Louis Vuitton men collection F/W 2012 — 2013 online

January 19, 2012

Amazing how the show is already on youtube – after being broadcasted online on Vuitton’s site. I’m still dancing on Donna Summer’s tune in my mind. British-born designer Kim Jones collection’s did great 70’s tailoring on the suits, as well as mixtures of shades of grey and brown and what I see again is that military shapes for coats and general very slim feature of trousers already seen in Milan. The pure lines and the simplicity of the cuts showing…

Louis Vuitton invitation

January 19, 2012

Looking at the press today and the articles about January fashion shows, I was smiling while seeing the following picture – a “sculptural” invitation at Louis Vuitton today’s men show. The house is still one of the most creative ones regarding the organisation of their shows. The show could be watched online on their site – an experience several houses tried lately.

Marni at H&M for next season

December 15, 2011

I found myself in a total writer’s block when it came to the latest Versace ‘Iconic Collection’ for H&M. I simply couldn’t write a single word apart from blog posting a picture of the outfits and their overrated prices.. Not quite being an absolute Donatella fan in the first place, her H&M collection confirmed my stance further. To my sad surprise this collection is nothing more then loud bits of random fabric put together for the very young & eager…

A fi sau a nu fi în modă

November 17, 2011

De ce unii reușesc în modă, iar alții nu? Unii știu încotro să meargă, unde vor să ajungă și alții se pierd în direcții tangențiale? De ce numărul celor care reușesc în afara țării este foarte mic? De ce unii investesc în imagine, construiesc o strategie și alții nu? Aceste întrebări sunt importante și persistente în contextul actual. Suntem tot în plină criză, iar prognoza pe anul viitor nu este optimistă. Anul 2011 este însă destul de bun comparativ cu…

Între fantasmă și realitate – târgurile internationale

October 25, 2011

Târgurile profesioniste de afară seduc în egală măsură ca o emigrare în străinătate – mulți își doresc o participare ca pe soluția care le va schimba viața, însă în realitate sunt foarte puțini cei care știu ce implică un asemenea demers și ce repercusiuni importante poate avea asupra vieții profesionale. Am întrebat recent mai mulți designeri de ce vor să meargă la un târg. Mi-au răspuns cu un dat din umeri încurcat “păi de ce nu?”. Dorind să bifeze cât…

Gucci, the making of — the book

October 21, 2011

To celebrate its 90th Anniversary with the opening of the Gucci Museum at Palazzo della Mercanzia in Florence, the famous label just released the book to become the reference regarding this Italian house’s history: “Gucci, the making of”. Founded in 1921 Guccio Gucci’s modest family business, based on leather goods, is today one of the most important and iconic luxury labels in fashion – and not only. In spite of seducing Jackie Onassis (their bag entitled Jackie O is still…

Maxime Simoëns — the new man at Leonard

October 21, 2011

The young man who decided to be designer after seeing Madonna’s Drowned World Tour is in charge from today with the french house Léonard’s revival, succeding designer Véronique Leroy. Fascinated by Jean Paul Gaultier’s sense of costumes and creation, he got his first internship there.

Miro — the broken image

October 20, 2011

“Il faut de tout pour faire un monde”. And coincidences are not always random. I went to Joan Miro’s retrospective exhibition at Tate Modern in London, a extraordinary and complex exhibition of his paintings and drawings. I always liked Miro for his sincerity and apparent simplicity, but did not know of the extent to which he was involved in politics, a strong and constant interest throughout his life. Around the same period that I had visited Miro’s London exhibition, an…
