ALL THE STYLES AND TASTES

Few days ago I could attend the fantastic presentation of one of my favorites brands: Armani.

The event was with two of the main lines of this amazing Fashion House.. Emporio Armani and Giorgio Armani for men and women s/s 2012.

Always is a pleasure to attend a presentation of Armani because Nico and Maria are spectacular and I can't tell you how much we can laugh with everything while I'm enjoying discovering each piece.

Everybody know that Giorgio Armani line is special and always it has the pure essence of him since he started to create and make us dream.

I really like the way and cuts over the collection and the mix of colors are very cool. What I admire in Giorgio Armani line is the versatile it is with garments! You can find a dress perfect for your mom and also a jacket perfect for going to a crazy party with friends.. that is AWESOME!

Look at this detail in one of the spectacular dresses full of brocades and details.. Gorgeous right? Do you like it?

Also that detail exist as bracelet and I have to confess is amazing

but as amazing accessory for sure, at least to all of my girl friends, are...

...Shoes, shoes, bags, bags and more shoes! haha!

I love the way of these heels! If you check the shape, it makes your feet look higher and stylized. Of course the snake print is stunning and works perfectly in that clutch! I think the mix is STUNNING! what about you?

Another bags/clutch I really like from Giorgio Armani s/s 2012 are the next ones

Love the print a lot! haha, You know I have a several problem with this and if something is transparent or in a print.. for sure, I'll love it haha!

Back to the shoes but changing the line.. the futurist heels of Emporio Armani are to die for!

I remember during the show discover these heels and immediately being a must have in my opinion! I really like neon colors and if they appears in Armani shoes, MORE! haha :)

Also I want to highlight these spectacular big bags with pastel colors and also some of them TRANSPARENT

The lime one is in my opinion the most beautiful and I always going to take it and check how amazing it is! :)

I have decided to show you the details more than dresses because in a show normally is difficult to check these ones in a good quality and also because I shared here the show and I didn't speak a lot about the accessories and the details which makes special a collection :)

What do you prefer from both brands?

Of course the presentation also had men clothes and accessories.

Shoes are my passion and since few months ago, I always check the shoes of everybody and my wish is having more and more in my closet in the future haha

There are loads of styles and for all the tastes.

beach time, relax, party, a dinner, home.. whatever you have in mind, you can find it in Armani shoes. I recommend you if you are locking for a good present this holidays, go to Armani and buy a pair of shoes!

Also you can find boots like a cowboy! veryyyy cooolll :)

This is what I said for women lines..you can find all the things you have in mind for lot of different kind of people. That is very difficult and Armani can develop it every season.. I admire that because he is close everybody who loves fashion and the quality over different pieces they like and not are easy to find!

To finish with this post and male collections..

I have chosen this beautiful combination of colors among different fabrics and styles.

That jacket is spectacular and I can't chose one of the t-shirt for next S/S 2012. I want all of them! haha! I have a problem with t-shirts too.. :)

What do you prefer guys?

...

How is going your christmas? I can't eat more.. please food go far from me haha!

Hope you are enjoying and being happy with your family and friends and the most important, REST a lot!

THANKS

MERRY CHRISTMAS BY...

Masanori Morikawa is the head of this different, special and innovative brand..

and also the responsible of become real the most of the dark dreams trough his creations

Born 1984 and after working for Charles Anastase, he founded a new brand with a friend named Livraison.

But, the future of Masanori will be other. He needs fly alone, create what he exactly has in mind and show us the creative side of himself.

For that, at the year 2009, he launched CHRISTIAN DADA with a collection for a/w 2010.

In that collection, everyone could discover the special vision from that part of the world and that I much admire.

I'm absolutely in love with the spectacular Hats/compositions. They are stunning.

There is one special and that remind me to a porcupines

AWESOME! what do you think?

But, the collection for S/S 2012, specially the collection for men, took my attention when I saw the Look Book photos.

The way of his idea, how to express it trough the fantastic model, Simon Kotyk, and the combination of fabrics and shapes typical for women, make me feel how artist Masanori is and a bit of what he has inside and want to show to the world

Is special the power of that skirt in combination with that amazing jacket perfect for men and women.

I wanna highlight that piece. I LOVE the print, fabric and shape.. it is gorgeous.

Do you like it?

Talking about jackets, I really like the next ones. The black jacketwith orange and the print in the other one is spectacular! what do you think about the print?

I NEED IT!!! PLEASEE!!

Abou women collection.. I want to highlight how darkness it is and the volume over all the dresses. I always say transparencies are a sin to me and maybe my favorite way right now, but he makes a mix among transparencies and soft fabrics that make me crazy!

What do you think about Christian Dada? Do you like the vision he has? I wanna attend a show of him for sure, hope soon!

...

Christmas are here! and of course, I want to wish you a fabulous days with your family because you are special to me and THANKS TO YOU I'm doing this blog! :)

The best to do it? haha this photo! because I'm posing with one of my typical faces haha and also during the time I was doing this post :)

MERRY CHRISTMAS AGAIN!

Thanks a lot!

ABOUT TO EXPIRE BUT STILL ALIVE

Year 2011 is coming to the end and everyone is thinking how will be the new year BUT fashion... is still doing and publishing lot of exciting things before Christmas arrive!

Talking about Christmas I want to show you a crazy video from one of the most cool, fresh and lovely brands based in Paris

LANVIN

LOOK AT THIS!

I LOVE this video and the way to wish us Happy 2012! What do you think about it?

I think Albert Elbaz is a genius and the creativity he has is very difficult to overcome and I really admire him.

Near these beautiful dates where we are going to be with family, friends and will eat too much haha... Is gonna happen one of the most amazing things for me..

The Men's Fashion Weeks! and for that, the agencies are finishing the Show Packages.

Do you want to discover who are going to conquer the runways?

For sure Jamie Wise and Sebastian Sauve will be a couple of kings in Milan and Paris shows.

Also...

who I think is strong and full of potential and of course..

Sir Lachowski! One of the favorites Models of my friend Maria because he is capable to develop everything, everywhere!

As we are talking about models, PLEASE, take a look to this fantastic video campaign of Maison Kitsuné for S/S 2012

Very funny and different right?

haha! I really like it and the idea is absolutely nice! What do you think?

We are in Spring/Summer 2012 mood and as I really like summer and collections for next season are extremely cool.. I can't create the last post of news in 2011 without showing the campaign of one of the best collections/shows I have never attended before for men and Women

It is VERSACE

I have in my mind how spectacular were both shows and the way of collections. I can't express what I felt being there and discovering the proposals by Donatella.

I think Gisele Bundchen and Ryan Barrett look stunning and they show how spectacular are the collections.

Do you like the campaign photos?

Sometimes people forget how was the beginning of brands or when the designers started to be designers and for that, the Museums are the main and best way to show this long way during the time.

Valentino and Alaïa- Alaïa and Valentino

Both brands have decided is time to show the real life of their brands BUT in a very very different ways.

Valentino Museum is a new concept and also full of innovation. I have to confess this is not my favorite way but 2012 is coming up!

This museum, is a virtual museum where you can discover how amazing was all the collections and ideas he had while he was the head of this house.

I remember watched a film about his career and was spectacular to know everything of him.

AWESOME right? I'm trying to close my eyes and imagine I'm there, touching the fabrics, without nothing more than me and the exhibition.. Do it yourself too.. what do you experiment?

Alaïa is the other side and at the Groninger Museum ( Groninger, Netherlands ) you will find the most amazing and special pieces of Azzedine Alaïa of the last ten years.

You only have to check the Haute Couture to know how special is Alaïa and I wish going there and check myself the exhibition..

If you are near Groninger, don't loose the chance to be near Alaïa. The exhibition will be there until 6th of may 2012!

To finish this post...the revolution of your ideas trough DIOR and Marion Cotillard

the last 2 minutes are absolutely COOL and she is the most amazing, LADY DIOR!

Ah!!! Another very important thing for Christmas! You know how difficult is get the best gifts for your family and friends during these dates BUT now, you CAN be the best friend, boy/girlfriend with this amazing APP

PASTEL AND TOREROS

I think everybody here knows that I really really like what Amaya Arzuaga creates every season.

She is one of the most creative designers in Spain and also Parisian fashionistas are in love with her.

This time and for next S/S 2012 season, the pastel colors and shapes on the top are a sin making a special essence to the female silhouette.

Was very sad to me not attend the show in Paris this time because of work and for that discovered the collection at her showroom with Mario, was stunning!

These pastel tones bring you a lot relax and also I think, they are the perfect chance to look chic and delicate at the same time.

Look at the beautiful yellow in that dress! It is gorgeous right?

Also, check the shape in the top of that dress in a blue/green pastel like that one on the 1st picture in pink. I really like the way, it is very different but at the same time pretty cool, no?

Of course transparencies are here! and the geometric shape is spectacular. This is an example about the art of Amaya and believe me, if you touch the fabrics, they will show you how high is this line.

Do you like this dress?

More colors in the palette of the collection are specially these ones in different clothes and in the same way of her own vision

The mix of blue and green you can taste here, I think is supreme and look a like turquoise tone dancing with white and doing a strong wink to stop neon like some designers are starting to do.

I wanna highlight a special fabric in the collection and for do that, I have chosen two pieces

This amazing skirt

AWESOME right?

And, this spectacular dress..one of my favorite because of the color and the shape it has

Do you wish have it in your closet right? be honest with me haha

Another presentation I attended the same week than the Amaya one, was a very different brand and also with a different vision.

The new collection is full of aggressive details, prints & quotes in a very high heels.

If you are thinking about Christian Louboutin, you are in the right way

I think I said this before but these kind of shoes are the perfect one for you ladies. I really like see women with high heels and discover how spectacular are they legs, one of the most beautiful thing in the world.

These shoes are the Spanish inspiration 100%. They look like a "traje de Luces" of a Torero and I think this is very funny and different. What do you think about it?

But, without doubt, one of the things I most like from Mr Louboutin are the pins and spikes. HOW COOL THEY ARE?

Look at this pair of shoes, they are the perfect ones for an spectacular party next summer no?

STUNNING!

Also these spikes are present in the line for men. I think men industry is growing and growing and for that, they must be in the Louboutin shoes. I have to confess I'm in love with them and I need a pair for next season.. what about you?

To finish and for those people who love wear the most different and special pieces form all the brands, here are this trainers in loads of colors, materials and stuffs!

I think they are the maximum expression of creativity. To me is very complicated to combine all of these type of colors and things, so I admire all the people who can doing it!

Which pair of shoes are your favorite ones? and your favorite dress from Amaya doing a perfect combination with Louboutin?

Hope your week is going good! I'm in London right now because of ODDA but tomorrow I return to Madrid!

THANKS!

Adrian is so funny and lot of positive things more! During the interview we spoke about campaigns like Cavalli or Lanvin!

Love them! What do you think? The skin of Adrian is spectacular!

Also, Levis campaign appears in the conversation and maybe, this was for Adrian one of the most funny one for develop with all the models in set

BUT, my favorite favorite one after the Lanvin campaign, is, without doubt...

CANALI!

He looks like a very very cool gentleman, chic and elegant. Very cool!

Also in the interview we spoke about editorial like L'Officiel one but, there is a lot magazines who love working with Adrian and examples of these magazine are:

GQ

FANTASTIC MAN

ROBB REPORT.com

As you can see, B&W is the main feature in the most of the Adrian photos. I think he looks like a gentleman from 70's and his face bring to brands the classy they need and search for the ideas they have

BRAVO ADRIAN!
