Jone Nielsen is from Norway and has just finished the Oslo University College with a Major in Fashion & Textiles.

Y-3 F/W 2011-12 Campaign

 Inspired by books such as Jack Kerouac's On the Road and John Krakauer's Into the Wild, the new collection of Y-3 deals with the great escape, travelling and the importance of journey, not the destination.
For this collection Y-3 presented two new breakthrough fabrics: Cool Max Wool, a breathable wool with an evaporative cooling system, and Diaplex, a wool herringbone bonded to Goretex that molds itself to the body, becoming like a second skin.

Chanel Couture Moments

Recreating the famous Place Vendome, Karl Lagerfeld presented one of the most spectacular Couture collections in the history of Chanel. On a sparkling asphalt and in nocturnal atmosphere, the models walked wearing tulle masks and boots like seamed stockings, showing the various features of the new allure. Androgynous lines, rounded-shoulder jackets, peplum skirts, backless dresses and blouses and three-piece suits were the basic silhouettes of the collection. The variety of materials was precious: mixed-yarn tweeds, silk crepe, organza, satin, tulle and lace with rich embroidery, adorned with pearls, feathers or jewelled buttons. The colour palette was kept mostly in dark colours as black, anthracite, purple and navy with shocks of white and fuschia pink.

Enjoy a few close-ups of the collection and a beautiful behind-the-scenes short film:
