I søndags mødtes jeg med den søde Ivania, som også var i Paris under modeugen. Oprindeligt var idéen, at vi skulle ud og have en kop kaffe og en sludder om løst og fast, men da hun havde travlt med at nå at få besøgt diverse showrooms før hun tog hjem, spurgte hun om jeg ikke ville med en tur til Acne Studios’ showroom i stedet.. og det kan man jo ikke sige nej til, vel? Det var første gang jeg var på besøg i et showroom og hvor er det bare en behagelig oplevelse i forhold til al den stress jeg ellers arbejder under, når jeg laver street style – når man er i showroom, skal man hverken løbe, råbe eller skubbe, sikken dejlig afveksling! Vi blev ført gennem hele kollektionen med historier om tema, teknikker og idéer omkring hvordan kollektionen var blevet til og jeg nød virkelig at få forklaret kollektionen ordentligt i stedet for de flygtige kig, jeg normalt får når jeg bladrer gennem den på style.com. I showroom’et var der borde opstillet til indkøberne, man fik serveret lidt lækkert at spise og drikke og der gik modeller rundt iført outfits fra kollektionen – altsammen i en totalt afslappet atmosfære som gjorde at man virkelig kunne fokusere på tøjet. Mine yndlingskomponenter ved Acnes kollektion for Ss14-sæsonen er helt klart deres brug af lækre lædermaterialer(blandt andet denne ekstremt seje jakke) og det faktum at deres prints er fra tapeter og at intet stykke printet tøj ligner et andet helt præcist. Derudover er jeg forelsket i deres sko – især de snørede gummisandaler I kan se på et billede ovenfor. Kollektionen er ret vidt-spændende med et sailor/punk tema og ret så oppe-i-tiden 90’er-konnotationer. Jeg kan slet ikke vise det hele her, men hvis du har fået vakt din nysgerrighed, kan du se kollektionen HER.
Har I nogensinde været i showroom?
This Sunday I met up with sweet Ivania, who also was in Paris for fashion week. Originally we planned to go out for a coffee and a chat, but since she was in a hurry to make it through various show rooms before leaving Paris, so she asked me if I wanted to come with her to Acne Studios’ show room in stead of coffee.. and you can’t say no to that, right? It was the first time I ever visited a show room and, oh my, that was such a pleasant experience compared to the stress of being a street style photographer – when going through collections at show rooms you son’t have to run, scream or push, which is quite nice! We were walked through the entire collection with stories about themes, techniques and ideas about how the collection was made and I really liked having the collection explained properly in stead of the not-so-detailed impressions you get of the collections, when looking though them on style.com. In the show room tables were put up for the buyers, food and drinks were served and models walked around showing off the clothes – all of this in a completely laid back atmosphere which made it possible to focus on the clothes entirely. My fave components from the Acne SS14 collection was definitely their use of leather in many different ways(like this awesome jacket) and the fact that the prints on the clothes are madre from wallpaper, so that no printed item will look like any other. I also love their shoes – especially the laced rubber sandals on one of the photos above. The collection is pretty widely ranged with a sailor/punk theme and the very current 90’s connotations. I can’t show you everything here, but if you want a closer look, see the collection HERE.
Have you ever gone to a show room?
