Meet Vanessa Da Silva
1. June 2008 Designers & Labels, T-Shirts & Hoodies
First, it´s the extreeeeme wearability of London-based, Brazilian-born designer Vanessa da Silva´s sixth collection “Local Luxury” that made me immediately fall in love with the pieces. Second, and also very considerable - it´s the unique and highly recognizable style signature that makes me go a little crazy over the collection that is “designed exclusively for no-one to celebrate the beauty of Hackney, East London” - delicate tailoring techniques meet embroidery, appliqué and staggering-imaginative graphic illustrations and lead into striking, eye-catching, highly fashionable but still relaxed t-shirts, tunics and vests. It´s very uncommon that I go for every single piece of a designer´s collection. With Vanessa da Silva´s pieces, I totally do.
Unfortunately, it wasn´t easy to find out how and where to buy Vanessa da Silva´s fashion online. London-based no-one online store sells some pieces. If you know other shopping directions- let me know.
