Roger Vivier

4:54 AM mixagrip

This clutch made in marmot fox is from Roger Vivier. Bruno Frisoni is a genius and this bag represents it. There are two different, opposite, sensation that the bag gives to us: first of all the nice taste of sweetness that every animal should inspire in the humans being and on the other side the sensuality of the black and strenght of the ctystal eyes and the anger of this "fox face".

Issey Miyake...f/w 2009

5:35 AM mixagrip

I chose to show you this collection because I'm ever fascinated from the geometries, the shapes, the volumes and the lightness of these clothes that Fujiwara, for Miyake, made in the last winter. The chiffon striped  capes express a sense of truly lightness and "conceptual futuristic style, with a lot of Asian influence" that I think they are one of the best clothes ever made by Asian designer and that exporess in the best way the concept of the east fashion. Also interesting the sweety beauty of the collection in general and that strange "fake pactchwork" on the red suit that has the same effect (obviously revamped) that Simons, for Sander, created on a grey dress this winter. If you want to enjoy the complete show go on Vogue...

Crystal lovers...Diego Dolcini

7:20 AM mixagrip

Diego Dolcini is an up-and-coming shoe designer that is really valued for the futuristic and rock taste that his creations belong. In particular, he put into he same shoes, in this specific case, the crystals, the leather, "rock" colors (gold, silver, black and "red-gold crystals") and a very slim heel: wonderful result!!!
So I believe that we can consider these shoes as a kind of artwork.

Bottega Veneta...Knot sfrangiato clutch

5:55 AM mixagrip

This bag is a classic model and so it's nonsense to speak a lot about its details. I only want to put in evidence the fraying (sfrangiato) effect of the leather and the amazing color of it: a blast of freshness that makes younger this classic model.

Crystal lovers...Emilio Pucci

5:37 AM mixagrip

This is the last post about Crystal Lovers project. I didn't speak of all the designers that took part in this project but if you are interested about them you could go on LuisaViaRoma and look to their creations. In fact I didn't speak about, for example: Balmain, Zanotti, Ferragamo...Because I've thougth that their creations were not enoguh interesting and new...
In the specific case this mini-dress is decorated by the caleidoscopid print and has a beautiful taste of infinitive. Then, the crystals make the cocktail dress more youth than the other mini-dresses. In fact, I love these projects because allow the designers to went out from their "clichè" and, so, they can develop new ideas.

Christopher Kane...f/w 2008

4:56 AM mixagrip

Kane said that this is his favourite collection between all the collections that he had made...I completely agree with him because the amazing use of the paillettes and of the "Punk touches" is such glamourous that no one word could be added. However, I hope that you'll go to see all the show: truly interesting!

Crystal Lovers...Casadei

4:32 AM mixagrip

Personalmente apprezzo molto poco le scarpe di Casadei: spesso troppo improntate sul lusso e troppo poco sul design. Nel caso specifico, non riesco a farmi piacere (stranamente,d ato che adoro completamente questa collaborazione) i diversi colori dei cristalli posti vicini e la notevole dimensione degli stessi. Inoltre penso che il costo di quasi 6000 euro per queste scarpe sia davvero esagerato (mi paiono proprio "cheap e brutte")!

I don't like a lot Casadei's shoes and also in this case I don't like them (it's strange because I like everything of the Crystal Lovers project). The crystals are too big for me and the match of the color it's strange...Or better it appears as it was done in a casual way. Then the classic type of the shoes (boring...) and the price almost 8000 $ (crazy for these shoes, as was crazy 1000$ for the Balmain t-shirts with the holes...): they don't help me to try to like these shoes.

Ferragamo's creations...

4:44 AM mixagrip

I believe that today Ferragamo looses its famous style in shoes and is more interested abou the clothes and the bags. Before Cristina Ortiz and from some seasons Massimiliano Giornetti developed a new "Salvatore Ferragamo" woman that is more interested about clothes, that's  a bit interested about bags but that isn't interest about shoes: she wears classic, boring, shoes. Oh yeah, today Ferragamo purposes only "old" shoes that have not anything new and youth. It was all different...when there was Salvatore. By the way, the past is only the past and we have to pay attention about the future. So I believe that this "marketing strategy" is the future of a more "poor of creativity" fashion world and a more "rich of money-attention" fashion world. So as Marni did and as other brands will do the maisons are developing some kinds of solutions to re-sell their past collections products.
It's also true that this is a very important idea. In fact, this is an opportunity for the Ferragamo's lovers.
In the end, I believe that the Marni clothes are "wearable" but the "Ferragamo's creations" collection is amazing to be shown on the furniture  but not to be worn. Furthermore, I think that the only shoes that are interesting are the one located in the second pic...the other ones are boring and so old!!!

Tom Ford....so glamourous!

9:39 AM mixagrip

Tom Ford is so many times nominated for his parfumes, his Gucci's period as creative director, his sunglasses, his film A Single Man (amazing film...) and, after this film, his omosexuality. But why many times don't the people speak about his menswear collection (and, from september of this year also womenswear, for which we are all dying for seeing it...)??
His tipical man is a very sexy man with big sunglasses and very classic suites that are made interesting by details: like creative prints (especially squares) and floreal pochettes... It's like a "contemporary" dandy that gives the inspiration, and maybe takes tha inspiration, to Ford. The jacket are very casual producted with fine materials like suede and leather... And this year there are also very youth jackets: the shorter ones, with squares patterns too, that have a taste of sportly-chic as they are inspired to the ski world.

Rodarte...skirts from f/w 2010!

3:43 PM mixagrip

When I saw these skirts I couldn't avoid to show you them...They are a bit expensive but please go on and look about their perfection. The vintage style of them, made by Rodarte, is mixed with a sense of movemente that it's so strange and unusual in "vintage inspired" clothes. But it's useless to speak abotu any kind of style when we speak about Rodarte: it has its style and it's truly stupid try to put it in a "classic style".

Crystal lovers...Roberto Cavalli

5:24 AM mixagrip

So often people think to Cavalli as a volgar, inelegant designer. But it's not so and he is one of the most important designer that create evening dresses.
For the Crystal Lovers project he went out his classical style of ethnic and urban-warrior women and went into a more sweet and romantic style. The cocktail-dress is developed on a soft light pink organza silk and it's decorated with Swarovski elements: perfect for a lovely evening with the partner or for a cockatil party with the friends.

5:27 AM mixagrip

Joseph Altuzarra is one of the more interesting up and coming designer. He put in this collection the most importan trends of this f/w: cut-out dresses, bondage dresses, leather clothes, assimmetric geometries, structured clothes....I also invite you to see all his past collections and if you desire to search in google "Altuzarra Anna dello Russo" you'll find a great interview made by that amazing woman!
In the end, a gossip news: do you know that he stay with Alexander Wang?

Sleeves...so particular!

5:18 AM mixagrip

The sleeves are so important as the other elements of the jacket, in particular for the kimono and coats. The wool and prints collaborate with the sleeve to desing a very soft line that is very actual and loved today. Furthermore is interesting the appearance. As the very stretch clothes are so sexy and so often are also a bit casual (not every time, but often...) the "soft" clothes are so elegant and have a taste of "past" regality by that everyone is fascinated. In particular is amazing the whiteness of the Givenchy one (first photo) and the bon-chic bon-genre of Valli's cape: that's full of his style, the style that we love!

Each brand purpose a different creation that's decorated with the wondeful crystals.

Do menswear and womenswear... still exist?

4:45 AM mixagrip

I desire to give you some ideas to think about the new, or old?, trend of the men to wear feminine clothes. I invite you to see that also Mantegna, in 1500, purposed men in "women" dresses and with leggins. So, the idea of "womenswear" and "menswear" is a modern mind and it's not obviously true...the roles of the two genders change a lot during the time and it's os old to think that a man can't wear a pair of heels or a woman can't wear something masculine. For example Owens, that's married with a woman, wears abitually heels.

Maxi skirts...trendy!

4:49 AM mixagrip

For this f/w 2010 we can see a lot of maxi skirts. They are of all kinds: from the "gothic" one made by Demeulemeester, to the printed of Erdem and Cavalli and in the end the metallic of Jacobs and Karan. In a period, like our is, where the designers purpose almost every time mini skirts and mini dresses, especially in winter is interesting, from my point of view, seeing more "textile" on the women's bodies. I believe that the long skirts are not "old" clothes or vintage but are very contemporary. Furthermore the different purposes of designer allow the customers to choose between a lot of skirts that are right for almost  every style...(except the "streetwalkers" style...).
Especially the details make this skirts contemporary as a mini-skirt could be.

Pugh...: from 2009 to 2011

4:20 AM mixagrip

I desire to put in relation three images from the s/s 2009 and the last one from the s/s 2011. It's amazing to see how the visionary designer evolutes himself. By the way, you should see that the first clothes are divided into parts that aren't unified and aren't really beautiful. But the last outfit, last pic, has a unify shape and a visionary sense... In fact it's more beautiful and interesting than the s/s 2009 ones: we can say that he evolutes himself!

David Koma...wonderful shapes with zipper!

7:16 AM mixagrip

David Koma is a georgian designer that for this winter made very classic dresses and jackets characterized  by the addition of some zippers. In fact he products very hard shapes and big shoulder with the zippers and it's very interesting the use of zippers: that are so often used by a  lot of designer as Les Hommes, Burberry, Margiela... Also amazing the mix leather-cotton.

Raf Simons...shoes

4:58 PM mixagrip


Simons made almost the same thing that Lanvin did with its menswear shoes for this winter: he put a piece of leather just above the ankle and realizes a wonderful shoes: caractherized by the typical crossed straps and realized in textured leather.
The high sneaker are characterized by a lot of straps and the addition of pockets...Oh yes it's so strange to speak about pockets on the shoes, but Simons did it (if he didn't it, who would have did it?) and the result, in my opinion, is amazing. I love all these shoes, but I really love the one with pockets...are so funny, and you know that I think that without funny there isn't fashion (good fashion...)!

McQueen's winter...on Net-a-Porter

5:50 AM mixagrip

I've posted about the f/w 2010 of McQueen but I'd like now to speak more in details about the single pieces of the show.I desire to put in evidence the contemporary design of this clothes. In fact, the taste of medieval style and baroccan style is perfectly mixed with one of the most important trend of the f/w 2010: the Kimonos. The big sleeves and the "3d" appearance of the dresses give a sense of contemporary that every designer should look for... But in the evening the things change completely: a very sweet dress (with a pair of flies on the back...) mixed the "regality of its shapes" with the very contemporary embroidery that makes the dress perfect for the most elegant events in the world!!
I don't like the shoes: lovely heel and platform but the mix of printed crocodile leather and suede is truly horrible. The kneeboot are the only one "good" of the shoes of the f/w made by McQueen.
P.s.: the only bad detail is the price: the shoes are almost 2000$ and the dresses are from 6000$...
