What did you do Dries?

Location. Paris.
Season. Fall 2012 Menswear
Theme: "Psychedelic elegance"

You see, everytime the feeling is the same. You get to watch the runway show, get to see the shooted details from the collection and you can already find the story for it.. but with Dries van Noten every collection has a subtle idea behind everything.
The Belgian fashion designer presented in Paris for the Fall season a collection based on both poems and surrealistic paintings.

The bright patterns, the beautiful prints splashed onto shirts, jackets and pants, the shoes dyed in golden orange and made of crocodille leather plus the oversized coats seemed to represent The Keys that unlocked his male models.

The show was "something else" because of the themes that came togheter even the artists that graffited walls across the runway with captions from Oscar Wilde’s poems brought inovation to this idea. It was quite an idea..and the critics had to admit it.What did you do Dries? We start falling in love more and more with you.

Dolce & Gabbana Fall 2012

Pavarotti's music was the first to open the show presented in Milan for Fall 2012 Menswear. Sicilian style, embroidered fabrics, dark colours plus gold accents, cashmere underwear and a lot of velvet.

The whole show, so perfectly inspired by all the historical fragments of the big aristocratic families's lifes, was like bringing back the 1900's past. A beautiful masterpiece...

Quote of the day: "I've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision. I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one. I've learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone... people love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back.. I've learned that I still have a lot to learn...
I've learned that people will forget what you said.. people will forget what you did.. but people will never forget how you made them feel.” M.A.

The Other Way

He left behind the pink perls and the degradee motifs from the previous collection to "frighten" us with the new one and show us the other way possible.
Ricardo Tisci's talent proves us again his capability of working in antithesis with two different ideas, the angel and the demon.
With his detailing not changing, his marvelous collection was the most expected one to be seen from Paris Couture Fashion Week.
A player when it comes for the ambient also, Tisci chose a simple, ordinary gym classroom as the place for showing his couture creations, emphasising the idea of everything's weakness in front of the titanical act of art.
What do you say? .. I am certainly loving it!

The Dress.

Lightness seems to be the best word to describe Saab's collection presented in Paris for the CFW 2012. We already got used to the style and the same line that the designer works with in every new runway show that he and his team put togheter.
No big changes, not even one new idea that could excite the audience seems to not bring such a big enthusiasm on his collection's reviews. All in one, we respect his work and like it but ..we begin to feel a little bored by all the present and omnipresent sparkles.

The collection was probably designed thinking of the "something beautiful to wear for the red carpet" idea. Presented in a quite and nice ambient, the show highlighted simple lines and shiny details combined with pale colours such as baby blue or pure white and mint green.
We like it but we begin to feel kind of too used to this only one style of showing it each and every time, right?

"The Gentlemen" by Christopher Bailey

Presented in Milan a couple of days ago. Bailey's collection focused the main menswear piece of the season, "the suit". Called "The Gentlemen", the collection brought again on the runway the label's perfect game of details. Duck-head umbrellas, tailored suits, tapered pants and studded folio cases gave the contemporary look to the classical main pieces of the show.

The collection had it all, from the colour blocks to geometrical prints, patterns and animal motifs. Wisely chosen, we were given the impression of a beautiful chemistry between fabrics with lots of leather, wool, corduroy and tweed that amplified the classic look of the whole collection.
Fact proved again.. Bailey it is, undoubtedly The Master of the menswear details.

Designer to Watch: Bouchra Jarrar

Presented yesterday in Paris Couture FW, Bouchra Jarrar's collection confirmed to the audience and to the critics that the woman behind it has one of the sharpest techinques and visions when it comes to parisian haute couture design.

"I am fascinated by asymmetry, I'm looking for the harmony in it.. because this is life.. I think", said Jarrar when asked about conclusioning her collections so far. Created and based on the masculine style and kept on the same note as in her past runway shows, with stripes, lines and "quiet" chromatics, her collection is the breathe of fresh air of Paris CFW, but also a breakthrough alongside what we are all used to when it comes to "high sewing" creations.

Olivier Rousteing's Art for Fall 2012 Menswear

Already on his second men collection after the leaving of Christopher, the young designer seems to have no doubts about where he wants to go with the changes. Adopting a more refined and classic style, Rousteing it's taking to another level,step by step by degrees the House that Decarnin built.
For the cold season of 2012, he took as inspiration the elegant officers of Russia's Imperial Army, but, still mixed with the rock'n roll trash accents of the old Balmain so... we got to see beautiful pieces like soldierly double-breasted waistcoats or padded motorcycle jeans.
Funny thing though cause so far, on what I've seen we have this imperial-classic-avantgarde style..so I am thinking that for sure this will be one of the biggest and main trends for the season that comes..not bad at all especially as we, at least once in our lives, imagined ourselves queens or kings.. hmm?

Alexis Mabille the New Genius of Avant-Garde Menswear?

Presented a couple of days ago in the City on the Seine, the collection had a big impact on each editor and fashion critic that reviewed the show.
Beautiful shaped and sketched the collection based itself on "royal" fabrics such as velvet or quilted leather and guipure lace. Henry the VIIIth was the designer's inspiration and it seems that he succeeded in bringing on the runway the amazing feeling of past regality.

Beautiful idea, beautiful looks and great great shoes.. J'adore!!

Tommy Ton's Game of Details

Big changes of street style trends or not so big? ..this is THE question
After all the seen snapshots from the off-catwalk scene, it seems that we can't talk about a complet refresh when it comes to adopted styles for FW by our gentlemen. Yes, we still have italian and 'dandy' looks(that by the way, I am not so much into anymore), but, we also have the crazy pattern and print combinations, the rock'n roll accents and the mind blowing neon colours(that I absolutely love).
Not so big, not so big... but the year has just began ..and I just can't wait to see what it will come next! Don't you guys?

Interview: Marc Jacobs talks about...

In a recent interview, Marc talks about different aspects of his life, from how much he changed to his morning routines and how he relates to women. See the highlightes below.

On happiness: "I don't know what the key to happiness is. Happy is just a feeling like every other feeling. I certainly feel happy some days and in general I am pretty happy, but I have all the other feelings as well."

On success and constant flattery: "Well, I just do my job. I'm not really distracted by it. Nice things are very nice to hear and it is flattering when one is given some kind of recognition, but none of that distracts me from what my job is . . . And honestly, no matter how flattering or even un-flattering something is, it doesn't prevent me from getting up and going to work and doing what I love to do."

On changing his lifestyle: "I did it for health reasons. I was really very weak. I had been working very hard and I had some stomach problems, so I saw a nutritionist and he recommended that I go to the gym and change my diet and all of that."

On how he relates to his customers: "It's funny: I enjoy clothing more, I enjoy getting my haircut, I enjoy grooming. In a way it kind of helped me to understand more of what the customer sees in terms of fashion. I got to appreciate it more from a first hand point of view. I like to shop, for example, which I never did before."

On how he relates to women: "I feel much more secure with my body and in some ways I can relate more to the joys a woman gets in terms of taking care of herself."

On his morning routine: "Now I get up early in the morning and I really enjoy getting dressed and putting lotions on my skin and getting manicures— all those things. It's a joy, it is really nice. You know, it used to take me five minutes to get in and out of the bathroom. I would get in the shower, get out of the shower and put on the same clothes every day and I didn't care."

H&M Summer Lookbook 2012

For the summer collection, H&M throws in the game it's own aproach of the '50s.
With a modern and a pin-up accent, the collection leaves behind the neon for chromatics that are more natural but still sexy and chic. Fine accents and details and beautiful cuts seem to shape this collection into a successful one. We want more to see but for now this is the sneak peak

Interview: "I am the winner at the end of the day.."

Ready to start a new project with her close friend Marie-Amélie Sauvé and enjoying her new life after French Vogue, Carine Roitfeld opens up in a recent New York Times article talking about starting over, never giving up and meeting new great people.

On the past year: "This could have been a terrible year for me. It could have been very sad for me. I could have gone off to hide at a spa, or to Riyadh, but instead I changed my personality, and it has been a very successful year.”

On the Roitfeld brand: "Funnily, it is true that my name has become almost a brand. Maybe I will follow Tom Ford. I will not be as successful as him, but I want to have as much fun.”

On returning to her roots as a natural brunette, after five years of being blond: "I think I will be more me."

On losing her 10-year friendship with Emanuelle Alt: "Maybe this was not supposed to be a friendship. If I look at the balance, maybe I lost some people I thought were my friends, but I made so many new friends. I am very happy, in the end, because I am the winner . . . at the end of the day."

Hairstyle Trend: Wet LooK

Wet looks conquered the runways this season and I bet that it's gonna be on top trends also for the season that comes. Tied up or free, messy or perfectly slick wet, wet, wet ..this season was all about it. And because a good idea is always welcomed we got to enjoy it in almost every designer's show.
What do you say .. Love it or not? I certainly do!

Sofia Coppola to direct H&M + Marni Ad Campaign

Versace si acum Marni.
H&M a anuntat de curand colaborarea pe care o va avea pentru sezonul primavara 2012 cu faimosul brand Marni.
Pentru campania publicitara, se pare ca retailer-ul suedez a punctat si o buna cooperare cu Sofia Coppola, recentul regizor nominalizat la premiile Oscar.
Unul dintre purtatorii de cuvant ai brand-ului suedez a afirmat ca aceasta colaborare dintre directorul de creatie Marni, Consuelo Castiglioni si Coppola, reprezinta exact "echipa de vis" cu care H&M este incantat sa lucreze.
Filmul a fost realizat in Maroc cu doua saptamani inainte ca vestea colaborarii sa fie facuta publica. Nu se stie momentan cine a fost modelul ales pentru aceasta campanie insa Elle Fanning a fost surprinsa purtand Marni a doua zi dupa filmarile din Maroc...

Hennes & Mauritz Spring RTW 2012
Noua colectie ce va ajunge in magazinele H&M in curand se pare ca este una putin diferita de ceea ce ne oferea retailer-ul de moda pana acum. In schimbul culorilor care nu ieseau cu mult din tipare si a taieturilor simple, pentru sezonul urmator H&M alege culorile neon si pune accent cat mai mare pe taieturile si elementele geometrice. Un look minimalist in nuante nude si culori tari sau un look bohemian grunge vor fi principalele propuneri H&M pentru 2012.

Cynthia Rowley Spring 2012 RTW

Prezentata la New York, colectia designer-ului Cynthia Rowley a fost una reusita se pare pentru sezonul care urmeaza. Avand ca punct de plecare colectia anterioara, Resort 2012, modul de imprimare a materialelor a fost cam acelasi. Elementele centrale au ramas accentele grafice si printurile florale, elemente ce au incadrat colectia in randul celor care vor oferi piese must-have pentru primavara anului viitor.
Centrata pe un stil sporty dar avand cusaturi care pun in evidenta femininatea, colectia a fost apreciata atat pentru modalitatea de evidentiere a materialelor cat si pentru cadrul ales si detaliile gandite.

Chloé Spring RTW 2012
Colectia adusa pe podiumul de la Paris a designerului Clare Waight Keller (noul creative d. pentru Chloé), a fost una din colectiile care, din pacate, nu a primit multe aprecieri. O colectie simpla , eleganta cu taieturi geometrice si culori nude nu a fost de ajuns pentru a impresiona criticii de moda. "O colectie mult prea simpla, poate prea in limitele in care orice designer s-ar simti in siguranta" , "o colectie feminina cu piese vestimentare fluide dar cu accente rigide totusi", acestea au fost afirmatiile criticilor backstage.

Va fi dificil pentru Keller sa se apropie de modul in care Phoebe Philo obisnuia sa impresioneze publicul..desigur nimeni nu vrea o copie a unui artist trecut, ceea ce Chloé necesita este talentul unic al celui din prezent, singurul care va oferi insa raspunsul pe care casa de moda si toti cei care erau obisnuiti cu ce Chloé reprezenta in trecut il cauta, este timpul. Va fi nevoie de timp pana cand toata lumea se va obisnui cu ideea ca lucrurile au cunoscut o alta intorsatura in cadrul companiei si pana cand toata lumea va si accepta acest lucru.
Pentru mine colectia a fost una care a meritat a fi urmarita, simpla sau poate prea safe, in ansamblu ceea ce imi inspira este liniste, detalii bine gandite, elementele florale alaturate albului sau materialele precum pielea in nuante nude combinate cu matasea transparenta, (atat de folosita la Chloé), au oferit colectiei ceva unic si feminin, un amestesc frumos pentru primavara noului sezon.

Chado Ralph Rucci Spring RTW 2012

Prezentata la New York, colectia a avut un impact incredibil.
Construite intr-un mod simplist pe baza non culorilor si a formelor geometrice si inspirand un stil minimalist, piesele vestimentare create de Rucci au adus o multime de aplauze la sfarsitul prezentarii. Colectia a fost o buna dovada care ne indica faptul ca simplitatea iti ofera mereu siguranta ca nu ai cum sa nu fi apreciat sau sa esuezi atunci cand vine vorba de moda.
Simplu din punct de vedere cromatic si constant pe partea materialelor alese, designerul si a sa modalitate de a structura si de a-si prezenta opera s-au dovedit a fi eficiente iar in final cine a ajuns sa il cunoasca pe Ralph Rucci asa cum este el de fapt, ca artist , s-a indragostit iremediabil de frumusetea simplitatii creatiilor sale.

Burberry Prorsum Spring RTW 2012

O colectie perfecta. Desi probabil o zic cu multa subiectivitate, prezentarea a fost se pare si conform criticilor de moda, una dintre cele mai reusite din intregul "sir" de prezentari de la Londra. Adoptand o gama foarte larga din punct de vedere cromatic, Christopher Bailey a fost si in ceea ce priveste materialele si metodele de detaliere a tinutelor, un maestru. Inspirat de artistul englez Moore, Bailey a adus pe podium un mix de influente etnice, tendite din Africa sau accente exotice in printuri. Muza - Sotia soldatului din epoca trecuta, sotie care isi cauta si isi gaseste inspiratia in creatiile artizanilor locali.
Interesanta idee, interesanta creatie.. nu ca Bailey ar dezamagi vreodata.
"Christopher este pentru industrie o adevarata comoara, un designer care evolueaza, se adapteaza si reuseste sa incarce emotional fiecare colectie pe care o prezinta va reusi sa isi graveze numele in piatra si sa ajunga o legenda", afirma Emanuelle Alt la sfarsitul prezentarii.

Bottega Veneta Spring RTW 2012

Colectia Bottega Veneta pentru sezonul urmator prezentata la Milano a fost o oda adusa culorilor si rochiilor. Accentul in ceea ce priveste linia centrala a colectiei a fost pus de catre designer pe stilul urban, casual chic (exemplu ca baggy jeans sau everyday blazers). Desi nu sofisticata la prima vedere , (la fel de sofisticata cum eram obisnuiti sa vedem inca de la inceputul prezentarii la Veneta), colectia si-a mentinut imaginea de lux prin intermediul accesoriilor...gentile din piele de crocodil si de strut fiind printre principalele elemente care au completat creatiile designerului.

Barbara Bui Spring RTW 2012

O colectie ce parea simpla la inceput, atat din punct de vedere cromatic cat si al materialelor folosite, dar care a fost diversificata foarte mult de la jumatate catre final. Influente multiple alese de designer, de la sporty pana la motivele tribale accentuate pe intreg parcursul prezentarii au oferit pieselor vestimentare o imagine noua si originala. Detaliile ca deobicei au avut un mare aport in "perfectionarea" creatiilor, iar metoda folosita de Barbara, cea a "blanurilor din piele" (fur of leather), cu siguranta va urca in topul must-have-urilor pentru sezonul urmator.

Balenciaga Spring RTW 2012

Complexitate si proportii. Acestea ar putea fi cuvintele care ar descrie poate cel mai bine ceea ce Ghesquiere a incercat sa aduca in prim planul colectiei pentru primavara 2012.
Taieturile geometrice au fost si de aceasta data elementul cheie al colectiei.
Din punct de vedere cromatic, tonurile metalizate au fost cele care au oferit pieselor vestimentare create accente couture (lucru care s-a si dorit de fapt din partea designerului).
"Am dorit sa combin complexitatea couture-ului cu simplitatea vietii de zi cu zi, cele doua metode, momentan, pot descrie perfect, din punctul meu de vedere, ideea Balenciaga si femeia Balenciaga."

Si trece cum trece de fiecare data...ca vantul pe care il simiti mereu..ca vantul care nu lasa in urma lui nimic.
Vine .. sta pentru putin timp si pleaca... ca un necunoscut pe care il intalnesti intamplator dar care, atunci cand apare te poate marca. E timpul meu.. al tau.. e timpul tuturor.. e timpul care uneori poate fi atat de bland si apoi atat de dur..el, cel care vine in intampinarea ta de fiecare data cu amintiri si cel care iti graveaza in minte sau in suflet altele noi mereu...
Si niciodata parca nu mai m-am simtit asa.. probabilitate sigura.. imposibilitate in afirmatii dar adevar constant... stiu ca acum nu a mai fost vreodata.. si imi place asa.. simtind fericirea timpului de acum si constientizand necunoscutul timpului care va urma.. sunt aici acum cu tine.. sunt aici acum si nu vreau sa mai plec... pentru un moment.. traiesc in prezentul amintirilor trecute ..si poate ca toate trec sau poate ca tot aici voi fi si maine asteptand ceva-ul pe care de fapt nu il stiu...
Simt.. Vreau.. Stiu.. ca e bine acum, aici... eu cu tine.. tu cu mine.. si amandoi cu altii...

80% SanSE- Intre Vuitton si Dior
In urma negocierilor avute in ultima perioada, Sidney Toledano, CEO House of Dior, afirma ca momentan asteapta deciziile cu privire la cine va fi numit director de creatie in locul lui Galliano. Daca pana acum toate informatiile care au aparut in presa erau nefondate si percepute ca simple zvonuri..lucrurile se pare ca incep sa se clarifice. Marc Jacobs este cel care,in proportie de 80%, va fi in cele din urma principalul couturier al casei Dior dupa cele aproape 6 luni in care lipsa lui Galliano nu prea a fost simtita(conform lui Toledano), care, sustine ca actiunile companiei au crescut intr-un procent foarte mare in comparatie cu stagnarea pe care au cunoscut-o in era in care fostul designer inca mai avea o foarte mare influenta in cadrul companiei.
Oare poate fi Jacobs la fel de Dior pe cat de Vuitton este acum?
Sincer eu una chiar m-as bucura foarte mult sa faca alegerea de a incerca couture si de a trece la nivelul urmator avand in vedere talentul si intreg bagajul monogramat de cunostinte si experiente pe care il are.. In fond, when one goes up, Galliano must go down.. Ne pare rau John dar meciul acesta l-ai pierdut...

Versace tot mai aproape de H&M

26 de zile pana pe 17 noiembrie. 26 de zile pana la prezentarea in magazinele H&M a colaborarii pe care retailer-ul suedez a avut-o cu Donatella V.
Si acum eu intreb: moda sau mai mult kitsch?

Falling for the new Genius.

Nume: Olivier Rousteing
Varsta: 25 de ani
Functie: Director creatie Balmain
Pasiune: Moda.

"Impresionanta", "inovatoare", "diferita intr-un sens bun".. si am putea sa continuam cu multe aprecieri pe care Olivier Rousteing le-a primit din partea criticilor odata cu prezentarea primei sale colectii (in afara de resortul prezentat in Haute Couture Fashion Week).
Influente mexicane si putin Vegas feeling, asa si-a descris designer-ul colectia care s-a dovedit a fi rampa sa de lansare pe podiumul celor mai cunoscuti designeri din industrie.
Mentinuta cam la acelasi nivel, prezentarea a centrat detaliile atat de cunoscute la Balmain.
Pentru colectia primavara/vara 2012, Rousteing a contribuit intr-o masura destul de mare la schimbarea stilului de creatie, a renuntat la imaginea trashy (prezenta in fiecare colectie a lui Decarnin) in schimbul unei imagini mult mai rafinate si clar conturate.

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small does not serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.
We are all meant to shine, as children do.
We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.
It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."*M.W.*

Versace Fall 2011 Campaign

Realizata de Mert & Marcus, campania publicitara pentru sezonul rece 2011 al brand-ului Versace prezinta ca principala tema "Focul si Gheata".



Accente militare, taieturi geometrice si auriul, acestea ar fi elementele principale care au reusit sa fie parca mai bine puse in valoare de androginitatea modelului Saskia de Brauw.

Givenchy Haute Couture Fall 2011

Acum doua zile, Riccardo Tisci si-a prezentat la Paris ultima sa colectie haute couture. Avand ca inspiratie Paradisul, designer-ul a incercat sa aduca in creatiile sale elementele care ar exprima cel mai bine idee centrala pe care s-a bazat intreaga colectie, si anume culoarea si aplicatiile pretioase. "Puritate, lumina si fragilitate, acestea sunt elementele pe care am vrut sa le aduc sub privirile celor care imi admira colectia" , afirma designer-ul dupa prezentare.

Din punct de vedere cromatic, cele 10 creatii s-au centrat pe o singura non culoare(albul), avand insa mici insertii de alte nuante asemanatoare.
Luni intregi au fost necesare pentru a porni de la primele schite si a ajunge pana in momentul prezentarii, decoratiile si broderiile necesitand o perioada foarte mare de finalizare. Pentru a pune in valoare materialele folosite, Tisci a combinat predominant perlele si cristalele, "aplicatii ce captureaza lumina intr-un mod spectaculos".

Prin intreaga creatie prezentata la Paris, prin elementele folosite, cum ar fi penele ornamentale brodate atat de des incat pareau a fi blana, sau aplicatiile in dégradé care nu schimbau doar nuantele, dar care treceau si de la aspectul lucios la cel mat, prin toate tehnicile si detaliile folosite, aceasta colectie nu face decat sa releve evolutia pe care Riccardo Tisci couture-erul a avut-o de la inceput pana in prezent.

Same * Chloe.

Cu o noua faţă(Clare Waight Keller) care urmeaza sa preia conducerea din octombrie ca director de creatie a brand-ului, colectia Resort 2012 mentine pentru un moment linia pe care Hannah MacGibbon a urmat-o de-a lungul sezoanelor trecute. Echipa de creatie a dorit si pentru aceasta colectie sa se focuseze pe elementele clasice Chloe (ex. rochia trapez sau pantalonii largi cu taieturi masculine), iar Jacquelyn Jablonski este modelul care a pus totul in scena.

Christian Louboutin shows some ART

Noua colectia de pantofi Louboutin toamna/iarna 2011/2012 atrage priviri si inspira prin lookbook-ul aparut. Arta este cuvantul reprezentativ pentru noii pantofi cu talpa rosie creati de designer, iar pentru a evidentia acest lucru si mai bine s-a hotarat colaborarea cu celebrul fotograf Lippmann care a vizualizat noile creatii intr-o epoca medievala presarata cu ispite si tentatii care duc spre pacat. Interesanta transpunere a ideilor ...

De la Alber Elbaz la Donatella Versace

17 noiembrie 2011
300 de magazine
colaborarea sezonului . Versace si H&M

Trebuie sa recunosc ca astept de ceva timp vestea unei colaborari asa cum ne-a obisnuit H&M in fiecare an, o colaborare mare. Daca anul trecut retailer-ul de moda suedez ne-a facut placerea de a se alia cu Lanvin pentru colectia toamna/iarna 2010/2011, anul acesta tot pentru sezonul rece primim o veste la fel de buna as spune .. Versace.
Din cate am observat, chiar daca e putin cam devreme sa vorbim despre ea, colectia va curpinde atat piese vestimentare pentru femei cat si pentru barbati si articole pentru casa.
Linia pe care Donatella a ales-o pentru crearea outfit-urilor, (vor fi 30 de outfit-uri), se pare ca se va centra pe elemente glamour pe care directorul de creatiei al casei de moda obisnuieste sa le aduca mereu pe podium. Tinte, piele, print-uri, matase, high heels si bijuterii sunt cateva din elementele pe care le vom gasi in colaborarea cu H&M.

Pentru colectia destinata barbatilor, elementul central va fi smoking-ul cu taieturi simple si cusaturi fine deci atentie domnilor!
Preturile vor fi in jurul a 1299 RON sau 799 RON rochiile lungi din matase sau din piele cu aplicatii metalice sau 90 RON accesoriile.
Se pare ca aceasta nu va fi singura colaborare cu Donatella pe care H&M o va avea.. cei doi vor colabora si pentru colectia pre-spring 2012 care va intra in magazine pe data de 19 ianuarie.

Sincer, deabia astept sa vad si eu lookbook-ul si campaniile de promovare.
Ieri Lanvin, azi Versace, cine stie .. maine poate vom avea Balmain !?

Colours that.

This season is definitley all about neon colours.. on the runway, in the streets, you will see them everywhere and I have to admit that I have fallen in love with them too. It's a crazy summer with crazy colours that will bring the sun up even if outside it's raining.. so .. let the neon shine baby!

Sezonul acesta se pare ca cele care dau tonul atunci cand vine vorba de buna dispozitie, stil si moda sunt culorile neon. Aparute in majoritatea colectiilor ale fiecarui brand mai mare sau mai mic albastrul, galbenul, rosul sau verdele neon sunt se pare cele care vara aceasta pun in umbra nuantele mai soft.

Alaturi de colectia Conscious by H&M , acum retailer-ul suedez ne aduce asa cum obisnuieste de 4 ani incoace o noua colectie care are ca principal scop informarea si sustinerea persoanelor infestate cu virusul HIV. Un procent de 25 % din vanzarile incasate va fi donat organizatiilor care se ocupa cu sprijinul acordat persoanelor seropozitive. Intitulata Fashion against AIDS ! colectia imbina stilul androgin si cromatica metalica creand astfel piese vestimentare unisex. T-shirt-uri cu mesaje clare de genul "Stay safe, stay negative" sau "We wear, we care" sunt imprimate pe materiale precum matasea sau bumbacul. Colectia se va gasi intr-un singur magazin H&M si anume in cel din Unirea Shopping Center la parter in departamentul Divided Black.
Pana in momentul de fata, prin intermediul campaniei, FAA a donat 41 de milioane de SEK pentru Designers against AIDS(DAA) cu care de altfel se afla si in stransa colaborare. Colectia a fost pusa in vanzare in 150 de magazine din toata lumea din data de 26 aprilie si se va putea cumpara pana pe 10 mai.
Printre celebritatile care promoveaza in acest an colectia se afla Selma Blair, Penn Badgley, Akon sau The Misshapes.

Translation: Yes, they can ...
Attitude and style ..because one without the other it can't be possible... attitude and style that's what really matters when you talk about fashion. And definitely no one can capture it better than my favorite street fashion photographer.

Pentru ca ei pot!..
Atitudinea si stilul reprezinta in definitiv cele mai importante elemente atunci cand vine vorba de moda si da... din punctul meu de vedere T. Ton este cel mai talentat fotograf atunci cand discutam despre capacitatea cuiva de a captura o secventa reprezentativa, un detaliu bine gandit.

A trecut ceva timp de cand nu am mai postat un articol si sincer chiar va spun ca imi pare rau. Ultima perioada a fost putin mai agitata decat de obicei cu facultate plus un alt job plus noul proiect care din pacate a fost putin amanat si recunosc ca am neglijat intr-o oarecare masura blog-ul dar de azi voi incerca sa revin la treaba.
Sper ca sunteti bine toti si ca toate planurile decurg asa cum vreti voi sa decurga si va astept in continuare mail-urile si va promit celor care m-au intrebat cand o sa ne vedem ca vom stabili aici pe blog o data in care sa putem toti sa iesim si sa ne cunoastem.

P.S: Va multumesc pentru ca ati ramas tot aici cu mine.

jewelry and Matthew McConaughey in Dolce & Gabbana tuxedo

Aseara a avut loc decernarea premiilor Oscar, si asa cum ne-am obisnuit in fiecare an, imediat dupa aparitia celebritatilor pe covorul rosu, apar si comentariile asupra tinutelor alese.

Desi unele dintre vedete au castigat din partea criticilor aprecieri pentru aparitiile de pe Covorul Rosu, nu s-a intamplat la fel si cand a venit vorba de castigatorii serii.
4 au fost filmele care au detinut controlul si au luat cam tot ce se putea lua.

Principalii castigatori au fost realizatorii filmelor The King's Speech si Inception, fiecare cu cate patru premii castigate.

Nici “Reteaua sociala” (The Social Network) nu a fost cu mult mai prejos.Filmul a castigat premiul pentru cel mai bun scenariu adaptat, precum si cele pentru montaj si coloana sonora.

In ceea ce priveste actorii si prestatiile lor, Natalie Portman a fost castigatoarea premiului pentru cea mai buna actrita intr-un rol principal in filmul „Lebada neagra” (Black Swan).

Sfarsit Martie = H&M

Chiar daca si-a anuntat venirea de ceva timp in Romania, H&M isi va deschide primele magazine la sfarsitul lunii martie.
Pe data de 25 martie, la ora 11:00, va avea loc inaugurarea primului magazin H&M, in AFI Palace Cotroceni. Magazinul are doua etaje, cu o suprafata totala de aproximativ 1.700 de metri patrati, si va fi deservit de o echipa de circa 60 de angajati. Al doilea magazin, care se va deschide la Unirea Shopping Center pe 26 martie, la ora 11:00, are o suprafata de vanzare de aproximativ 2.500 metri patrati, iar numarul de angajati se ridica la 80.

“Romania este o piata foarte promitatoare pentru H&M si abia asteptam sa oferim consumatorilor romani moda de cea mai buna calitate la cel mai bun pret. Prin intermediul birourilor noastre de productie avem deja relatii comerciale de durata cu parteneri din Romania si suntem bucurosi sa ne extindem prezenta la nivel national.” A declarat Karl-Johan Persson, CEO H&M.

Sa speram ca odata cu venirea H&M, poate ne vom bucura intr-un viitor apropiat si de deschiderea altor lanturi de magazine foarte cunoscute pe plan international, dar absente in Romania,magazine precum Topshop.

* Zara Spring/Summer *

Zara Men

Casual si lejer..mai simplu de atat nici ca se poate. Zara isi propune in acest sezon sa aduca in prim plan camasile inchise pana la ultimul nasture,tendinta pe care am observat-o mai demult la brand-urile mai mari si in moda strazii, si pe care, se pare, ca si Zara a ales-o ca un element oarecum central in lookbook-ul sezonului.

Zara TRF G/B

In ceea ce priveste colectie TRF, Zara continua sa ofere o gama destul de variata de piese vestimentare cu aspect "trashy"..t-shirtu-uri baggy sau hanorace, actorul principal,ramanand si de aceasta data insa, denimul.

Zara Women

Taieturi geometrice, volume, multe culori spre deosebire de celelalte sectoare ale brand-ului in care s-a mentinut, din punct de vedere cromatic, linia nonculorilor sau a nuantelor nude.. colectia pentru femei propune o idee destul de diferita fata de celelalte..si sincer, cu o nota de subiectivism spun ca de catevea sezoane Zara nu ma mai impresioneaza asa cum o facea si imi da impresia ca standardele sale au mai scazut din toate punctele de vedere, de la designul ales pana la materialele din care sunt realizate piesele vestimentare, nu stiu care este motivul,dar cert e ca Zara nu mai e magazinul in care intram si din care plecam cu multe pungi de cumparaturi.
