SHOWROOM EDELWEISS 2013

This weekend was dedicated to F.A.S.H.I.O.N. in Geneva !

Thanks to Edelweiss Magazine who organized a showroom at the Hotel Tiffany (rue de l'Arquebuse 20) where you could meet all that VERY talented designers.

It was such a great weekend. We started on Friday, with a blogger/professional drink where we met Yasmine from MINE VANDER. She was SO lovely, we loved her so much! She's an illustrator/designer, draws for Femina (and many more) and is about to start her 3rd book already ! We wish her all the best and hope we will meet her again !

We had a glass of champagne, talked with our beloved Vanessa H. from Edelweiss Magazine who introduced us to Nicole Rupp from L'Oréal Paris (be patient, we will take about her later ☺), then we ran through L'Evento restaurant where there was a party for the Prix Lily which is rewarding a price to a designer for his work. And the winner is..... RS HADER ! Congrats to them (it's two cute girls, one is redhead and the other is a brunette) ! Remember Summy wore one of their piece for the Edelweiss Style-Lab, it was that skeleton shirt that we love so much ! 

 

L'Evento is such a cute place where all the waitresses were kind and looking after us to feel good. We ate some shrimps risotto, tomato gnocchi, red tuna tartare, cherry tomato with honey and sesame (that was DELICIOUS) and grisini with Parma ham. We could tell you that the champagne was flowing AND amazing. All the Edelweiss Magazine's staff was amazing and caring after us (thanks to Fabio, Virginie, Jérôme, Claudio and Tristan). We felt very blessed and we want to thank them for that !

For the story, when we wanted to pick up our car to go back at home, we couldn't because there was a bomb alert (yes, even in Switzerland that happens). The police closed the street where our car was and we weren't able to go there. We had to wait 2 hours and the policeman told us "Go grab a drink !" (good tip hugh!). Hopefully, we could go back at home without any problem, because there wasn't ANY bomb in fact ! What a loss of time !

We woke up on saturday, ready to face a new fashion day. We took the train to Geneva where we met with a friend of our, Raffaella. We visited the showroom and as usual we loved so much that place where it's so comfy and original to see the designer's work. But sometimes, it was a bit difficult to move through the rooms or even into them because there was a LOT of people. However we managed our way ☺

Autumn bought a cute geometric necklace from FLAMINGO JEWELLERY. We loved each pieces of her collection. You definitely gotta see it ! It's a mix between gems, chain and crystal. The colors are bright and can be worn  at any time, from summer til' winter. 

For the Edelweiss Style-Lab, Autumn was wearing a kind of "marble" pullover / long sleeves top from BERENIK. We loved to see her entire collection and the pieces were so amazing. The fabric was beautiful. 

We loved so much the pattern and designs from IDA GUT (look at her office ! it's amazing !). There was some of her pieces at the Style-Lab but it was too hard to choose between all of them. Plus, her lookbook is RAD ! 

TRUMPET BY MEISTER was there too! We saw her new collection S/S 2014 and we definitely want to have it all ! She was inspired by swiss chocolate, pearls and glitter. IT'S TIME TO SHINE is the perfect name for her collection ! She made some fake chocolate and topped them with pearls and everything that we need to shine, then she printed those shiny chocolate on the fabric and made some bags, dresses and everything ! Such a cool idea !!

BAIES D'ERELLE and VIVA FRIDA were sharing a room. Viva Frida is so cute, all their clothes make you travel throught the time and eras. There are various fabric as silk, cotton and many more. Baies d'Erelle presented her jewelry collection. It's a mix between chunky chain and gems, old gold and silver. She called her collection "Hecate, queen of the dark moon", we loved it so much as some wannabe witch AHAH ! It's so spiritual and bewitching.

LITTLE BLACK DRESS - as usual - presented some AMAZING pieces as kind of holographic green and red dresses or silver jacket. When we saw the collection, it made us think about the 50's and all that crazy party that you had to be super dressed up. LBD's lookbook is so great because they created another timeless universe with that galactic layout.

And last but not least, please make a round of applause for the HEAD alumni: JEREMY GAILLARD ! This genius presented a collection with various leather, amazing pattern and high quality fabric. More than fashion, it's ART. Better: MASTER PIECES. No need to speak more about him. Just look at the pictures.
