Charlotte Zimbehl x Alessandro Costa
While Charlotte Zimbehl designs outerwear that embraces the adventures of a cosmopolitan woman, photographer Alessandro Costa journeys across the world documenting architectures of metropolitan cities.
With extensive experience in the fashion industry and sophisticated eye for craftsmanship and quality, London based designer Charlotte Zimbehl created her eponymous label answering to the needs and wants of cosmopolitan women. Putting quality first, her label has defied trends and seasonal constraints to produce continuously effortless and effortlessly sophisticated womenswear, focusing on coats, jackets and outerwear. “Make a statement with your coat” guides her design of statement pieces that last for several seasons and even decades. The collection encompasses Nordic inspired clean-cut lines married with the designer’s penchant eye for chic and coveted Parisian tailoring; put together in London: where each collection is designed and produced, with fabrics sourced from specialised mills in Prato, Italy.
Photographer Alessandro Costa’s work on architecture subtly uncovers the relationship between buildings and its inhabitants and surrounding environment. He captures static fragments of architecture to document the ever changing story behind them. His work are typically taken in areas of city normally filled with crowds, but intentionally showing the architecture as "clean" and empty of the human element that can only be seen through the windows or style of the building. From London iconic hidden architectural gems, historical headquarters of Lehman Brothers, Dubai residential compound, to urban apartment complexes in Vernier, the history and development of civilization is always embedded in his work.
