Kenzo

11/26/2013

I'm not a big fan of expensive items that only last for one season. So when I buy something from the top brands I try to look for something original and unique. One of the finest collections is Kenzo Eye inspired by Illuminati. The eye symbol is printed on every item from this catalogue like on every dollar bill. This print is one of my favourite this year. The mystycism involved with Illuminati is a great idea and very strong accent for the whole line. I like it much more than the lion from the last season's collection.

I wear:

T-shirt/cap/Kenzo

Bomber jacket (reversible) / Isabel Marant for H&M

Scarf / H&M

Trousers / Karl Lagerfeld

Isabel Marant

11/19/2013

Bonjour! It's my first post from Paris!

Last week we've got the new collection of French designer Isabel Marant at H&M. I have chosen something for myself as well :) My choices were silver bomber jacket and sequins trouser. There were my love from the first sight. Isabel's silver bomber jacket, can be dressed with almost anything you want. If you wonder how to wear sequins in your daily outfits, I'd suggest simple top or sweater without pattern and trainers. I am so happy that I can show you my post from Paris. Enjoy and special thanks to LoTfi (https://www.facebook.com/LotfiWoodWalker)

Art meets Fashion

11/15/2013

I am an art historian and always loved fashion. So it is very important and exciting for me when Arts meet Fashion. Arts have always had connection with trends and styles. Its often inspired by and influenced.

You can see on catwalk Collections Fall/2012 Carven's Guillaume Henry used Hieronymus Bosch's Garden of Earthly Delights as inspiration for a colorful print.

Dolce & Gabbana A/W 2013/14. The 6th century mosaics of an Italian cathedral exploded onto the runway in Milan.

One of my favorite artist Yayoi Kusama worked with major fashion brands such as Louis Vuitton and Marc Jacobs with bold, graphic polka dots - a signature of the artist. Collection Luis Vuitton 2012 named “Infinity Dots collection”.

Many of fashion designers and high street fashion brands such as Mr. Gugu & Miss Go also BrackMilk Clothing have a designs inspired by art.

As a huge fan of Graffiti arts, the 2014 DKNY collection is definitely my favorite collection in 2014.

DKNY new collection inspired by NYC streets arts/graffiti.

The queen of pop Lady Gaga's brand new album called "artpop" has many inspirations from arts. She makes arts/music meets fashion.

Arts meet Fashion

It is exciting to see when designer gives another meanings to fashion, because you can meet arts on the street dressed by people like street became as art museum.

Exit through the candy shop

11/08/2013

New collection Rihanna for River Island Winter 2013 has arrived yesterday. In my opinion is her best work so far for this brand. There is lots of various prints and colors : check patterns, flowers & classic black & white, passion red also gold. Some of the outfits are very shiny, especially the ones embossed in gold. The materials are mainly velvet and trench and fur but thats not very surprising because thats typical for winter season. On top of my shopping list was gold and embossed oversize top. I noticed that fellow fashion bloggers wear this top as a dress but thats not a case for me . It's way too short for a dress. That top with oversize coat, leggins and snickers is still street style but with a bit of glamour and elegance. I also love all velvet outfits only not the bomber jacket with fur elements. I don't think it looks very good.
