GOALS

THE SPRING-SUMMER 2019 COLLECTION, “GOALS”BY ARLENA PARASCHIVESCU IS FOLLOWING THE SEASON’S FASHION DIRECTION IN A UNIQUE, CONVOLUTED WAY. IN TERMS OF CONCEPT SHE GOT INSPIRED BY THE ONE TREND BASED ON “THE SUMMIT WOMAN”. THIS TREND IS INSPIRED BY: PEAK ACHIEVEMENT, INNOVATION, POWER WARDROBE. IT IS INSPIRED BY THE WOMEN THAT FOCUSES ON BECOMING A BETTER VERSION OF HERSELF. THE DESIGNER CONSIDERS THAT THIS STRONG MINDSET COMES FROM A POWERFUL PERSONALITY AND A GOOD UNDERSTANDING OF HERSELF. SHE THINKS THAT AN IMPORTANT PART FOR EVOLVING ON A PERSONAL LEVEL IS DISCOVERING NEW THINGS OR PLACES AND ENJOYING THOSE MOMENTS IN ORDER TO BE FILLED WITH ENERGY. ARLENA CONSIDER TRAVELLING THE BEST WAY TO DISCOVER NEW PLACES, TO CREATE NEW DREAMS AND TO ENJOY THE HAPPY MOMENTS AROUND THIS EXPERIENCE. EACH PIECE IS INSPIRED BY A DIFFERENT PLACE. SHE CREATED HER OWN TEXTILES, EACH PATTERN BEING DEVELOPED FROM A PICTURE TAKEN IN MILAN OR VIENNA AND TRANSFORMED IN A FASHIONABLE PLAID. ALL PIECES HAVE A CLEAR MESSAGE MEANT TO REMIND THE WOMEN THAT WEARS THEM OF HER IDENTITY AND GOALS. LOOKING THROUGH THE COLOURFUL EYEWEAR, SHE WILL KNOW THERE IS HOPE AND SHE CAN’T “STOP UNTIL SHE IS PROUD”. THE BELT IS TIGHT ON THE WAIST, DELICATE, BUT ALSO BOLD DUE TO THE COMPLEXITY OF THE BUCKLE. IT SUGGEST THE “I CAN AND I WILL” KIND OF ATTITUDE. A MISMATCHED PAIR OF EARRINGS, CRAZY ENOUGH TO PUT ANY SOBER OUTFIT OUT OF MONOTONY, IS TELLING HER “DARE TO BE DIFFERENT!”. FEELING THE WEIGHT OF THE MASSIVE NECKLACE, SHE SHOULD ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT IT DOESN’T MATTER HOW DIFFICULT THE JOURNEY IS; SHE SHOULD “NEVER GIVE UP”.
