Spring prints...Tahiti and fruits!
9:07 AM
mixagrip
Stella McCartney and Prada prints, for this spring are appearing in every editorial and almost everyone loves them. The chic appeal, the sense of summer and funny approach to fashion is abosolutely gorgeus. Fashion magazines, fashion cities, fashions tores and fashion customers in general are in big cities. It's difficult to find, for example, a Gucci boutique in the countryside. So, we need to leave the stress that is caused by the city life and the conformist elgance. The designers, as they only know how to do, abandon these schemes and purposed a wonderful trend. Gaultier in his Haute Couture decided to use "tahiti prints", taking inspiration from Mexico, and Just Cavalli too. Moschino follows the trends and the amazing thing is that every brand present its own interpretation of this concept (and this personal approach is something that sometimes brand forget and, unfortunately, they copy each other).
So for this spring the idea is beautiful but I hope that these tendance will be developed in the right way, maybe on the style of Stella McCartney (and not Cavalli...please!) that is the designer who shows the most elegant version of fruits print.

Gaultier and Givenchy... couture s/s 2011
3:30 AM
mixagrip
Gaultier repurposed his classic dresses and prints/colors/materials that made him famous. We see a sparkling collection, with a lot of important dresses that are so voluminous and colored that is impossible not to like them. Their sophisticate appearance and the wonderful ruffle of them make the Gaultier show one of the most particular and interesting show of high fashion paris fashion week.
Riccardo Tisci use feathers and transparences like only he can do. Here the main theme of the last couture collection is developed with a great Japanes influence and a wonderful work about volumes. Givenchy is the essence of gothic-white style. Tisci tries to add volumes, working on the back of the dresses, and the result are very elegant...I find! The most beautiful thing is the minimalism of the tops and the exageration on the skirts...also interesting are the simple lines and cuts that help the elgant and sometimes androginous appearance of the dresses. In the end, a touch of yellow and red make these dresses absolutely young.
Summary of other high-fashion shows:
Alexandre Vauthier: Like the other times the shapes and the strong-shoulders are amazing but there's not any innovation: the evening dresses are so classic and some colors are absolutely ugly.
Alexis Mabille: I find it's wonderful the idea to purpose every outfit in a evening version and in a "day" one: the opposition between day and night, always cool!
Chanel: The most boring Lagerfeld collection, please those dresses don't have any link with couture!
Elie Saab: Romantic and etereal dresses, Saab showed a gorgeus collection where every dress was unique and the volumes (obtained only with embroidery) are very chic.
Armani Privè: Giorgio Armani is the most innovative designer in this couture week. His materials are completely new, the light of them and of their colors left me speechless. I don't speak of this collection only because I think that is very complicate (especially for shapes and volumes) that need a specific review wrote by a fashion journalist...so go on Vogue (or other magazines websites...) and check out the show.
Stéphane Rolland: I believe that this designer has really understood the sense of couture, he presented amazing shapes and volumes with very scenografic and full of drama dresses.
Valentino: I expected something more by Valentino, Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pier Paolo Piccioli designed a too much "ethereal" and transparent collection. Also in this case the couture is almost disappeared apart from some very ancient clothes, but the real problem is that too much times Valentino (with those two designers) purposes the same evening dresses...boring!

Meeting Jean Paul Gaultier creations...just Milan!
2:00 AM
mixagrip
Some days before Christmas holidays I was walking in the centre of Milan to look for nice gifts that are beautiful and useful too (not as the 50% of the gifts that are just useful as rubbish). So, in via Manzoni one fo the most important streets of the centre of Milan there are two riproductions of the Jean-Paul Gaultier parfums: Le Male and Classique. The first one in front of Versace Palace and the second one in front of the Illulian boutique. Btw, I don't want to pay attention on the history or the qualities of these parfums (amazing...) but I desire that you think about the more diffusion of fashion. I spoke a lot of times about this idea because I believe is the contemporary key to understand the evolution of fashion world. You remember the strange, unreal, idea of a very closed, fashion system? Ok, I believe that only with an open-mind and with a totally absence of clichè is possible to really understand the meaning of these purposes and the truly meaning that's inside fashion: communication!

Carrè Hermès...ethnic patchwork!
2:00 AM
mixagrip
The carrès of Hermès are something so known and so famous that when someone speaks baout them there's always the risk to appear boring . So when I decided to do this post I was really in doubt but I chose to speak about them because I found these amazing foulards. The main feature of these ones is the print: a wonderful, ethnic print characterized by animalier prints. The prints are purposed in gold nuances, in greys nuances (like the zebras), or in the dark red ones. It's especially interesting the "h print" in the last carrè where the "h" appear like the rosettes of the real animals and give to the foulards a fresh appearance. As we know the animalier clothes and accessories are something really dangerous (you know the "streetwalker effect"...) but when someone is chic, glamourous, trendy, sexy and elegant with an animalier accessory....what a big satisfaction!

Hermés...adv f/w 2010 womenswear

I'm ever surprised, and satisfied, from Hermès adv. In fact their advertising are always set in inusual places and situations, and the most interesting thing is the feeling communicated from the adv. In this case the woman expresses a sense of "stupor" that I read as an astonishment for the bautiful of the night and, of course, of Hermès creations.The second pic has a magic atmosphere of mystery that gives us a sense of curiosity about the scene and put the carrè at the center of the attention: nothing knows how to valorize a product as Hermès does!
Hermès...shearling!
5:17 AM
mixagrip
I really love the mix, made from Hermès, between shearling and suede all on a bag and what kind of bag? Of course the Kelly and, the mini-Kelly. Obviously the big Kellly is mroe beautiful but also the small one has its beauty. I know, and I think that everyone knows, I'll miss, and we'll miss, Gaultier ideas and style!!!
What do you think about these bags?
