Nico Didonna Autumn Winter Collection at Baku London
During a four days event at the prestigious Baku London at 164-165 Sloane Street SW1X 9QB Italian designer based in London Nico Didonna, amazed again the fashion pack with a sophisticated collection reminiscing of the Jazz Era during London Fashion Week. Through the freedom of that music period that " The Modern Jazz Era" collection has been created. The beautiful soundtrack arranged by Alex Blanco gave a fantastic atmosphere during the show with covers of jazz classics while the models came down from the staircase in a flurry of silk, crepe and magnificent colours. www.bakulondon.com
The show was beautiful and the place was absolutely packed. The show started from the upstairs lounge where many guests were seated on plush leather sofas then they were coming down from the spiralling staircase in the restaurant, transformed for the occasion in a catwalk stage.
Nico Didonna put emphasis on a woman's body. Every curve is enhanced to the max. This dress is fabulous in a plum tone with metal chains on the front. The jacket is silver grey with a surprise purple lining.
These red trousers have got a double life. They can be either let loose like worn by the model, or they can be tied up around the leg for a different look. As well as in red, these trouser are available in cobalt blue.
This wrap around blouse in iridescent purple is a beauty. Teamed up with Karen K shoes and Nadia Minkoff clutch. www.nadiaminkoff.com
White and blue brocade mixed together for this line of dresses. With the same concept the collection has got different models in length as well as cut. It is so feminine and really gives a waist even if there is a lack of it thanks to the shape formed by the brocade.
Floating blue cobalt nipped at the waist dress. It is complete, just add great shoes, in this case Karen K 's and a clutch bag to die for. www.karenkboutique.com
A red carpet version of the white and blue brocade cocktail dress. In here the fishtail has got a iridescent purple petticoat and matching shoulder strap. The effect is very mermaid like.
Nico Didonna at the end of the show together with former supermodel and shoe designer Karen El Khazen who supplied the Karen K shoes for the runway. On the front row, among many celebrities, the latest star of the universe, the dog Pavarotti who has been photographed by everyone and he landed on premium magazine Forbes and many other websites. www.nicodidonna.com
At the after show party, held at the bar Lounge in Baku London, pop singer and songwriter Kady Z, spokeperson of Herbal Essences and whose last appearance has been at the Grammy treated the guests to an acoustic gig introducing her single " Crashing Down". Daughter of singer and actress Pia Zadora, she is a real daughter of art, talented and at the same time very genuine and a pleasure to be with. Check her music at www.kadyzmusic.com
Supportive as always, Nancy Dell'Olio came to the show with a friend and she met Pandemonia, the conceptual artist and blond bombshell, a habitue of the best fashion shows. Ms Dell'Olio appreciates Nico Didonna's work and often she can be seen wearing one of his outfits.
