Been loving these Limi Feu hair headphones showed on her SS09 Paris Fashion Week Show since the first time I saw them.
I'm a total braid fan...



But you know who is Limi's father, don't you?

Here’s a beautiful beautiful Gucci commercial directed by David Lynch.
Look at the lights, the colour palette, the atmosphere ...and Blondie’s Heart of Glass is the soundtrack!!


And the behind the scenes...

...and a little bit more of artsy fashion today. ;)

I’m fascinated with Yoshikazu Yamagata’s work, look at these amazing crotcheted houses!
This was an installation created for Arnehem Mode Bienale 2007 in collaboration with Mafuyu.

I’ve always been a total fan of Viktor and Rolf’s work; their understanding of fashion and art as an hybrid is really unique and contemporary.
Penny Martin (Nick Knight’s Showstudio former editor-in-chief) interviewed them during their art exhibition this summer at Barbican ArtGallery (London).

Here’s the link to see the interview, totally recommendable!

Thanks to The Selby I found about Brian Lichtenberg... Amazingly galactic post-modern clothes.
Fantastique!

Two weeks ago I saw Lagerfeld Confidentiel, liked the documentary very much... the character is more similar to Andy Warhol than I previously thought!
Uploaded to YouTube a clip from a Chanel fashion show that really impressed me on the film.
Karl saw it in his dreams, every single detail, then he brought it to reality.
Beautiful.

Have a nice Sunday!

Really talented Fred Butler accessories took my breath away...
Based in London she has taken accesories design to another dimention, thanks God!!
Visit on her website the bespoke pieces she made, delicious!
Below some images from her collection.




but specially the one below made me sigh...



Oh! and she has a blog too.

I’ve been enjoying a lot of free time this weekend, having a picnic, watching Twin Peaks once more, cooking and reading some new magazines and many other things...
One of the mags I bought is Wallpaper*(october’s issue) on which Rei Kawakubo, Louise Bourgeois and Zaha Hadid appear as special guest editors!!!

On Wallpaper* I saw this tricot piece I totally love from Lutz & Patmos.



And did you see the Lutz & Patmos FW08 limited edition design created by Kirsten Dunst?

I have to admit I am crazy about this couple... I’ve been adoring Eley Kishimoto clothes for years... I love the designs, I love the prints/patterns... I definitely like them :)

And I looooove their new SS’09 collection “Little Devils” shown ath the London Fashion Week about a week ago...

Last winter I was crazy looking for a perfect dufflecoat, the original ones, some beautiful warm coat from a vintage store or so... and I didn’t find THE COAT...
But this winter is different... Dover Street Market is here to bring us the original Gloverall Dufflecoats in an exquisite colour palette.
...a pity that they don’t have a thrift store price though ;)

Barcelona Fashion Week’s “080 Barcelona Fashion” began yesterday and I’ll be reviewing the next days some of the shows/events, hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
:)

Here’s a clip I uploaded this morning to youtube with the end of the yesterday’s SS'09 Teresa Helbig show. 80's references with soft color palette. I personally liked the music selection... “Heard it through the gravepine” Marvin Gaye’s cover by The Raincoats is one of my favourite covers ever!!. “House of Jealous Lovers” by The Rapture is a non-stop hit too... ;)

Yesterday attended to a totally beautiful exhibition for the launch of Barcelona Fashion Week “080 Fashion Barcelona”. The venue was a stunning 15th century palace on calle Montcada (the same street from Picasso’s Museum in touristic Born neighbourhood) that’s called Palau Dalmases. Miriam Ocariz a really talented spanish designer who made an exhibition about her creative process called “From the idea to the runway”.
I loved the place, the installations and the dresses.
Vive la mode! Vive l’art!

*Some pictures I took below.








...and a miniclip from one of the rooms with an installation...

I loved this idea for the Harvey Nichols opening in Bristol!
Bristolians Wallace & Gromit are always so cool...for years I’ve been a total Aardman fan.
And looking at Gromit with that Paul Smith scarf on the 3rd picture made me laugh instantly!
Don’t forget the crackers!
;)

Via Creative Review.






I couldn’t resist from pasting a Creature Comforts video about art (from Aardman too..).

I love intimate atmospheric chic post-modern pictures ( trying to explain a sensation with adjectives is sometimes difficult ;) , that’s why I totally love the work of Carlotta Manaigo and Nacho Alegre.
Let me show you some samples:

···Carlotta born and raised in Italy moved to US to study at the Rhode Island School of Design and now she works between the States and Europe doing her precious pictures for fashion editorials and advertisings.









···Nacho is from Barcelona. He shooted a Vitra catalog, a Levi’s catalog, Hercules magazine editorials, but above all of them he has some beautiful photographic diaries with a more personal work. Beautiful.

If Hermes is paying an homage to the great Josef Albers, I will homage his talented wife: Anni Albers.
Look at her beautifully designed patterns!

Below images from Hermes homage to Josef Albers appeared on Wallpaper* magazine.
(Hermes new collection is 6 different silk scarfs based on Albers designs, just 200 of each one! )

David David (a.k.a David Saunders) is one of the most talented fashion creators at the moment...
*I posted a stunning video from one of his collections a few weeks ago too...

And yes... you can find his clothes at the Dover Street Market, the temple of artsy fashion for inspired minds created by my adored Rei Kawakubo.




SS08

They are from Japan and they do really beautiful clothes...

This video blew my mind last week... Love it.

Still working on this drawing for Historic Fashion series... but looks better than the other day :)

Almost had tears of joy when I saw these fab eyelashes... Viktor & Rolf made the most luscious lashes in the world!
Grrrr...



Aren’t they gorgeous?

Dear Santa, as I’ve been REALLY good girl/lady this year and before you are busy later on, might ask you an anticipated x.mas present, would love to receive The Purple Antologhy book, a total must for Purple lovers like me. Will you sent it to me? You can do it online come on... :D

A preview of our "Historic Fashion" drawings in it’s very first stage... just paper and pencil. Soon will be posting the rest of the process...

The great and only Yves Saint Laurent left planet earth yesterday...
His fantastics looks and designs will remain in our memories, this is our small tribute.

Alan The Gallant was invited to 080 Barcelona Fashion, and we were glad to see new proposals from up and coming designers...

I love the customes showed in this movie... Such a pity that is so hard to find art-house film. William Klein is the director.
