ROMINA KARAMANEA S/S 11

This year I'm into prints in a big way, there are many designers doing print in the right way at the moment and one of my
favourites is Romina Karamanea.
Back when I met Romina at the Estethica Press Day held at Somerset House she expressed to me how happy she was with this collection, previously her collections had been reviewed as being very dark but she insisted she loves colour. Quite rightly proven in this collection for S/S 11, the marbled prints combined with the bright popping colours are stunning, whilst the cut leaves backs open, necks high and 
contrasts loose silhouettes with tighter to the body pieces.

Due to the amount of photos taken on the day and blogger telling me I've run out of space (is this a tumblr situation?), I've had to do a quick round up and i'll come back to the individual designers that caught my eye a little later. 
The Estethica Press Day was held in Somerset House' Portico Rooms, Yasmin Sewell did a great job in curating the event; there was cheese and wine, massage and make up, tenner singing and poetry reading; and of course all the designers and collections. Plenty to keep your attention and keep you hanging around for much longer than you needed too!
Ethical fashion has fast changed from hippy, unflattering outfits to high fashion covetable items. I was really impressed with the range of styles that were under one roof, whatever your style, there was something there for you.
These young designers are paving the way for a real fashion revolution.
