più tempo al suo dipartimento di Courrèges Design, reclutò nel 1993 Jean-Charles de Castelbajac per disegnare, sotto il suo impulso, due collezioni visionari.

La fragranza Sweet è apparsa nel 1993, poi Niagara, per gli uomini due anni dopo. L’anno seguente, Generation ha prodotto un profumo per donna, seguito rapidamente dal 2020.

A metà degli anni 1990, il marchio, che sembra essere inattivo, è scomparso dai media per diversi anni. Fu acquistato dal un gruppo giapponese e Coqueline assunse la direzione artistica fino al 2000, mentre sua figlia Marie aprì un caffè, il Café Blanc proprio accanto alla boutique parigina.

Nel 1997, la maison assunse Paul Deneve come direttore generale per cinque anni e riorienta le varie attività di Courrèges.

Courrèges ha avuto un grande successo per circa venti anni prima di essere più discreta dagli anni ’80. Tre decenni dopo, è rinato grazie all’impulso di due imprenditori che hanno acquistato il marchio, ma anche il patrimonio culturale di esso.

Nel 2010 venne acquistata dai soci Jacques Bungert e Frédéric Torloting, copresidenti dell’agenzia pubblicitaria Young & Rubicam, che ora sono entrambi copresidenti dell’azienda.

Non conoscevamo questo ambiente, ma la moda, come l’ambiente da cui proveniamo, è un territorio creativo

Nel 2011, in occasione del 50 ° anniversario di Courrèges, hanno rilanciato il marchio, con ristampe di abiti trapezio, giacche in vinile, minigonne e borse colorate; oltre che un negozio online, il digitale è una parte importante della strategia aziendale. Il marchio ha archivi di 25.000 pezzi. Hanno cercato di rilanciare il marchio collaborando con il brand di accessori Eastpak, con l’azienda di acqua Evian e con quella di cosmetici Estée Lauder, attraverso collezioni disegnate da un team creativo interno alla maison.

Un nuovo profumo, Blanc de Courrèges, viene commercializzato e due vecchi, Eau de Courrèges ed Empreinte, vengono riproposti.

Nel 2013, i designer dell’azienda hanno firmato una capsule collection per il catalogo La Redoute e la sua collezione autunno-inverno 2013-2014.

Nel maggio 2015 Bungert e Torloting hanno affidato la direzione artistica al duo di stilisti Sebastien Meyer, per lo styling,  e Arnaud Vaillant, per lo spot; a settembre hanno presentato la loro prima collezione, quella per la primavera/estate 2016, caratterizzata da body attillati e giubbini in pelle che nei colori e nelle forme rievocavano lo stile di Courrèges.

Meyer e Vaillant avevano in precedenza fondato l’azienda Coperni, che hanno poi messo da parte per dedicarsi totalmente al nuovo lavoro. Jacques Bungert ha spiegato al giornale di moda Women’s Wear Daily di averli scelti perché

sono incredibilmente talentuosi. Hanno lanciato la propria azienda, il che significa che considerano sia gli aspetti creativi che quelli commerciali nelle cose che fanno, come la vestibilità di ciò che creano. Dal loro lavoro si vede che sono molto appassionati di tessuti e questo è importante per noi, perché da Courrèges il tessuto è il re.

La notte del 7 gennaio del 2016 muore lo stilista André Courrèges, aveva 92 anni ed era malato di Parkinson, come hanno scritto, in un comunicato stampa, la casa di moda Courrèges.

Nel 2017, Courrèges ha lanciato la fragranza Eau Hyper Fraiche, e nel 2018 Mini Jupe, un cenno alle origini del marchio.

Jacques Bungert e Frédéric Torloting hanno lasciato l’azienda all’inizio del 2018. Con una prima collezione fresca e contemporanea, il duo aveva sedotto il pubblico. Però, passato il primo entusiasmo, il marchio transalpino non è mai riuscito a decollare, in particolare all’estero, dove il suo nome è meno conosciuto. A settembre dello stesso anno, Artemis, la holding della famiglia Pinault, che già possedeva il 40% della casa francese Courrèges, assunse il controllo del 100% della maison Courrèges, che era in difficoltà finanziaria.

La Maison Courrèges annuncia la nomina di Yolanda Zobel come sua nuova direttrice artistica.

La stilista di origine tedesca per parte di padre (un designer di gioielli) e francese da parte di madre, specializzata nel prêt-à-porter donna, sarà operativa per la  collezione primavera-estate 2019. 

Gennaio 2020: Yolanda Zobel lascia la maison. Secondo una comunicazione ufficiale del brand del 3 gennaio 2020:

decisione comune

Tuttavia, arriva dopo alcune sfilate che non hanno ricevuto un’accoglienza buona, dove erano state presentate, nella Collezione primavera/estate 2020, un nuovo vinile a base di alghe; un materiale eco-responsabile che dovrebbe sostituire l’iconico materiale plastico di Courrèges.

Jorit: «La vera trasgressione della street art sta nel messaggio»

Il Murales di Jorit nella nuova boutique D'Aniello a Salerno

I suoi giganteschi murales, raffiguranti volti di personaggi della politica, della scienza e dello sport, sono apparsi sulle riviste di tutto il mondo. Ma il più celebre, in Italia, resta probabilmente quello che ritrae Ernesto Che Guevara, dipinto sulle facciate di due palazzi della periferia Est di Napoli, a San Giovanni a Teduccio, lo stesso quartiere nel quale aveva già realizzato un altro popolarissimo affresco dedicato a Diego Armando Maradona. Per il Che, rappresentato con due strisce rosse sulle guance (marchio di fabbrica dei suoi ritratti, in riferimento ai rituali africani di iniziazione), è stata a Napoli la stessa figlia Aleida Guevara, al fine ammirare l’opera e complimentarsi con lui. Ma Jorit Agoch, nome d’arte del 28enne Ciro Cerullo, di murales che hanno lasciato il segno ne ha realizzati tanti in questi anni e sta continuando a farlo, non solo nella sua città.

«Negli ultimi anni c’è stata una grande apertura nei confronti della street art. Anche per chi la esegue, oggi l’idea di “trasgressione” non sta più tanto nell’illegalità del gesto, compiuto di nascosto quale sorta di sfida, quanto nel messaggio che si desidera lasciare», precisa Jorit. «È diventato un fenomeno adulto e proprio per questo merita un’attenzione particolare sul fronte del messaggio. Nelle mie opere, il tema dominante ha sempre un legame con il lavoro e i diritti sociali; attraverso i murales cerco di portare avanti battaglie ben precise, anche a costo di correre dei rischi. Per fortuna, c’è sempre l’appoggio della gente, il sostegno popolare… Il punto è che c’è bisogno di usare questo mezzo espressivo per lasciare messaggi positivi, e non banalizzare la street art rendendola una sorta di “decorazione per palazzi”. Se un ragazzino vede cosa hai fatto e coglie un tuo messaggio che riflette una tematica sociale, vuol dire che stai usando un mezzo di comunicazione fortissimo».

L’ultimo lavoro firmato Jorit è una novità anche in termini di location: un’opera “indoor”, realizzata all’interno della nuova boutique D’Aniello, nel centro di Salerno. Inaugurato nei giorni scorsi in corso Vittorio Emanuele 78, l’innovativo showroom è frutto di un lavoro sinergico tra l’azienda e lo Studio di Architettura Baciocchi Associati: un ambiente dinamico e tecnologico che si estende su una superficie di 500mq, su due livelli, e prevede un allestimento integrato di collezioni uomo e donna. L’opera di street art realizzata da Jorit caratterizza la parete espositiva principale ed enfatizza la forte identità metropolitana del progetto.

Per questo quinto punto vendita D’Aniello, Jorit ha realizzato un dipinto su tela per 3 metri di larghezza e 1, 50 di altezza. Completato in una decina di giorni, raffigura uno sguardo femminile dentro al quale si riflettono le stelle: sono gli occhi di Valentina Tereškova, prima donna ad andare nello spazio, nel 1963. Il messaggio intrinseco è: «Soltanto quando uno Stato darà a tutti, ma proprio tutti la possibilità di esprimersi e di compiere un percorso, allora si potrà parlare di uguaglianza», spiega lo street artist. «Chiunque deve poter godere del diritto di scelta e possedere i mezzi per farlo».

L’ispirazione l’ha trovata in Russia, da dove è da poco rientrato dopo aver realizzato un affresco – il più grande al mondo – del cosmonauta sovietico Jurij Gagarin, un’opera imponente, alta 20 piani di un palazzo. Non per nulla, «Gagarin, primo uomo a volare nello spazio nel 1961, nonostante fosse figlio di un falegname e di una contadina, la sua occasione nella vita ha potuto averla». E ne ha saputo fare il capolavoro epocale che tutti conosciamo.

L'articolo Jorit: «La vera trasgressione della street art sta nel messaggio» sembra essere il primo su Glamour.it.

Shayne Oliver e Colmar

Cosa accomuna SHAYNE OLIVER e uno storico marchio come Colmar? L’autenticità, dice il designer. Che con un occhio all’archivio ha creato una collezione oversize e reversibile.

  Quando un’azienda italiana pioniera dell’abbigliamento sportivo invernale incontra un giovane designer statunitense dalla creatività dirompente, il risultato è di quelli che non ti aspetti. È andata così tra Colmar Originals e Shayne Oliver: l’impresa brianzola, fondata nel 1923 da Mario Colombo, ha alzato l’asticella affidando al designer trentenne la prima collezione di capispalla della nuova linea Colmar A.G.E. (Advanced Garment Exploration), dedicata alla ricerca e all’innovazione stilistica. Anche per Oliver è una prima volta: il co-fondatore di Hood By Air, dopo il rilancio di Helmut Lang e le capsule con Diesel Red Label e Longchamp, ha raccolto la sfida con una linea dai tratti sperimentali. «Sono partito dall’archivio, ispirandomi alle collezioni originali e mescolandole con la mia estetica e il mio linguaggio». Come a dire: le giacche sono sempre le stesse ma trasfigurate, e lui ha inventato un modo nuovo di indossarle.

Il suo universo creativo legato a street style e cultura giovanile è distante da quello di Colmar, emblema di sport, natura e abbigliamento tecnico. Cosa avete in comune? Lo skiwear e l’outwear sono sempre un punto di riferimento importante per il mio design. Ammiro Colmar perché è rimasta fedele alle proprie origini, senza farsi troppo inglobare dalle logiche della moda, e perché ha una padronanza ineguagliabile dello stile e della tecnologia dell’abbigliamento da sci. Ci accomuna l’autenticità. Sono riuscito a mettere molto del mio dna in questa collaborazione.

  Dal vostro incontro sono nati 11 modelli, tutti capi dalla forma destrutturata, oversize e unisex. Qual è la novità che più di ogni altra porta la sua firma? Osservando la fodera e i dettagli interni delle giacche ho pensato che mi sarebbe piaciuto indossarle al contrario: ho deciso così di creare una collezione tutta reversibile, in cui ogni elemento si può indossare da entrambi i lati. La doppia giacca è 100 per cento Shayne Oliver (molti modelli hanno due paia di maniche, sono bicolore, hanno un doppio cappuccio, zip e tasche sul davanti e sul retro, ndr). Con il mio design ho sempre cercato di creare delle illusioni ottiche e qui credo di aver centrato l’obiettivo.

Cosa ritroviamo, in questa collezione, del patrimonio storico di Colmar? Lavorare con Colmar mi ha aperto gli occhi sul modo in cui viene realizzato l’autentico abbigliamento da sci e sugli elementi indispensabili per ottenere dei capi tecnici. La sfida è stata mantenere l’equilibrio tra l’aspetto pratico e quello estetico e realizzare capi che si possano davvero indossare in montagna e in città. Per questo primo lancio abbiamo scelto di mantenere i materiali già utilizzati nelle precedenti collezioni. L’innovazione si trova soprattutto nelle forme e nei colori.

La palette cromatica spazia dal grigio al carbone, dal bordeaux al verde bosco, con tocchi di lime e rosa shocking. Colori inusuali nel suo design. Sono abituato a usare colori scuri, che trasmettono forza, ma in questo caso ho voluto creare qualcosa di più lieve e sofisticato. Per questo ho scelto delle tonalità che avessero un tocco femminile, in contrasto con i tipici toni dello streetwear (nero, bianco, rosso, blu) e più adatte alla vita all’aperto. La natura è qualcosa di cui tutti sentiamo la mancanza, cui tutti aspiriamo. Questa collezione permette di fuggire da quella costante sensazione di doversi vestire “da duro” nel contesto urbano, crea una maggiore vicinanza con l’elemento naturale.

Pensa di aver disegnato una collezione per tutti? Sì, il nostro vuole essere un outwear glamorous, da indossare in modo sia elegante sia sportivo. Penso che piacerà ai ragazzi abituati allo streetwear, che sono alla ricerca di un capo più esclusivo per aggiungere un tocco di novità al loro stile; come pure credo piaceranno al mondo del lusso, perché sono capi divertenti e si adattano bene anche a un look ricercato, mescolandosi con altri abiti firmati. Questo mix tra lusso e portabilità per me rappresenta il futuro della moda.

Alcuni modelli non potrebbero sembrare un po’ estremi? Vanno indossati per capirli e farli propri, provati con i tacchi, le sneakers. Serve un po’ di tempo, è questa la parte più difficile. Ma non vedo l’ora di spiegarlo alle persone, proseguendo la mia collaborazione con Colmar.

Milan’s fashion flies high with Emporio airport show and Robbie Williams

MILAN (Reuters) – Emporio Armani touched the sky with its spring summer 2019 collection by showcasing the fresh and airy looks on the runway of Milan’s Linate Airport and ending the night with a performance by British pop artist Robbie Williams.

Thousands of guests on Thursday had to check-in, pass security and be escorted by airport staff to reach a shiny black runway built on the airport’s tarmac, in the hottest ticket of Milan’s fashion week.

As the night fell on the show, planes landed in the background, some even parking close to the temporary fashion venue.

Williams wore a sparkling black tuxedo coat matched with a pleated skirt and black sneakers – “can you imagine Armani’s face when I emailed him what I wanted to wear?” the singer told the ecstatic crowd.

The artist entertained the cheering and dancing audience with his greatest hits, including his latest single “I Love My Life”, as well as George Michael’s “Freedom.” He dedicated Frank Sinatra’s “My Way” to 84-year-old Giorgio Armani, closing the song saying, “You did it your way” and inviting him on stage.

And the extensive Emporio collection that preceded the singer’s show, with hundreds of outfits for both men and women, indeed traveled through the iconic traits of the world-famous designer: easy fits as well as sophisticated looks, the use of different fabrics, both smooth nuances and bold colors, soft feminine cuts and rich details.

Accompanied by the notes of Louis Armstrong’s “What A Wonderful World,” a video with an airplane taking off and a bird’s eye view of Milan’s most famous landmarks set the scene for the show. A giant screen surmounting the square catwalk, lined with fluorescent blue lights, projected Emporio Armani adverts.

Male models, dressed like surfers and carrying their boards, opened the runway show for what was a 20-minute long spectacle of colors, fabrics, shapes and combinations for the new collection of Emporio, one of Giorgio Armani’s clothing lines.

Emporio, which last year absorbed the brands Armani Collezioni and part of Armani Jeans, last September had shun the Milan fashion week, showing its collection in London in the brand’s renovated Bond Street store.

Sports-inspired layered looks, with lightweight windbreakers and anoraks were alternated with casual looks with ankle-high trousers worn under comfortable cotton jumpers. Models carried light backpacks and wore glasses and hats with flat shoes or sneakers on their feet.

Soft hues were broken with black trousers matched with white men’s jackets and sailor-like models wearing blue trousers and wide light blue jumpers with “E” and “A” lettering on them opened the way to brighter colors.

Designs included denim overalls, pastel pink matched with lime green. Classic pinstriped blue suits for him were paired with brightly colored striped short dresses for her.

Deep plunge black dresses with blue fringes and flower embellishments were followed by sparkly green outfits.

In a merry-go-round of colors and shapes on the catwalk designs seamlessly turned from easy-going outfits to sequined evening wear dresses, in a breathtaking show that appeared like a trip through Armani’s design books over the years.

And like all the best trips, it ended with an airport shuttle bringing you back home.

“Have a wonderful night and keep flying with us”, read an Emporio Armani panel with an eagle logo at the exit of the airport.

Milan Fashion Week runs until Monday with runway shows from luxury group Tod’s, celebrity acclaimed Versace, Cavalli and Dolce & Gabbana still to show their collections in the next days.

The Best Discount Shopping Centers in Pennsylvania

“Looking For The Top Premium Outlet Centers in PA?”

Who doesn’t love a good bargain? Even if you don’t “love shopping” like the Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte, we’re sure you appreciate every opportunity to save some of your hard-earned cash. But with outlet stores in Pennsylvania, you can get more than just a bargain or two—they provide some of the best deals consistently.

It’s Morre Than Shopping- It’s An Experience

And for these outlet centers, shopping is more than just plastering the word “sale!” and hoping for the best. Shopping is all about the experience. It’s all about having a fun time with your family: eating together, shopping together, and enjoying each other’s company.

Younger Generations: Shifting Attitudes toward Retail Shopping?

You might think millennials and generation z won’t be interested in discount outlet stores—but that’s where you’re wrong. If you look closer, you’ll see that shopping trends are shifting because of these younger generations.

It is estimated that generation z will be responsible for $145 billion in direct spending by 2020. They’re not so glued to their screens after all: they’re not favoring online shopping, but rather taking an interest in retail. Rather, they use online shopping to check prices before going to the actual stores.

And these are the generations that are most interested in treating shopping as an experience. This is perhaps why gen z-ers are drawn more towards outlet malls than regular malls. They are motivated by a variety of sales and discounts, which they conveniently found online.

So what does this mean? It means that business is booming for outlet centers all over Pennsylvania—meaning now is the best time to pay them a visit and see what’s on offer. And it also means that you can take your whole family with you!

And Millennials and Gen Z’ers aren’t the only ones that are rediscovering the amazing experiences that coming to a physical place with family and friends to shop. Moms, dads, grandmas and grandpas are all finding that, while shopping online is a major convenience, you can have a much more enjoyable time spending time with your loved ones and getting your shopping done.

It’s really all about dictating the pace of the shopping. If you go in with a time-crunched schedule, it will make the experience that much less enjoyable. However if you have a few hours to enjoy walking around, and grab a bit to eat, then the shopping experience is much more enjoyable.

Finding The Best Shopping Centers Near Me

Now the tricky part is looking for the best outlet center near you: nobody has the time to go around comparing them with one another. Why waste time and money when we can just give the answers to you? Here we’re listing down some of the best discount outlet centers in Pennsylvania—many of which are near Lancaster.

Top 5 Best Discount Outlet Centers in Pennsylvania 1. The Shops @Rockvale

https://www.google.com/maps?cid=16083117838668229109

At the risk of being self promotional

-We’re starting this off with a particularly high note: The Shops @Rockvale is the premier place to find high-quality clothing, home décor, as well as great restaurants. With more than 80 outlet brands, this outlet center provides bigger bargains on many popular brands.

At The Shops @Rockvale, they offer discounts of 35 to 75 percent every day. Convenient if you’re not willing to wait for department stores and malls to have a sale. It’s conveniently placed on route 30 in Lancaster, PA, so you won’t pay sales tax on clothing and shoes.

If you’re on your way to popular attractions like Strasburg Railroad, Kitchen Kettle Village, the Rainbow Dinner Theatre, you can pay them a visit. It is just across the street from American Music Theater and down the street from Sight & Sound Theater.

If you’re looking for clothes, The Shops @Rockvale offers a selection including women’s clothing, men’s clothing, and children’s apparel. There are brands like Carter’s, Puma, Disney Store, Steel City Sports, Janie and Jack, Alfred Dunner, New York & Company, and many more.

And after shopping your family might want to stop for a while to re-energize: The Shops @Rockvale has restaurants that can offer a wide selection of food ranging from quick snacks to heavy meals: Burger King, Olive Garden, Subway, Ruby Tuesday, and more!

One reviewer praises The Shops @Rockvale saying, “I really love these outlets. The prices are great. Such a huge selection of stores. Plenty of free parking. There is a courtesy shuttle that takes you around the outlet.I really like shopping here. Will I be back? YUP!”

The Shops @Rockvale isn’t just your ordinary outlet center. It is the place to be.

2. Tanger Outlets Lancaster

Here’s another option if you’re in Lancaster and you enjoy fashionable savings: Tanger Outlets Lancaster. Sure, it has fewer stores, with just over 65, but it also boasts brand name stores like Polo Ralph Lauren, DKNY, Nike, Coach, Gap, Tommy Hilfiger, Reebok, Guess, and Banana Republic.

It is located at 311 Stanley K Tanger Blvd, Lancaster. To make the most out of your visit, you’ll want to pick up a coupon book or join TangerClub for additional savings.

“Although we only went to three stores our shopping experience was very good,” says one reviewer. “The staff in Clarks Shoes and Columbia were especially helpful. There is a discount book available at Customer Service with many store discounts, it had a cost of $5 but usually they are free with a coupon.”

It is described as “very clean and roomy,” with “lots of parking.”

But bear in mind, not all the reviews are as stellar: “we stopped here on our way through Lancaster. I have to say it was quite a disappointment. Many of the shops were no longer in operation and it seemed to be a bit of a ghost town.”

What this outlet store seems to lack is, well, more stores. But by filling up those empty spaces, Tanger Outlets Lancaster can definitely be among the top outlet stores in Lancaster, service-wise.

3. Ollie’s Bargain Outlet

Looking for a bargain? Another outlet center you might want to check out if you’re in Lancaster is Olle’s Bargain Outlet. Even the word “bargain” is on its name! It’s located at 2090 Lincoln Hwy E if you’re interested.

This one is fascinating because it doesn’t have a large “fanbase” in particular. They don’t have too many loyal customers. It has a weird reputation. But people find themselves going there very often anyway!

One reviewer says it best: “I’ve never been a fan of Ollie’s on the regular. Too many bad memories of my dad stocking up on strange and expired food from here may have traumatized me, but slowly I find myself coming here more often. This location is my favorite. I think they’re cleaner, less crowded, and have more room in their isles. I also tend to find more of what I’m looking for at this location vs. the others. What I have learned in my past few visits at both locations as this isn’t a bad store, and certainly one to add to my thrift rotation when I’m shopping.”

You might find the food, clothing, and beauty departments a little bit lacking. The service has been described as “almost non-existent.”

But if you want great deals on your rugs, your vinyl, your outdoor plastic grass, your hardwood flooring, and other similar items, you’ll find plenty of those here. Books and toys are abundant, and you’ll surely find something you’ll want to give to your kids. Is it too early to stock up on Christmas presents? No, it is not. It’s never too early to stock up on future gifts/supplies.

Customer service may be a bit lacking—but who can say no to that year-round sale?

4. The Crossings Premium Outlets

These last two entries are a bit more on the “honorable mentions” side of the story. These are still some of the best outlet centers in Pennsylvania, but they’re not in Lancaster per se. The Crossings Premium Outlets, for example, boasts quite an impressive collection of many fine brands. You and your family will surely enjoy your time here.

One reviewer says: “I really enjoy a day at Crossings Premium Outlets. My favorites are Coach, New York & Company, Michael Kors, Nike, Crocs just to name a few. The complex is rather large and has premium name brand shops for everyone’s taste. My recommendation is to go during the week day, where parking is available everywhere and it’s much less crowded. I also think the sales are better on the weekdays too. The weekend tends to be extremely crowded and parking sometimes is a struggle.”

“No restaurants located in center. There is a food court(which is okay). Auntie Ann’s & Dunkin’ Donuts is where I may grab something quick to hold me over.”

There are a few complaints, however: “went to check out this so-called premium outlets, parking was very limited, entire mall was more like a small strip mall and it was very old and dated! Major wear and tear on the outside of the buildings! Needs a major overhaul.”

People may have varying opinions on it, but at least it’s still worth checking out. Come and see it for yourself. The Crossings Premium Outlets is located at 1000 Premium Outlets Dr, Tannersville, PA.

5. Ross Park Mall

Another honorable mention is Ross Park Mall, located at 1000 Ross Park Mall Dr, Ross Township, PA. It’s an outlet center that features a multitude of high-end stores from which you can choose from. It has some very popular consumer-favorite brands like Louis Vuitton, Burberry, Apple, Armani Collezioni, Kate Spade, Macy’s, Crate & Barrel, and The Cheesecake Factory. It’s safe to say it has a bit of everything for everyone.

Reviewers praise it for not being “super busy” and for having decent stores. “The lines for Santa and the Easter Bunny have always been reasonable, as well. This mall is never too crowded and easy to get in and out of.”

This multi-level indoor mall has over 160 shops. “There are lots of nice specialty shops. It was a good place to stroll around one evening after dinner.”

“We enjoyed our experience at this mall. It was a clean, safe environment and had a good variety of stores so there was something to keep everyone happy. Lots of great little restaurants in the food court as well!”

Outlet stores are all the rage nowadays. And it helps that the younger generations are developing a taste for great bargains as well. Take your whole family and visit one of these fine outlet centers today!

Young designer takes brand to world stage Update: February, 19/2018 - 09:31 | Still bejeweled: Miss Universe Vietnam 2015 Phạm Hương performs on the catwalk in a silk dress embroidered with thousands of crystals from the Phương My – Pre-A-Couture Spring/Summer 2018 collection, shown at Arab Fashion Week in Dubai. Photo courtesy of PHUONG MY Viet Nam News Trần Phương My is fast establishing a reputation as an emerging international designer with luxury designs that are elegant, modern and feminine.   by Phương Mai Designer Phương My’s great inspiration for her brand PHUONG MY stems from the traditional characteristics of the Asian woman: feminine and delicate but bold as well. Known for their luxury materials, printed patterns and specific shapes, her designs are especially suited for women in Asia. “All of the fabrics I design are made overseas based on my pattern designs,” said the 30-year-old. The majority of fabrics are produced in Hong Kong, while the materials for eveningwear and runway dresses are imported from Milan and Paris. The combination of luxury materials, excellent craftsmanship and modern and chic silhouettes has made PHUONG MY popular in Europe, Asia, and, especially, the Middle East. In mid-November, My’s latest collection, the Pre-A-Couture Spring/Summer 2018,  inspired from falling flower petals, was introduced at the fifth Arab Fashion Week at the City Walk place in Dubai. Around 30 silk dresses in pink and white embroidered with crystals were worn by Miss Universe Vietnam 2015 Phạm Hương and international models on the catwalk. “This collection marks the five-year anniversary of PHUONG MY. It is an introduction to my new line: ready to wear couture,” said My, who is a graduate of the Academy of Art University in San Francisco. “Each dress was made very carefully,” she added. For the collection, My used fabrics made by famous textile factory overseas and thousands of sparkling crystals customised for PHUONG MY by Swarovski. Cosmopolitan: Phương My’s Spring/Summer 2017 collection appears in the 165th issue of Collezioni Haute Couture & Sposa, an Italian magazine featuring haute couture collections by international brands like Chanel, Ellie Saab and Giambattista Valli. Photo courtesy of PHUONG MY More than 70 artisans from famous fashion studios that make designs for international brands such as Ellie Saab took 500-700 hours to hand-embroider 10,000-40,000 crystals to each dress. Tùng Lê, public relations manager of the PHUONG MY brand, said: “The collection was welcomed by guests, celebrities and royal members attending the Arab fashion week.” “We also received praise via phone and email as well as good comments on Facebook,” he added. “The vision of PHUONG MY is to share the beauty of the modern Asian woman with the entire fashion world.” Rising star My began her design career after winning top prizes at two prestigious contests, Are You Runway Ready in New York City and the Discarded to Divine Project in San Francisco in 2010. She was later invited to take part in fashion events like Macy’s Fashion Night Out in San Francisco in the same year, Elle Vietnam 1-Year Anniversary Fashion Show and New York Fashion Week Event sponsored by Astonish magazine in 2011, and Harper’s Bazaar Vietnam 1-Year Anniversary Fashion Event in 2012. She has also worked as a stylist for key fashion magazines in Việt Nam such as Elle, Harper’s Bazaar and Vogue, and in different fields such as branding to prepare for her own business. In 2013, My returned to her hometown to launch her PHUONG MY brand. Her first collection, Spring/Summer 2013, featured dresses, shorts, shirts and jackets made of organza silk imported from Milan and Paris. These designs were displayed at her first flagship store on Lê Thánh Tôn Street in District 1 and received a warm welcome from customers. The success of the collection brought My an invitation to be the guest designer for the Bvlgari Store opening in Hà Nội in March 2013. At home and abroad, the designer has participated in many fashion events, including Việt Nam International Fashion Week, Mercedes Benz Asia Fashion Week in Malaysia, and Perth Fashion Festival in Australia. To expand the visibility of her brand, she has collaborated with dozens of boutiques stores in Europe and Middle East such as My Beautiful Dressing in Paris and NASS Boutique in Kuwait. Her career and designs are featured in American and European magazines like Club Magazine Venezuela, British Vogue and Vogue Italia. World famous: Young fashion designer Trần Phương My’s designs for the Asian woman have become known on the global fashion scene. Photo courtesy of PHUONG MY In 2015, My was included on the “30 Under 30” list by Forbes Vietnam magazine in recognition of her achievements in the fashion industry. “For my fashion company, designing takes only one per cent of the time, while the rest is for business, accounting, human resources management, imaging and branding,” she said. “But, my most wonderful moments are the time I spend for designing, because that is my passion,” she added. Each year, My works diligently to introduce seasonal collections. All of her collections have been shown in Paris and at local and international fashion events. In 2016, My made waves with her Spring/Summer 2017 collection titled "Pristine", which wrapped up the Việt Nam International Fashion Week Fall Winter 2016 in Hà Nội. The collection was inspired by Japanese culture. Its theme colours were white, red, grey, blue and turquoise which highlight the delicate beauty of women. The dresses in the collection were chosen by dozens of international celebrities to wear on the red carpet, including American actress Susan Kelechi Watson at the 49th Annual NAACP Image Awards in Los Angeles on January 15 and the American singer/songwriter Julia Michaels at the American Music Awards 2017 in November. The same designs were also chosen for a magazine photo shoot with American supermodel Angela Lindvall for the premiere issue of Gio magazine, published online at https://giojournal.com/ on January 31. My’s Spring/Summer 2017 collection was also published in the 165th issue of Collezioni Haute Couture & Sposa, an Italian magazine featuring haute couture collections by international brands like Chanel, Ellie Saab, and Giambattista Valli. Apart from seasonal collections, My has introduced limited collections on special occasions such as the Red Collection for Lunar New Year and the Rain Collection for the rainy season in tropical regions, which have been popular with clients. “This was influenced by my clients. They’re my ladies,” My said. “The most important thing in launching a brand is to learn who my ladies are, what they like and what they need in their lives.” My now has 30 stores in nearly 20 countries, including France, Italy, China, South Korea, Dubai, Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates. The Middle East is her major market, making up 70 per cent of sales. Her future plans are to expand her brand and open more stores “My success doesn’t come from doing something new, but learning about my weaknesses every day. My motto is to find ways to overcome them,” My said. “Continuing to practice and practice will bring you success.” She said that she was proud of her “amazing staff” who, for the last five years, have helped her build PHUONG MY into a successful and high-quality brand. MYMY brand Besides the PHUONG MY brand, designer My launched her second line MYMY to appeal to more clients in 2015 and opened her first MYMY store at the Takashimaya Shopping Centre in Singapore in July of that year.

All designs for MYMY are suited for travelling and all the fabrics, which do not need ironing, are made overseas. Each month, My offers 25-30 designs in dresses, blouses and jackets and ensures that each design is unique, from fabrics to cuts. With their luxury materials, chic silhouettes and reasonable prices, ranging from VNĐ2-5 million (US$88-220), MYMY has become more and more popular among young Vietnamese women. Đào Thị Bích Thủy, who works at a bank in Đồng Nai Province’s Biên Hòa City, said: “I love Phương My’s designs because of their elegant and feminine looks for  women.” The 31-year-old mother said she heard about the MYMY brand through Facebook and found that its designs were beautiful and luxurious, and not very expensive. “I believe young women are more than happy to pay for eye-catching pieces,” Thủy said. The Facebook page of MYMY, where My introduces new designs and finds new clients, has attracted nearly 40,000 likes. Clients can visit the six MYMY stores in HCM City and Hà Nội, and one in Singapore, which sell designs for women and children, and accessories. Designer My has introduced two special áo dài (Vietnamese traditional dress) designs for MYMY with a limited quantity at all her stores to celebrate the upcoming Lunar New Year. Elegant designs in red and turquoise with 3D details are expected to sell well for the traditional festival. VNS
