MONKI SMARTPHONE APP LAUNCH

fashion concept monki creates photo app giveaway for its customers

On the 1st of March, international fashion concept Monki will release their first ever smartphone app. “Monki Mi” is a free photo booth app, inspired by the Japanese purikura trend. It is designed to let the user monkify herself with crazy effects like huge eyes, super-smooth skin and stamps.
“We believe the world needs a bit more pure fun!” says Monki head of communication Eleonore Nygårds, the creative dynamo behind Monki’s digital development. “Or, from our perspective: it needs a bit more monkiness.”

Having fun with fashion has been the guiding-star for the project, that, apart from traditional cartoon-like stamps and more or less crazy make-up effects feature a photographed selection from the Monki SS12 accessories collection. Monki Mi was created for IOS+, which means that it can be used on iPhone 4 (or an up-graded iPhone 3) as well as iPad.

“Our fans have enabled us to grow from three to 54 stores in just a five years. And to open an online store in 18 countries! That’s amazing. Monki Mi is our way of reaching as many of our customers as possible to say thanks! And give them big eyes and bowler hats...” says Eleonore Nygårds.

MONKI IS: a flirt between street style and Scandinavian fashion sense. Prices range from €3-130.

MONKI IS FOR: people wanting to express and be more of themselves.

MONKI DOES: Collaborating with creative Monki girls like Susie Bubble, Les Mads, Indigo Clarke, Eleanor Hardwick and Mademoiselle Robot is part of the Monki Way.

MULBERRY DEL REY BAG

The Del Rey

Mulberry are launching a new bag, the Del Rey - inspired by American songstress Lana Del Rey.

Lana has mastered the style of Old Hollywood, mixing it with an edgy sense of fun. This contrast appeals to Mulberry who love mixing eclectic references with classic details in the way that Lana does.

The Del Rey bag is infused with this idea, combined with the easy sensibility and English common-sense practicality of our heritage icons.

The Del Rey launches in May as part of the Autumn Winter 2012 collection.

GIORGIO ARMANI AUTUMN WINTER COLLECTION 2012/13

GIORGIO ARMANI AUTUMN WINTER COLLECTION 2012/13

EASY CHIC

THE MODERN WOMAN LOVES TO DRESS IN ANDROGYNOUS AND MASCULINE CLOTHES, YET SHE DOESN’T WANT TO SACRIFICE FEMININE SUBTLETY AND LIGHTNESS. SHE APPRECIATES CLASSIC ELEMENTS LIKE TAILORING AND SEEKS ECCENTRICITY FOR ITS MODERN FEEL. GIORGIO ARMANI DRAWS THESE QUALITIES INTO A COLLECTION WHOSE UNMISTAKEABLE HALLMARK IS THE MEETING OF CONTRADICTORY OPPOSITES.

IMAGINE SLENDER, YET NOT SNUG, PANTS IN GREY PRINCE OF WALES, ENDING IN A PAIR OF POINTED SHOES - EMBROIDERED, ZEBRA STRIPE, OR GLEAMING; THE LOOK IS ROCKABILLY, REFLECTING A FUN, BAD-GIRL ATTITUDE.
TO COMPLETE THE ENSEMBLE, THERE IS A HYPER-FEMININE BLOUSE WITH
A BRIGHTLY COLOURED PRINT (ORANGE, FUCHSIA, TIBETAN RED).
THERE IS A CONTINUAL PLAY OF CONTRASTS, WITH TECHNICAL ORGANZA AND IRON-CREASED BERMUDA SHORTS PEEKING OUT FROM UNDER SKIRTS AND DRESSES WITH A PRECISE, BUT EDGY, DESIGN.

A POCKET-HANDKERCHIEF IN A NECKTIE PATTERN BECOMES A FLOWER PINNED TO A JACKET LAPEL. THE ROUGH-CUT PEA COAT WITH SIMPLE
LINES SLIDES ACROSS THE LEAF-COLLARED SILK BLOUSE, CREATING
A HIGH-DESIGN LOOK. THE DESIGNER JEWELLERY SHARES SOME OF THE SAME MATERIALS AS THE ACCESSORIES - FOR EXAMPLE THE LITTLE
BAGS - AND EMPHASISES HIGHLY ORIGINAL COMBINATIONS SUCH AS
THE BAKELITE NECKLACE WITH SUEDE KNOT PAIRED WITH A LONG SWAROVSKI-CRYSTAL CHAIN. FAUX FUR AND ELASTICISED FABRICS GIVE FORM AND STRUCTURE AND A DIFFERENT KIND OF FULLNESS. VELVET AND ORGANZA REFLECT THE LIGHT WITH NEW INTENSITY.
