Blanco Spring/Summer 2011

Blanco pays tribute to summer light with [Brazilian model] Evandro Soldati as the main protagonist.

The new Spring Summer 2011 collection by Blanco is mainly warm. The light and shadow effects surround a coloristic campaign in which green, navy blue, coral and ochre stand out.

The chain of stores has gone retro this season with styles from the 1950s, 60s and 70s.

For men, sporty and urban are the trends this season. Clothes that are comfortable and easy to wear, such as chino trousers, which Blanco brings with a youthful look, adding elastic round the ankles and combining sporty lines with more classic looks.

Green khaki is the favorite color this season and the common factor in both the styles in fashion: military and safari.

For their part, natural tones like cream, watery green and sky blue add a different touch to jeans.

“Search and Destroy” at BAFWeek by Santana X Kostüme

Well, next week is BAFWEEK once again, otherwise known as Buenos Aires Fashion Week, and for this edition Argentine label Kostüme is team up with Santana Textiles—one of the largest denim producers in the Americas.

Santana X Kostüme has positioned itself as a high-end item—an object of desire or product of conceptual luxury.

The collection (#20) draws inspiration from the song “Search and Destroy” by the Stooges in their Iggy Pop album (1973), which lead singer Iggy Pop from a heading in Time Magazine about the Vietnam War.

The line of denim is avant-garde with geometric shapes, washed almost to the point of destruction, with colors of ultra black to various shades of grey.

Santana Textiles was founded 1963 in Jaguarana, Brazil, and now runs 5 major plants with 2,500 employees. The company holds to an green policy that seeks to lessen the environmental impact from denim manufacturing.

Kostüme is designed by Camila Milessi and Emiliano Blanco.
