Resort Trends ´13

2012-07-12T12:17:00.001-07:00

here I want to show u some trends for next summer, enjoy!

NOUVEAU BOHO - GYPSY

From Altuzarra's covetable peasant blouses to haute folksy dresses at Givenchy, designers gave the gypsy look a glam twist.

GREAT JEANS - DENIM

Denim makes the day-to-night transition, with faded petticoat dresses from Chanel, slick tailored suits at Gucci, and Proenza Schouler's new capsule of well-priced jeans.

MARCHING ORDERS - MILITARY

Cargo pockets turned up here, there, and everywhere in military-inspired lineups from Emilio Pucci, Pedro Lourenço, and Burberry Prorsum.

SHEER BLISS

The transparency trend is taking new forms. Celine's Phoebe Philo and Stella McCartney both featured see-through panels and overlays that put the subtle in sheer.

KNEE DEEP - LONG SHORTS

After years of cutoffs, fashion flipped the switch. Alexander Wang and Acne stretched hemlines past the knee and kept silhouettes relaxed for a slightly androgynous look.

BIG GAME THEORY - SAFARI

Leopards and tigers and giraffes, oh my! Derek Lam and Giambattista Valli led the pack of designers showing updated animal prints.

SIXTEEN CANDLES

Full-skirted party frocks of the sort seen at Valentino, Jason Wu, and Prabal Gurung aren't just for teenagers. Tiaras optional.

HOLOGRAPHIC CONTENT

Up-and-comers like Dion Lee and Peter Pilotto stepped into the future with holographic materials with a sci-fi feel.

TWO FOR ONE - TUNIC

From The Row to Roksanda Ilincic, designers are still getting behind the tunic-over-pants look.

Louis Vuitton & Yayoi Kusama

2012-05-28T18:12:00.003-07:00

Louis Vuitton has officially announced their latest collaborator-Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama, who’s known for putting brightly colored dots on everything from pumpkin sculptures to tree trunks to herself.

Ever since they met in 2006, they have been interested in a collaboration with Kusama. Marc Jacobs admits that he and his team “readily embraced” Kusama as they brainstormed ideas for the collection, which will be unveiled on July 10th. The range will consist of dot-covered dresses, bathing suits, jewellery, knitwear, shoes, sounding trench coats, including a bonded cotton number with Kusama’s polka dots over the infamous LV monogram, and a plastic trench featuring hand painted spots. Louis Vuitton is the principal supporter of the Yayoi Kusama exhibition at Tate Modern, and second on upcoming in Whitney gallery in New York.

Pre-fall Wildfox, Which Wildfox girl are u?

2012-03-14T10:05:00.001-07:00

First time I've heard about this brand thanks to the blog of my friend: http://style-xyz.blogspot.com/

Just one look at their site and I want to have all of their clothes.

Here u can see some photos from 2012 pre-fall collection.

Magical Creatures

Magical Creatures is a story written for Wildfox by critically acclaimed author, Francesca Lia Block. Francesca has been an inspiration for Wildfox creators, Emily Faulstich and Kimberley Gordon, since before the birth of Wildfox in 2007. Together Francesca, Emily and Kim have based a collection of dreamy T shirts on the story of 3 very different, magical girls who live in our favorite Wildfox cities – Ella, a fairy from Los Angeles, Cherie, a gypsy from Paris, and Dahlia, a witch from New York. Francesca tells a story of these three girls and their important friendship, a metaphorical weaving of magic and mystery, beautiful clothes, and romantic back drops.

Now you can share in the love of Francesca and Wildfox and decide which girl you are. Read the whole story, meet the characters, and see more inspiration for the collection at: www.magicalcreature.com

2012-03-08T12:10:00.003-08:00

The opening of Marc Jacobs and Louis Vuitton exhibition in Paris.

A must for all fashion lovers, this exhibition focuses on the world of these two giants of fashion. Chic and magical!

From 09 March To 16 September 2012 at Les Arts Décoratifs

MARC JACOBS is the American fashion designer best known for his eponymous label Marc Jacobs, his diffusion line Marc by Marc Jacobs and his tenure at Louis Vuitton as creative director - which commenced in 1997.

see the biography here: http://www.vogue.co.uk/spy/biographies/marc-jacobs-biography

Marc Jacobs says that the making of his forthcoming Louis Vuitton exhibition, which looks at his 15-year reign at the French fashion house, was an "emotional" experience.

"I guess some places I got very emotional just thinking about what the circumstances were when we were doing some things, remembering certain anecdotes or stories, situations, and where we were," said Jacobs. "Whether it was at Rue du Bac or whether we'd just moved to Rue du Pont Neuf or what our team was like when we were five people as opposed to 50 people. So I guess I wouldn't say it was nostalgic, but I had some emotional moments looking at the content of the exhibition. But more than even emotions, it feels kind of joyous, we've done all that and then we're in the process of doing something new. It's not the end of anything."

Not a fan of fashion exhibitions, it took a while for Jacobs to work out how to show his work in a way he felt comfortable with.

"I always find it a bit difficult to deal with the idea of fashion and museums and I've said that before," he explained. "And I think curators have a kind of cerebral, heady, comparative narrative thing going on. For me the reward of doing what we do is doing it, not when it's done. And when people wear it and love it and covet it or can't wait to have it, whatever it is. So I think my attitude towards the whole thing was that I was very flattered, but how do we make this experience of what fashion is all about - which is the joy."

The 2012 Guardian Angel collection. Vlieger & Vandam

2012-03-08T11:20:00.000-08:00

I want!!!!!!! My number one: The big black one and green clutch made of suede.

Vlieger & Vandam is an Amsterdam based accessories label, founded in 2004. The label focusses on bags and small leather goods for women and men. Besides presenting new collections every season, Vlieger & Vandam collaborates with fashion brands and artists to create unique pieces or limited editions. The Vlieger & Vandam studio is situated right in the center of Amsterdam. Every year Carolien Vlieger and Hein van Dam visit their studio in New York for a month to develop new collections.

Guardian Angel, a Vlieger & Vandam classic

The Guardian Angel bags narrate of the increasing violence and crime in the media, objectifying our addiction to fear. The first series of Guardian Angel bags were made of second-hand handbags and wool felt embossed with distinct silhouettes of handguns and kitchen knives reminiscing of Hitchcock’s iconographic thriller Psycho. In 2002 they were an instant hit in the media and in 2005 the MoMA Museum of Modern Art in New York included a Guardian Angel bag in their exhibition ‘Safe, Design Takes On Risk’. In 2006 MoMA added a Guardian Angel bag to its permanent collection.

A visual history of the brand, Cartier

2012-03-08T09:45:00.003-08:00

Yesterday my friend showed me this photo:

I fell in love in this ring and decided to make some post about awesome jewelry as it is Cartier.

L'Odyssée de Cartier

A visual history of the brand, Cartier

The new Cartier film, which took two years to make, is a journey between dream and reality and the very first time Cartier has decided to create a cinema epic focusing on its 165 year history, its values and inspiration, its artistic and universal scope. The lush visual story features the Panther, the historical icon of the House of Cartier. Cartier has made this three and a half minute commercial, L'Odyssée de Cartier, which is a beautiful three and a half minute film consisting of seven chapters, shot by Bruno Aveillan for the luxury brand.

Cartier luxury jewelry is a standard among jewelers. It is a family business started with Louis-Francois Cartier. Two generations later, Pierre Cartier opened up a Cartier shop in London. The first shop opened in 1902. Seven years later, the New York shop was opened. With the help of his brothers, Jacques and Louis Cartier, the business thrived. After the death of his brothers in 1942, Pierre moved his shop to Paris until his retirement in 1947. Since that time, Cartier has become world renowned and shops exist all over the world.

Fine jewelry designs at Cartier are exclusive. Cartier luxury jewelry is sometimes carried at other fine jewelry shops, but no other designers work is carried at a Cartier shop. The Cartier style is classic and timeless. Their simple but elegant designs are always chic and high quality.
