Two months of absence is more than enough... But I have very good reasons for that and I'm sure you will understand... or, I hope you will so.<br />
<br />
So, I left you on the 8th of April back in Athens, living in a small apartment with my boyfriend and our cat, searching for a job in London, preparing to apply at London College of Fashion for a Fashion Journalism Master and being in the brink of depression.<br />
<br />
Two months later I have moved in London, have found a job, have applied at LCF and still waiting for a reply (hopefully positive) and have found myself again... Well, I feel kind of lonely, but I like it here. The only thing I don't like, and am trying not to thinking about, is the room where I'm gonna move in 4 days. I HATE London apartments. But I hope it will only last for 1 month and a half, so I will be patient. And now I see why my boyfriend called me stupid when I told him that I want to stay in Elephant and Castle, cause I love its name. Cause this area has nothing to do with the fairy tale name it firstly brought me in mind when I saw it on the map... But still, I hope I won't stay there long.<br />
<br />
These two months of my absence were vital for my life and extremely busy, so I don't regret leaving you. The first one, until the 10th of May I had to manage be prepared for the IELTS Exams, which I needed to take in order to apply at the LCF, prepare my application for LCF and finally move out from my lovely apartment in Athens. The second month I had to come in London and search for a job, which didn't last long, while I was called for an interview my 3rd day here. So, three weeks later I am working part time at Gap and am searching for another part time job, cause I have to make a living here...<br />
<br />
During my absence I tried some times to post something but I didn't manage it in the end. So, now I'm gonna post what I wanted to back in May, so don't wander about the sunny photos, cause it was already summer back in Athens when I left...<br />
And these were my April-May inspirations more or less:<br />

These bags are the hottest thing I've seen lately! It's going to be the talk of the town and I'm sure of it. Urania Gazelli is a greek designer who decided to bring together the family business with fashion. And she 's doing great!<br />
Her plexiglass clutch bags blew our minds at Paris Premiere Classe one month ago with their originality and elegance. I had never thought before that a material as cold as this could be transformed into such a fresh fashion item. The bags are totally handcrafted with Plexiglass being the basic material and are signed with the brand's signature gold sign on the inside.<br />
Sadly, they are not on the market yet but they are going going to be available on her <a href="http://www.uraniagazelli.com/blog/" target="_blank">website</a> soon, for online purchases. As for the prices, there's going to be a range between 400-700 euros, which I find very logical if you consider how expensive the material is and that each one of them demands two full days of work until ready to be carried.<br />
<br />
Let me know how you find them, cause I dream of the day I'll carry one of them...<br />

You probably are already aware of it and I would be as well if I was visiting asos more often, but I have to admit that I prefer Topshop as it concerns online shopping (my eyes can't stand the image overload over there and after a few pages I'm knocked out).<br />
So, back to the tights now. It's the collaboration of House of Holland with Pretty Polly that fascinated me and it's no wonder why. The colour variety is not wide, as they only come in two or three colours with black dominating the collection. The prints though are great and even the animal-printed version could become a part of my wardrobe (which would be so not me, as I I'm not very fond of animal prints, however this is a really good one). Thus I think you already got it: even though summer is approaching I'm going to buy a pair of them for sure... and I'm not sure if I'm going to wait until fall to wear them. Don't forget that there are also three pairs you can find exclusively to asos. Visiting <a href="http://www.asos.com/search/house-of-holland-tights?hrd=1&q=house+of+holland+tights&SearchSuggestUsed=true" target="_blank">this page</a> can get you directly to the whole collection...<br />
Have a nice shopping time!<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> All this luxury! Can't wait to get dressed like a silent movie star, since the hottest news of this season is undoubtedly the 1920s come back and I love it. Dropped waists and straight-line chemises, feathered head bands, pleats, opera gloves and cloche hats. However, for the Spring/Summer 2012 season the 1920s style was only adopted by the evening wear. Still, we have a lot daywear of this decade (including cloche hats, which is not exactly my cup of tea) to see in the Fall/Winter season. Or, if you can't wait until next season, I have found plenty of these at <a href="http://www.etsy.com/" target="_blank"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">etsy</span></a> and <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"><a href="http://www.ebay.com/" target="_blank"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">ebay</span></a> </span>and I'm sure I'm going to find a lot more after a small search...

All of them represent different styles I am fond of, but in the same time they all are elegant and chic. As for the men, they also constitute icons and represent the men's style I mostly admire. I must to admit though that if the same outfits were worn by other movie stars, it wouldn't be the same. It is no coincidence that I admire most of them as actors too and these movies (well, not all of them) are some of my favourites. So, here they are and I hope that some of you agree with me, at least with some of them...<br />

Of course this renunciation of my life was due to the great mass of Queen and Pink Floyd vinyls I was listening to all day long, getting on my sister's nerves. This and the Harry Potter-mania were making my ordinary life seem such boring... Then, years later, I discovered the 1950s and a more feminine side of me woke up, thirsty for midi-length full skirts matched with tight tops. The '50s are also responsible for my love for vintage things, lace and chiffon.<br />
Thank God, I no more dream of living back then, as I have found Mika and Prada! Ok, this last one may have been heard a little excessive: Prada is not the only '50s one that I found this season, it's also Louis Vuitton, Dolce Gabbana and many others, but it was a way to introduce you the 1950s' aesthetic video campaign of Prada (another 1950s-based campaign was the one of Louis Vuitton posted yesterday).<br />
We've seen together the campaign in pictures, so now let's enjoy it in motion, too.<br />

A great hit, the first Harry Potter memory, a sound that seems to me vintage, a vintage (1952) Vogue cover and the vintage Prada campaign... </div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-428031263363376925.post-30291273024912463792012-03-23T00:13:00.003+02:002012-03-23T19:37:53.719+02:00A candy world<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> Louis Vuitton's candy-coloured ad campaign for S/S 2012 is just perfect!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The collection itself is a big hit, but the ad campaign is another level. So girly and feminine, so much PINK! It reminds me of innocent girl stuff-talks in the 1950s, like the first kiss or who's the most handsome boy at school. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I loved the big lace collars and the large white buttons on the tweed skirtsuits. And the hair, it was amazing! Marc Jacobs did a great job again! But I started dreaming of pale colours now, like mint, yellow and pink...and the worst I started dreaming of colourful fatty treats, like cupcakes, macarons and candies. The bad thing is only that it's 12 o' clock at night here aka a bit hard to find any of these, which means I 'm going to eat my vanilla ice cream leftovers... (thank God there are some strawberries too in the fridge). </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I'm going for the fridge raid now...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-4k4AETpq2Ss/T2uX5zXdypI/AAAAAAAABW0/CIfvHUbOHco/s1600/topshop+flame+socks.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-4k4AETpq2Ss/T2uX5zXdypI/AAAAAAAABW0/CIfvHUbOHco/s1600/topshop+flame+socks.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div> Those flames add the perfect finishing touch to the whole racing car outfit. Isn't it the greatest match for these shoes?<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-7WlrFCB4PcM/T2uX9WCr7-I/AAAAAAAABW8/KHw7lp7o4Zw/s1600/prada+car+shoe.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-7WlrFCB4PcM/T2uX9WCr7-I/AAAAAAAABW8/KHw7lp7o4Zw/s320/prada+car+shoe.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>And imagine it with a dress of the same collection with the "flames" finishing...<br />
like this:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-hI7kvfNMYYw/T2uYBO9k5eI/AAAAAAAABXE/78cZcGShykg/s1600/Prada+spring+2012.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-hI7kvfNMYYw/T2uYBO9k5eI/AAAAAAAABXE/78cZcGShykg/s320/Prada+spring+2012.jpg" width="213" /></a></div>Isn't it lovely?<br />
On the other hand, it's a great suggestion too for all of us that cannot afford neither a Prada dress nor these shoes. In this case, these socks are the ideal piece to make us feel as "fast and furious" as the Prada girls...</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-428031263363376925.post-49349463556980372852012-03-17T20:20:00.000+02:002012-03-17T20:20:52.547+02:00Monsters University<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> Another animated movie to be late is the prequel of one of Pixar's best and most intelligent movies, the "Monsters Inc.". The movie entitled "Monsters University"tells us the tale of how Mike Wazowski and James P. Sullivan resolved the differences they had when they first met (and couldn't stand each other) and became best friends.<br />
Sadly, the film's release date was pushed back to June 21 2013, instead of November 2, 2012, but we could forgive Pixar and Disney for this if the movie 'll be such great as the first one...<br />

So, last days I suppose you've noticed that I'm kind of fond of videos. It's just a way to relax from Fashion Month and deal with other things going on in fashion world (and not), except for the runway shows.<br />
So, here is this great video for Lanvin Petite Hiver 2012 starring adorable little models and Albert Elbaz...<br />

<br />
After Takashi Murakami the next artist to collaborate with the french label Louis Vuitton is the also japanese Yayoi Kusama. Louis Vuitton has always supported contemporary art either by sponsoring exhibitions or launching special collections in association with artists.<br />
This last collaboration -including leather goods, clothing, footwear and accessories- with Yayoi Kusama, whose retrospective (sponsored by the French label) is currently in Tate Modern (9 February-5 June 2012) is going to be launched in July. Alongside the retrospective another collaboration between the two of them, this time on artworks, is showcased in Bond Street, in Louis Vuitton Maison's exhibition space.<br />
Yayoi Kusama is often acclaimed to be a Pop artist, but she is for sure a lot more than that. Born in 1929, she moved in New York in 1957 and by 1959 she had presented five of her "Infinity Nets", large white canvases covered with light net motives, which garnered comparisons to the Abstract Expressionism movement. In 1961 she went on to develop the "Accumulations", household items covered with white small sacks.<br />

</tbody></table> It was Donald Judd that first noticed her work was all about an obsession with repetition in 1964. This repetition though was that linked her work with the pattern of the phallic symbol. The "Aggregation: One Thousand Boats" installation was crucial, as it incorporated the element of camouflage leading her to her most recognizable pattern: the Dots. The result of this was her most known work, the "Infinity Mirror Room-Phalli's Field".<br />

</tbody></table> The use of the dots motif derives from a psychedelic culture, which also led her to check herself into a mental hospital back in Japan in the 1970s, where she stays until today. Hence it's sad that the only thing that comes in mind when hearing her name is "Dots"and not all this avant-garde background that has highlighted her as one of the most prominent female artists of the postmodernism.<br />
Not to mention that one of her "Infinity Nets", sold by Christie's New York for $5.1 million, hit a record for a female artist back in 2008. Imagine now the success the colourful dotted garments will have in combination with the french luxury brand.<br />
Unfortunately, there are no images of the collection yet, but until that moment, you can visit the <a href="http://www.louisvuittonkusama.com/" target="_blank">special website</a> created for the collaboration and watch interviews of both sides, as well as find further information on Kusama and the Tate exhibition.<br />

<br />
The final day of an exhausting Fashion Month started with a remarkable show that a lot of us are going to bring back in mind for years and years to come...<br />
The train arrived at ten and models started disembark, followed by their porters carrying their precious leather Louis Vuitton luggages. Marc Jacobs has done a terrific job for Louis Vuitton all these past fifteen years he's been working for the label and so was this collection, too. The Stephen Jones hats, just like in the Marc Jacobs colection, just blew your mind and the oversized silhouettes reminded you of another times. The only thing that disappointed me was that, in spite of adoring the silhouettes, they were looking a lot to those at the Marc Jacobs show, still the textiles were more luxurious. Thus, the following queries have been surrounding my mind since then: Why would anyone use the same patterns for two different shows? Is it Marc Jacobs style that has invaded Louis Vuitton, or the opposite? Is it a lack of inspiration? And if so, why doesn't he quit?<br />
But that's just my own perspective. Some may consider it a good aspect, the creation of two slightly different versions of a single collection. However, Miuccia Prada played also with this aspect with her Miu Miu collection that took place some hours later. Though it was not the same, as what Miuccia used for both her collections was not the silhouettes, it was the 1970s' spirit prints, those reminding of wallpapers. And of course both collections were based on pantsuits, after many years of skirts, but this is something totally different and, at the very least, we are talking about her own two labels, not her work for another label.<br />
As for the rest, they played more safely presenting cute, still non-innovative slim silhouettes, while the most interesting works were Masha Ma's constructive trompe-l'-oeil dresses, as well as Allude's burgundy, pashmina-belted pantsuits and Elie Saab's peplum skirtsuits.<br />

I'm terribly sorry for last days' ups and downs, but my life is a mess right now and I'm trying my best to keep posting as often as I can... So, today you are going to read the two last posts on Paris Fashion Week.<br />
On Tuesday 6th March shows started with the Queen of French Fashion, Chanel.<br />
Karl Lagerfeld, after last fall's Interwar collection, turned to novelty this time with the highlight being the Czech Cubism-like polyhedron sleeves, inspired from the exhibition in Prague. However, they could also be inspired by the polyhedron shape of the crystals he used for the show and which have been another inspiration for him as "Nature's the greatest designer", as he stated. In addition, the tweed three-piece suits (trousers-skirt-jacket) he redesigned for this fall were as innovative and fresh as the Lesage magnificent sparkling eyebrows. As for the colours, they remained dark, despite the few unsuccessful coloured outfits.<br />
And while Lagerfeld was bringing Chanel to Today, Sarah Burton was working on a futuristic collection for Alexander McQueen, just to prove that Future can be beautiful. Thus, she combined totally feminine/ sweet decorated jacquard, lace, fur or large pompom dresses with sci-fi visors, continuing with grace the innovative tradition of the House. Kanye West has also been gazing the future with his first attempt to enter the fashion world and he has done well with his slim silhouettes in mostly black leather outfits, like 21st century catwomans with motorbike boots. However, he has done also well with the more feminine side of the collection, as shown by the initial salmon cape-dress.<br />
Alongside the futuristic inspired collections, there were others invoking the past, like Hakaans collection with the '80s references' lamés, Paco Rabanne's reinvented metal dress of Brigitte Bardot and Paul & Joe's english countryside inspired collection. Nonetheless, Jean-Charles de Castelbajac's "Fire on Ice" collection with references on Iceland stood out from the crowd with the eye-catching yellow-black eagle prints and eagle heads on the shoulders.<br />
The real treat of the day though was Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pier Paolo Piccioli's collection for Valentino. Folklore costumes cooperated with haute couture aesthetic and the result was a très très chic and austere collection of crafted feminine above-the-ankle-hemmed dresses and coats, fresh leather high-waist coats and jumpsuits and multicoloured folklore textiles.<br />

The highlight of Paris Fashion Week 7th day was definitely Stella McCartney's hourglass figure, which escaped from the rest minimal styles of the collection.<br />
This figure brought in mind the sensuous '40s figures, but in a contemporary atmosphere, with beautiful midi knitted dresses and skirtsuits. Similar examples we saw also in Giambattista Valli's show and by Stefano Pilatti at his last collection for Yves Saint Laurent.<br />
On the other hand there were Chloé, with a fresh collection combining sportswear with elegant wear, and Pedro Lourenço with a two-dimensions based collection and sleek curve-patterned coats.<br />
As for the rest, Vanessa Bruno presented a collection of minimal dresses and cosy knitted sweaters, Sacai girly knitted outfits emboidered with lace trims and Balmain's diffusion line was based on chic androgyne tuxedos...<br />

Paris Fashion Week is officially over, but since I am unduly left behind I continue today with Sunday's shows...<br />
Well, Sunday started with Abstract Expressionism by the Swiss label Akris, where the designer Albert Kriemler, inspired from Franz Kline's Painting No 7, created a totally colour-blocked collection. The simple forms were structured partially by colour blocks and partially by fabric blocks, mostly leather, which gave the effect of patchwork.<br />
More interesting, though, was Issey Miyake's approach to the same motif: Yoshiyuki Miyamae tried cosy fabrics, like wool and cotton along with tech fabrics and colour-blocked tights, giving the collection a pop and, at the same time, classical feeling. However, the strongest colour-block perspective was Céline's one, with multiple different colour blocks on one particular garment.<br />
In addition, leather-blocked garments were presented by Maiyet, Costume National on asymmetrical outfits and by Hermès' Christophe Lemaire, who used the motif in a pure androgyne and folklore style collection. On the other hand, Ricardo Tisci of Givenchy used the same material in larger areas, such as coats, blazers and skirts.<br />
The couturiers Alexis Mabille and Bill Gaytten for John Galliano followed their own path, the one of luxury fabrics, romanticism and the sense of aristocracy that have set the bar high enough to reach.<br />
Kenzo's Humberto Leon and Carol Lim did also so with their interior themed-brightly coloured collection bringing on the runway the missing '70s aura, which we had enough of back in New York. And alongside the magnificent collection there was the funniest show of Paris Fashion Week with extra Magnolia cupcakes for every guest.<br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"> Saturday has been the most anticipated day of Paris Fashion Week, not only for me but for every "Techno Couture" fan, since the day's schedule included Junya Watanabe for a starter and Comme des Garçons for desert.<br />
For starter we had Kani to Kyuri no Sunomono with Junya reserving for us an interpretation of men's garderobe with masculine suits, pinstripes, Prince of Whales checks, trenchcoat-capes and of course Oxford shoes, the ingenuity of which gained the audience from the moment that the bright colour-dyed haired models entered the runway. And for desert there was Mochi by another japanese label, Comme des Garçons. Rei Kawakubo chose this time to be limited to two dimensions, producing this season's most intelligent collection. And even though her intelligence came from a condemnation of today's fashion industry, with banal patterns and fabrics, like florals, polka dots and sequins on eveningwear, it didn't stop the crowd from getting enthousiastic. <br />
As for the main course, it remained polyethnic with Beef Wellington being the highlight. Who else could of course be more British than Dame Viv, whose "England" collection explored the english culture from seventeenth century style to classic tweeds and pure english punk details. Indeed, the atmosphere was so english with the british flag printed tights under jewel-embellished corsets or classic checked tweed jackets.<br />
However, the dinner included and the necessary french cuisine touches, since it was located in Paris. The best one was the starter, a french onion soup by Haider Ackermann, who wrapped the waists into large, molded, fine worked leather belts and alongside with peplumed jackets and pencil skirts he managed to create flirtatious hourglass figures.<br />
Unfortunately, the main course was not a Boeuf Bourguignon, but we contented ourselves with something less. The Ratatouille of the Japanese chefs Ling Liu and Dawei Sun was my favourite french main course. The designer-duo chose to concentrate on the Twenties for their second season at Cacharel, with cloches, tapered trousers, white tights and a lot of zigzag prints.<br />
Viktor & Rolf's Coq au Vin was also a well executed recipe with extremely bold, breathtaking sheer dresses of black tulle, decorated with emboidered flowers or fur and pieces of fabric covering the flashpoints. Alongside the almost-nude style, there were also masculine suits and eye-catching sculptured-shaved furs, paving the way for the profiteroles.<br />
The profiteroles of Jean Paul Gaultier wasn't meant to give the dinner a strong french finishing touch, as the several different elements -masculine suits, graffiti-prints, lace jumpsuits and trenchcoats turned into skirts- made it seem rootless. At the very least, the multi-coloured furs would be the only positive element of the collection.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />

There was a little confusion yesterday relating to the posts on paris fashion week, as I skipped the day three collections. But I'm gonna make up today, starting with the third day in Paris.<br />
So, on this day prints were the highlight of most collections. From Renaissance and Baroque aesthetic to graffiti, prints flooded the catwalks. Carven's Guillaume Henry preferred the Renaissance version, while Balmain's Olivier Rousteing was inspired by Fabergé's baroque aesthetic eggs and Sharon Wauchob chose the '70s background, as many others this season. On the other hand, Balenciaga and Manish Arora suggested prints of '90s aesthetic: city lights in a space background the first and graffiti themes the second.<br />
However, not all the collections were print-themed. Barbara Bui launched a tuxedo-based collection with '70s influences, while A.F. Vandevorst and Rick Owens were both inspired by art for their fall collections. A.F. Vandevorst suggested a Joseph Beuys-inspired androgyne Cold War look as Rick Owens' version was more feminine, inspired by brutalism, the architectural movement, translated to feminine through Marlene Dietrich-esque chiffon dresses.<br />
As for Ann Demeulemeester, her collection has been one of a kind, as always, emphasising solely on the constructive part and with the models' hair being the only decorative element on the catwalk. I have to admit that the whole collection reminded me a lot of Edward Scissorhands, in a punk version.<br />

And the fourth day God created Albert (Elbaz). At last, my prayers for some colour were heard and Elbaz gave us a colour explosion to celebrate his ten years tenure in Lanvin.<br />
The bright colours came with peplums, skirtsuits and brilliant large baroque jewelry. However, the party didn't end here. Roland Muret launched a modern, slimmer version of the New Look, while Dior gained back his old allure through Bill Gaytten, who decided to welcome his first winter in the Maison with a reversion of the same look.<br />
Gaytten's version was closer to the original one of Christian Dior, as it concerns the emphasis on waist and the skirts' width. Peplums were also "honoured" by the master of knitwear Sonia Rykiel, who presented it in knitted, cosier versions alongside midi-length pencil skirts.<br />
On the other hand, there was a deconstructive mood by Maison Martin Margiela and Anne Valérie Hash; the last mentioned deconstructed another Great french Look, Le Smoking, giving to it a less classical character.<br />

Unfortunately, the shows that took place yesterday in Paris had nothing to do with last spring's playful and colourful collections. It's not though that they were less inspiring or of lower quality. It's just that I caught myself for a moment missing colour after so many black and brown-based shows.<br />
However, the decentralization of interest from prints and colour to the constructive part proved good in the end. What I liked most on these shows was the volume. Christophe Lemaire's masculine suits and twentie's coats were the epitome of style, while Chloé and Guy Laroche suggested their own-way-suits. On the other hand, there was the totally '70s inspired feminine collection (and the only one with colourful combinations) of Rochas, with great tweed skirt-suits and coats and long puff printed dresses. Quite intriguing were also the sculptural dresses of Mugler and Rue du Mail.<br />
The real treat though were Limi Feu's voluminous skirts and over-sized-buttoned coats with their feminine, simple, parisian style blowing every girl's mind...<br />

The Best of the best is here since yesterday and we are ready to tune in...<br />
To start with, I LOVED EVERY SINGLE OUTFIT of the shows that I managed to find full uploaded and which were not many, as the official website of Paris Fashion Week -modeaparis.com- doesn't provide us with photos. Thus I merely to the only four shows covered by Style.com.<br />
My favourite one was Julien David's bead pieces, like dresses, skirts and trousers, but I also liked a lot Commuun's full-leg trousers and Cédric Charlier's futuristic fifties' chic vision. As for Vaccarello, I found his masculin-ere suits very strong pieces, but still I prefer his metallic bronze dresses, which revealed the desired masculine element in a more clever way!<br />
