Garment Of The Week: Dimensione Danza

Manufactured by Sinv - the company behind See by Chloe, Love Moschino and McQ by Alexander McQueen - Dimensione Danza’s luxurious SS11 collection is brand new to the UK market. Available in a variety of boutiques nationally and of course online, Dimensione Danza reflects the expert Italian craftsmanship more commonly associated with an international fashion house, demonstrated through a cacophony of luxurious fabrics and edgy cuts.

Inspired by both New York street culture and the world of dance, Dimensione Danza is the brainchild of professional dancer Nadia Baroni, who deftly unites refined technical proportions with their casual counterparts, perfectly marrying fashion with functionality. Comprised of four capsule collections; The City, One Mile from Home, Active, and Weekend, Baroni’s SS11 collection is a muted colour story, shirking the trend for bright colour blocking instead offering beautifully understated earth tones that epitomise the versatility of the luxury urban brand. Key garments include the beige suede-effect jumpsuit and the black asymmetric off-the-shoulder top (both pictured above).

Campaign Fever: Love Moschino, we do!

Garance Dore, the wonderfully talented French blogger, illustrator, photographer and - lest we forget - fiancé of the fashion blogosphere’s biggest star Scott Shuman (of The Sartorialist) has shot the Love Moschino Autumn/Winter 2010-11 Advertising Campaign.

Garance met with Moschino’s Creative Director; Rossella Jardini to photograph her in her Milanese flat and posted the shoot to her blog, titled “Rossella”. The post begins with a beautiful portrait of Rossella, followed by detailed photographs of her apartment and her jewellery. Garance commented; “……I immediately liked her refined style and her Italian humour….I loved the mix of elegance and sense of humour that can only be found in Rossella’s universe.”

The collaboration between Rossella Jardini and Garance Dore began with vintage jewellery, design objects, books, pictures, and websites – a mix of traditional research and new media. Through her self titled blog Garance has many times expressed that printed and online media can happily live together side by side, using this concept to create an interesting collaboration which celebrates individuality, the Love Moschino Advertising Campaign was born.
