of London, to name a few, it is an impressive display of style
from premium streetwear to high-end tailoring.

Taking off is in
high-altitude —
Alexandra
Moura
The essence of the unconventional work of Alexandra
Moura (Lisbon, 1973) that has evolved over the 12 years
that she has been in the industry, mainly focuses on the
concept of contrast and polar opposites. In her creations it
is possible to identify the confrontation of “I” and the “other”,
of light and shadow, craftworks and technologies, past and
future, physicality and spirit. Alexandra collides traditional
techniques with contemporary fabrics to produce a new
mediation of style. It’s a two-faced game, as with the
inclusion of the other side of one’s self, the reverse of the
soul is as significant and as present.
PROFILE
The creative drive of Alexandra Moura is found through the process of
learning the self, defining one’s identity is an on-going discovery and pushes
the development of her pieces. The curious spirit of the designer, who moves
between her interior world and the world that surrounds her, presenting
through her garments a perspective of understanding the invisible, and
mainly, of understanding what that balance with the tangible.
16 PROFILE
‘The other is me’
The designer has embedded a mark of esoteric design with her garments,
from 2002 her collections, presented in national and international circuits,
have shown conceptual ideas translated into esoteric garments, conversely
received well by the audience of Alexandra Moura due to the balance of
sharp and soft formations. The sculptural aesthetic is always present in
the pieces, giving an extension or modification to the body form, creating
interesting silhouettes.
Alexandra Moura works with a palette predominately composed of the
pale, neutral tones, black and white, adding slots of colour. The brightness
of yellow, the depth of green and blue, and the intensity of the red, create
salient pieces in contrast to her softer additions, showing again the lengths
of polarity that Moura continues to experiment with.
Far from restricting her self to the world of
fashion, Alexandra Moura does not follow
trends when approaching her work. Her
versatility, skill and uniqueness transcend
the concept of time. Producing timeless
garments that incorporate both futuristic
and antiquated concepts.

20 PROFILE
CHEEKLDN by Charlotte Yamada is a womenwear brand that exudes
playfulness and exuberance. Resonating with a tongue-in-cheek
humour, ‘CHEEK’LDN is a play on words for the chic ‘chicks’ with a cheeky
attitude. It is designed for the ladies who are forever young, intelligent,
and confident; the girls who have never lost the child within them.
CHEEKLDN collections are about the clash of youth & sophistication,
andplayfulness&seriousness.Ladylikeminisuits,andclassicouterwear

candy-bright hues and amplified with gold hardware.

CHEEKLDN
London-born, Tokyo-raised designer, Charlotte Yamada

York and graduated from Central Saint Martins in
London in 2010 with a BA Honours in Fashion Design
Womenswear. Soon after graduating, she relocated
to Milan to work at Moschino after having built a
design background that includes companies such as
New Era Caps, Richard Nicoll, and writtenafterwards.
After her time at Moschino, Charlotte decided to
launch CHEEKLDN in 2012 to offer young adults deluxe
streetwear that cherishes independence and humour.
Ultimately, it is fun that underpins Charlotte Yamada’s
approach to design. Or as Andrew Carnegie put it:
‘There is little success where there is little laughter.’

Obscure Rebellion
debuts their
collection through
the Heavy London
Showroom at LFW
26 PROFILE
Combining the nostalgic heavy metal symbolism
and the futuristic new age flare, Obscure Rebellion
have managed to render the realms of reality using
their invented new age feminist movement.
The new age feminist movement not only supports
the equality of women but also is an exploration of
female sexuality. Such themes are further explored
thorough the use of sensual soft curves, combined
with strong masculine linear lines.
The heavy sheer crisp organza is adorned with
rich flocked velvet badgescarrying words of
empowerment. Bold denim monochromatic printed
jackets are paired with matching denim patchwork
embellishments. The use of unconventional turn
lock fastenings takes centre stage throughout the
collection. Delicate pastel blue pieces are merged
with bold statement prints which are enclosed
in a row of glistening gold crystals adding a luxe
characteristic to this season. The multi-textured
blocked fabric, reinstates an air of flirtation and
romanticism. Molten metallic riches manifest
themselves in statement two piece ensembles
reminiscent of a cult deity.
28 PROFILE
Obscure Rebellion is created by Malita Harradine
and Mignonne Dekyem. The Obscure Rebellion duo
graduated from The University of the Creative Arts
in 2013 and started up the brand in 2014. The new
enterprise focuses on creating fashion forward clothing
that stems from their background in fashion. The
philosophy behind the brand is primarily centered on
creating a new fashion revolution.
“We aim to create clothing that goes beyond the realms
of superficiality and creates a platform where people
are empowered and free to explore their true self.”

TZUJI is a new clothing label that uses the influence
of music and club culture as inspiration to create eye-
grabbing clothes that are easy to wear.

as club gear for legendary DJ songwriter Larry Tee
from New York City. Having worked with DJ stars like
Steve Aoki and Afrojack and written songs for artists
like Princess Superstar, Shontelle and RuPaul, Larry
Tee was fully immersed in the international DJ party
scene and show business world of flash and swag.
This shows in his first two collections; the techno
clubkid and psychedelic prints of the ‘DISCO 2000’ AW
14 collection named after his Limelite clubnight made
famous in the movie ‘Party Monster’.

These thems also appear in the optimistic ‘Save The
Humans’ SS15 techno inspired holographic second
season. His 3rd season is a dramatic departure and
references the ‘Electroclash’ scene he helped launch
of the late 90s in black and more black with attitude
to spare. Though it’s heavily black and white (with a
touch of red), it still has the TZUJI DNA shine that
makes it stand out as special and unique.
