„DYNASTY VS FORESTRY“.
mongrels in common stand for merging different cultures and consequentially creating a cosmopolitan, urban and unique look – mongrelism. This season the mongrels play with the idea of the glamorous cast of Dynasty strolling through a deep wintry forest.

Dawid Tomaszewski’s Autumn/Winter 2011 collection "Kaleidoscope" is an aesthetic experiment inspired by the renowned installations of Danish-Icelandic artist Olafur Eliasson and the x-ray photography of Nick Veasey who hails from Maidstone, England.
Through his work which is often epic in scale, Eliasson employs space, time and light to convey the distorted nature of humanity’s inconsistency of perception. To him art is not merely an outlet for visual recreation but something which can sharpen the observer’s perception of nature and their own personal existence. English artist Nick Veasey explores the concept that what is perceived with the naked eye is simply a metaphor for the reality which lies beneath the surface. To explore this idea Veasey focuses on all too familiar objects using the concept of x-ray photography as his investigative scalpel.
Although both artists differ with their approach and technique, they are both united through the unusual beauty of their work.
Looking through the Kaleidoscope of Tomaszewski we seem to be hypnotized of shapes, forms and patterns. Nuances at the backgrounds and textures make the dominant, multiple reflection effect.
The cold of winter captivates and the darkness starts to glow.

With its new Autumn/Winter 2011 Collection, Laurèl is focusing on “Luxury Ease”. London as a melting pot for fashion, lifestyle and art was the inspiration for this year’s season.
Clean Brit Chic meets modern purism, subtle glamour feminine coolness. Influences of the 60’s contrast with the casual look of the 70’s and leave room for an idiosyncratic combination of styles that highlight the wearer’s individuality.
Laurèl combines elements from different eras and leaves room for eccentricity, at which it retains elegance and luxury as its defining features. Everything has a touch of the 60ies. Jersey with leather attracts attention and is yet uncomplicated. Matt and shiny contrasts combined with royal blue cause tension and give the whole look the desired appeal.
