                           Cacharel

IT was third time lucky for Ling Liu and Dei Sun, the still fairly new designers at the house of Cacharel, brought into replace Cedric Charlier three seasons ago. Between them they have a CV that boasts time at Balenciaga, Galliano and Yves Saint Laurent and between them, they had a tough task of taking on the mantle of an established house like Cacharel. Last season, they were unsure of their fashion footing but today showed that they seemed to have found their stride.
"They gave us what we expected - prints that were feminine and unique, it was grown-up girlie,".
"There was a playfulness and it was the ultimate spring," she said referring to the ultra fresh blue, white and green palette and the airy silhouettes.
The duo had taken inspiration from movement and afternoon tea time - a time at which, for them, they see their girl to be dreaming away. "She has two sides - one is a princess and one is more rock 'n' roll, a girl who listens to Blondie," the pair explained of their muse.
This materialised, however, into transparent wispy dresses and skirts, bunched at the waist; airy plaid shirts in mint shades; swingy trapeze dresses pleated with aquatic prints; frothy frills around the waist; graphic prints on top to softer - more of the aquatic- ones below; and everything matching to a degree.
"It's very important for us to take the Cacharel DNA and try to put it with our own inspiration and our own personalities," explained Liu and Sun. And does it get easier with each new collection? "It's very interesting," they diplomatically replied.
It certainly seemed to be easier for them this season - this collection was back on the right tracks for Cacharel.

Backpack of Pills: Damien Hirst and the Olsens Design a $55,000 Bag

 Contemporary artist Damien Hirst is anything but scared of death. A list of his collection of artwork reads like a kunstkammer of mortal symbolism: platinum skulls, visceral depictions of human organs, dead animals, and so on. So his recent collaboration with online luxury retailer Just One Eye and Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen’s fashion line The Row produced, unsurprisingly, a twisted take on backpacks and some of his own masterpieces.

Hirst designed a $55,000 black patent leather Nile crocodile backpack studded with with numerous unusable prescription pills that will be available in limited quantities beginning Dec. 12. Other designs have small gold or multicolored dots, large gold or multicolored dots, and black and grey pills. Hirst will determine how much of the proceeds from sales of the 12 bags will be donated to UNICEF.

The backpack, as head-scratching of a piece of art as it is, is a relatively faithful representation of both Hirst and the Olsen twins’ aesthetics. The body of the bag itself is the same as The Row’s infamous $39,000 crocodile backpack that flew off of Barneys’ virtual and in-store shelves. Each bag is crafted in Italy and includes features like an internal detachable handle, adjustable canvas straps, internal zip-fastening, slit pockets, small gold-plated brass feet at base, a metal mirror plate and case, and designer-stamped gold-plated brass hardware signed by Hirst.

The pills are all Hirst. He famously set an auction record for the most expensive work of art by a living artist in June 2007, when his Lullaby Spring, a steel cabinet with 6,136 pills, sold for $19.2 million to the Emir of Qatar. More recently, eight international Gagosian galleries showcased 331 of his spot paintings, one of which is called “LSD.” The dazzlingly simple dotted canvases have become something of a staple of his; the exhibition garnered widespread and mixed commentary on what he has called a vision of an alternate reality. The paintings’ equal amounts of praise and condemnation drew attention to his message and the idea of endless sets of patterns. Similarly, the pill-accented backpack builds on the implications of prevalent designer drugs in luxurious, and, of course, wallet-stretching fashion.

"The judges had an unenviable task as the entries this year were all exceptionally strong and very diverse in what they were bringing to the market and how they had been thriving in difficult times," said UKFT chief executive John Miln. "The entries were inspiring and showed us all that the fashion and textile industry is world class and still leads the way not only creatively but also commercially. We cannot wait to celebrate with all of our shortlisted companies at the Awards some truly remarkable achievements."
