VOGUE US TRIBUTE TO "ALEXANDER MCQUEEN"

2011-04-21T14:40:00.000-05:00

Photo by Stiven Klein (American Vogue / April 2010)

Vogue US Magazine pays tribute to British designer Alexander McQueen (rip) in May 2011 edition, with a magnificent editorial with the title of "Alexander The Great", photography by renowned photographer Stiven Meisel and the intervention of the fashion editor Grace Coddington, she makes this editorial tribute to McQueen "In two words sublime and excellent".

Giant boxes the size of elephant containers arrived in New York earlier this year. I was there as they were unpacked - rather than contain exotic animals, these crates were filled with some of the most imaginative and stunning pieces of clothing ever created. The photographs, giving a mini tour in the work of the designer presented some of his best pieces from past collections (such as works of art). The designer Sarah Burton (Creative Director of Mcqueen) tells us details of each creation.

let your eyes light up!

WIDOWS OF CULLODEN, FALL 2006

“The collection was about the 1745 massacre of the Scottish Jacobites by the English, which Lee felt so passionately about because of his Scottish family heritage, which his mother had researched. The women were the widows of the slaughtered army. This dress was actually based on my wedding dress—I got married two years earlier. We had to figure out how to make lace work in the round with those ruffles because Lee hated gathering. So we cut out all of the flowers from the lace and reappliquéd it on tulle to make our own fabric. This is the collection most people remember as the one with Kate Moss in a hologram. Oh, my God, it was so beautiful. He loved that show.”

On model Karen Elson: silk-lace ruffled dress.

VOSS, SPRING 2001

“So much of this show was about the collective madness of the world. It was presented in a two-way mirrored glass box in London, and the girls had bandaged heads, acting like inmates of a mental asylum. Lee wanted the top of this dress to be made from surgical slides used for hospital specimens, which we found in a medical-supply shop on Wigmore Street. Then we hand-painted them red, drilled holes in each one, and sewed them on so they looked like paillettes. We hand-painted white ostrich feathers and dip-dyed each one to layer in the skirt.”

On model Stella Tennant: red-and-black ostrich-feather dress.

NUMBER 13, SPRING 1999

“This was from the amazing show in London where Shalom Harlow stood on a turntable and was spray-painted by robots. This particular look was made from wood to form the shape of a fan: It was all about the craftsmanship. The wooden wings were in this show, too, and the prosthetic legs he had carved for Aimee Mullins, who walked in the show. That was so moving. There were so many ideas in there. Each of his shows was like ten of anyone else’s.”

On model Karlie Kloss: leather halter top and wood fan skirt.

SARABANDE, SPRING 2007

“The collection was based on Handel’s ‘Sarabande’ in the film Barry Lyndon. It was held in the round at the Cirque d’Hiver Bouglione in Paris, with classical musicians playing onstage under a giant chandelier. This dress had fresh flowers on it. We put them on just before she went out, and they started to fall off one by one as she walked. I remember people saying Lee timed it. We had a laugh about that. It was an accident!”

On model Caroline Trentini: silk dress embroidered with silk and fresh roses, hydrangeas, and peonies.

IT’S ONLY A GAME, SPRING 2005

“All the girls were dressed as chess pieces, and the show was choreographed as a chess game. It was about the chessboard of fashion. Lee did have foresight and a sense of humor! This is one of the two horse pieces. He made it by commissioning Steve Powell, a hospital prosthetics expert, to make the body. And the horsetails were from the same suppliers who make the plumes for the queen’s Royal Horse Guards.”
On model Raquel Zimmermann: molded leather dress with horsehair skirt.

VOSS, SPRING 2001

“This is a straitjacket, a kimono with the sleeves strapped around the back, embroidered with raised birds and flowers, and the flowers on the hat were real. I saved all the showpieces from every collection because I’m an obsessive, obsessive hoarder. Sometimes Lee would look at them again, just to remember what he’d done with something. It was his dictionary he was building, really.”

On model Coco Rocha: silk-embroidered wool jacket and cigarette pants.

Enjoy it!

ORISHIKI SUITCASE BY NAOKI KAWAMOTO

Naoki Kawamoto is a Japanese industrial designer, worldwide is known for his work, excelled design of the suitcase called "ORISHIKI" which has a complex shape, created by Naoki K. (reminds me of the industrial work of Thierry Mugler).

He describes his work:

"My degree project at RCA 2009. Orishiki is a hybrid Japanese word of my own invention. “Ori” refers to Origami folding paper art. “Shiki” comes from furoshiki which describes the use of a large handkerchief folded to provide endless functions such as carrying wine bottles or toys, or even wearing as an item of clothing. The furoshiki’s versatility inspired the way that Orishiki works."

---o---

When I met his work, first I wanted to show his work of this incredible Japanese artist. And...this is the first time, I writing a small article in my blog about the new section called "You Want IT, You Got It. "

And of course We All Want this Suitcase!

and we also want this clutch too!.....

Scissor Sisters (Del Marquis, Ana Matronic, Jake Shears & Babydaddy)

American alternative band formed in 2001. The members consist of vocalists Jake Shears and Ana Matronic, multi-instrumentalist Babydaddy, lead guitar/bassist, Del Marquis, and drummer Randy Real (who replaced former drummer Paddy Boom). "Spawned by the scuzzy, gay nightlife scene of New York", they took their name from a sexual position between two women also known as tribadism.

Released in 2004, their self-titled debut album raised public awareness of the band's existence. The album gained much success in the United Kingdom – a country they call their "spiritual home" – where the album went to number one, was the best-selling album of that year and was later certified platinum by the BPI. Although merely successful in their native United States, the album was also a chart success in countries around Europe, in Australia and in Canada. Several releases from the album accomplished positions within the top-twenty of the UK Singles Chart including: "Laura", "Comfortably Numb", "Take Your Mama", "Mary" and "Filthy/Gorgeous" – the latter also went to number one on the Billboard chart for Hot Dance Club Songs. In 2006, the band released their second studio album, Ta-Dah, which proved to be a commercial and critical success and scored the band two consecutive number-one albums in UK as well producing their debut number-one single in the UK "I Don't Feel Like Dancin'". Displaying a shift towards a more club-oriented sound, their third studio album, Night Work, was released in 2010; charting at number two on the UK Albums Chart.

Scissor Sisters have collaborated with a number of other well known pop musicians including Elton John and Kylie Minogue ; these particular collaborations have been received positively by both critics and other notable figures. Bono, lead vocalist of rock band U2, described Scissor Sisters as "the best pop group in the world" in 2004. They also collaborated with Global Cool in 2007, on one of their green lifestyle campaigns.

Looking for a home

Feeling so alone

Who settled for the thrill
Of basking in my spotlight
I never felt so happy

PARIS FALL - WINTER 2011

2011-03-06T23:00:00.000-05:00

The fashion show of Christian Dior was one of those expected by the press and buyers. With the problems of the last weeks (the dismissal of John Gallino) looked like a funeral, maybe the departure of one of the great designers of our time (Galliano). Karlie Kloss opened the show wearing a long coat, big hat, high leather boots to the knee, a whole focused on the bohemian style (Model make-up like baby dolls). Important pieces in the collection: long dresses, short dresses, leather boots and handbags. The end of the fashion show was a nostalgic moment in which all the craftsmen and seamstresses to Christian Dior, came out to greet the public (with tears in their eyes). At the end was heard to say "the king is gone."

Isabel Marant (His American style) in her collection was inspired by the American tribes, the models wore jeans, coats and jackets of large size, and wedge-heel boots. (Very natural make-up and hair style).

Alber Elbaz takes us on a journey. His collection for Lanvin was focused on volume, silhouette refined and exploration into new types of fabrics. (Elegant, sophisticated and sexy define this show). Pedro Lourenço explores simple silhouettes, fur, and a monochromatic palette. (Inspired by the latest collections from Balenciaga?)

Enjoy!

Oh Baby, just hold this lonely fan and hear him say

Don't let me turn to sand and blow away
Though this crowded desert called Paris
Sans doute la seule femme qui pouvait dire
"Paname"

I feel love, Paris Paris
Love to love, Paris Paris
Feelings so close to my heart...

PARIS FALL 2011

2011-03-05T18:06:00.001-05:00

Hakaan works his "Glam" way (trends of the season: masculine-feminine). The dark side Damir Doma, sensory and dressage. A kind of immaculate and strong woman (Love the shoes of this collection). Gareth Pugh re-inside in their usual materials, leather and fluid silhouettes, certainly the religious issue was part of his collection, a dark side (Black tones) to most striking one side (Karlie Kloss in a short dress Gold closes the show).

Air of high fashion will be felt in Rick Ownes show (the color palette was aupe, gray, brown, ivory, and black). The proportions varied between coats and layers of large, everything revolved around a new, more refined by Ownes.

Manish Arora's show was great a series of magic tricks with models, it was very interesting .. Manish Arora's clothing has that touch interesting and appealing to some critics unconventional and dysfunctional. The fact is that I like!.

Balmain rocks the runaway, screams 70's in Every Way, still cool and edgy.

The most anticipated fashion show of the week was that of Mugler. Nicola Formichetti presented his first collection for the brand. With the announced participation of Lady Gaga in the parade (A good advertising strategy) everyone had an eye on the fashion show. The cat walk looks like cathedral "Notre Dame", the show was full deployment theater (with songs by Lady Gaga) reminded me of the old times of Thierry Mugler (With Linda Evangelista, Naomi, Christy T, Tyra ..), the good times. Gothic garments with air, fantasy, mid-century, complex parts, short dresses and long (Blue, Nude, White, Black). I can say that is half satisfied with the show, wish that in the next editions, attention to flow into the clothes and not on an international artist (Advice to Nicola F.).

Here go, Paris Fashion Week. Fav's!

Enjoy!

THE KING IS GONE

2011-03-05T17:38:00.000-05:00

"The entire design team at Christian Dior, clad in white lab coats, walked onto the runway to receive applause after the show in Paris today — the first that would go on without dismissed designer John Galliano in fifteen years. The team received a standing ovation, and though this may not have been the label’s most impressive collection in terms of clothes, it may have been its most impressive collection in a few other ways."

And then the show was off, with Dior face Karlie Kloss opening in a "dramatic cape and knickerbockers." Some in attendance were wondering what was and what wasn't Galliano. Show Studio called the closing lingerie-inspired dresses "exquisite" and "quintessential Galliano." But both they and The Wall Street Journal's Christina Binkley noticed the collection was heavy on handbags — those things that actually make luxury brands money. "No strong point of view here," Binkley added. Meanwhile, the London Times called the front row "very sad," and the clothes "quite subdued," wondering, "where did the weird make up and monobrows go?"

The audience clapped "wildly" when the show concluded, and at least some fashion people seem to have left feeling uplifted, rather than mournful. Binkley tweets that Dior "deserves an award for crisis management," adding, "I honestly think Dior will come out of this better than before. Weirdly a coup for the brand. Very weirdly."

As we wait for more photos to emerge, check out the amazing Twit pics and more coverage of Dior from our blogger friends over at BagSnob.

JOHN GALLIANO, A FALLEN GOD OF FASHION

2011-03-01T19:58:00.000-05:00

The fashion world was shaken by the news of designer John Galliano and wrong behavior attacking a couple with anti-Semitic remarks, the incident occurred on Thursday, February 24 at night, in the bar "La Perle". A few days later came a video which was recorded in December in the same bar and Galliano attacking a customer with your comments. And on February 28, Sidney Toledo President and CEO of Dior, announced the news of the dismissal of Galliano.

The news spread by all means, fashion personalities gave their opinions, one of the most consternation was the actress Natalie Portman (face of Miss Dior Cherie) she felt shocked and overwhelmed by what she saw in the video, and decided to have no link whatsoever with John Galliano.

Christian Dior Fall 1998 Haute Couture Show

¿What will be the future of John Galliano?, and with his name crossed out with that incident. I feel very overwhelmed about this topic, I'm a big fan of John Galliano and all his work, I can say that seeing their collections prompted me to love fashion, but you see what everyone sees, and make my dreams come true. I remember the first show I saw of him, was the Haute Couture Fall 1998 of Christian Dior. It was the most exquisite and beautiful show I had seen in my entire life. When the haute couture was at its highest peak. Linda Evangelista, Christy Turlington and Naomi Campbell paraded in the catwalk.

On March 6, will be the Fashion show of Christian Dior, so far not beencanceled, apparently the show must go on. Can we see Galliano? Leave of his last show for French house. The truth is that there is alight at the end of the road for John Galliano, I hope he recovers, to apologize for their wrong behavior, and returns to shine like the star he is.

He is and was for many designers and fashion lovers the best designer of his time, and hope his legacy continues to persist withtheir work in their own brand.

Best wishes to John Galliano, and let us dream again with his designs.

forever Galliano!
