Ong Oaj Pairam SS16 at London Fashion Week

Inspired by a myriad of references including the  Photographic book  Swans, Legends of the Jet Society , Ong Oaj Pairam brings a Riviera cool laid back glamour to his day wear and a French  couture style to his evening gowns.

Showing a sense of humour, Tintin is a key source of inspiration in the creation of Ong’s Safari jackets and his trench coats. The camel safari jacket is in supple perforated leather whilst the trench comes in bright yellow suede similar to the colour of Tintin’s hair.

Look closely and you’ll find that the chic jacquard print on this trench coat is not just your classic polka dot but also has tiny silhouettes of butterflies and insects hidden amongst them.

For his SS16 prints, Ong has the jet set life in mind with a stacked suitcases pattern.

 Other prints include a delicate Oriental floral pattern and eerie silhouettes of birds perched on branches

Hand stitched ruffles cocoon the wearer in exaggerated glamour and luxury.

Ong chooses a calming colour palette of utilitarian shades of green, russet, sand, tan and camel representing the jet set’s cosmopolitan travels on safari, to the jungle and yachts anchored on the Riviera. Whist bursts of sky blues and burning yellow, fuchsia and orange show the richness and colourful life of the jet setter.

Hand stitched appliqués and embroidery features tropical birds, butterflies and flowers fused with plastics and traditional Irish techniques.

Wilson PK SS16 Collection at London Fashion Week

Titled 'Paradise lost', the collection is inspired by Dante's 'Divine Comedy'.
Contrasting Art Deco with the notion of Christianity, the collection portrays the inner turbulence of the designer's religious beliefs whilst engaging with the psychedelic romance of his work.

Using waves, textures and colour, Wilson tears apart the conventions of Art Deco, creating a collection that uses minimalist surrealism resulting in a sense of effortlessness.

Pieces include invisible yarn mixed cotton knit tops, flared pants, cocktail and floor length dresses.
teaming up with Stoll technology, Wilson PK has created unique knitwear using Italian cotton and invisible yarn, allowing laser cut marble, art deco beads and reflective acrylic to be inserted into the garments.

Working alongside FABBERZ LONDON, the designer has created luxury laser cut pieces for the collection. From heat press gemstone jumpsuits to batwing tops, the collection features transformative yet highly functional pieces.

Key colours: vanilla cream, emerald green, navy, peach and tangerine which are accented by metallic hues and marble patterns, anc contrasted with structure monotones.

United Colors of Benetton, a new commitment for all the world's women

"A Collection Of Us”, is a brand new United Colors of Benetton collection, composed of four capsules which will be released in October, December, February and April, respectively.

Heritage, technique, colour, performance: each of the capsule lines revamp a central element of the brand’s identity by reinterpreting it and charging it with dynamic, contemporary meaning.

Knitwear, colour and innovation hold “A Collection Of Us” together.
The capsule collections bring this three-way alliance back to the centre of the stage, highlighting the technical skills that create soft, polished, on-trend, high performance knitwear, and drawing attention to the imagination and forward-thinking spirit of Benetton fashion.

 A global campaign  accompanies “A Collection Of Us” featuring five female models, each belonging to a different generation and background, each carrying a message of emancipation and empowerment to be spread through digital and traditional media, and destined to reach all of the world’s women.
 What if every woman in the world could be the protagonist of her own story? This question is at the base of the new social commitment by the Treviso-based clothing company, whose sustainability strategy for the coming years will focus specifically on women who are still waiting to be guaranteed a sustainable livelihood and full participation in all economic sectors.
 The “Benetton Women Empowerment Program” is a long term initiative that supports projects and concrete actions aimed at targeting important key priorities for women, following the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set by the United Nations for 2030: sustainable livelihood, non discrimination and equal opportunities, access to quality education and healthcare and an end of all forms of violence against women.
 Benetton’s Women Empowerment Program takes roots in the Italian fashion brand’s long history of social commitment and moves on to recognize that gender equality is not only a human right, but a necessary step toward building a peaceful, prosperous and more sustainable world for all.
