Style Inspiration: TCN F/W 2011

I have many favourites from this season's Madrid Fashion Week. Let's start with the TCN collection. TCN is known for its lingerie and bodysuits, but they also design nice outwear.

The fall collection is a mix between Isabel Marant, Oysho and Band of Outsiders. I think the whole concept is very lovely, feminine and chic, I'd actually wear most of the clothes. The coats are on my wishlist already, and also the red shoes.

Juanjo Oliva S/S 2011

Between the "Groundhog Day" feeling that Madrid Fashion Week has exuded this season, there's one exception to remark: Juanjo Oliva's collection. In fact, he described Madrid Fashion Week as a boring "Groundhog Day" when we talked during the presentation of the Pro Fashion 3 Women 3 Projects. This initiative taken by Las Rozas Village will award the best three business projects (shops, ateliers, brands, etc) conceived by women from Madrid, related to fashion. An exemplary way of celebrating their 10th Anniversary. We don't need more parties, we have one almost everyday! Juanjo Oliva chairs the jury, with Carolina Herrera, Carla Royo-Villanova, amongst others. We already know the 10 finalists.

Going back to Juanjo Oliva. Between the monotonous and repetitive shows, there are a few designers you can always trust. Juanjo Oliva is one of them. I underlined his show on the schedule. As I knew, he didn't disappointed me. Bright colours, play with different materials, elegance, good taste... This is fashion!

My favourite looks: the plastic jackets and skirts and the long and super elegant dresses. Don't miss the chicken print of the maxi scarf.

Entre la sensación de "El Día de la Marmota" que nos ha dejado Cibeles esta edición, hay una excepción a destacar: la colección de Juanjo Oliva. De hecho, él mismo definió Cibeles como un aburrido "Día de la Marmota" cuando charlamos con él en la presentación de Pro Fashion 3 Women, 3 Projects. Esta iniciativa que organiza Las Rozas Village premiará a los mejores tres proyectos de empresas (tiendas, talleres, marcas, etc) elaborados por mujeres de la Comunidad de Madrid, relacionados con la moda. Una manera ejemplar de celebrar el 10ºAniversario de Las Rozas Village. No hacen falta fiestas, ¡en el mundo de la moda hay una cada día! Juanjo Oliva preside el jurado formado por Carla Royo-Villanova, Carolina Herrera, entre otros. Mary McCartney es la imagen del proyecto. Ya se conocen a las 10 finalistas.

Volviendo a Juanjo Oliva. Entre los desfiles monótonos y repetitivos siempre hay unos pocos diseñadores en los que puedes confiar. Juanjo Oliva es uno de ellos. Redondeé su desfile entre el horario para no perdérmelo. Y como esperaba, no me defraudó. Colores alegres, juego con los materiales, elegancia, buen gusto... ¡Esto sí es moda!

Mis looks favoritos: las prendas en plástico de colores, y los vestidos largos elegantísimos. No os perdáis el estampado de gallinas del maxi pañuelo-capa.

Juanjo Oliva and Marina Pérez
