Hello again my friends.Today is not
such a bright day for me because I have to leave my sweet home for another year
of College in Bucharest.Don’t take it as a tragedy but tell me , isn’t home the
best place on earth?If is not I trust you because always appears excepsions but
I’m quite sure that the majority share my impresion.
In the matter of fashion , because
that’s what I promote here , today I want to expose you some of the best fashion designers from my country. Each
of these designers brings their own style, ranging from urban avant-garde to
original prêt-a-porter to stunning haute-couture.
Doina Levintza is the most established
fashion designer of Romania
and probably the most famous one. Her background in theatre costumes design
transcends into her sumptuous gowns, her trademark being hand-made lace and
broidery of dramatic effect and utter delicacy. Her creations are timeless
pieces of otherworldly beauty.
Dan Coma is the first designer of luxury
accessories: his bags and shoes are the favorites of almost anybody who is
“somebody” in Romania.
He manages to stay on top through the original designs but also through the
exquisite quality of his creations, that could easily rival with the
international big names such as Prada, Gucci, Louis Vuitton or Manolo Blanhik.
Ana Maria Lungu, returned, after an
internship at Yves Saint Laurent, to Eastern Europe
and its social and historical context, which she believes is ¨provocative and
widely open to all kinds of artistic experiments”. She received the Kent
Explora prize for innovation in design and also the Pantene New Look prize for
most promising new designer. Her clothes are colorful and enriched with
accessories that perfectly match the ornamental garments. The careful
association of details gives her collections a complex unity.
Carmen Secareanu won in 2004 the first place
at the design innovation contest K- Explora, costume section, with the project
"unusual clothes for usual people”. Her creations are often shown in
numerous magazines such as "Elle", "Beau Monde",
"Cosmopolitan" , "Tabu", "Design", etc. Her
autumn-winter collection 2006 was declared by "Elle" magazine the
best collection presented at "Romanian Fashion Week".
Elena Tibulca is an avant-garde creator of
accessories. A necklace signed by her is a statement. You wear it with all your
soul or you hate it from the beginning. The little tube of Murano glass is to
her hands as the color is to the painter: nothing specific before, everything
in the world after. She feels the color as a painter, the form as a designer,
the volume as a sculptor.
Romanita
Iovan isa former fashion model.
Ms. Iovan launched her Romanitza fashion house in 1991. The label soon became
one of the most successful in Romania,
and Ms. Iovan's inimitable style and work ethic helped to build her reputation
as a highly creative and accomplished designer and business woman. The
exquisite quality and aristocratic air of her designs have earned her
distinctive runway shows a special respect and recognition.
Catalin Botezatu is one of Romania's top designers.Mr.Botezatu
began to work as a fashion designer in 1992 and established his own fashion
house in 1996. He is one of the few major fashion designers who directs and
styles his own shows and makes all his accessories (jewelry, shoes, and hats).
His distinguished clientele includes politicians, socialites, VIPs,
entertainers and celebrities. Nevertheless, his beautiful couture designs
appeal to every woman looking to bring out her femme fatale side through
sensual, refined and sophisticated fashions.
