ALL ABOUT DH FASHION BY DAVID HOJNIK

A new Slovenian fashion brand and the owner of the brand caught my eye not so long ago. Therefor I decided to contact David and ask him to tell me how it all started, what's it about and what are the future plans for the fresh DH fashion brand.

1. When have you started thinking about fashion design?
I actually started to think about designing  clothes and creating when I was still in high school.

2. How has it all started for you?
My first steps into the fashion industry started as a stylist. I actually worked in ZARA as a fashion stylist. And that's where I got the idea of making something on my own, something different and simply amazing. I started by making accessories for women and It all went uphill from there onwards.

3. Where do you get all the ideas and the inspirations for making all of the accessories and everything else your brand has to offer?
I consume the ideas from what's trendy and going on in the industry as well as spontaneously obviously. Also from working in ZARA, where I can see what people love to wear and I just make it all much more interesting in my designs.

4. Is the brand only for womenswear or also for men?
I actually started with designing only women's accessories like I said, but since that went really wear I decided to create more and more. So nowadays I also design for men, and that's why because men are actually more interested in spending more for their clothes in our environment and society, even though most of my costumers are women, men have simply shown a lot of interest, that was my reason to start creating menswear as well.

5. It's not all about designing it's also about showing and presenting what your brand has to offer. So where can we see your latest trends and collection?
Actually I presented my latest collection at a very successful fashion show here in Maribor, in Hotel City. The show was more successful than I could have ever imagined. To be honest It was very stressful at the beginning because me and my team did not expect such a great turn out, so we were more than happy at the positive response we have gotten.

6. After your show, you must have though about presenting your newest collection at Fashion week, haven't you?
To be completely honest It's not a priority, but obviously I have though about it. If I get this amazing opportunity I would love to show my clothes at fashion week both here in Slovenia and abroad.

7. So what are your plans for the future of DH FASHION?
Currently we are based in Slovenia, but one day we hope to expend into the world of course. But everyone has to start somewhere, isn't that right?

8. Could you tell me more about what your working on at the moment for the new collection?
Hehe I would love to, but you'll just have to wait a little longer for the collection to come out.

9. Where can people shop your clothes and accessories?
For now it is only available on our webpage, but we are thinking about opening a boutique soon.

Thank you David, I'm looking forward to seeing your interesting new work.

ULTRA EUROPE MUSIC FESTIVAL

Ultra music festival was held in Split, Croatia last week for the second time. Ultra is a world known festival which is now expending to all continents in the world. We all know the original one, held in Miami every Spring and now the European version which was firstly organized last Summer in Croatia.
This year me and my friends decided to attend it, because we could not say no to a party this big!We got to Split on Thursday a day before Ultra started. So of course we had to attend a few pre-parties as well which were amazing by the way!

Ultra started on Friday and ended on Sunday. The artists at this incredible event were: Hardwell, Nicky Romero, Martin Garrix, Fedde Le Grand, Above and Beyond, Example, Showtek, The Chainsmokers, Deorro, Armin Van Buuren, David Guetta, Sebastian Ingrosso, Knife Party, Laidback Luke, DJ Snake, Blasterjaxx, Steve Aoki, Alesso, Tiesto, Afrojack, W&W, Sunnery James & Ryan Marciano, Twoloud, Adriano Fuerte, Mossel, Disclosure, Cosmic Gate, Gramatik, Carl Cox and many more amazing music artists. 
My friends had some words to share, which I think is the best part of this whole journey. Sharing moments like this with people who find this as spectacular as I do is simply indescribable.

Ines Kolar:
I mostly liked the ambience and the people, a lot of youngsters all around the stadium. People actually wore masks just for this event, I find that really clever and fun. Light show was fantastic as well as the fireworks. My favorite artists were: Armin Van Buuren, Tiesto and Alesso.

Maja Ček a.k.a. DJ GLIA:
As a regular visitor of festivals, I must definitely say that Ultra Europe brought it to the next level this year, the lineup was a sick as it can get, the stage was much more improved and on a whole different level than last year. I loved the fact the main stage had only the best of the best djs and also the fact that the ''small stage'' was occupied with visitors at all time, it gave the whole festival the underground feeling so it covered all the genres from trance to house, from deep house to dubstep. As a lover of almost all the genres of electronic music I must say that for me the best opening performance with a deep house taste was Disclsoure, the best performance that was on the main stage was definitely Hardwell, he gave the crowd so much energy it was almost unbelievable , also his mix was flawless, really good track list and good mixing. The DJ who was must unusual for lots of visitors was DJ Snake, as he introduced quite a new music genre called Trap to the audience, which gave Ultra a whole different taste. My top five would so be DIsclosure, Dj snake, Laidback Luke, Hardwell and Armin van Burren, it's rather hard to do this charts as every single artists gave the crowd the very best it could. Ultra definitely getting better, worth while visiting next year.

Žan Vončina a.k.a. DJ MoriKill:
I mostly liked the stage and the light show which were both spectacular. As Ines said people were the ones that made this really incredible as it was. My favorite were DJ Snake, Laidback Luke, Sebastian Ingrosso, Hardwell and Nicky Romero.

Vid Markež a.k.a. DJ Vito Markeen:I mostly liked how the stage was set, it's size and everything about it. I also liked the location, Poljud stadium, which I find much better than the one in Miami. My favorites were: Hardwell, DJ Snake, Alesso and Martin Garrix.

John Varvatos Spring & Summer 2015 show at MMFW

John Varvatos Spring & Summer 2015 collection at MMFW
A day at the opera. This is how the designer describes his Spring/Summer collection, alluding to Queen's iconic record 'A night at the Opera.' He wanted to take formal ideas inspired by evening pieces and approach them with a casual attitude for the day time, exploring a new idea of youthful and sexy elegance. He mixed classic sensibility and a loose, romantic attitude. The idea of bringing evening to the day is explored by introducing formal in formal and non-literal way. The image is elegant, while at the same time romantic: crinkles, washed suede and hand-made rough accessories draw a very chic figure. The result is a young and energetic new way of dressing during the day, drawn from the formality of evening-wear. I loved the show because it is wearable and at the same it is very well made and different in a way from any other shows I've seen during the fashion week in Milano. What makes it so special is the quality of the clothes. I also enjoyed the music during the show which matched the clothes and the ambience where the show was held, If you ask me.

DIRK BIKKEMBERGS, SPORT COUTURE AT MMFW

DIRK BIKKEMBERGS, SPORT COUTURE

MENSWEAR COLLECTION, SUMMER 2015

He is a real man, but like a superhero with a statuesque physique he goes beyond the limits of normal resistance. He succeeds in this thanks to the triathlon. And it's the triathlon that has inspired Dirk to design a Summer 2015 collection that reflects in full the brand's original vocation for sport, underlined on the catwalk by a set that recalls the three disciplines: swimming, running and cycling.

The show was different and spectacular in a dynamic but very specific way. The collection offers us a variety of choices. From bags appropriate for formal or casual use, to sandals and elegant shoes, from men's and women's wear. The clothes were in in summer colours as well as a lot of clothes in black colour. The clothes are made in in sport material and other materials as well.

The designer used turquoise colour representing swimming, green for cycling and yellow for running.

The head piece of the show was the leather biker jacket or jackets, because more were presented to the audience. Amongst the key pieces on the runway the jackets, give the figure an appearance that is both determined and refined, thanks to a blend of clean and "distressing" treatments, whilst mixes and matches follow each other quickly.

Special thanks to Ivan Guererro.

PHILIPP PLEIN OFFICIAL FASHION WEEK AFTER PARTY IN MILANO

Philipp Patrick Plein  is a German fashion designer whose designs have incorporated a laughing skull which has become his signature.

The past few days were amazing for T-IERCE, because i had the chance to attend Milano fashion week as a blogger.

Included in my busy schedule i still had some time to party with my friends. On Saturday evening we decided to go to a party hosted by Philipp Plein. His parties are the best during every fashion week every year so there's absolutely no chance to miss any of those.

The atmosphere was amazing as well, there was sharks and dolphins everywhere. The place was very cool. 
Most interesting was the pool and the show happening in it. Also fireworks when a celebrity singer started performing.

I got to meet many new people including Mariano Di Vaio and many more.

Here are some photos from the amazing party:

LET'S GO TO MIAMI

ODPOTUJMO V MIAMI
avtor: Timotej Letonja
Maj 2014

Miami – velemesto, kjer je sončno in toplo čez celo leto. Mesto, ki je znano po nepozabnih zabavah in svetovnih glasbenih festivalih. Stičišče različnih kultur, ki se med seboj prepletajo in dajo Miamiju poseben pridih. Ritmi salse zadonijo skozi kubansko četrt, mehiška hrana in španski jezik sta v Miamiju skoraj na vsakem koraku skozi veliko število priseljencev, ki v ZDA iščejo boljše življenje.
Turisti prihajajo v Miami radi zaradi toplega vremena, peščenih plaž in sproščenega ameriškega vzdušja. Za mlade je to mesto, ki ponuja neskončne možnosti. Čez dan je to uživanje na brezmejni peščeni plaži, ki jo krasi sto in ena različna hišica obalne straže ali pa pohajkovanje po ulicah znamenitega Art Decoja ter obisk številnih trgovin. Zvečer se South Beach prelevi v zabavišče, klubov je toliko, da lahko vsak večer obiščeš drugega. Treba pa je seveda opomniti, da kot drugod po ZDA, tudi v Miamiju velja zakon, da moraš biti za vstop v nočne klube star 21 let. V Miamiju mladi spoznajo ljudi iz celega sveta, navežejo poznanstva in prijateljstva, ki ostanejo za vedno.
Poleg tega pa nikakor ne smemo pozabiti obiska tekme NBA domačega kluba Miami Heat ali pa navijanja za domači klub ameriškega nogometa Miami Dolphins, ki sta vsekakor edinstveni izkušnji, ki jih ne gre zamuditi. Glede na število znanih obrazov iz sveta slavnih prav tako nikoli ne veš, če se boš morda sredi ulice 'zaletel' v kakšnega Enriqueja Iglesiasa ali pa celo Adriano Limo.
Ker Miami ni tako oddaljen od preostalih krajev na Floridi se lahko odpelješ na izlet do Evergladesa, naravnega močvirja, polnega aligatorjev, ki te iz vode skrivaj opazujejo. Ogledaš si lahko enega najlepših sončnih zahodov na Key Westu, točki, ki je od Kube ločena za samo 151 km. V Orlandu pa lahko izraziš otroka v sebi z obiskom enega izmed mnogih Disneyevih parkov. Če te je pa kdajkoli mikal izlet v vesolje, pa je zate pravi kraj Nasin Kennedy Space Center v Cape Canaveralu.
Vsekakor je Miami za mlade idealna priložnost, da skozi počitnice svojega življenja, obnovijo oziroma izboljšajo svoje znanje angleškega jezika in ob tem spoznajo kanček tuje kulture ter navežejo prijateljstva po celem svetu, ki lahko trajajo za celo življenje. 

Study English in Miami Beach in our sleek Art Deco building and experience resort-style language learning. Our English language school features a fully-renovated swimming pool with sweeping views of the Atlantic Ocean. The sun shines bright in southern Florida, and our countless amenities include air-conditioned classrooms that ensure a comfortable setting for your personalized English courses.

EF’s Miami Beach students can be forgiven for dragging some sand into class with them. With miles of pristine oceanfront literally steps from the language school, walks on the beach are part of the daily routine. Once class lets out for the day, EF students have the enviable dilemma of choosing between tanning on the beach and going for a swim in the pool.

Oceanfront on South Beach:
Far from a lazy beach town, Miami is proud of its cosmopolitan resort vibe. EF students can join locals at culinary outings in Little Havana, late-night Salsa dancing downtown and celebrity spotting at South Beach night clubs. Our English courses in Miami draw students from around the world, and you’ll feel right at home in this international city no matter where you come from.
The city of Miami is surrounded by natural beauty. To the west of the city are the Florida Everglades, a sub-tropical wilderness filled with countless species of wildlife. Drive south and you’ll hit the bottom of America in the Florida Keys, a string of several thousand small sandy islands. Miami’s beaches are spectacular, but the city’s rich culture and natural beauty truly make it a place worth lingering.
