Sinha-Stanic S/S 08 London

[SomethingElse]

The Designers: Croatian-born Aleksandar Stanic and British-born Fiona Sinha met while studying at Central St Martin’s and formed their company in 2004. They were highly acclaimed runners up in the first Fashion Fringe initiative and were immediately signed by the prestigious luxury Italian group Aeffe for a four year contract for sales, production and distribution. Their stockist line-up is growing gratifyingly fast.

The Collections: Their clothes are beautifully cut with an easy sophistication that is entirely modern and relaxed. This season their main collection will be based on longer, looser, draped silhouettes with an almost ‘grungey’ look. They are also launching a new collection of jersey dresses called ‘Sinha-Stanic Stretch’ at much lower price points that will be available three times a year.

The News: They have won the BFC Fashion Forward awards sponsored by Westfield London for the second time and were nominated in the Best New Designer category at the 2005 and 2006 British Fashion Awards.

Instant View: In over 40 stores world-wide including Harvey Nichols in London, Manchester and Leeds; Barneys in New York; Ikram in Chicago; Divine Girls in San Francisco; Milk in LA; George & Lisa in Toronto; L’Eclairer in Paris; Nordstrom throughout the USA; Dantone and Tad in Milan; Princess in Antwerp; Opium in Russia; Posh in Istanbul; Jean Pierre Bua in Barcelona; Lot 29 in Copenhagen; Lotte in Seoul.

I really like the shape and lines of the jackets. The one shoulder dresses are beautiful as well. The hair kind of detracts from the pieces, thought.

 

[freakin_viet]

"London Fashion Week SS08: Sinha-Stanic
Royal Academy of Arts, 6 Burlington Gardens, London W1S 3EX • 18 September/2007
Ah, Sinha-Stanic, where to start? A 40 minute delay had already caused the crowd to become a little twitchy and things didn’t improve when we reached the catwalk entrance only to be told 'sorry folks, we're full' by the main-man; a rather well-dressed Ray Winstone look-alike. I was unhappy to say the least but took comfort in the fact that I was surrounded by the chattering, slickly-groomed ladies of Elle and Vogue's very own Alexandra Shulman.
The push towards the door was pretty silly and I was glad to see the two Italian ladies who’d rugby tackled me out of the way to get to the front were the first to be refused. When you have security shouting 'GET BACK!! GET BACK!!' as the entrance wall begins to buckle over (nearly crushing the oblivious Ms Shulman) you can't help thinking 'is this all worth it?'. Well, we didn’t get to find out, instead being offered Option B; watching the show live on the 'Projection wall'. Hmmm, Fancy.
Although very much the consolation prize it was (just about) better than nothing. So, what have the London couple got to offer for SS08? Heavy Turquoise silk was the order of the day-in trouser suits, 50s swing coats (full marks for the matching rockabilly hair), updated shift dresses, both long and short length jackets and some nice pencil skirts. The fabric used throughout the collection kept a certain stiffness whilst allowing movement-especially on some of the fuller top pieces. The contrast of light and heavy really worked and their reinterpretations of some old classics were simple and fresh.
Burnt orange and muted silver made a brief appearance but it was their use of all-black on some gorgeous puffball skirts and sheer sleeveless shirts that really stood out, as well as some ‘blink or you’ll miss it’ leather. Lots of attention was paid to the waist, short boxy jackets, nipped in tulip dresses and deep-v necklines with contrasting panels. A difficult to fault collection *sigh* If only I could’ve seen it in person…"
