Monica and Penelope Cruz for Agent Provocateur
Penelope and Monica Cruz are indispensable sister duo in the world of
fashion. They proved it with a new collaboration with wold famous and
recognized brand of underwear Agent Provocateur, for which they created
special line. The collection will include 15 pieces of underwear, such
as are corsets, bras and panties.
Everything started when Monica Cruz cast off her clothes for Agent Provocateur’s fall collection, after that the invitation got also Penelope. Later they both decided that they are more enraptured with love of designing than modeling, so they slowly started, under guidance of creative director Sarah Shotton, to design first pieces of their collection for the fall collection 2013.
Although they just started to plan and design their new collection,
the big wave of enthusiasm kindled over the fashion scene which is
impatiently waiting for the collection to reach the stores.
The brand spokes person announced to media that the line will be
consumer more friendly and more accessible to those with a little less
“thick” wallet. For those who are a bit more impatient can taste the
autumn campaign with Monica Cruz.

Black and white minimalism
Minimalistic white and rich black is a perfect combination for the time,
when you are clear with your thoughts and when you know, that the best
things are always simple. Shoes Dr. Martens should be in the autumn of
2012 totally white. You make them to pop out in combination with a
number too big white cashmere sweater or an ironed long-sleeve shirt and
a leather pants, because… well, because you want to show that you know,
don’t you?

Fashion and postmodernism
Maison Martin Margiela for H&M |
Chains of „instant fashion“ are collaborating with known designers as on the conveyor belt, street fashion is marching as never before, fashion bloggers are already a part of the established scene, designer pieces are accessible to the crowd all over the world and are everyday passing into popular culture, which is beside everything else playing with shapes and style of previous fashion eras,… may we say now, that we live in period of “postmodernism” in fashion?
In the world of fashion theorists, who are painfully hard to find, these appearances are called “democratization of fashion”. Democratization in that sense, that fashion is now accessible to the wide majority of people, and it’s not hermetically closed as in the past, when time and place of fashion shows were the biggest secret and trends for next seasons were known just between small, well informed circles.
Today everything is on the silver tray. Big companies of “instant fashion” are hiring young scouts with sense of style to visit fashion and lifestyle metropolises as London, Stockholm, Tokyo, New York and try to find ideas for the next seasons in the personal styles of creative and daring individuals (when they are not publicly collaborating with known names, who are in “crises” times more than ever ready to design cheaper collections for the crowd).
What are we going to wear next season we know at least a year before, mostly thankfully to an excellent media and cyber covering of fashion weeks, where first rows are taken by yesterday’s unknown individuals, who today write and photograph for their web pages.
And as in postmodernism literature, where high and popular literature unite and where works an imitate past or trivial ways of writing, that’s how fashion copies cuts, colors, materials and stylistic combinations of previous eras.
But is fashion taking it without critics and totally naive? Of course not. Even if it’s momentary, as we like to say, “IN” 50’s, 70’s or 80’s styles, we can do the biggest mistake, when we are wearing this kind of clothes too honestly and experience it without distance. This way we can became a victim of fashion or a relic of the past, who doesn’t understand, what is a good style.
If is a basic knowledge of a postmodernism literature already a part of high school education and if we really can’t expect that somebody, who has at least a little bit of common knowledge, can naively read Eco, Fowles or Robbe-Grillet, is the awareness in fashion much smaller.
To educated people is fashion flat, dull and redundant, to average people is fashion too expensive and unworthy, to business people is again too crazy and moody. There’s a few people, who enjoy game of fashion, who can and have energy to think how to wear something and what message they share to the world. We need good fashion theorists, who will with their expert and scientific accession research contemporary fashion phenomenons, who will put them on the map of social sciences and write about fashion with good theoretical base.
If it’s ever time for that, it’s now.
