A Very #WarWornHalloween
Fashion – true fashion – is versatile. It is all about functionality, wearability (and to some extent, comfort), and transformation. The original concept behind prêt-a-porter is uniformity. Today’s fashion is also about personality; there is whimsy in the notions of personal street style and the novelties available for purchase in the market (think of fads and your go-to fashion items for the season). At this time of the year though, your ordinary fashions take a back seat with Halloween. The season is all about costumes of extraordinary proportion. I love Halloween but the day has become a Hallmark holiday where one poorly made, tacky outfit costs an arm and a leg, destined only to be worn once. Not to mention, contemporary Halloween outfitting is far from appropriate.

“In the regular world, Halloween is when children dress up in costumes and beg for candy. In Girl World, Halloween is the one night a year when a girl can dress like a total slut and no other girls can say anything about it.”

This Halloween, I’d like to invite you to bring back fashion. For the first time, War.Worn.Fashion introduces the concept of fashion DIY, the quintessential factor in daily dressing. In other words, we are talking about styling. Whether you make your own clothes or purchase them, styling can make or break your outfits. In my mind, fashion is about staples and styling them to multiple ways. Especially in this economy, fashion is meant to easily transform and create multiple looks for your wardrobe.

That is the concept behind War Worn Halloween, a photo shoot project featuring some amazing designers and some of New York City’s finest bloggers. The models, some members of The Bloggers’ Collective (a group I am proudly a part of) and rising classical music star, Adrianna Mateo, were photographed by New York City photographer (and dear friend of mine) Sasha Collins at Element Condominium. We’ve teamed up with Von Vonni and Alp Sagnak’s Atelier Minyon, two brands characterised by innovation and variation to create looks that can not only be worn as Halloween costumes but serve as examples of daily street style on ordinary occasions (for the extraordinary girl). The dresses the models are wearing are the same, regardless of their assigned archetype. “Costumes” are styled differently. For example, many of the dresses featured are Von Vonni Transformer dresses, which can be worn multiple ways – the perfect element for a transformational photo shoot. Equally as versatile, Atelier Minyon pieces are shown in both day-to-day outfit AND Halloween shots. While the jewellery makes an edgy statement, it is cryptic enough to display the wearer’s personality and be worn outside of special occasions (Ever heard of “it” accessories? Yeah, that’s what we mean)

Sally McGraw 'already pretty' wearing Von Vonni Cobalt Transformer!





"I wore this to meet a colleague at a cafe. The moment I walked in, a gent who looked like George Carlin and sounded like Sam Elliott said, “Well, that is just a lovely ensemble.” WIN.

Sometime over the summer, I saw a photo of a celeb in a mustard cardigan and cobalt maxi dress. I feel like it might’ve been Jessica Alba. Adding the burgundy/garnet accessories and shoes was my idea. It didn’t dawn on me until late in the day that I’d assembled a red, yellow, and blue outfit … although these are certainly alternate versions of the traditional primaries!"

Von Vonni Presentation review by Style Outlook





"If you have read my previous post you already know that Von Vonni presentation was another key event that opened Mercedes-Benz fashion week on Thursday. American designer Von Vonni presented his SS 2013 collection at Moscow department store TSUM. The runway show was replaced by what I would call a "stand up" show with models standing in front of the audience wearing very feminine silk maxi skirts and dresses, peplum tops, shirts with frills and mint-colored jackets. Despite the fact that I really loved this concept of the presentation because we got a closer look at the clothes, I felt very sorry for the models who remained almost motionless for more than 2 hours.

Von Vonni appeals to the Russian audience for a number of reasons. Firtsly, his beautiful and ethereal but absolutely wearable dresses are known for their contemporarty prices. Born in the former USSR and immigrated in the U.S.A in 1990 Von Vonni seems to know Russian audience quite well which makes it easier for him to satisfy Russian market demands. This was proved by the fact that the guests represented a very diverse crowd from fashion bloggers and buyers to "crème de la crème" of the Russian entertainment media.

Marika - MTV Russia VJ and fashion designer - told me that there are no Von Vonni clothes in her wardrobe yet but she hopes that it will change soon.
Although, answering the question about the place where it is the best to start a fashion brand, Von Vonni told me that despite his success in Moscow he still thinks that the U.S.A is the county of opportunities and he would choose it over any other counry in the world to start a business. But I would add that you are free to have your own opinion.


Some guests were wearing Von Vonni dresses. For example, Sophie - the author of Sophie's avenue blog and "Trendy Lab" TV show host- in the picture above. The photograph is taken from my friends' street style blog Nevskiy Podium."

Von Vonni Presentation Review






Roughly translated into english

One of the few designers who can build a wholly social event before the official start of the week, Von Vonni presented his new collection on the fourth floor of the Central Department Store to the sound set from the main fashion DJs country - Vitaly Kozak and Natalia Turovnikova - and in the presence of one hand extremely motley and on the other - truly Moscow guest suite. It was a place found everything from VJ designer Masha Kravtsova only Russian player to ever play for the first part of "Barcelona", Igor Korneev.
As a collection, consisting of short and long chiffon dresses reflected ethnic backgrounds and pledged commitment to the brightness (Armenian roots Von Vonni no dlyakogo not a secret), and insinuating, is an American company (originally from New York) for their own ability to find the most attractive ideas "packaging." In the latter role, this time made by pastel colors with a dominant light turquoise powder. Well, the first batch in the spring-summer 2013 got the three-color texture of fish scales, which Von Vonni equally skillfully incorporate both in dress and in the tops with sleeves "bat."

Original Russian

Один из немногих дизайнеров, способных собрать стопроцентное светское мероприятие еще до официального старта Недели, Von Vonni презентовал свою новую коллекцию на четвертом этаже ЦУМа под звуки сета от главных фэшн-диджеев страны – Виталия Козака и Натальи Туровниковой – и в присутствии с одной стороны необыкновенно разношерстного, а с другой - истинно московского набора гостей. В нем нашлось нашлось место всем: от виджея-дизайнера Маши Кравцовой до единственного русского футболиста, когда-либо игравшего за первый состав «Барселоны», Игоря Корнеева.
В самой коллекции, состоявший из коротких и длинных шифоновых платьев отразились и заложенное этническим бэкграундом стремление к яркости (армянские корни Von Vonni ни длякого не секрет), и вкрадчивое, истинно американское (бренд родом из Нью-Йорка) умение найти для собственных идей максимально привлекательную «упаковку». В роли последней на сей раз выступили пастельные тона с доминирующим светло-бирюзовым цветом пудры. Ну, а первая партия в коллекции Весна-Лето 2013 досталась трехцветной фактуре рыбной чешуи, которую Von Vonni одинаково умело инкорпорировал как в платья, так и в топы с рукавами «летучая мышь».

Only a few units available on the web at ♥ http://www.vonvonni.com/index.php/new-arrivals/von-vonni-aphrodite-sequined-gown-gold.html

Once they are sold - no more will be made.









Interview with Von Vonni! (with Russian Translation)




Von Vonni is a famous designer from New York, but was born in the former USSR. With a natural affinity for fashion, as a child his imagination ran wild as he drew up creations for his mother and grandmother. These sketches eventually manifested into reality as he constructed clothing from any materials he could find — including, much to his parents dismay, the curtains from the living room.
He doing fashion shows in Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week New York and take respect . He always welcome in Russia. He really have many fans his dresses. In Russia he doing own fashion shows in Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Russia. And in soon he will doing presentation with a new collection 17th of October, at Tsum Moscow ( Petrovka 2) at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Russia.
Therefore, Maria and Iness were happy to talk to Vaughn before the show and ask him a few questions. Now, we await his arrival to celebrate with a glass of champagne!

Вон Вонни является известным дизайнером из Нью-Йорка, но родился в бывшем СССР. От природы ему досталась любовь к моде, с самого раннего детства его воображение бегало, когда он наблюдал за творчеством его матери и бабушки. Воспоминания из детства проявляются и сейчас в его работах и эскизах. Маленький Вон в детстве мог построить одежду из любых материалов, которые он мог найти - в том числе, к ужасу родителей подручными средствами для нового платья стали занавески из гостиной.
Он делал показы мод на Нью-Йорской Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week и заслужил уважение. Вон всегда желанный гость в России. У его платьев действительно очень много поклонниц. В России Вон делает собственные показы мод в рамках Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week России. И в скором времени будет дпредставлена презентация его новой коллекции в ЦУМе (Петровка, 2) 17 октября на Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Russia.
Поэтому, белки были счастливы пообщаться с Воном накануне и задать ему пару вопросов. А теперь ждут его приезда, чтобы отпраздновать успех за бокалом шампанского!

1. Name
Von

Имя
Вон


2. What made you become a fashion designer?
I loved fashion and clothing all my life and started sketching since i was 3, so the decision was very easy and organic.

Как пришел к мысли стать дизайнером?
Я любил моду и одежду с самого детства! И начал создавать эскизы, когда мне было еще три года. Так что мыль стать дизайнером пришла очень легко. И мне кажется, что это было очевидно с самого начала.


3. Do you remember your first fashion show? Justifiable to expectations?
Of course i remember the very first show of my company, it was only 3 years ago and i was very nervous and worked 2 days without sleep the day before the show.


Помнишь ли ты свой первый показ, подготовку к нему. Оправдались ли ожидания?
Конечно помню свой самый первый показ своей коллекции! Это было всего лишь три года назад, и я очень нервничал и работал двое суток без сна накануне своего показа.


4. Do you have thoughts of remaking/fixing existing collection? Is there a limit to perfection?
This happened a few times with me, i would not say it is to make things perfect, but to show something that you believe in 100% and very confidant, mostly it is about design, not about the execution of the garment.

Появляется ли желание переделать/исправить уже готовые коллекции? Есть ли предел совершенству?
Такое случалось со мной несколько раз. Я не хочу сказать именно о идеальной вещи, но о показе своего сто процентного видения дизайна, в который ты веришь - это очень важно. Очень хочется показать именно дизайн, а не вещь.



5. What fabrics and materials do you prefer to use in your collections?
For von Vonni collection we use silk fabrics like chiffon, charmuse, wools and wool blends, novelty laces and fancy embroideries.

Какие ткани и материалы ты предпочитаешь использовать для создания своих коллекций?
Для коллекций Вон Вонни мы используем шелк, шифон, атлас, шерсть и полушерстяные, кружево и вышивки с узорами.


6. Your dresses always very womanly and "flying". Who is your muse?
She is the woman who likes to dress up, lives her life with joy and fun, and does not take fashion too seriously.


Твои платья всегда очень женственные и "летящие". Какой образ женщины тебя вдохновляет на их создание?
Эта женщина, которая любит носить платья, живет своей жизнью с наслаждением и весельем, и не воспринимает моду слишком серьезно.


7. Over the last 5 years which dreams came true ? Plans for the future?
Oha! Well, my biggest dream was always to have my own brand and to probably sell it out of my bran store, this dream of mine came true, but i had no idea that it would come true on a level that i could not even dream of back then. there are a few plans for future, but i prefer to talk about them only when they are ready to be presented.

За последние 5 лет, что реально сбылось из твоих ожиданий? Планы на будущее?
Ох! Ну что же, моя самая большая мечта иметь свой собственный бренд и продавать вещи в собственном брендовом магазине исполнилась, но я тогда и понятия не имел, что она исполниться настолько! Тогда я даже не мог мечтать о таком, что имею сейчас. Есть несколько планов на будущее, но я предпочитаю о них говорить только тогда, когда они уже будут реализованы.



8. Your ideal working conditions
Very difficult for me to say, as i can work under different conditions, and usually i get bored of the same working routine, so its always changing for me.

Твои идеальные условия работы
Мне сложно сказать, какие для меня идеальные условия для работы. Я работаю абсолютно в разных условиях. И если все идет по одному кругу, то для меня это становится рутиной. Я предпочитаю, чтобы все постоянно менялось.


9. What are some online resources related to the fashion that you regularly visit?
Style.com and wwd.com. These are the only 2 that i check on daily bases.

Назови несколько интернет ресурсов, связанных с модой, которые ты регулярно посещаешь.
Style.com и wwd.com. Это единственные два сайта, который я посещаю ежедневно.


10. Will you present this year a new collection in Russia?
Yes, of course, our show will be on October 17th, at Tsum Moscow at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Russia.

В этом году будешь представлять свою новую коллекцию в России?
Да, конечно. Моя презентация будет 17 октября, в ЦУМ Москве в рамках Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Russia.


11. If I may ask, how much do your clothes cost and where can they be bought?
My most famous transformer dress is about 6000 rubles, this dress is very reasonably priced, and it is available at Tsum 4th floor, at Gum, and a few other boutiques in Moscow. My official web-site: www.vonvonni.com


Если не секрет, то сколько стоят твои платья и где можно их приобрести?
Мои самые известные платья-трансформеры стоят в районе шести тысяч рублей. Эта цена действительно оправдывает платье, и мои платья можно приобрести в ЦУМ, ГУМ и в нескольких других магазинах в Москве. Мой официальный сайт: www.vonvonni.com


12. Have you ever planned to create a capsule collection?
I have done and still do a capsule collections, i love this concept!

Планировал ли ты когда-нибудь создать капсульную коллекцию?
Я делал и буду продолжать делать капсульные коллекции. Люблю эту концепцую!

WAR.WORN.FASHION Review of SS'13 Collection





"The jet-set lifestyle is one many aspire to have but are not necessarily fortunate enough to have. Given the fact that one of the many societal functions of fashion is to transport and narrate, it comes as no surprise that resortwear silhouettes, colours, and prints enable designers to create clothing that takes us abroad. International designer Von Vonni takes us from New York City to the French Riviera with his Spring/Summer 2013 collection. From the epicentre of fashion in what is New York’s Garment District (where he and his team create affordable, Made in the USA high-end ready-to-wear for any occasion), we are transported to Saint Tropez with nude lips, sultry purple smokey eyes, and ‘70’s flair fashions reverent to Yves Saint Laurent.

Set at the Norwood in Chelsea, the juxtaposition between modernity and nostalgia (seen alone in the architecture and décor of the site of the presentation), masculine and feminine notions, warm and cool colours, and European and American design aesthetic were very evident. Dusty, mute pastels (rust, creams, mints, rose, and powder blue) were set off by a vibrant, tropical chevron print. Key motifs included jabot/pussy bow details, peplums, gathers, and cuffs; the standout pieces were a twill skater dress, triple-peplum twill blazer, silk wrap dresses (a Von Vonni signature), and of course, the white lace embroidered wedding gown (modeled by a previous contestant on ANTM - bonus points if you remembered that her name is Eugena) with subtle tones of canary yellow.

The question now: where will Von Vonni take us next?"
