Innovative Pattern Cutting - Romina Karamanea

Showcasing beautiful designs by London fashion designer Romina Karamanea (originates in Athens). She did Fashion Design and Product Development at Nottingham Trent University, then she went to Central Saint Martin for Innovative Pattern Cutting.

I can clearly see the Innovative Pattern Cutting directly applied in her recent collection (which is my favorite by far). And I have to say first thing that captured my eyes is really the stunning Fashion Photography! The blood red jewel toned satin cut in an architectural shapes, with just the right amount of stiffness which complements with the fluidity and luster of the fabric, on the skin that seem like an immortal (or corpse like). I could really stare at this photo forever...and the longer I stare the image reminds me of the movie "sin city". There is definitely a common feel to the color and mood manipulation between the two.

London Street Style

After my shopping spree at the outlet, Susie Bubble got me into these cool looking pieces from All Saints, a British street wear label which hasn't really been advertising in the States at all (not like TopShop).

The red dress is simply stunning, it will definitely be a magnificant dress for xmas party! And this time I actually like the leggings although I am never too fond of leggings - I am a tights and stockings lover, but these has the tattoo like pattern on the legging which is really chic and toned down the whole outfit instantly. And I also really love the day outfit on the right, the jacket seems soft and comfortable but the big collar, the straps on the cuffs and the waist belt gives the jacket a lot more structure.

Very tempting...but I am still going to stick to my plan and save up some money until I go home!
