This claret jug exemplifies Oomersi Mawji’s best work. With its distinctive snake handle, it belongs to a small group of which a similar example sold for £21,600 in these salerooms at Bonhams in 2009.

 For his latest spring-summer 2013 collection fashion designer Rajdeep Ranawat took inspiration from the breathtaking architecture of Greece and presented his collection named SANTORINI.

Sergei Grinko SS13 @ Milan

Sergei Grinko calls its new Women’s collection, "Solaris", in homage to the famous novel by S. Lem (1961), as everyone remembers; "Solaris" is the story of a deep intrinsic harmony between the human being and his place of origin: nature. The designer emphasizes and elaborates in his typical style and three-dimensional colored with shades of pale pastel tones ranging from lavender to peach, pale green to indigo, and in some cases completely white or completely blacks. The accessories are based on a reinterpretation of the futuristic jewel of art deco style, also you see some wonderful bags and clutches to complete the collection.

Dsquared SS 13 @ Milan

Super glam and chic street style is seen in Dean and Dan SS13 collection. The biker hats, junky bracelets, the pearls and gold chains, the skinny sexy look. It seems all a fun and sexy ride; starting the show with undergarment style with lot of funky jewelries, biker jacket with pink hot pant, denim hot skirt with customized belt, pink small polka jacket, printed with sequenced work on white jacket, transparent knitted long dress, cheetah printed mini and long dress.

Gianfranco Ferr

The collection looks to me as awaken of ferre; truly architectural inspired. It’s a revamp of the 80’s signature in a modern day wearing making it look very sober and perfect for the brand. The all black and white look along with reptile printed leather at certain parts makes it look very luxurious and sophisticated.

Though after a year of hard work the designer duo found a right path to the bankrupted brand but still the internal problems are still alive. Let’s  hope the brand will survive and continues its best.
