for original post check out here: http://firstlook_b.blog.me/90139391827

How did the compania fantastica born? It must have been a very hard work

and lots of efforts, time put into it.

Companiafantastica was born 3 years ago. It was Mini and Jaime (brother and sister)

who started the offer in terms of fashion that Madrid had was weak and many people could not

find cool alternatives to dress up.

We wanted to display cool urban fashion but at what we called it really affordable prices.

Later press refer to us as "Chic and Cheap" we definitely have shown that fashion is not a luxury.

Nowadays, Compania Fantastica is being sold in more than 20 countries from

Japan to USA, Holland, Germany, Italy , France, Portugal...etc.

The chicest part of the brand would be?

The naive and retro touch of all our designs and the versatility of them which makes you can wear

them either to go to work with flats and simple accessories or with heels and more

special complements to go out at night.

Always cool.

So you said that the collection is very price-efficient, right?

This is one of our main objectives and I am sure one of our strong points.

We make fashion stylish but simple and proof of it is that

Compania Fantastica has spread in the last 2 years and now more than

250 shops are carrying our brand!

If one wants to travel for this spring break, what three pieces would you recommend?

Kill All Artists T-Shirt with Dotty Trousers (casual outfit),

Three Tone Dress (daily outfit),

& Romantic Dress (night outfit)

Compania Fantastica surely seems to have a ton of chic options.

Last message to readers?

Make it cool but make it simple.

Stylish borns inside!!!

Your brand features luxurious look. What image does your brand portray?

We have developed a smooth image of refined prints and embroideries, using colors

as our peculiar skill. Sensations of faraway lands and sophisticated charm in order to stress

femininity, combined with natural precious fabrics.

The lookbooks were so exotic and exquisite. How does it proceed to style it up?

The lookbook represent our actual communication message, that is expressed in the beginning by

the collection. We are NOT importers of Eastern items, but we are an Italian company which styling

pool turns other countries' visual icons into an Italian collection.

The lookbooks are shot in Turin, choosing ancient royal palaces or eclectic

furnished flats so to underline our Italian and Turin appartenance.

If one is looking for never-take-off-accessory, what would you recommend?

Embroidered silk/pashmina stole in winter,

printed + embroided silk haboutai scarf in spring.

What are some color choices often used for Sete Di Jaipur?

Bright colors are preferred ones.

Green, red, yellow, fuchsia are always used in every collection.

Can you give us any styling tips as a fashion teacher?

Easy and soft clothes in natural fibers are always giving psychogical & physical comfort.

Mix fancy items as tops or kurtas together with plain color pants and dust coat.

Never forget a scarf as a crown for the face, to underline your personal touch.

interview with Barbara Campbell

post for 1stlook: http://firstlook_b.blog.me/90139227965

How do you create accessible collection?

My collections are usually inspired by the environment around me.

I started in the mountains of Vermont, lush and green, and then the beaches of Montauk,

wide open sands, beautiful stones and crashing waves.

I am also inspired by New York City neighborhoods, DUMBO in Brooklyn,

Soho in Manhattan. Soho inspired my black and gold glam collection.

Any layering advice in jewelry?

This year's trend is all about layering.

I love to layer necklaces and bracelets. I love to see a woman in layered bracelets.

My Black and Gold collection has many pieces that are meant to be layered.

Favorite color for Barbara Campbell NYC would be:

Black and monotone colors.

What type of women are BC women?

I can imagine already the bold beauty looks!

BC women set trends, they don't follow them.

They are bright, vivacious and bold. They are contemporary and many are fashionistas.

They are financially conscious, they seek quality and value.

They are diverse in age and race, and they are cosmopolitan.

She is confident; she likes to make a fashion statement.
