Shades of GreyAlexander Wang - PreProving that sometimes things are not simply black and white, many designers sidelined the chiaro-scuro palette of their spring/summer 2013 collec-tions and indulged in every shade of grey. Alexander Wang (marl), Chanel (charcoal), Narciso Rodriguez (slate), Bottega Veneta (wood pigeon) and Calvin Klein (concrete) all chalked the slate, while models at Pringle were dressed in that school girl staple – grey woollen tights.

Get LeatheredNarciso Rodriguez - PreLeather will be everywhere come summer. Black leather, to be precise. An extension of spring/summer 2013’s un-seasonal fascination with black, pitch leather dominated many collections: Burberry, Derek Lam, Belsta" and Al-exander Wang focused on strict tailored separates, while Zac Posen and Bottega Veneta’s Tomas Maier worked the skin into surprising feminine silhouettes, replete with cinched waists, peplums and pussy bows. Tory Burch even embroidered a folksy Navaho jacket.

In !e SwagHelmut Lang - PreTraditionally the handwrit-ing of Parisian couture houses, expert drapery is a hard-to-master technique. But executed in jersey and silk, the swagged dresses of the coming season have an easy-going insouciant feel. Shorter styles at DKNY and Jason Wu were teamed with leather biker jackets – new ‘model o" duty’ uniform alert - while at ICB, Prabal Gu-rung tucked and ruched vest dresses to add volume. Helmut Lang’s asymmetric degradé gown o"ered a modern solu-tion for e"ortless eveningwear.

Ankle-Anchored TrousersPrabal Gurung - Pre!e big news in trouser shapes is the tapered peg. Not entirely enticing on paper, in reality the shape #atters all $gures; reveal-ing the ankle – the leg’s most elegant part - and slimming the leg with a centre crease (al-though practice caution with volume-adding pleats). Erdem, Etro, Michael Kors and Tem-perley London all showed neat examples, although Vera Wang’s #oral brocade version was one of the prettiest.

Great LengthsChristopher Kane - Pre!ere is nothing whimsi-cal or wa%y about the new #oor-sweeping hemline; dispelled are visions of trip-ping over your broderie anglaise in corn$elds – these gowns are impactful, seri-ous and streamlined. Donna Karan – for whom dressing serious, impactful women is second nature – slashed modal dresses up to there and necklines to the navel. Christopher Kane showed a #oral version with a sweet T-shirt top but the result was less demure, more a modern and uncomplicated way of going long. !e arbiter of drama, Zac Posen, made his backless for magni$ed wow-factor, and added sleeves that billowed like sails. Erdem, J.Mendel, Tucker and Rachel Zoe – who is rarely seen in anything shorter than pavement-grazing, proving long can work on diminutive statures – also adopted sleek longer lengths.

!e Grown-Up T-ShirtProenza Schouler - PreEveryone knows by now that pre-collections are centred on trans-seasonal dressing, crammed with pieces that will bridge all weather and situations, and e"ortlessly $ll those ward-robes gaps between directional investments. What could claim to have more pull-on appeal than your favourite T-shirt? Well, it just got a fabulous grown-up make-over and now it’s o&ce and evening ready. In embossed leather, high-tech neoprene, printed silk and lace panels or oil-slick sheen, the best came by way of Christopher Kane, Proenza Schouler, Reed Krako", !eyskens’ !eory and 3.1 Phil-lip Lim. Serious wear now, wear anywhere appeal.

Tailor BoyReed Krako" - Pre!e joy of masculine tailor-ing is that it instantly gives an e"ect of being pulled together, yet is deceivingly simple to wear. !row on an expertly tailored black blazer over a white T-shirt and your look is trans-formed from o"-duty to Very On. With the correct $t, miracles can also be worked with leg lengthen-ing, waist slimming and arm trimming. Invest in quality fabrics and cut. Look to Helmut Lang, Reed Krako", Narciso Rodri-guez, and Olivier !ey-skens’ iridescent o"ering at !eory and you can’t go wrong.

Pencil CaseCalvin Klein Collection - Pre!ey come either in demi-stretch fabrics that skim the body in a tulip shape, with an artfully positioned fold or pleat to accentuate the waist - see Donna Karan, Gucci and Alexander Wang – or straight up and down, falling just below the knee (care of Burb-erry, Tory Burch and Pringle). Calvin Klein’s Francisco Costa made the clever addition of a double vent to his pencil skirts to allow more movement while retaining the column shape. How modern.

City Safari3.1 Phillip Lim - PreAnimal print has been snaking around for a few seasons now, but this time designers travelled via the city for their trip to Af-rica. Prints of every plains animal were intermixed with urban jungle staples of sportswear, tailoring and covetable accessories. Burberry showed gira"e, while python prints ap-peared at Ports 1961, Christopher Kane and Reed Krako". !ere was leopard at 3.1 Phillip Lim, Gucci and Just Cavalli as well as Timo Weiland and Tucker, cheetah at Jenni Kayne, tiger print at Juicy Couture, and even lemur stripes from Jason Wu.

Board MeetingDKNY - PreBy the time these clothes reach the shop #oor, our thoughts will be concerned with impending summer holidays whilst trying to navigate ever demand-ing work schedules. In an optimistic - and generous - endeavour to bring some holiday spirit to the o&ce, designers re-appropriated board shorts, streamlin-ing cuts and raising hip-slung waist bands. DKNY’s look as good with a blazer as they will with a black sweatshirt and vertiginous heels - as will Rachel Zoe and Wayne’s. For a looser, tailored cut, cast your eyes to Bottega Veneta, Band of Outsiders, Christopher Kane and Ports 1961.

English Cyber GardenErdem - Pre Florals show no sign of wilting, and for autumn/winter 2013-14 design-ers plucked the blooms of an English country garden – and plugged them into the mains. Erdem’s #oral mirage oscillated between saturated paillettes and a colourful bouquet. Elsewhere, Carolina Herrera’s technicolour rosebushes, Christopher Kane’s bewitchingly shimmery pansies, Vera Wang’s electrifying me-tallic blossom brocades, Naeem Khan’s appliquéd Perspex daisies and Honor’s screen-printed meadow #owers made up a $eld of dreams.

It takes something special to get fashion’s more jaded tongues to start wagging and Uma Wang has it. !e designer, who emerged seem-ingly from the shadows this season with a near-visionary collection of directional knit pieces, many by hand, has even “seen-it-all” industry-insiders a little stunned – and a lot excited. She also has them fooled, as this is no new-comer to the fashion scene. Wang put in 10 years designing clothes for var-ious Chinese labels before launching her own in 2005, and with a few key dots con-nected along the way, seems now on an un-stoppable tra-jectory toward “overnight suc-

cess” – 15 years in the making. One such “dot” that connected was when Anna Wintour, Vogue’s legendary ed-itor in chief, met up with Wang dur-ing her visit to China last November. When arguably the most powerful woman in fashion comes knocking, you must be doing something right. Wang studied her cra% at China

Textile Uni-versity in Shanghai, and London’s Central Saint Martins, re-spectively, but her real edu-cation came when an early employer sent her to “a knit-ting factory”, as she calls it, to learn the ins & outs of the knitwear trade through a rigorous, almost labor camp-like experience. When I ask her to elabo-rate, she re-veals “I was living in the factory for a

while. It wasn’t a very nice place and working long hours every day..”, but immediately follows the recollection with a statement of grati-tude: “When I look back, this was one of the most important periods in my life and I treasure it.

She goes on to point out how the investment taught her “all the knowledge about di"erent yarns, di"erent ma-chines, all the steps from the start to the $nishing of a garment. It was really amazing for me to be able to see and learn the whole process.” Indeed, what the young designer learned during her ‘factory days’ became instrumental in developing and personalizing her own unique knitting techniques, which she employs to great visual e"ect. !is is what distinguishes Uma Wang’s work from the pack. Her pieces have tremendous presence. A sense of whimsy underscores even the boldest, simplest silhouettes – and a keen eye for turning unlikely fabric combinations into textural landscapes that manage to communicate both strength and fragility in the same breath is where she excels. Working primarily in top-grade cashmere yarns and other such high-end materials sourced from vari-ous textile fairs around the world is another point of di"erence. All work is done in-house at the designer’s Xintiandi district atelier in Shanghai, where a single piece may take several days to complete. China has yet to shake its stereotype for poor qual-ity/fast turnaround fashion, and Wang seems deter-mined to change that. A%er last month’s win of Audi’s Progressive Designer Award for 2011, all bets are on Wang to become China’s $rst major fashion designer of international caliber. If the success of last year’s award recipient, Phillip Lim, o"ers up any clues, get ready to start hearing – and seeing – a lot more from this in-credibly talented designer.

FASHION COLLECTISONFERRAN GARCIA SEVILLA

CONVERSE

Spanish painter Ferran Garcia Sevilla

is a collector of images. His eclectic pictorial style draws on his travels in the Middle East, and on comic books, urban gra&ti, philosophy and Eastern cultures, resulting in great sensuous open spaces in which everything blends together, both in terms of iconography and ideas. His raw, colourful, primitive canvases are o%en peppered with caustic, hand-scrawled commentaries on life and politics. !ese paintings display the use of automatism, playfulness and #at symbols, and $gures #oating over solid ground. Turning to ancient and non-Western sources, he has long employed religious symbols – the hand, circle, tree, triangle and cross. His aim is to empower and also challenge these charged forms, not to trivialise them. !e exhibition includes major bodies of work including the Deus series, 1981, works previously shown at Documen-ta VIII, 1988, alongside new works from the artist’s studio.Ferran Garcia Sevilla Born in Palma de Mallorca in 1949, Ferran Garcia Sevilla lives and works in Barcelona. Major international exhibitions include Foundation Cartier, Paris, 1997; IVAM, Valencia, 1998; Malmo Konsthall, 1998; Museo Nacional Cen-tro de Arte Renia Sofía, Madrid, 2001; and more recently exhibitions at Galería Joan Prats, Barcelona, 2007, and Galería Fúcares, Madrid, 2008.

!e exhibition is co-produced by the Irish Museum of Modern Art in collaboration with Patio Herreriano, Museo de Arte Contemporáneo Espanol, Valladolid, Spain, where it will be shown from 2 October 2010 to 9 January 2011.

1908–1941: Early days

In his late 30s, Marquis Mills Converse, who was previously a respected manager at a footwear manufacturing $rm, opened the Converse Rubber Shoe Company (unrelat-ed to the Boston Rubber Shoe Company founded by fourth cousin Elisha Converse) in Malden, Massachusetts in February 1908. !e company was a rubber shoe manu-facturer, providing winterized rubber soled footwear for men, women, and children. By 1910, Converse was producing 4,000 shoes daily, but it was not until 1915 that the company began manufacturing athletic shoes for tennis.

!e company’s main turning point came in 1917 when the Converse All-Star bas-ketball shoe was introduced. !en in 1921, a basketball player named Charles H. “Chuck” Taylor walked into Converse complaining of sore feet. Converse gave him a job. He worked as a salesman and ambassador, promoting the shoes around the Unit-ed States, and in 1932 Taylor’s signature was added to the All Star patch on the classic, high-topped sneakers. He continued this work until shortly before his death in 1969.

Converse also customized shoes for the New York Renaissance (the “Rens”), the $rst all-African American professional basketball team. On March 2, 1962, Wilt Chamber-lain, an American basketball player for the Philadelphia Warriors, scored 100 points in a game while wearing his pair of Chucks, taking a 169–147 victory over the New York Knicks.1941–present: War, bankruptcy, and new management

When the U.S. entered World War II in 1941, Converse shi%ed production to manu-facturing rubberized footwear, outerwear, and protective suits for the military. Widely popular during the 1950s and 1960s, Converse promoted a distinctly American image with its Converse Yearbook. Artist Charles Kerins created cover art that celebrated Converse’s role in the lives of high school and college athletes.Converse Jack Purcells

!rough its shoes, Converse developed into an iconic brand, and came to be seen as the essential sports shoe. In the 1970s, Converse purchased the trademark rights to Jack Purcell sneakers from B.F. Goodrich.

Converse is an American shoe company that has been making shoes, lifestyle fashion and ath-letic apparel since the early 20th century.

Converse lost much of its ap-parent near-monopoly from the 1970s onward, with the surge of new competitors, including Puma and Adidas, then Nike, then a decade later Reebok, who intro-duced radical new designs to the market. Converse found themselves no longer the o&cial shoe of the National Basketball Association, a title they had relished for many years. While being employed at Converse, one of its employees, Jim Labadini (1968-78), created the chevron and star insignia / logo that still remains on most Con-verse footwear items that are not classic Chuck Taylors.

!e loss of market share, combined with poor business decisions, forced Converse to $le for bankruptcy on January 22, 2001. In April 2001, Footwear Acquisitions, led by Mardsen Cason and Bill Simon, purchased the brand from bankruptcy and added industry partners Jack Boys, Jim Stroesser, Lisa Kempa, and David Maddocks to lead the turnaround of America’s Original Sports Company.

!e new team drove Converse from the 16th largest footwear company to number 7 in less than 2 1/2 years, leading to a buyout by rival Nike on July 9, 2003 for $305 mil-lion, qualifying as the merger and acquisition of the year in 2003.

Converse has become a fashionable shoe of choice for many celebrities including Wil-low Smith, Drew Barrymore, Demi Lovato, and Kristen Stewart, who wore them on the red carpet.By November 2012 Converse had quickly disappeared completely from the NBA, fa-cilitated by the last dozen players wearing the brand exiting it and/or the NBA over a period of less than a year and a half. Carlos Arroyo and Acie Law went overseas (and Law switched to Nike) in late 2011. JJ Barea and Kirk Hinrich were former long-time endorsers who switched to Nike during the course of the 2011-2012 season. Maurice Evans last played for the Washington Wizards in April 2012. Luke Harangody (waived by the Cleveland Cavaliers on 29 November 2012) and Larry Sanders switched to Nike a%er the 2011-2012 season. Chris Andersen was waived by the Denver Nuggets on 17 July 2012. Long-time endorsers Elton Brand, Louis Williams, and Kyle Korver switched to Nike for the 2012-2013 season. Udonis Haslem, the last NBA player wear-ing Converse on the court, followed Dwyane Wade to switch to Li-Ning in late No-vember 2012.
