Rendez-vous Femme PARIS

New energy creative vision
Done in Belgrade

At Rendez-vous fair in Paris (www.rendez-vous-paris.com) four of Belgrade’s best fashion designers showed their collections together with two exclusive accessories designers, joined in Serbia’s showroom at Musée du Jeu de Paume

JELENA AND SVETLANA PROKOVIC/JSP

The inspiration for the JSP collection for spring/summer 2009 named “recyclique - recycle, cycle, clique” is an exclusive group of people who share interests, views, purposes and patterns of behavior or ethnicity.

TAMARA RADIVOJEVIC

Her collection spring/summer 2009 is inspired by men’s tailoring.

Stiffness of a men’s suit is melted down by fluid forms and the use of interesting fabric combination - silk charmeuse trousers with twisted front pleats, tuxido jackets made of metal organza , wrap and twisted jersey t-shirts and long wrap jumpers which look as if melting. the colors are gentle and feminine – neutral off-white palette , fruity pinks and corals and silver metalics. it is a cross between laid back-sports outfits and a tom-boy style.

SLAVNA MARTINOVIC

Martinovic mixes her love for vintage cuts and long forgotten art of hand crocheting and point lace with her Impeccable sense how to give it truly contemporary feel, so one gets the best of both worlds.

She works exclusively with finest silks; leather and cotton tread for the production of the lace. Every garment is hand crafted and finished. keeping in mind that the some of the crochet peaces take up to 150 hours to make entirely done by hand, explains why the designs will be produced and distributed only in limited editions.

The high point of Slavna Martinovic’s collection is the very distinctive line accessories. Keeping in spirits with her garments, the handbags, jewelry, belts and shoes are all limited edition small art pieces.

The hand crafted crystal jewelry is reminiscent of the fifties. Clusters of brightly colored luminous crystal twine together with tiny butterflies, ladybugs, flies and lizards.

The bags are very sculptural, made in contrasting texture leather; fun to wear they definitely are one of a kind chic.

ALEKSANDAR PROTIC

The starting point of his collection for “rendez-vous” is the importance of the black leather jacket in the late 60´s and 70´s as of a piece of wardrobe that defined , in a way, some artists and musicians. The collection is built on the sensibility and atmosphere around artists like Nico and Patty Smith. The materials used are mainly leather, silk georgettes and chiffon and the colors are black, grays and nude.

SANDRA JANKOVIC/DA LENA

The handbag is an unavoidable fashion accessory, the perfect form uniting and satisfying the creative cravings, the inherent beauty of ornamentation and utilitarian qualities.

“Looking towards excellence of craftsmanship, simplicity of form and justifying the purity of traditional motive”.

EVICA MILOVANOV PENEZIC

Art of gloves — her gloves are made in an old traditional way and are not mass produced. Leather is not cut out with a cutting die, but by hand, whereby care is taken that both gloves are cut from a single trank. The leather used for gloves is high-quality kid or lambskin with the right amount of strech.

These gloves differ from mass produced gloves not only by the quality of their production but also by their design. They are made either as a unique pair or as limited designer series.
