Carlotta Actis Barone AW13/14 Collection
Think black and white 1930’s Hollywood glamour with pleated
skirts in diaphanous floaty chiffon, nipped in waists and structured shoulders.
Carlotta contrasts her fabrics in each garment. The flowing soft pleated nets with the semi rigid
satin and faux leathers.....
......And geometric slashes of transparent fine nets in between the thicker jersey, wool and faux leather fabrics.
Monochrome colour
block panels added a touch of cubism.
Mainly of cocktail dresses and long evening gowns, the collection also included a few jackets and coats. This black
coat complements the curve of the body with its nipped in waist and
cocoon shaped skirt.
Taking full advantage of the way the voluminous swing coat
sways out, Carlotta ensures the patterned lining also attracts attention. Even
when closed this lining will peep out with every movement or breeze. Matched with black skinny paints adorned with
a side stripe of the same print.
Here the 30s princess style is updated to a shorter length.
The front opening curves to the left with oversized buttons, whilst the length
of the right lapel is elongated bringing balance to the unusual design.
The jackets are paired with diaphanous chiffon skirts for evening wear. Like the above coat, the front opening of the jackets curve but this time with hidden
fastenings and no collar, presenting a feminine minimalistic look.
Some pieces will be available soon from UK online

One Day Without Shoes - Tues 16th April - Leave Your Footprint
TOMS invites you to join them and go barefoot on April 16th for their 6th annual ‘One Day Without Shoes’ initiative.
‘One
Day Without Shoes’ is a movement to bring global awareness to
children’s health and education. First founded in 2003 in the US, it has
since grown to attract hundreds of thousands of participants annually
throughout the world.
How You Can Get Involved:
Leave Your Footprint – Post a Photo
On April 16th simply post pictures of you at work, at home or out and about with no shoes on via Twitter and Instagram using the hashtag #withoutshoes.
Leave Your Footprint – Be Part of an Exhibition
Each
image with this hashtag will be uploaded at a dedicated TOMS pop-up
space in Covent Garden and printed live, creating an ongoing exhibition
of the public’s barefoot photos.
Leave Your Footprint – Join the TOMS Barefoot Walk
TOMs invites you to meet on April 16th
at 15 Monmouth Street in Covent Garden from 6pm, where a walk to the
Seven Dials will commence at 7pm. Join TOMS and District MTV on London
barefoot walk challenge with special celebrity friends.
Throughout
the day, MTV will be showcasing the best upcoming Live music acts and
DJ Sets to entertain the crowds and get behind this fantastic
initiative.
This is about more than shoes.
Children lacking access to education and good health struggle to break
the poverty cycle. As well as helping as a preventative measure against
diseases such as hookworm and tetanus, many schools in rural developing
nations require students to have shoes to attend, so not having shoes is
a roadblock to opportunity. By providing these children with shoes and
school uniform, TOMS can encourage a child to stay in school; meeting
their basic needs as part of a deeper engagement in education, building
their confidence and self esteem, and opening them up to more
opportunities in life.
Organisers
hope that the impact of ‘One Day Without Shoes’ will spark conversation
about the health and education of disadvantaged children who go without
shoes globally. By raising awareness we can change the road ahead for
millions.
