HARRISON TAYLOR JOHNSON - ELEGANT DESTRUCTION

In 2009 I was very lucky to have an amazing assistant on my SS10 collection, Harrison all the way from America! 


This is his impressive sculptural BA graduate collection! Best described in his own words:


"My senior collection begins and ends with origami.  I have translated complex origami folds from paper to fabric.  The process of folding, and the geometry behind it, informs all of the seam lines.  The intention is a stark landscape of geometry."

DESIGNER FIND!

During Kiev Fashion Days we discovered this amazing designer who goes by the name of Phil Bananov. He creates one of pieces mainly using leather to emphasise a more womanly physique.

We loved Phil's stand! Look how eye catching it is.......


What we loved most about Phil's stand was his touch screen computer showcasing photographs of his work. It was a refreshing to be able to interact with his brand and made him very memerable to us.


Phil and Ada 

Check out Phil's website to see more of his amazing work.

THE SHOW!

On Sunday we had our Fashion Show!!!

We got to the venue at 10am to fit the models ready for our show at 7pm. All the models were beautiful and were some of the nicest models we have had the pleasure of meeting.

After hours of preperation the time came for the show to start and the buzz of excitement and anticipation filled backstage.


All of the girls looked amazing in Ada Zanditon.

The show was a huge success and all the catwalk images are on Vogue Russia's website. Here is the link ......... http://www.vogue.ru/fashion/section_8978/Ada+Zanditon/

ADA ZANDITON LECTURE AT KIEV FASHION DAYS!!

On Saturday after our exploring we prepared for the lecture by having a run through with our amazing translator Daryna.

The Lecture took place at 4:00pm at the Kiev Fashion Days venue in Arsenal. And we had a great turn out there wasnt a spare seat in the place! 


 The talk consisted of how Ada Zanditon garments are made and how this is ethical. The audience were transfixed and we had a great reponse from the audience, with many people asking questions and approaching us after the lecture.

Ethical fashion is the Ada Zanditon brand philosophy and we hope to educate as many people as we can on this topic. Everyone can make a difference so get ethical! 

KIEV!

On Friday night we arrived in Kiev for Kiev Fashion Days. How exciting!!

We got to the hotel extremely late on our first night so we didn't get a chance to look around Kiev untill the next day.

We left to explore the city and found this huge clock on the side of the road right outside of our hotel it's amazing! And yes it was snowing in March!!


We went exploring and found the biggest dance off the world has even seen between two towns surrounding Kiev. It was the strangest thing to see grown men and women dancing to Thriller in the snow in their plastic rain coats. It looked like so much fun!!


In Kiev there are no pedestrian crossings. So while we where pondering how to cross 4 lane roads we saw people going into what we thought was the underground but turned out to be an underground walk way. It was like going into a not so secret passage way.



We love Kiev!
