IOANA CIOLACU EXPERIENCE FROM BERLIN FASHION WEEK - BACKSTAGE+RUNWAY

Today I need to share an unpublished post with you. I don't know how I forgot to hit the publish button on this, especially because it's one of my favourite. It's about a very special designer, a designer I have been following and supporting since her beginning as a nominee for Designer of Tomorrow Award. Ioana Ciolacu won as deserved and has since come a long way. She returned to Berlin Fashion Week every time following her win as DfT and I visited every show. Her designs and fashion inspire me and I love following her and seeing how each season evolves. The Ioana Ciolacu show was one of my favorite experiences during fashion week. I visited her backstage with Phillip, talked to her as the tension minutes to the show built up. I took a closer look at the pieces that were ready to hit the runway just minutes after and watched as the make up artists created her runway makeup looks and got the models dressed and ready.
I watched the show from the runway as Phillip stayed backstage and experienced the entire spectacle from behind closed doors. He captured all the special moments for me, as I watched my favorite looks walk the runway. Enjoy the post! I love all the images!
Fashion week is coming up again next week and in honour of it returning I'm throwing it way back to last season. Let the rumble begin..

FYODOR GOLAN - NEON EXPLOSION

BERLIN FASHION WEEK JULY '15

Lost in my archives I found these images of the Fyodor Golan show and my backstage experience I shared with Eileena. It's pretty much how we met and ended up becoming friends and filming a youtube video together. I was part the youtube loves fashion project, and since my main bae Joeva was down with the flue I offered to take her along.
I love the images and I can't believe their nearly got lost on my hard drive and flickr album. Unretouched, Unpublished, Unseen.

Next week is Berlin Fashion Week and I was pretty sure I was simply going to attend the Gigi Hadid Maybelline Show and Dimitri (must every year!) and go on with uni life. But in true DJ Khaled Snapchat fashion, let's be honest a big fat "You played yourself." is on order.
Of course I'll be running from A to Z next week and I'm a little over excited because this time I'll be working with an new personal photographer, a young talent, and we'll be creating content together.

I still pretty much remember the Fyodor Golan show clearly. Mainly because it was odd in all aspects. But the good kind of odd.
Thank you again Sane Communications for the really nice welcome from the first minute and making the backstage experience and the show happen so pleasantly.
I owe you these pictures.
And I owe Fyodor Golan sharing these images with you all and the net, because although this might not be my style at all (You can give me the white dress though! I'll wear it any day), I still remember the exact feeling I had when watching it. Seated in the second row I had the perfect view, it felt so close and the best thing above all: no heads to ruin my pictures. The music and use of lightening was spacey and all part of the show. Makeup just as bold as the neon color palette: bright green mascara and nails to match it all.
It was one of the only shows that really stuck to my mind that season.

Oh and can we take a moment to appreciate these heels? Research says they are Kat Maconies. Damn!
Pamina said these were the highest heels she'd ever had to wear on the runway. Kudos to her, she didn't slip.

Scroll down for more and especially the backstage photos.

BACKSTAGE AT ALENA AKHMADULLINA PRESENTED BY MERCEDES-BENZ ELLE AND THE RUNWAY SHOW

This season was my first time backstage, backstage at a runway show. Backstage frenzy is mad. Mad in a capturing way - somewhat like a New York Minute. So many people in one room, everyone working their best. From photographers, to cameramen and video teams, interviewers and journalists for important magazines getting exclusives and in between the models have to get changed, dressed - but at least everyone has their own personal dresser. It's mad how everyone waits in line to shoot their two questions at Alena Akhmadullina while she takes minutes of her precious time to conversate, while she's still trying to keep a check on everything happening backstage because she's minutes away from her big moment. The moment her models walk the runway in her creative vision for the world to see.

PASTELS

Elie Saab Haute Couture spring 12 - Backstage

Forget color blocking. Forget bold colors. This seasons runways are all about pastel colors. Seems like everybody is into Cotton Candy and tired of neon or anything bright after a season that cried and practically screamed for colors. Color blocking is so last season! (*cough* That doesn't mean it will prevent me from wearing color or strutting the color blocking style if I want to.)
Feels like candy land!
Put on your pink tinted glasses and let fashion take you to the candy shop...dut dut. Maybe it'll let you lick the lollipop...

Proenza Schouler Fall/Winter 2011/12 in the Studio and behind the scenes

Now you know how much I loved the PS11, but this time Proenza Schouler have outdone themselves. Wow! This collection is filled with prints and bursting in colors. Reminds me of Ghana I visited just last summer. These kinda prints and colors always do.
And that red little bag with the black pocket and detail in front will do just fine in my imagenary PS collection :)

•••

Ihr wisst ja wie sehr ich die PS11 liebe, aber diesmal hat Proenza Schouler sich selbts übertroffen. Wow! Diese Kollektion ist gefüllt mit Prints und sprüht ja nur so voller Farben. Erinnert mich an Ghana, wo ich erst letzten Sommer war. Solche Prints und Farben tun das immer.
Und die kleine rote Tasche mit der schwarzen kleineren Tasche und dem Detail vorne wird sich super tun in meiner imaginären PS Sammlung.
