Spring/Summer 2010
If you’ve been following Pour Porter since the old days you’ll remember that I’ve been a longtime follower of Magda Berliner and I’ve posted quite a few times about her over the years. Well, time for another one! What initially attracted me to her pieces was the use of crochet lace and her characteristic loose and easy silhouettes. The Spring Summer 2010 collection is out and her signature crocheted dresses make an appearance along with a lot of layering and print that has a very Rachel Comey feel to it (both designers have always done the eclectic layering thing very well). Whereas S/S 10 is playful and varied, her A/W 10 collection is a bit more spare and minimal, which while not bad, doesn’t seem as true to the designer’s original aesthetic. Of course, in all fairness the A/W collection doesn’t completely eliminate those elements that have come define Berliner’s aesthetic and which I’ve always found particularly appealing. Plus, mixing one’s look up to keep things fresh isn’t necessarily a bad thing. There’s a drop-waist dress with a crocheted skirt and a few pieces with print like the leopard tank and shorts. Anyways, I’m glad she’s still producing collections, and will continue to look forward to the next. (Click pictures to enlarge)
Autumn/Winter 2010
I remember her! I like that she models the collections herself, she seems to be the perfect model for the clothes.
