David Shah crafts six fashion trends for MarediModa

Vintage beach

The sound of crickets and the shimmering heat of the afternoon: Sicily, with it’s sunburned colours, brightly painted fishing boats, folk traditions and crafts is a constant source of inspiration. Nostalgic memories of family trips to sunny destinations flood back to warm us. Traditional ceramics, vintage fabrics and heritage crafts all celebrate the climate and lifestyle and, as we gear up for the Brazilian 2016 Olympics, the passion and colour of Latin America calls! 

It is spring 2015 and one finally looks up, blinking and disorientated, from his screens. He suddenly realizes what he has been missing out on in his #

 

Atlantis

Let’s dive into the lost civilization of Neptune’s daughters: a fantasy underwater world where the sound track features the muffled rush of bubbles and lapping water and the scenery is dreamy and ghost-like with rippling reflections, shadows and diffused glow. The story involves fantastic creatures, seahorses and mermaids, with pearlescent scales and flowing, iridescent hair. Light is bent and reflected, all is relaxing. How we would love to float and glide in this sensual otherworld, breathing slowly, underwater.

 

LINGERIE

Fantasia

How will seduction take place in the future? We take all we know of the mysterious arts of temptation and apply hi-tech wizardry to perform alchemy. The result is a surreal, futuristic imaginary world, where all we know of traditional allure is present but altered, fantastical and shadowy. With their ravishing theatricality, these future goddesses are alluring and extraordinary. They provoke and entice in a whirl of low-lit cosmic burlesque.

 

Montmartre

We are conjured back in time to the belle-époque of Toulouse Lautrec’s Montmartre, the bohemian area of Paris, full of dancers, painters and nightlife. Painter’s models met artists and artists met dancers, who were also ladies of the night! 

 

Lingerie was romantic, pretty and lavish, a nostalgic tribute to the luxury of the French court. Turn of the century Parisian lifestyle inspired nightclub shows, creating a frivolous look of seductive layers, where flesh was rarely seen.
