Dries Van Noten.

Huge crush of the season.

Grunge married floral. Trashy Rock&Roll met femininity. Silk melts with a collage of  different fabrics. You can definitely expect the unexpected from Dries Van Noten.

Impasse de la défense- Été 2013

So today was the beginning of my favorite fashion week. Paris. Oh lala Paris.

I saw the collection grow, the hairstylists tried everything ON me, I tried some dresses, I called the press, I had 100 cups of coffee with the designer and his friends. I was in Karim Bonnet´s atelier everyday for almost 3 weeks. And it was amazing. And this is why I love fashion, because all of that hard work pays off in barely 15 minutes, but man, what an amazing short moment.

It was a secretive and rather low-key start to Paris’ ready-to-wear week with post-punk design house Impasse de la Defense, whose colorful spring-summer 2013 show took place tucked away behind the iconic clock face -la rosace- of the Gare de l’Est train station.Aside from provoking chuckles from fashion insiders, this added a street feel to the eclectic and contemporary mix of vibrant patchwork dresses, outre tulle bridal skirts and large shawls printed with images of clock architecture.

The “soundtrack” — a single harmonica played from the sidelines by Mickey, a man who looked like a busker and Karim´s old friend — provided a nice dash of boho insouciance for the many  casual and loose-fitting splash-dyed mid-length dresses.

Designer Karim Bonnet said he’d channeled German street style after a holiday there last summer — but at times, the clock seemed to turn right back to early seventies flower power.He drew inspiration from the contemporary art scene for his spring-summer 2013 collection, in creating “simple fashion” for a woman with a strong identity, and the brains to match.One bare-backed dress was a patchwork of half a dozen bright checks and tartans — like an oddly attractive collage of tablecloths.

The nicest elements were the imaginative prints of cameras and the spines of novels that featured on large shawls , actual photos taken by the designer himself— an Impasse de la Defense signature.

Remerciements

Mary Katrantzou.

Definitely my favorite at London Fashion week and one of my latest favorite designers. This season she presented something new in the form of geometric prints taken from bank notes and postage stamps.

Louise Gray.

My personal favorite (or one of them)at New York Fashion week Spring 2013. Bright colors, fun prints, perfect shapes,80´s inspired accessories with enormous geometrical shapes and Little Prince makeup.

Uh?

Yes, it´s Anna Dello Russo, whatever. I do have respect for the woman. But…

WHAT THE FUCK is this?

She´s trying to be sexy, right? SHE FAILED.She´s trying to look stylish? SHE FAILED.

The whole idea about H&M is being a refreshing cool brand, young but yet wearable by all ages , modern without any excess and in the end,  simple items, never too over designed. In this case , the video is a veritable celebration of excess.

It seriously  looks like a promotional video for the new season of Jersey Shore.

Something mystic in that soul connection.

This song and video make the world a better place. It´s just one of those songs that makes me so happy and excited about music. I would love to be the tuba dude´s best friend. I would love to hang with the whole band because they just look so COOL and happy with life.

AMAZING LIVE PERFORMANCE.

 

Balloons.

Music that I love. Music that is perfection in every beat.
