House of Art – rebeli sau pace?

February 22, 2013

Se spune că tinicheaua ar desnobila femeia-cum le spunem atunci brandurilor care le propun clienților să arate straniu? Nu-mi place și nu dau cu bâta gratuit, însă a ignora brandul românesc declarat ca având cea mai mare rețea de retail de la noi înseamnă a ignora elefantul din mijlocul camerei. Un site de promovare online îmi provoacă spiritul jucăuș cu un articolul care anunță îndrăzneț colecția 2013: “La haine de damă, câteva dintre cele mai apreciate și mai noi sunt…

Lenjeria, sutiene si propuneri indecente de nerefuzat

February 10, 2013

Lenjeria feminină – ce subiect greu! Dificilă documentarea pe site-uri de profil, lenjeria este ca o ciocolată bună – cu cât ai mai multă, cu atât trebuie testată și … cumpărată! Ne apropiem de Dragobete încrucișat cu Sfântul Valentin, motive suplimentare de idei noi, doar avem doi sfinți de onorat. Pin-up-urile și Dita von Teese ne bântuie, cursurile de dansat la bară sunt propuse precum ședințe de Pilates. Lenjeria a devenit o prelungire firească a noastră, de dezinvoltură și libertate. Când…

What is peplum?

November 26, 2012

Asked by one of my design class students what it is, I realized that I need to write a post about “peplum” – not only because it is one of this winters essential trends, but because it has several meanings. The original word peplum comes from Greek peplos who means a loose-fitting outer garment worn, draped in folds, by women in ancient Greece, in the classical period (by 500 before Christ). Peplum cand be: – a short full flounce or…

When inspiration is called Mats Gustafson

November 12, 2012

I have a soft spot for this fashion “illustrateur” – I’m fan since I’ve seen in my teens his “Découpage” serie done for an Italian Vogue if I well remember, in the 90’s. Years after, I still love his style: pure, light lines and breathtaking beauty. He shows the designer and their pieces or outfits in a very creative way – he’s catching the mood and designer’s reflexion, not just pieces of cloth. So I decided today it’s Mats Gustafson…
