Milano: Fashion Week - S/S 2013 – Ter et Bantine. The
Ter et Bantine new collection is described as a “A rough taste of stripped down
couture, a project designed to get to the very heart of the matter: elegant
style and a fascination with shapes.”
The designer Manuela Arcari’s recurring sources of inspiration are, work
clothes, the 1960s, military uniforms, men’s tailoring, which are turned into a
collection of truly classic basic pieces: tops skirts, jackets and trousers.

Bantine. Separate looks can be created from different complementary pieces,
with the midriff exposed.
Ter et
Bantine: backstage - the hair. Eugene Souleiman designed the hair style “The
clothes are beautiful and conceptual from a tailored and fabric point of view,
therefore I wanted the hair to be “poorer” than the clothes. The girls needed
to be more disheveled.” He explained.

Bantine: backstage. Model, Xiao fools around with her agent from IMG model agency.
Ter et
Bantine: backstage – the make up. The make up was created by Helena Komarova.
“It’s very simple. Luminous skin, young and fresh, shinning highlights points
sculpt the face. The eyebrows are
bushy. In fact the make up is nearly
invisible, it’s modern, technological and fresh.”
