Walk the Walk: Saint Hollywood by Uta Bekaia Collection

Saint Hollywood by Uta Bekaia collection was another runway show I could not use the regular Walk the Walk format since it was a artistic collection (you know, these pieces cannot be worn on the street much).

The pieces in this collection were very dramatic and they were definitely some cool costumes. I loved the creativity design of the pieces and the whole collection gave me a funky circus feeling. Uta Bekaia had definitely given the audience a fun and entertaining show! What do you think?

April 2011 Memories

This is truly another spectacular month and we cannot believe how much support we have received from the arts and fashion industry. For that, we just want to say a BIG THANK YOU. Now, let's get back to this April memory...

For our [Un]Discovers segment, we have quite a number of features. First off, we have a pop group named Ultraviolet Sound which we are in love with their songs. Then we have a Cor Sine Labe Doli, an accessory brand we really like at the moment. To round off the month, we have a special feature on a website called Clothes on Films.

Of course, since we are doing collaboration posts with FAT, we have 4 [Un]Discovers that are specific for this event. We have featured four amazing fashion designers this year and they are Zanete Auzina, Anastasia Lomonova, Zita Pop and Saint Hollywood by Uta Bekaia. Anne Cayer, the winner of |FAT| contest back in February, has also contributed 1 entry to us and it is the interview with Kelleth Cuthbert. We really hope you enjoy those entries as they are some amazing talented designers/artists.

As for the Swide department, we have done some amazing features on some artists for this month. The artists include fashion illustrators Michael Sanderson and Connie Lim, and abstract art artist Ryan Rader.

Lisa Nishimura continues to amaze us with her great fashion illustrations and this month she has contributed 2 runway sets to us: Burberry F/W and VAWK F/W collections.

Last but not least, we have a new section called [Burberry] Rhythm. Each week, we are featuring one of the Burberry acoustic performances and the performances this month is Keane's Somewhere Only We Know. Did you also see our live coverage on the Burberry Beijing show? If not, you can click here and here for our review post.

Stay tuned for more amazing entries coming up in May!

[Un]Discovers: Saint Hollywood by Uta Bekaia

Uta Bekaia, the designer behind Saint Hollywood is our final designer to be featured on this blog for the FAT designer profile series. Uta Bekaia's design always has a very dramatic feeling and today I am lucky enough to be able to ask him some questions.

Hello Uta, thank you so much for letting me to feature you on this blog. So how did you become a fashion designer? When you were a child, did you dream about being a fashion designer?
As a child I actually really wanted to be archeologist, and find dinosaurs bone. I was addicted to dinosaurs and flowers, first word that I ever said was “beautiful”. As I grew up I went to art school, studied fine art and industrial design. My career in fashion began by chance when a friend, who organized avant-garde fashion festival in Tbilisi, asked me if I wanted to do fashion installation at the show. I was 17 at the time and the show was a big success. I got lots of attention and for me and I knew it was a sign...
