I can’t get enough of Felipe Oliveira Baptist; his last collection for A.W. 2010/2011 was one of my absolute favorites of the season, but I just can’t quite put our finger on why. I think it was because it was so refreshing. It’s been way too long since the concept of futurism was so eloquently presented.  It’s 2010, and it’s as if we stopped looking towards the future, the exploration of space and imaging pop-art-like minimalist fashions. It was as if for a moment Pierre Cardin and André Courrèges were showing again, but in a contemporary context, and it was outstanding. Felipe Oliveira Baptist’s collection was inventive and future thinking. The inspiration came from the idea of a woman’s pioneering spirit and was carried home by abstracting form and layering typographies.  And, For the first time this season we also had a bit of a look into Baptiste’s own creative process on his facebook fan page, he uses his wall as a literall inspiration board, with the ability of fans to comment and contribute. Make sure to become a fan and watch him carry out future collections. I think his is definitely the hot seat at Paris Fashion week, now I can’t wait until his next show!
