Modernity is personified by the activism of the writer Elfriede Jelinek or by the courageous Romy Schneider up to the lost world of Eva Ibbotson in Madensky Platz. A breakdown drawing by the Swedish artist Daniel Egnéus represent the woman: an apparently bucolic figure who is actually strong and wild.

A strong character who loves gun barrel grey, oak and edelweiss white. The two-color tartan (champagne and onyx) is gloss, as in a court-ball even if it is to be worn everyday. Moreover there are lace (in straps or in inserts), and impalpable cloths and fabrics which caress the thighs.

Feminine details: sleeves that turn into being puffed thanks to hooks and hidden buttons, laser fringed hems, featherweight trimmings, the cloth becomes a string and it outlines inside necklines, geometrical lace edges on bras and Haupsburg green enamel buttons.

The waist is the thing we pay attention to. Empire is the style of the lines while silhouettes do concentrate on legs (either naked or covered with leggings) on which we find light hoodies, long and twisted cardigans or  blouses made or printed silk gauze. The necklines on tops ask to be looked at, they are never impudent and they have got strategic oval curling that uncover the back.

3D shadows: the stitch is not flat anymore, but three–dimensional in edges with stripes in relief on skirts and leggings, while the suits made soft mohair look like a chessboard with squares which are either impressed or in relief.

(In)visible signs: the etiquette becomes important and it is something different from catwalk clothes. It is a way for the cruise collection by Kristina Ti into become more and more unique.

The performances, video installations, some model hostess, the other on catwalk … the opening night was held in a very friendly atmosphere.

White, black, gray and some green or yellow are the colors that have been built around this collective ehxibition. The “Be Green In Any colors you wear” under which name takes place BFW, brings on the catwalks vintage garments made from friendly recyclable materials.

Otherwise, many of the famous brand  show us something different and unexpeceted. For example, Prada which modest women is not more trendy. On the contrary, the dominant Latin American style, with elements of Baroque, plus high heels, is recommend for the following summer.

Another surprise is Gucci’s beautiful and dominant women who is presented in a way of incompatible styles, from luxury through the classic  to hippie style.

This year, RoccoBarocco is inspired by retro style, while the motives for his new collection found in Africa. The new collection of Gianfranco Ferrè apparently remind on an intermittent rhythm of jazz music. Precise and clean lines that follow the body and its movements, are the main characteristics of the whole collection. Furthermore, the new line of the popular brand Missoni is inspired by the distant and mysterious Orient.

Something different and always recommended is cheap & chic collection that brings Moschino, which will delight any woman. She is a cheerful, colorful and fun.

Are you a fashion victim?
If I consider that a Fashion victim is someone who is altering his look from season to season and follow trends then I am definitely not a “victim”.

What interest me in Fashion is the creativity behind and most of all the style. As Yves-Saint-Laurent stated Fashions fade but Style is eternal.

What is the real luxury for you?
I started to think that real Luxury doesn’t lie in materialistic values but on the amount of time and personal investment you can afford to do what you want to do without any constraints.

Maybe the supreme Luxury of life is to have the freedom to realize your ultimate goals.

Why The Fashionglobe?
I wanted to create a world where creativity is not reserved for talented individuals working for their own or as a result of commercial objectives.

The idea behind the FG was to offer a unique destination where creative people could share and develop their passion for Fashion without geographical boundaries and spirit of competition.

The FG is a sweet home for a big family which has for noble mission to offer dreams and beauty to a world ruled by money.

What is the mission of this community?
The mission of the FG is to gather all the most creative minds from the worlds of fashion, art and luxury and to offer them the possibility to meet both online and offline in an exclusive and confident environment.

What is different here respecting other social community (ASW or Iqons)?
ASW is a community built on a multimillionaire investment targeting a large audience regardless of members’ interests. While the network strives to focus on exclusivity by giving invitations rights like a “privilege” to members, this approach is totally different from ours.

We have started without investment and our membership is not based on privileged rights but on administrator’s approval.

Our members are the centre of our attention and our spirit is to help them get noticed by featuring their work and enable them to take an active role within our community.

To keep a high-quality membership and ensure that our members are serious the FG access is limited. We use both focus on a small niche and exclusivity.

As for you, what is the future trends in social media ( fashion 2.0) ?
Social media is facing actually a huge revolution and it’s obvious that the luxury marketers are definitely adapting their strategies to reach their clients online.

I think that the biggest challenge is to find the best ROI (return of investment) while online marketing tools are getting more and more sophisticated.

Maybe the future trend in social media and fashion particularly is to become again less social and more exclusive?
