In feverish anticipation of Maureen Disini’s first solo show on Aug. 24, fashion folk seem to be on the lookout for hints that may betray the designer’s collection.
In an attempt to learn a little more about the collection, we visited Disini’s studio and were introduced to a gorgeous set of characters: stark whites rendered in the daintiest of lace; a welcome surprise of feathers that populated another similarly lacy number; and an abundance of tulle.
She said that the show will be “a harmonious mix of prints, textures and patterns. You’ll also be seeing a lot of romantic full skirts and wasp waists.”
In light of Disini’s seeming departure from her known forms and silhouettes, we spoke to other key people involved in the creative process for next week’s event.
No fuss
Ariel Lozada, director
“This show is about a debut fashion collection for Maureen. The presentation is going to be direct to the point and almost a presentation in nature—no fuss, just straightforward.”
Gian Romano, stylist
“Expect to see what Maureen does best. It’s a showcase of femininity and the different types of Maureen Disini women.”
Gay Lao-Chen, MAC Cosmetics
“Maureen Disini’s bespoke elegance and curated couture reflect her classic and timeless aesthetic—qualities definitive of MAC’s “all ages, all races, all sexes” credo. Amplified by Inquirer RED’s vision for the urban sophisticate, the production will be a sartorial spectacle and MAC Cosmetics is more than thrilled to complete this team.”
The #REDxMaureenDisini Fashion Show is mounted by Inquirer RED Magazine, Hinge Inquirer Publications and HIP Events, in cooperation with the following partners: Charles & Keith, Salon Privat, MAC Cosmetics, Iphor Trading Incorporated and Azcor Lighting Systems.
