Corina Vladescu talking about NOIR (full interview here - only in romanian)
"NOIR este un proiect la care tin enorm, este o alternativa fashion cu preturi acceptabile la magazinele arhicunoscute de highstreet, cu un design original apartinandu-mi in totalitate. Fiecare colectie va fi gandita exact ca o colectie de catwalk Corina Vladescu, originala in design, linie si cromatica. Sunt foarte mandra ca am reusit sa pastram calitatea materialelor si a accesoriilor intacta. Stofele naturale, nasturii din corn, pielea, matasea si bumbacul sunt coordonatele noii colectii. Versatiliatea acestor piese este un aspect care a fost foarte important pentru mine deoarece mi-am dorit piese care se pot combina la nesfarsit, obtinand o multitudine de lookuri diferite care nu se demodeaza. Sunt piese indispensabile crearii unei garderobe de sezon originala si rafinata la preturi prietenoase."
NOIR was shown for the first time in Paris at the Who's Next salon de pret-a-porter and will be available from this autumn in Bucharest, New York, Barcelona, London, Dublin, Canary Island.


The accessories chosen for this collection will mostly be Breaking the Pattern necklaces, which fit perfectly the fluid-dreamy NOIR clothes.
The illustration you see above is designed by Nico (Burp), especially for this event, she is so talented - many-many thanks for your help!
The best part of this collaboration is that I got to meet Corina, whom work and personality I admire and love for some years now; and guess what? she's even lovelier in real life and her clothes are just to-fill-your-dressing-with :)
Can't wait for the show to happen and to receive the awesome pics <3
