Magic Light.

    Nothing is truly original anymore in the modern era.Transferring is the most important step between design and culture(Art/Music/literature and etc…). From a inspiration to a concept, it is the first step; to figure it out to an actual design, it is the second step. But the process is much more difficult than we thought. 
    During Fashion month I haven’t report so many news yet, actually  I decided to combine them as a column to talk about how designers transfer the inspirations to the actual designs.
    Modern art become a new inspiration for italian fashion designers, which is importing much fresh young ideas into this Italian fashion industry. Furla’s bag has been popular among the young people for many seasons, this time they present a “Magic Light” collection which was inspired by modern artist Mario Airo’s alternative light art show. Light transformed to the new design inspiration of “Candy Bag”, shadow became the patterns of new doctor bag and Piper bags.  The whole showroom presented the new collection and Mario’s show at the same time, I liked how they combined the modern art inspiration and the productions together. It kept a good balance between a commercial event and a mini art exhibition. And of course girls will love these fresh designs in the next summer.
