More than 30 designers and brands presented their dazzling avant-garde collections for the Spring/Summer 2014 season at the just concluded ninth edition of FashionPhilosophy Fashion Week Poland.

Held in the Polish city of Lodz, the event was opened by Japanese fashion designer Junko Koshino’s 40-piece collection. Predominantly based in black and silver, the hand-painted line was divided into two parts—one was a Japanese culture inspired prêt-a-porter range and the second one was a futuristic haute couture collection designed in collaboration with the world’s famous computer printer maker Epson.

Fashion label Sowik Matyga, owned by the student designers, Martyn Sowik and Mila Matyga, from the Lodz Academy of Fine Arts, featured a bold military-inspired line, comprised of hooded capes, white mini dresses with large pockets, patterned shirts, midriff baring cropped tops and black metallic skirts.

Young design talent Malgrau projected the relaxed atmosphere of a sunny, breezy seaside through the resortwear collection Opposites Attract, which included quilted vests, crushed feathery skirts and patterned blouses in a contrasting palette of vivid flashy and matt tones.

Clothing brand Label2, from designer duo Andrea Popovic from Serbia and Alen Pinku from Bosnia, infused elements from Japanese minimalism and trends of the 1990s in its latest runway presentation. Made from nylon, boiled wool and neoprene, the featured ensembles were sculptural coats, jackets and dresses.

Menswear designer Monica Bird drew inspiration from surfing for her new fashion week collection. Based on feminine silhouettes, the men’s line showcased foam sweatshirts and leggings in eyeball grabbing fluorescent colours.
