Fashion Report: Long Tran SS13

         For the first time in Long Tran's history this was the awaking moment for him and his fashion label Long Tran. Tran is a New York based designer whom I have had the chance of working with using his amazing pieces for my shoot that spoken a pure vision in the word fashion. Tran's collection gives you everything you would ask for from a fashion label, Art, creativity, and innovation.

  Long Tran had the honor of presenting his new collection during NYFW showing his Spring/Summer 2013 collection. 

When viewing the collection, and lookbook. I could not resist from seeing the beauty in both garments for Menswear and Womenswear. The Menswear represented a soft feel with the elements of pastel colours along with different textures, and a Masculine feel of tailoring , and metals that were incorporated in the styling of the line. Womenswear With the obscure use of raw silk and volumized lace, a soft nude is the foundation color of this seasons collection., and use of sheer fabrications capture the entire theme of softness.

All together Long Trans vision was to make the crowd realize that his garments are pure art and using different shapes that captivates the feel of Avant Garde.

Another interesting thing I find cool is how designer such as him turns the art form of Origami that is originated from Japanese culture into their collections. In Long Tran's case he's done a swell job.

"I was nervous the whole time but after the show,  I was so happy and excited."- Long Tran



I had the pleasure of finding out more about his collection.


What were you thinking about when design your collection for spring.summer 13?
I thought about the color and silhouette

In compression from your last collection what's different about it this season?
More texture and more look.  Silk and lace for women, light wool, cotton and silk for men.  Of course, there is a different color pallette..  

How would you define your city's fashion? And how does it pull into your collection?
New York?   I love this fashion city, however it is too busy.  The place from NYC - Dimenna Center was where I have my show at.   It is amazing and inspired me show for runway and the collection as well.

What was the process of putting everything together for fashion week?
Wow,  it is a long plan (6 month before).  We start with picking the location, the the collection, the shoot, then the show,  but there is something more than that -  the models and the sponspors.

What was the feeling to show case your first collection during NYFW?
I was nervous the whole time but after the show,  I was so happy and excited

How do you select your models?
 My PR (Drew) and I had a casting 2 weeks before the show to find new faces that fit with the look I want for the show

What's your favorite part about conceptualizing a design?
The favorite part are creating and seeing my designs come true. 

What matters to you most as a fashion designer?
The concept, ideas and how to translate from sketches to actual garments.   For others, they focus more on the business side, but to me, passion cannot be bought buy money.  It is important to have a skill and ideas to make it happen.  I rather being poor and make people inspire by my works rather than live rich and design simple clothes.

Where can readers buy your clothes/jewelry?
They can buy at: www.shop.longtran.co

How do you edit your collection each season for press, bloggers, etc?

Showing more dramatic clothes is my goal for each collection to impress others. Additionally, it have to look completely different from the last collection.  

The collection seemed to be influenced by origami , What was your vision for this and incorporating it into your collection?

For the spring SS12 collection, I tried to create clothes in different fabric, different texture, different shape something that people never seen before.  Origami is something that I think aabout for the collection from pleating the fabric.  

How would you define your personal style?

My personal style will be: simple and clean

How would you define the style your line exemplifies?

I wished I could create a new vocabulary to describe my aesthetic for my line,  I would said unique and artistic are what I am going for

How would someone use some of your pieces in daily life?

To go to art gallery, or special events related to fashion or they could use some of the more simple pieces for street wear or daily basic ( still look high end)

Life of a Stylist: My Creative Vision

Life as a Stylist?

My life as a stylist has just begun ! I look for future events to happen, Style  for the biggest publications, Fashion shows, and collaborate with a designer too create a new collection. The world has so many things to conquer in so little time that I have on this place called earth.

I've learned that there are so many different egos of creativity, We all think differently.

Sometimes you have to fight for your vision too heard most of the time. You never want to push too many buttons until the point they say he/she doesn't have work ethic, In some situatuions I feel that you have to say and may even accompany both visions too have a make it work moment.

I'm proud too know that i'm making moves. When I went too someone they said I was moving too fast when I felt that just maybe I wasn't moving fast enough. Lets say my doctor couldn't get me off my daily dose of detrimenation too succed and be successful.lol

Life as a stylist is wonderful. stressful, fun, glamours, and everything fashion. 

I do enjoy every moment of it.

Sometimes I wonder if people would ever understand the extreme amount of work then just going into it. Seeing an image is nothing compared to being in action.

The preview and updates

Hello,

I feel that i've neglected my blog with not posting my style choices of the day.  I've been busy doing everything, and mean it. The school season has started! This only means that it would consume my time with homework, papers, and well colleges. You heard it folks!  Colleges. I've started my senior year of high school and i'm already hearing teachers tell us students "apply for college early.", "pay your senior dues." , "SAT's are coming around.", and the list goes on.

I'm already  worried about graduation,  and trying to maintain B averages in my main course classes.

Then with a load of me trying to conquer my career as a head fashion stylist/creative director of my own style team Burnette & Burke.

I want to do the best I can in my endeavors whether its school,  and fashion.

I'm a fighter! It will be done.

Other news, I'm happy to announce that my birthday will be here in 1 more day,  and i'll be 18 years of age. Hello! Legal.

Well not too drink!

Many people have asked me., Darius what will you have planned?

Then  thought to myself why not go too a club?

No, I feel that is kind of clichè of a person of my age too head out do some wild things like dance all night. I Rather be at home with the people I love along with food, friends, and a small cup cake with 1 lit candle placed in the center.

Then make my 18th wish.

Well my fabulous people. I shall be posting my outfit of the day.

Stay Tuned!
