Adeam RTW Spring 2015

By WWD

For spring, creative director Hanako Maeda looked at Yves Klein’s “Anthropometry” paintings — blue imprints of models’ bodies on white sheets of paper. The inspiration translated not only in the artsy print decorating the cropped Neoprene top and matching skirt that opened the show but also into less literal interpretations of the theme.

In particular, the dynamics of Klein’s art was echoed in flowing plissé panels and ruffles that added movement to feminine dresses worked in technical and knitted fabrics, which sometimes turned a bit too elaborate.

Keeping the silhouettes simple, Maeda scored her best results with a range of plissé knit pieces, including a straight-lined blue number embellished with cutouts on the shoulders and graphic, neon-orange details.

Hair by Yannick d’Is

When asked about the inspiration behind the hair for Tim Coppen’s Spring/Summer 2015 show, lead hairstylist Yannick d’Is replied, “What we’re trying to communicate is a feeling.” D’Is wanted to create a sexy, youthful style for both male and female models that would make them look and feel as if they were part of an urban tribe. “Imagine hopping out of the shower and throwing a beanie over your wet hair,” d’Is explained. “You take your hat off right before stepping into the club and your hair is flat at the top and textured on the bottom. That is the look and feeling we are trying to recreate.” The result is a fun and fresh hairstyle that goes perfectly with the tough clothes from Coppens’ collection entitled “Jungle Sunrise.”

NEW YORK (AP) — "When your halo slips for good, you'll have to wear your hood."

So sang British rocker Ian Brown — and so wrote designer Tim Coppens in his notes Sunday for a New York Fashion Week show of brightly colored outerwear and slouchy crew-and-shorts sets in white, gray and black for both men and women.

Coppens began as a womenswear designer but has focused of late on men. Now, he's looking to beef up his offerings for women.

In a backstage interview, he said his inspirations for spring were part Brown, part papery sleeves used to protect vinyl records when they're slipped into album covers — and part Manchester soccer fans who used to wear trenchcoats.

He used his signature "jungle sunrise" print but added blurred neons inspired by "basic laser lighting from back in the day."

Known for his use of technical fabrics, this time around there was a more fluid but still structured feel.

For women, he used tight flowing pleating that flowed at the back.

As for those trenchcoats, his bright reds and blues might be a welcome sight in menswear departments.

"There's not a lot of color around. I guess sneakers are colorful," Coppens mused.

And he didn't forget the hoods.
