dgardo Osorio, the designer behind Aquazzura,wants us all to take a step back and rediscover

the basics o beautiully-crated and eminineshoes. A graduate o the London College oFashion and Central Saint Martins, Edgardochartered into the world o shoe design workingwith big names like Salvatore Ferragamo,Sigerson Morrison and Rene Caovilla. In 2011,he nally launched his own brand Aquazzurato give light to the principle o simplicity inootwear. Based in Florence, the beautiul city

is a constant inspiration or the shoemaker to bring together the besto rened European aesthetic, luxury cratsmanship, and emininesensibility. In just a year, his pieces now adorn the eet o celebritiesand ashion makers worldwide.

What is the story behind your shoe creations? What is the ultimate goal increating shoes or women?

Ater over a decade o working or many dierent luxury brands,I wanted to create my own line ollowing a specic aesthetic andsensibility. The market is saturated with over-priced and over-designed shoes. I think ater all the craziness that weve seen in thepast ew years in shoes, women want to get back to wearing somethingmore elegant, but in a new way. With Aquazzura I wanted to create aline o beautiul shoes that were sophisticated, beautiully made andat the same time resh and eminine. For me, it is not about creatingsculptures or architecture, it is about making women beautiul.

I love graphic, sensual and modern things. I love using the bestmaterials and working with the best cratsmen in the world to createone-o-a-kind pieces. Being in Italy allows me to discover incredibleateliers with artisans that can make my wildest dreams come true.I love very eminine shoes that make your eet and your body lookamazing.

The name Aquazzura comes rom the Italian acqua azzurra whichmeans blue water. I came up with the name while on a trip to Capri. Itelt perect because I wanted my brand to evoke the sophistication oItaly in a resh and positive way. I wanted a name that reminded me o

Italy and o a vacation.

How has the journey been in spearheading your own brand ater a decadeo working with other designers?Having my own line o shoes is something I know I have wanted todo since I was 12 years old. Ater years o experience working withsome very amazing companies like Cavalli and Ferragamo, I eltcomortable branching out on my own. I am now able to show my ownpoint o view and design things that I truly love. It has been such anincredible journey in the past year and we have had such positive vibesthat I eel very lucky.

How does the culturally vibrant Florence inuence your designs?Im surrounded by the best cratsmen and suppliers or ootwear andleather goods in the world. It's also a luxury to be able to work in theheart o Florence - one o the most beautiul cities in the world andsurrounded by the most amazing countryside in Europe. Being thereconstantly inspires me. For example, the colour card rom this all/winter season comes rom the color o the marbles o the Medici

apartments in Palazzo Vecchio. It is such a luxury to be surrounded bysuch beauty all the time.

What are your impressions o the women o the Middle East and how doyou think your des igns will ft in here?I think women in the Middle East has such a wonderul and colorulsense o style. Even i most o the time they do not show the clothesthat they wear, they are always wearing amazing bags and shoes whichI love. I cant wait to do presentations and trunk shows in the MiddleEast to meet all these wonderul women. We are already selling inJeddah, Dubai, and Beirut and have started to amass a loyal ollowing.I hope Qatari clients will love Aquazzura since it is eminine, sexy, andvery well made.

The Red Carpet and Fashion Runway BuzzI travel extensively or my job and aminvolved mostly in ashion and red carpet

events. I am backstage at almost all the majorashion weeks and entertainment awardshows including BAFTA, music awards ando course, ilm estivals! I have been withMAC Cosmetics or twelve years and thejourney has been amazing. My avouritetime is deinitely during ashion week. Theexcitement gives a kind o adrenaline rushlike nothing else and it is amazing to see whatwe can do under intense pressure!

Shiting between Red Carpet & Fashion RunwayCreating ashion looks as opposed to redcarpet looks are two very distinct processes.For ashion looks, designers and stylists

create mood boards and stories which are aculmination o inspirations and designs. Weit into the picture by providing and curating

the look according to the story that they wantto tell through the runway collection. For redcarpet, we are talking about real women whowant deinition and who wants to look goodon camera.

Red Carpet TrendsWomen are becoming more involved in howthey want to present themselves on the redcarpet. The ocus is on the skin tone, how they

can enhance their own eatures or example,instead o hiding their reckles, they want toeature it in a positive light. Here in the MiddleEast, women are very much inluenced byan exotic traditional make-up style that has

Debbie

been passed on through the generations. Weare looking at de ined eyebrows, smoky eyesand dramatic eyeliner. So what we see on thered carpet here are interpretations o make-up that ocuses on eyes, alse eyelashes andelongated eline eye shapes.

Debbies Pocket Make-Up GuideMAC Prep & Prime RangeThis is the absolutely must have range or thered carpet. I used this on almost all my clientsthis season. The range prepare the skin orwhatever products that you will be putting onyour ace. It tones down skin redness, anchorsthe oundation andhas special ormulation

Regional FactorMy job is to be the bridge between interna-

tional trends and local interests. I have beenwith MAC or 13 years and I travel all overthe world to be the irst to discover and learnabout make-up trends. I bring the knowledgehome and turn it into something that wouldappeal to the Arab tastes and inluence. Itis all about giving it the local relevance. Butwhat helps is that there is an immense inter-est in make-up in this region. The women love

experimenting and are not araid to try excit-ing new trends.

Growing FocusThe Middle East is in a very exciting transi-tional phase now when it comes to beautytrends. On one hand, we have the traditionalinluence o make-up styles that is intertwinedwith history and culture that most womenhere know and love. On the other hand, we

have a new generation o girls who are alwaysconnected to the world via social media andthey are trend spotting everything that is hap -pening on the international ront. They knowwhat is trendy, they know what celebrities are

wearing and they are also inluenced by di-erent sets o subcultures and beauty styles.

So moving orward, we are looking at a mar-ket that is converging between the old andnew.

Middle East TrendsThe women here are so passionate aboutmake-up, colours, texture and experimenta-tion. Working as a artist in this region is likea child in a candy store that we can explore

basically almost every option that we want.At the moment, we are ocusing on skin thathas depth and dimension as well as well-con-toured acial shapes. With the expat wom-en who live here, there is a term I like usingThinking Glocally a mesh between globaland local. The Western style o make-up ismore sot, nude with round colours and thencoming here, they adapt to new inluences. Atthe end o the day, make-up is such a p ersonal

experience whatever you do is a melting poto your style and tastes.

DTFF 2012

This is my irst year here at this estival and

I love it because o its intimate setting. Thisway, we can build relationships with our cli-

ents because they come back or a ew daysin a row. And ultimately, we will carry theser-elationships orward towards other regionalevents which makes our artistic work muchmore meaningul than just doing make-up onone model ater another.

CHLOCHARTING THEGROWTH OF LUXURY

PRET-A-PORTERBY DEBRINA ALIYAH

IN A REFLECTIVE MOMENT SOMEWHERE IN PARIS

SIXTY YEARS AGO, THE CONCEPT OF LUXURY

MOVEMENT THAT HAS BECOME THE MAIN FASHION

APPROACH FOR THE INDUSTRY TODAY.

a time where women rom all walkso lie were beginning to reapeconomical benets rom post-warrecovery, demand or accessibleashion begin to surge. GabyAghion, a Parisian ashion designer,recognising this niche oundedChlo, the worlds rst pret-a-porterashion house. While historically,luxury high-end clothing were

reserved exclusively to the realmo couture cratsmanship, Chlo became the rst brand to combinethe ne quality o haute couture and accessibility o ready-to-wearcollections. Ready-to-wear garments available in the market thenwere mainly actory-produced designs that were oten poorly made.The pioneering designer boldly took the rst step o producing herdesigns in a range o standardised sizing andputting the label Chlo on her creations.

Together with her business partner Jacques

Lenoir, Gaby presented the rst-ever Chlocollection in 1956. The collection debuted atCae de Flore to a group o Parisian creativeswho helped propelled the brand into instantame and success. Recognised by her peersand applauded or her innovative concept,Gaby became a celebrated iconic designer asChlo took o as the most sought-ater brando 60's ashion. While her designs becamea avourite with big names and socialities,

Gabys true vision o her designs was really todress a niche group o artists and intellectualswho preerred simple and clean lines asopposed to the elaborate couture designs othe time.

The brands signature silhouette only cameto lie in 1966, when Karl Lagereld was hiredas Chlo rst creative director. Embodyingthe spirit o Chlo's original inception o

reedom and accessibility or women o all walks o lie - Karl createdan easy-going ree orm silhouette o airy blouses and founcy skirts.Crating rom sot fowing abrics like silk and using delicate methodslike pleating, Karl rmly established Chlo success in dening theeminine orm. The signature sot pastels have become the interiormoodboard o modern day Chlooutiques worldwide.

Karl let the house in 1983 and Chlo went through a challengingperiod beore nally coming back to lie in 1997, when Stella McCartneytook over the creative directorship. Doing a spin on the brandsoriginal signature style, Stella adapted the new modern womans

perspective into the collection resulting in pieces that were both unand firtatious. Although Stella was only a young ashion graduatethen, her talent and vision or the brand helped put Chlo back intothe runway limelight. When her longtime assistant Phoebe Philotook over the reign, the brand had come to a ull circle culminating

in the launch o the brands rst handbag line. Diving into the highlylucrative handbag segment o the ashion market proved successulwith the Chlo Paddington becoming one o the decades most iconichangbag. Chlo is now designed by Clare Waight Keller.

60th AnniversaryTo commemorate the 60-year history o Chlo since its inception in1952, the brand hosted the Chlo ATTITUDES exhibition at Palaisde Tokyo rom October to November 2012. The exhibition served topay tribute to the pivotal role Chlo played in introducing the concept

o pret-a-porter to the ashion world. Curated and designed by thecelebrated Judith Clark, the exhibition took a thematic view on theevolving style o Chlo through its dierent designers. In Clarks work,she has brought out acets o Chlo's history in the exhibition thatwas little known to the world, including the multitude o pop-culturereerences o dierent eras in the pieces produced by the dierent

designers. In line with the exhibition, Chloalso initiated The Alphabet campaign -inspired by ounder Gaby Aghion and her

unique method o naming collections andgarments according to alphabets. Thecampaign takes the audience on a unjourney through the history o the brand bytelling stories related to all 26 alphabets.Available now on the brands website, it is atreasure trove o dierent media mediumsand previously unreleased archive imagesand advertising campaigns.

The Chlo Paddington BagIntroduced by Phobe Philo in 2005, thisbag has gone down in ashion retail historyas one the astest-selling bags sparkingo wildre discussions on blogs includingthe popular PurseForum on the best waysto get yoursel the bag. Although it is notthe rst bag to ever reach waitlist status,the Paddington was the denite 'It Bag' o

2005 and was one o the hardest bags to purchase in that year.The Paddington bag is an embodiment o Chlo's bohemian andree-spirit nature - presented in a slouchy style but anchored by a hugeheavy padlock that gives the bag the ultimate contrast. Its medium sizemakes it perect or everyday wear, complementing both casual andwork attires. Although the bag is heavy in weight, it denitely did notdeter the chic crowd rom waiting in line to get one. The Paddingtonbag has since been reissued in dierent kinds o leather, colors andembellishing hardwares.

Chlo is now owned by luxury goods group Richemont and includes

a diusion line, See by Chlo which was launched in 2001 as analternative to the main luxury collection. See by Chlo targeted ayounger audience with collections that are more edgy and un.Chlo is represented by Al Mana Luxury in Qatar and is located atPorto Arabia - The Pearl Qatar.

served to paytribute to the

pivotal roleChlo played in

introducing theconcept ofpret-a-porter to

the fashion world.
