Introducing: Danny Tang

Danny Tang was born in Malaysia, where he excelled in Fashion studies and started working with a fashion designer when he was 16. He moved to London in 2004, where he attended London College of Fashion and worked as a succesful freelance designer and stylist. In 2009 he launched his label Danny Tang, initially a line of accessories, that was so popular that it led to designing a full clothing line.
His debut AW 10 collection was shown with the help of Vauxhall Fashion Scout and was a huge success. He now shows internationally at New York, London, Paris, Shanghai and Tokyo.
The SS 12 collection was inspired by Danny's travels through Japan. The sculptural designs were influenced by Japanese architecture. Danny Tang's signatures like texture, volume of fabrics and combinations of hard and soft outlines are well visible. All finished with delicate hand beading, the result is quite striking. Here are some pictures of outfits I loved at a press day, but make sure you check out DT's website too.
Have a stylish day.

Introducing: Tramp in Disguise

If you like colourful, fun, youthful clothes, you need to know about Tramp in Disguise. That is, if you haven't heard about this label already. Founded in 2010 by Finnish born Sini Moilanen, who got a BA in fashion textile design from University of Brighton and masters in knitwear from Royal College of Art. She loves colour and uses a lot of digital print, which is one of her signature. Her edgy designs caught the eye of Vauxhall Fashion Scout with whom she showed in Paris and London. It's all very impressive for such a new label. I'm going to be interviewing with her soon to see what she's up to next. Stay tuned.
Have a stylish day.
