Fashion Panache

Wrapping up Scoop London 2016 with the clothing. A brand that I totally fell in love with was Bruniana. Its a knitwear brand that very much reminded me of my university days. The knitwear specialty students always came up with those kind of quirky, colorful, textured clothing.

Made in Italy, with lots of protruded elements, miss stitches to add puckering, more detailing with crochet, pearls and hand embroidery, they looked impeccable. Mixing suede, leather, non wovens with machine knit and hand knit fabrics, the garments were very unique and not something you see often!!!

Another made in Italy brand was Martina Couture of Ms.Martina Grisolia. The garments she makes have a fabulous oomph factor!!! Made of silk jacquard taffeta, satin, georgette, lace etc, she makes dresses, gowns, wedding gown, mom & daughter identical sets. Her cuts were sexy and make every woman's body very very flattering like extra flap with bustier, skater dress flares etc. With minimal and very aesthetic embellishments like woven fabric ribbons, flowers of same fabric with burnt edges, leather & crochet florals, etc she hits the nail!!

Remember the wedding jewelry by Lily and Rose in the last post? Here's her wedding clothes mostly done with handmade laces, its all couture!!!

Ardent & Co was another brand that was pretty interesting. The fabrics and the cuts very much reminded me of renaissance styling! Esp this particular cape reminded of the outfit depicted in 'Arnolfini Wedding' by Jan Van Eyck!!! The velvets, the flared cuts, some fur & jacquard detailing, its all very classic and Renaissance-ic!!!

Aquascutum is more than a century old brand which boasts as the first every developers of the classic trench coats and till date they product the gorgeous trench coats in all trendy styles, cuts and colors. Not just trench coats, but a lot of outerwear. This particular tweed jacket with fringed detailing along the buttonhole placket & pockets was pretty interesting!

S for Shoko is a brand new brand from Japan, just launched in London, with lovely, colorful, printed dresses. But what attracted me the most in her collection was this multi tone pink, red & aqua tweed jackets!!! Aren't they just stunning??!!! Though a Japanese brand, the products are very much made in England!!!

Yet another Italian brand here was Cettina Bucca. Most of her fabrics are from Sicily and most of her garments had a costume-ic feel about them. Many had a feather detailing and frilly, flouncy cuts that were super stylish!!!
...and that wraps Scoop London on my blog. Oopss.. I almost forgot!!! Coming back soon with what I wore for various events across LFW!!!

After shoes and bags and other accessories here are the fine jewellery at Scoop London. Not necessarily fine jewelry, but also statement chunky jewelry...

The cutest brand of jewelry I saw was Nach from Italy! The jewelry are made of porcelain. I mean seriously, look at those rings.... And look that exquisite Laughing Buddha earrings and a variety of big cat earrings. Just super cute and exquisite, aren't they??!!!

Nani & Co is also an Italian brand of handmade jewelry. She makes jewelry out of clay, resin, cardboard, plastic and metal as well. So most of her jewelry are big and chunky and statement jewelry, yet super light weight which totally took me aback. The golden color gives a mental preset that it would be heavy, but when she handed them over to me, it was almost completely weightless (paper-weight??!!!).

Stella Marina is also an Italian brand of Jewelry which makes classic, renaissance styled jewelry pieces. They're made of engraved shell which are circular or oval and are set in jewelry, which are very similar to the jewelry from paintings of renaissance era! Some of the jewelry are modern as well like balloons, hearts etc, but most are classic cameos. Best part, they customize these cameos. You can even get your face done or your loved one's engraved of shell and wear as jewellery!!!

Cabinet Jewelry is by Gemma from England and she makes some gorgeous fine jewelry. Esp her love birds earrings are so perfect. One of the rings even looked like the authentic South Indian 7-stone jewelry.

Nadia Minkoff is also an English brand that's mainly into bags but they also make fine jewelry. Two that caught my attention were a stone jewelry with Hamsa shape cut stones and another design was of regular emerald cut stones which were overlaid with printed film with hollow designs making the sparkle to follow a pattern!!!

Lily and Rose Zetterberg Couture is a brand of Bridal gowns, esp handmade lace bridal gowns (will share more about that in the upcoming post). To go with those, the brand also retails bridal jewelry - sparkly, glittery, simple & elegant wedding jewellery...

2 other brands of fine jewelry with semi precious and precious stones, filigree work and a hint of asymmetric designs were Xtra Star and Neola from England. Elegance and exquisiteness wrapped in every piece of jewelry, simplicity with a hint of sparkle and a dash of fun and subtle colors!!!
