The Ramon Filip Spring/Summer ‘21 collection captures the supreme body movements of a prima ballerina with whimsical dresses that emerge from a fantasy fairy-tale world in masses of tulle, one pirouette at a time.

Intervening between adagio and allegro, the prima ballerina jumps out of the fairy-tale with a flawless “ronds de jambe” right into the real world. She floats in the air in a slender and agile movement covered in a cloud of tulle. Graceful and free, she seizes the moment. The grand jeté!

Inspired by the precision and mastery of ballet choreography, Ramon Filip reinvents the connection between fashion and dance with skilfully sculpted feminine silhouettes that embody the continuous flow of every movement through fabric fluidity and captivating embellishments. The collection boasts a delicate, yet powerful sense of femininity. From highly embellished tulle and organza to elusive lace and structured satin, fabrics intertwine in perfect harmony, tangling in drapes and fringes full of movement.

Fitted bodices are balanced by light and airy multiple layers of tulle while feathers hover over dresses made of hand-embroidered crystals and beads. Shoulders are finely defined and revealed through spaghetti straps and sweetheart necklines adorning light dresses and floor-sweeping gowns. Tulle remains the star of the show covering silhouettes with a sensual softness. Bringing to life classic ballet gowns, the collection features a subtle and romantic colour palette that goes from powdery hues of white, lavender and aqua, to dusty pink and moonlight greige.

Suitable for the modern bride, romanticism and lightness are at the core of this season’s dresses. Through timeless silhouettes, modernity and glamour evolve on soft flows of tulle, organza and multiple ruffles. Embellishments delicately shower the gowns and convey a message of hope, tranquillity and serenity.

With the newly launched Eleftheria Square as a setting, the historically significant architectural intervention that unifies the ancient Venetian walls with the modern city beyond, the new Ramon Filip collection embodies the anticipation of a new beginning rooted deeply in history, tradition and dance as an art form that evokes emotion and unifies the past, the present and the promising future.

White for winter? Well, it is actually ground-breaking my friends! I honestly can’t think of anything looking more luxurious than a winter white outfit. This crisp, neutral hue has the ability to make every ensemble look seriously classy. And you know how I like to break the rules… In this case, behold one of the most classic and chic fabrics ever, the tweed, transformed into a cool, effortlessly chic, hoodie dress ready to take you from day to night in chicness overload.

An instant mood lifter and a desired alternative to the black and grey hues we’re used to wearing throughout the cold-weather season, this oversized sporty chic hoodie makes you stand out while making a statement. A statement that says I’m not giving up. I’m on top of my game. And while doing so, you choose to move with absolute ease between occasions and situations with a positive vibe, a playful and elegant mind-set, just like the outfit you’re wearing.

I choose to wear my hooded tweed dress with all-white accessories to increase its impact, while keeping it effortlessly elegant, cool and cosy.

After all, mixing and matching textures elevates every look, that’s for sure. Just add a touch of leather with your white combat boots and a trophy bag for the ultimate luxe cool winter white outfit, and you’re ready to go.

Feeling inspired to go all-white this season? I hope you do. (Just be careful with that coffee!)

Love,

Ramona

Living in an era where the new norm calls for ease and comfort, RAMON FILIP transforms wardrobe staples into modern and luxurious eveningwear with a powerful 80’s flare that makes them simultaneously glamorous and versatile.

Day to night pieces get a whole new meaning in RAMON FILIP’s new collection. Think powerful tailored blazers and jackets paired with high-waisted skirts, or easy-to-wear bustiers and legging-style fitted trousers. Sleek dresses that enhance the female figure. Comfy-chic jumpsuits in vibrant pink. Strong shapes, powerful silhouettes, impeccable tailoring, luxurious fabrics, glamorous details.

It’s an image appropriate for strong, independent women, corporate executives, leaders, unapologetically ambitious career women, who have devoted their existence to pursuing a sense of freedom. They get dressed to accommodate their busy schedules, to project an image that is both appealing and powerful, confident but not arrogant. Charismatic. Credible. Comfortable. Feminine. They choose versatile pieces to wear from business meetings to fancy dinners, just by adding the right accessories, by throwing on their shoulders a velvet blazer, or by adding a polka-dot tulle blouse underneath.

Besides its versatility and ease, this collection is nothing short of luxury and glamour. Hand-embellished mirror beads adorn pencil skirts with high slits, velvet jackets and mini dresses with ruffled tulle inlays. Feather details create high contrasts on strapless dresses and mini skirts, whereas versatile bustiers are worn with almost every attire paired with delicate tulle blouses, blazers and neoprene legging-style cropped trousers.

The colour palette includes black, silver and fuschia, heightened by feathers in white and ash – a contrasting palette enhanced by ultra-modern touches. Between a masterful classicism and rethought contemporaneity, RAMON FILIP’s vision relishes in a reinterpretation of past — yet never old-fashioned — codes. The combination possibilities are endless, as are the potentials of the women who choose to wear them.

Is it just me, or do you also feel invincible when wearing leather? (Faux leather in this case, but one that looks as good as the real deal). I’m extremely happy that leather proved to be one of the season’s biggest trends. I am a big fan of glamorous designs and funky experimentations, that’s why I recommend giving a try to leather ensembles this season. After all, this is an ideal time of the year when we can wear functional clothing.

I love the feeling of leather. The polished look, the versatility, the tough yet buttery feeling. The strength it projects along with its ability to wear it up or down with the suitable accessories. Composed by an oversized shirt with tapered trousers, this ensemble for me is the epitome of versatility. Easy-to-wear, perfectly on trend, comfortable, structured and in the sweetest caramel hue. It is my go-to attire for day-to-night looks that are perfectly tuned with comfy-chic mood we are all thriving to achieve in our demanding everyday life.

Needless to say, the options of wearing the two pieces separately are just infinite. So go for it! Go for a total leather look. Keep on experimenting and see what makes you feel comfortable and special.

Let’s face it. We have all spent too much time at home in our pjs and joggers and we’re craving for some good-old-times dressing up. I’m here for it ladies! I’m wearing my most lavish feather party-dress to celebrate a dear friend’s birthday, (when covid safety regulations allowed small gatherings). And I was there to party because if there’s one thing the lockdown has taught us all, that is to never take anything for granted ever again. It is the time to reflect, evaluate, prioritize, appreciate and party hard whenever we get the chance to! I go for ‘’more is more’’ with any opportunity I get, I unapologetically own the look and dance the night away.

I chose to wear this extravagant feather dress because I honestly feel that it gives me wings! Wearing it empowers me. It fills me with the recognition that I can still play the game on my own terms, no matter the constraints, no matter the rules. And it, once again, highlighted how the things that are physically closest to our bodies – our clothes, (just like the people that we love, hug and kiss) – can dramatically change our mood, our attitude and eventually our perspective.

No matter if there’s no party going on at the moment, the ritual of going into my wardrobe and putting together an outfit, it’s an event on its own right. And here’s what I’ve come to realize: that rather than being restricted by fashion during lockdown, I’ve been emancipated by it. The idea of dressing for myself, with no societal dress codes or rules to follow, has become a revelation. It is the most liberating feeling of all!

When everything around us is falling apart, dressing up is an act of revolution! The most glamorous, extravagant, voluminous and loudest things in my wardrobe offer me a hand to fight the lows of any situation. They become the bright anticipation that better days are coming. They became the wings of my imagination that transform my thoughts and lift my spirit. That’s the power of fashion and that’s one of the main reasons I so much love my job. It gives me wings and makes me fly!

What’s more empowering than wearing a dress that makes you feel divine? I have always believed that making clothes goes beyond dressing people. It is in fact, an act of transformation.

Putting on a powerful dress, both feminine and impressive, like this modern goddess inspired gown, can make a women feel different about herself. It definitely has this effect on me! Choosing the right occasion dress for the day is an act of empowerment, one that helps create a powerful image. An image of independence. An image of strength. Without compromising femininity. After all, femininity is our super power dear friends.

Being women comes first and celebrating womanhood through beautiful clothes that project and embrace all sides of our feminine nature is indeed an act of empowerment. Be a goddess! Dress for it! Live for it!
