past you.)” Tilone tells. He admires the Olsen twins and denotes that they
are high on his list of favourite designers and he is attracted to the gran-
deur they exude in their minimalistic approach to the fashion industry
and the comments on there being something to say from taking a step
back from their celebrity statuses. ‘Fashion is not something that exists
in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with
ideas, the way we live, what is happening.’ This quote by Coco Chanel
accurately describes the way Tiloné has deconstructed his approach to
the market. His designs create an interaction and expose the subjectivity
of the subject matter. Even though he illustrates who he admires it cre-
ates and inclusivity of the person who wears it because it might mean
something completely different to them. It is, therefore, no surprise that
TILONÉ as a brand was invited to #Salon 58Cycles as one of the curated
brands by Jackie Burger which the event is her exclusive Salon 58 Soiree.
The event titled #Cycles celebrated Women’s day that showcased and
gave a context of the different ages and stages of womanhood. As a fairly
young brand started in April 2017 Tiloné saw the opportunity to engage
with 120 invited guests as a great success and was delighted when the
APFEL t-shirt was used by Jackie Burger in a style workshop she lead
afterwards. Versace lovers would be pleased to know that Tiloné has ad-
ded new illustrations to the line that including DONATELLA and GIANNI
compelled by her tribute to her brother Gianni at VERSACE SS17 and
Ryan Murphy’s intriguing yet disturbed American Crime story about the
assassination of Gianni Versace in 1997. Tiloné has always found Dona-
tella dear due to his admiration of her strong womanhood and thus she
was a must have to the collection. ANNA, ANNA, ANNA. Tiloné eagerly
explains his future plans for an internship at Vogue after he finishes his
fashion degree. “The closer to Anna the closer to God,” he enthusiastical-
ly exclaims. ‘Don’t be into trends. Don’t make fashion own you, but you
decide what you are, what you want
to express by the way you dress and the way you live.’ – Gianni Versace.
