DEATH BY DIAMONDS AND PEARLS
The Italian sculptress and performer of body art, Barbara Bologna is an artist like no other. Her first clothing and accessories line was brought to life in the year 2000 and called "Barbara Bologna". She doesn't like calling herself a fashion designer as it diminishes the nature of a creative process, which in her case is a mystical journey of extreme emotions encapsulated, yet free flowing through her soul.
BARBARA BOLOGNA is a space where art, fashion, music and theatre live in a perfect symbiosis. The creations exceed any simplistic attempt of defining a garment; they are like images capturing the mere moment. As an independent artist, Barbara conceives ideas from outside any boundaries and restraints that fashion industry often comes with, and as she explained in one of her interviews, these concepts are born in the back of her eyes. Barbara Bologna cherishes personal artistic freedom and her fashion universe is formed exclusively from those, who share the same creative mindset and feelings. Through an extensive research and rigorous attention to detail, the artist and her team of Italian artisans offer collections of high quality fabrics and innovative visions. In a very extraordinary way she manages to marry commercial aspects of the pieces with artistic and conceptual nature of each garment. Often trapped in the middle of her opposite natures, Bologna achieves balance between life and death, vulgarity and decency, grotesque and familiarity, all through her very original designs. Barbara is a progressive artist who commits to changing each collection to be more contemporary and unique than the previous one. With every line she embarks on a journey of self-discovery and growth. It comes from and speaks the language of her soul, as she finds soul to be the only thing that is real.
Through her creations Bologna wants to preserve the inner child, residing in every one of us, hoping to achieve a positive reaction from the wearer. This beautifully odd artist challenges status quo of 'avant-garde' fashion finding it limiting and therefore always looking into the outer reality.
BARBARA I GONGINI is a Nordic brand established in the field of international luxury Avant – Garde fashion design, founded in 2005. The core of the BARBARA I GONGINI brand DNA is centered on strength of individual and not on sex or sexual orientation, societal order or other normative pressures, but on playful imaginative tale of craftsmanship that breathes freedom of self-expression.
The BARBARA I GONGINI collections present a different take on Nordic garments, derived from a conceptual approach towards fashion design. The specific construction process is aimed at crafting garments eloquently suitable for both men and women. Structural forms are challenged and experimental pattern-making shape a solemn backdrop for contemporary tailoring.
The design process is comprised of artistically responsible exercises with a particular focus on sustainability. BARBARA I GONGINI aims to contribute to local and global responsibility by pushing the boundaries of ethical fashion. A meticulous creative process can be doted as rather numerical, where design is based on continuous evolvement rather than sheer renewal and instant dismissal.
BARBARA I GONGINI embraces Nordic high-end craftsmanship irreverently. The MAN and WOMAN collections include strong geometric cuts and soft ovoid silhouettes, focusing on the versatility of traditional tailoring. Wearers are encouraged to interact and close forms by selective personalization of the silhouettes, which is named as #multiways. BARBARA I GONGINI collections are aimed, with its timeless and minimalistic DNA and functionality, to a broad audience, regardless the sex, from the young to the everlasting age customer.
CHIN TEO
CHIN TEO is an artisan jewellery brand that has hand – crafted contemporary jewellery pieces since founding of the brand in Melbourne, Australia in 2009. After graduated in Industrial Design, the founder's passion for silver and goldsmithing led him to embark on a cross-continents journey through Asia, Oceania, and Europe, in order to learn from the best craftsmen, notably the maestro – Alexandro Dari from Florence, Italy. Now based in Berlin, Germany, these life and cultural experiences had profoundly shaped his ideas, and philosophy as an artisan.
CHIN TEO jewellery captures monumental forms with natural textural finishes through tools and methods of traditional silver/goldsmith crafting. Inspired by the founder's childhood memories of living by woodlands and collecting found objects, resulted into formed finished pieces of handmade jewellery. Using precious raw materials (primarily sterling silver 925, 18 carat gold and ethically sourced diamonds) at the starting point, allowed the atelier to explore the possibilities through the manipulation of metals and develop new design.
CHIN TEO portrays a sense of individuality and mystery, and these subtle celebrations of irregularities are firmly embedded into the brand's identity, which transcends the traditional concept of luxury jewellery and the relationship with the wearer. Artisan jewellery made for you, by hand.
CHRISTIAN ROTH EYEWEAR
Since its inception in 1983, Christian Roth has reveled in its hard-earned reputation for subverting the conventions of luxury fashion.
Christian Roth sunglasses first appeared on the runway in 1985; soon, the designers were tapped to create custom frames for the fashion shows of industry heavyweights and served on the eyewear design teams as well. "This was a time before every designer had an eyewear license," Domège explains. "They wanted something avant-garde, and we worked with factories in Italy and France that could create exceptional pieces." These and other early successes earned Christian Roth an invitation to join the CFDA in 1990 – a first for an eyewear designer. Christian Roth became a founding executive member of Eyewear Designers of the CFDA (edCFDA) in 2014.
Now, in its first collection as a part of DITA Group, the storied label deconstructs its own archive to begin a conversation with a generation of consumers for whom a new paradigm of style and design has gained traction with breathtaking speed.

"RE/DONE is like the blueprint for what all brands should aspire to be in 2018"
-Emily Farra in Vogue Runway's review of RE/DONE's Fall 2018 collection
Iconic. Sustainable. Individual. RE/DONE is a movement to restore individuality to the luxury fashion space, a movement to keep heritage brands relevant, and a movement to create sustainable fashion. Launched in July of 2014, by Sean Barron and Jamie Mazur, RE/DONE is the first luxury label that was born online and grown as an e-commerce brand.
The first heritage label that RE/DONE embraced was Levi's® – the creator of the first pair of jeans. RE/DONE has since become known for reconstructing vintage Levi's® jeans into modern fits, giving a sense of uniqueness and rareness to each consumer. Next, RE/DONE partnered with Hanes, the originator of the t-shirt, to release the Perfect Tee. In 2016, RE/DONE launched RE/DONE | Originals, a line of vintage inspired pieces including denim, tees, sweats and leather.
Beginning in Fall 2018, RE/DONE is introducing its first real stretch denim program that combines the exclusive stretch fabric developed by RE/DONE with the heritage details that are the hallmark of the brand. RE/DONE will continue to bring unique, ethical, and heritage pieces to the fashion public both under the name RE/DONE and in partnership with additional heritage brands.
"Thom Browne opened his doors in the fall of 2001, redefining the concept of tailored clothing. For spring 2004, Browne took his first step into ready-to-wear. All of the items from his ready-to-wear collection continue to be hand-made, but simply pre-made for the customer who values quality, fine detailing and a fresh vision. The collections have evolved into designs that have drawn attention from the fashion and design industries worldwide, often pushing the boundaries of conventional conceptions. In 2006, the original "by-appointment-only" shop in the Meatpacking District relocated to Hudson Street in Tribeca. In 2013, Thom Browne opened his first store outside the U.S. in Tokyo, followed by stores in Hong Kong and Seoul in 2014."– CFDA
