Something new?

As far as I know, not so new as that.
Actually Mr. Neil Barrett has already worked with Prada and Gucci, and also have a well recognized work with menswear. But he is almost new for me, and I'm absolutely stunned with so much talent, specially with his last collection: tailored, strong, perfect styling.

I just love it!

Le grand Nicolas

Speaking of architecture ...

Paris is it. The greatness of some maisons and some designers that year after year reinvent themselves, so everyone gets surprised. Everyday in PFW is a wonderful and unexpected day. Note: yesterday an casual and day-time grunge at Dries Van Noten, today the power of 80's was revisited, and visible on the shoulders(!) chez Balmain, and a sexy modernism at Balenciaga.
That's the point.
One more time, Nicolas Ghesquière reinvented la maison Balenciaga, so everything is new over there, but everything also has signature and, above all, IS ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC. And I'm not over reacting. Early today, when I got up to attend the show live streaming, I immediately found out an amazing bustier, then some kind of modern-ruffled-spanish-skirts and, as the show continued, a color pallete that totally fits me, beautiful dresses and boyish-with-high-heels shoes. For the first time, I found myself interested in mules. What about the rings?! Oh my fucking god!!!
Love you Nicolas.

What a great day...
P.S.: does anyone know what is Liya Kebede's secret?

Architectural Digest

Since I remember myself as admirer of any creative process behind fashion design, I have a particular concern with architectural influence, fairly clear in the work of many designers.
Pierre Hardy is one of those designers, able to design a TRUE object of desire. Well, a modern one, because I guess it's easier to create a classic one, isn't it?
Remember Balenciaga's Lego shoes by Mr. Hardy?? They will be forever, and ever, in my heart...

Anyway...
I found out this pair at net-a-porter this week. So, do you know what I mean??

Right now: Gareth Pugh

What can I say? I LOVE those fringe dresses, so I'm actually pretty sure I need one as soon as possible. Someone from H&M or Zara creative departments is listening (reading, ok!) to me??
Also, after one entire season being virtually forced to deal with capes, I've to give in! For instance, this one is quite cool and with the matching pants gets PERFECT!!

P.S.: I'm a little upset with Ms. Mirte Maas' belly...

The Sicilian conquest

As a deep lover of all the creative minds that twice a year (now more than that, but anyway...) bring to us such magnificent collections, stunning pieces able to turn half a world into totally fashion addict, I couldn't not to talk about Mr. Domenico and Mr. Stefano last collection.

Even though completly unlikely I wear such sicilian stuff.
Even though that, at least the last three seasons, Dolce & Gabbana colection is kind of the same, except the prints.
The truth is that I'm always in love with a couple of pieces. This time are the puppet earrings. Well, I also find as quite fun the striped oversized jacket styled with a super-mini-dress.

Also I should admit that, as a portuguese girl, (almost!) living in Guimarães, the first part of this collection is a little bizzare for me.
Guess why!
