    La Perla For release: 09/February/2017 803 Madison Ave, New York, NY 10065 Contact: Zehra Ahmad Phone No: (212) 459-2775 LA PERLA PRESENTS FALL/WINTER 2017 READY-TO-WEAR COLLECTION New York - February 9th, 2017 - For her second season as creative director, Julia Haart created a beautiful stage for La Perla’s Fall 2017 debut at New York Fashion Week. And with it we see the many possibilities for combining the very separate worlds of ready-to-wear and luxury intimate wear. Floral blooms, ivy everywhere, perfumed moss, flowers flow throughout the windows of the two-story and six rooms called the “La Perla Manor”, where the models are arranged and sat on couches before they walked, one by one on the runway. “I was inspired by the British garden as interpreted by artists throughout history”, said Haart. The designer made a visual the artistic interpretation of British gardens across six sections of a British manor. MORE La Perla FW17 2 Her concept was nature that is viewed by a human being with vibrant color, fierceness, and sensuality. The music was a rock and roll alternative to show the vibrant side the designer wanted to showcase. Haart worked floral motifs throughout her luscious lineup with a galore burst of color and texture. The looks capture a spirit of joyful spunk. Naomi Campbell opens the show in a blue silk and lace slip dress under a macramé-embroidered tweed coat. The texture of the tweed coat shows it’s heavy and durable side which gives a message of strength and masculinity.

  • Created by Karl Lagerfeld
    Pirelli: in Moscow presenting the 2011 calendar, “MYTHOLOGY”, created by Karl Lagerfeld Moscow, 30 November 2010 – Today in Moscow, the 2011 Pirelli Calendar, now it its 38th edition, was presented to the world’s press and to other guests and collectors from around the world. The event was held at the prestigious Stanislavsky and Nemirovich-Danchenko theatre, which has, over the course of more than 90 years, been the site of operas and ballets that have become a part of the nation’s artistic heritage. After Patrick Demarchelier immortalised China in the 2008 edition, Peter Beard drew a portrait of Botswana in 2009, and Terry Richardson covered Brazil in 2010, “The Cal 2011” features the creative genius of the multi-faceted artist Karl Lagerfeld, whose sense for art and aesthetics is renowned throughout the world. From his Paris studio, Lagerfeld created “Mythology”, a calendar that reflects one of his deepest passions, that of Greek and Roman mythology, tales of the origins of humanity told through the adventures of gods and goddesses, heroes and heroines. On a voyage back through time transported by the universal language of photography, “Mythology” takes us to the roots of classical civilisation and takes the Pirelli Calendar back to the Old World, where nearly 140 years ago a company was born that was to become a multinational organisation with operations in over 160 nations around the world. The 36 photos that make up the 2011 Calendar show 24 different subjects, including gods, heroes and myths. With his keen eye, Lagerfeld has ‘sculpted’ these photos both in terms of their aesthetic rigour and for the recurring references to the art of sculpture and its classical tenets.
