Amazing photo shoot by German Vogue

Hi, Everybody!
I'm so happy, it's winter!! I like it much more, than summer, because we can even wear more amazing clothes. It just feels so good, step out the door at a cold, snowy winter day in high heeled boots (you know, the funniest thing is going down to the school from the car park in these slippery boots, which is just like - well, almost - I would walk down a ski-truck covered with ice... ), wearing an amazing coat and carrying a fury bag, while seeing all the trees decorated for Christmas, covered with snow and hearing the buzzy noise of the city on a usual day. Love it!

It looks like, the must-haves for this winter are going to be leather and lace. German Vogue is one of those, who made a photo shoot with the best pieces of designers collections. The photos are mostly black and white, they just look very artistic and extravagant.

 Also balett dancing AND clothing is having a big importance nowadays. After the Oscar winning "Black swan" and many articles about ballerinas (f.e.: one of the TeenVogue issues this fall), I'm not surprised. 

I'm really happy about it, because I also dance, and I think it's an amazing, complex and difficult sort of arts!

P.S.

Do you know the song "Leather and lace"? :)))

Gucci Museum

Happy 90th anniversary, dear GUCCI!!
Everybody who loves this label SHOULD be now in Florence!! The Gucci Museum has just opened and it's documenting the label's whole history - since the grandmother's time. That means, lots of wonderful historical dresses and bags, which created Gucci The image, for which we love it so much!!

The New Phillip Lim collection for women 2011 F/W

The pastel coloured pieces with the glamorous parts have a sporty, but cosmopolitan effect. The interesting cuts of the coats and the pants fit perfectly for the boy-meets-girl-trend. The ad movie for this collection is perfect to make people feel the atmosphere of the clothes. 

 

Wedding of a stylist

When I first saw this photo, I thought it would be a photo shooting for a magazine - but it was not! This Gareth Pugh gown was worn by Katie Shillingford, a stylist. I'm sure she has a unique style, and she probably doesn't cares what others think. This gown would perfectly fit for a gothic shooting, because it looks like an art creation. But I wouldn't wear it for a wedding - especially not with pink hair....

Chinese models

China gets always more and more important in the world's history - but also in fashion's history!
One of the most famous models is Sui He, face of Ralph Lauren right now.
Models.com made an interview with her an interview, where she said, she loves shooting, and maybe you wouldn't guess, she is always very nervous, when she has to walk down the runway.
She was also shooting for Vogue China with other chinese models like Du Juan, Shu Pei and Liu Wen.
Sui He's dream is to own one time a restaurant, because she loves all kind of foods - French, Italian and also Chinese. And of course, she wants to keep working in fashion industry. :)





Hogan by Karl Lagerfeld's fall campaign looks also amazing - and also a chinese model was modeling (with many other american, french models). Du Juan - who I mentioned before, when I wrote about the Vogue China shooting - was photographed by Lagerfeld. The designer said about chinese women, that "they are beautiful, educated and elegant, natural." He also thinks, that "today we have to remember, know and acknowledge, that China is important."

Lily Allen's wedding dress by Karl Lagerfeld

Did you know that Karl Lagerfeld is designing the wedding dress of Lily Allen??
It looks amazing! I'm sure Lily is very happy with it! :)
Here's the sketch of it made by Lagerfeld and Lily photographed in the dreamful white dress:

Melinda Rader

I don't know, if you know models.com, but I really like it! I especially like Daily Duo, where you can find posts about upcomer models. It's really interesting to see, which of these girls will create their career in this industry.
So I decided to post about these models and choose my favourite photos!


Melinda Rader is from the USA and is 179cm tall. I love her bonestructur, but her eyes and eyebrows don't impress me too much. People say, she is doing already good, although she is only since a few month in the competition.


Love this photo! The lights, the expression - very professional!

I don't like the hell eyebrows on that picture, it gives back the feeling of this style!

Nice photo! I like her attitude!

Fall/Winter 2011 - All trends

Watching all the fashion shows is just the beginning of informing yourself about the new trends. The next step is, making a list of the main lines of that season. So, after all the shows fall/winter 2011/2012, maybe the trend lines aren't enough clear for you. Here is a list with the top 10 trends, so you can go immediately AND easily shopping. :))

1) Strict elegance 

Classic, but edgy cuts and hard textures, determinate colours and strict hairstyles. The wide sleeves are also characteristic for this elegant, but strict style.

Best examples:

YSL 

Louis Vuitton

2) Boyish chic

You will find a lot boyish coats, tails, dark-coloured pants in the shop. The boy-meets-girl look is one of the main lines this winter!

Best Examples:

Chanel

DKNY

3) Black


It looks like it will never go out of fashion - black appeared in most of the collection also this season.


Best examples:


Lanvin

Emporio Armani

4) Red


An intense colour, which has a bright palette,  from which we can choose. After the summer-trend orange, the autumnal colour will fill us up with energy.


Best examples:


Gucci

Bottega Venata

5) Coats of the Sixties


The typical cut of the 60s is back - at least in the question of coats. Characteristic are also bright colours.


Best examples:


Burberry

Jil Sander

6) Patterned clothes


The spring/summer trends don't end. We could see lots of patterned designs in the collactions.


Best examples:


Prada

Moschino

Fur:


Winter is cold - if you want to stay warm, the best way is wearing a fur. 


Best examples:


Fendi
 

Prada
