BENOIT MISSOLIN AND HIS FANTASY ACCESSORIES

I have been watching his work for some time now. Benoit Missolin has made his first accessories collection IN SS2005, since then his work has been in most of the best magazines: Vogue, I-D, ELLE, LOVE? CITIZEN K etc etc.
He is creative, he is funny, magical, glamour, fab, all that it is Benoit! Once you have one of his amazing pieces on your head you become a special girl.. Just check his new collection on his page:

Here are some pieces SS2010 of Benoit I took from his page, enjoy!!!!!!!!

I MIU MIU YOU

Well, just about few days ago I was all against the presents for Valentines, I told my boyfriend I dont want that crapy heart thing presents that are so called romantic, and I really didn't want it until I saw MIU MIU collection for that special day, and let me tell you this: I want it, I need it, I am screaming for it!!!
Honey please this t-shirt with hearts, I have changed my mind about Valentines! I am all in!

DRAWINGS and SKETCHES

It might not be the biggest trend of the season but it is more and more appearing in some collections and I simply like it very much so here are some drawings for you guys.

LANVIN SUPER POWER

Just because it is monday and it is good to start the week with the beautiful images, here is the new SS2010 LANVIN campaign, not only I love the collection but I love those photos, powerfull images in slow motion.
Have a great Monday everybody!

MAGIC OF CRAIG

I am a big fan of Craig McDean photos, so it was a pleasure for me to see his shooting for W magazine, there is something magic in the world he creates on his photos. It reminds me of two films I completely adore: Virgin Suicides of Sophie Coppola and Picnic at Hanging Rock of Peter Weir.

JUNGLE SNAKES

I will write more about it later ( about the jungle in SS2010) but I just wanted to say that it is ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS the new campaign of Alexander Mc Queen, i know, i know, everybody have already seen it but still it is GORGEOUS!!!!!!!
Below it: shooting from French edition of Vogue- snakes are very, very fashionable, very a la mode this coming season

GREY = COLOR

Those who knows me do know that I love colors, I love them so much!
I love colorfull clothes, I love all that color mess and how we can play with it.
So much I love it but then in private life all I put on is finally only black and gray.
If I look in my warderobe it is almost sick how dark it is.
If somebody would tell me now to pick 2 outfits for the rest of my life I would probably keep a little black dress and a pair of black jeans with black or grey t-shirt.
Anyways that was not what I wanted to write about, today I wanted to write about Louise Grey,
yes Louise Grey have showed her 5th collection for SS2010 and believe me if I had to put color today, right now on me and I would have to pick an outfit colorfull and so not "black me" I will go for it. Because I love the way she plays with it, I love how she manage to make it a bit naive, playing with a kitsch in a smart way and so stylish at the same time. Maybe some little things I would change in the total look but that is probably because of my black and gray nature.
I am posting some photos from her web page for you.

HEAL FASHIONLAB SAILING IN THE OCEAN

HEAL FASHIONLAB is a French label that have made a very successful start last season AW2009 with their sceleton inspired, sculptural, architectural collection.
No wonder that this SS2010 Barcelona Fashion Week, their show was was something everybody were waiting for.

This time the designers Hervé and Alice were inspired by the sea and by the sailors. In this collection we have dresses full of wind as sails, sailor stripes in different shades as watercolors on fabric, sailor caps, ocean blue fabric. We are in the marine world..

The collection is going much more commercial direction then the first one, but clearly continues the style from the AW2009 with the inspiration of sceleton forms. Hervé and Alice manage somehow made their pieces sophisticated and casual at the same time.
