“When a reaction occurs between two chemical elements, both change their properties,” science says. The same thing happens when design and fashion merge in a single rush!

The Pearl: Silvio del Ponte
What a pity that it is not customary to display underwear, even very beautiful ones, in a decent society! But the Italian lingerie brand La Perla still found a way to show its product with its face! In tandem with the Italian architect and designer Silvio del Ponte, she released a series of lamps suspiciously reminiscent of ladies’ corsets.

Diesel: Moroso is Foscarini
Denim brand Diesel decided to dress not only its fans, but also their apartments. Together with the companies Moroso and Foscarini, she produced furniture and lighting fixtures. Their design is thought out in an adult way, but Diesel’s daring youth style is recognizable at first sight!

Philippe Starck: Ballantyne
Scotland is famous for its cashmere. But few know about it. Therefore, to promote the product on the market, the Scottish company Ballantyne called on the guru of modern design – Philippe Starck. His capsule collection is full of irony and self-irony. Doesn’t the hood of this dress remind you of the hat of one of the famous Stark dwarfs?

Zaha Hadid: Melissa
“Plastic has a great future!” – says the Brazilian company Melissa, which produces shoes exclusively from this material. The latest collection of the brand was designed by the star of avant-garde architecture Zaha Hadid. Futuristic shoes sell out like sugar cockerels on a stick. No wonder they smell like candy!

Martin Margiela home: I salons 2009
The eccentric Belgian Martin Margiela, avant-garde and provocateur from the fashion business, is phenomenally secretive. He never agrees to be interviewed, believing that his collections speak for themselves. But recently, Margiela still gave up – he presented several conceptual interiors at the Furniture Salon in Milan, thereby declassifying his decorating preferences. We don’t know how for whom, but for us this is the most interesting!
Frank Gehry: Tiffany
Unlike Norman Foster, Erik van Egeraat and other Western architects of the first echelon, the famous deconstructivist Frank Gehry has not yet reached Russia with his projects. But jewelry from his collection for Tiffany & Co has already been brought to us! The bracelets are definitely reminiscent of the right wing of the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, and the earrings are the “dancing house” in Prague … The best gift for women in love with architecture.

Ever since the Spaniard Jaime Ayon burst into the world of design, everyone has been talking about him. He tirelessly designs furniture, cookware, tiles and sanitary ware for many companies. It is only with the shoe brand Camper that Jaime has a special relationship. He serves them, as they say, “from and to.” Starting with the design of sales areas and ending with a collection of shoes in temperamental colors!

Cartel: Etro
Not only people, but also design objects, for example, the iconic Pop chair from Kartell, are capable of changing their image at the call of the all-powerful fashion. The Italian company, together with the Etro fashion house, decided to “change” the masterpiece of the designer Piero Lissoni. The experiment was a success: it is impossible to look away from bright prints!

Working on the latest collection of Jil Sander, its art director Raf Simons was inspired by the vases of the ceramist Paul Chambaut, created in the 50s of the last century (now such a rarity can only be found at auction). Dresses follow the curves of these graceful vessels, and women act as daffodils and orchids!

Matthew Williamson: The Rug company
One of Matthew Williamson’s favorite prints this year migrated from dresses and tops to the floor. The famous fashion designer has developed for the English brand The Rug Company a collection of carpets with variations on the theme of Indian ornaments, which can only be compared with curry in their sharpness!

Moschino: Kartell
It turns out that Salvador Dali himself was indirectly involved in the creation of these chairs. When designing furniture for the Kartell brand, the designers of the Moschino fashion house were inspired by the paintings of the Spanish surrealist. Unlike Dali, who did not hesitate to copy his works again and again, all items from this collection are made in one copy.

Mark Newson: G-Star
Australian designer Mark Newson is best known for creating the most expensive piece of furniture in history, the Lockheed Lounge chaise lounge, which was auctioned for $ 1. But fame did not turn Newson’s head and did not prevent his cooperation with the democratic denim brand G-Star. While developing the collection, he was guided by the principle: “Even fewer seams, even more comfort!”
