WHAT IS REAL?

People use to think the reality and true is the one theirselves have 

People is always acting in the way they consider is good

People not usually think what the rest of people can expect only is important what their eyes watch

and now, I want to ask you one thing... Is the reality the one you can see or the one you don't want understand?

I have chosen this editorial because of the amazing background in the whole editorial.

The projection of another reality in the back of models is beautiful and make me think..

They are posing and having their own reality.. but what is the reality of that people in the projection?

What are they living?

Arena Homme + have the answer and it is, everyone has something to tell and teach.

Nobody is perfect

Nobody born a genius

Nobody has always the true

All the people is the same and sometimes is interesting to think.. what is the person walking behind me doing with his life?

The hidden side of the life is something every of us have

and at the same time.. our own reality

Do you feel yourself observed?

Do you wish to be another one different than you?

You are able to change your own reality and if you start to think about the people near you, your reality would be expanded, bigger..

I think is very important to think what people near you can feel and think... If you are able to get the feeling from the other ones, you will get more than a reality and you will find what the rest of people really need...

LOVE this editorial and the new issue of Arena Homme + is marvelous! 

What do you think about "the reality"? 

Hope your weekend went good!!!

ODDA is about to comes out! just one week, I'm excited! 

THANKS EVERYBODY

MINERALS RELIGION

This was the last show I attended during women's Fashion Week and also the most amazing one I have ever attended before in the amazing and beautiful city of Paris.

Everybody knows how are the shows of Chanel and the spectacular performance Mr Lagerfeld creates every season and every collection.

I can't express what I felt when I get inside the Le Grand Palais, next to huge kryptonite in violet tones and a floor full of mini crystals.

The collection for Fall/Winter 2012-13 has loads of mixes and compositions talking about fabrics and materials. 

All of them are in a high quality and Mr Lagerfeld tried to develop in every piece the most impact way without losing the sign of Chanel.

The violet color is very important in this collection! Loads of pieces are made in this tone and here you can see the amazing leggings with this color! Love them, and you?

Without doubt one of the most important details for this collection are the spectacular shoes!

The heels are like huge minerals in transparent methacrylate with different tones: blue, emerald, white...

I really really like the innovation in soles and heels and the designers are working on this are in my opinion, artists! I think is time to make accessories something own and super personal and Mr Lagerfeld with these shoes is what is doing no?

Also the frontal shape is important to highlight because half is naked and the other one with the leather!

In this collection is important to highlight the color black..It is the perfect background for every piece inside a collection and of course, it always looks good for everyone!

For next Chanel Fall/Winter 2012-13 black is basic and the little details in gold over this color is something stablished too.

Here are more examples of outfits with black and at the same time pieces with gold! The superposition of clothes is something basic for Karl Lagerfeld and as designers like Armani or Riccardo Tisci, he considers it is a new trend everybody should follow.. clothes over clothes.. no more cold! haha

Like the first leggings, here are the ones in a gold version, as you can see, is a basic for Mr Lagerfeld!

But there is not only the gold as material over the black pieces.. brocades and gorgeous details over dresses are one of the most amazing pieces in the collection

Look at this awesome dress with all the silver details over sleeves! I really like this outfit and you ladies, would look stunning wearing it! don't you?

The cut in the back is also super sexy and it makes a wink to the modernity and the new women of Chanel!

Leaving black, we can find outfits where appear multitude of colors in shapes of mini ponchos, dresses, capes..

Karl Lagerfeld made a mix of ideas in the same way and that is very cool.

For example the next outfit made me feel I was in Mexico!

It looks very Mexican, or maybe it is the way only me can taste haha! I don't know why but I feel that. Also Asian winks with the gold details, Parisienne details.. super beautiful!

Among the colors to highlight leaving black.. there is one special and beautiful over the most of them.. the emerald.

There is a blouse that describes perfectly the beauty I'm telling you and at the same time, the material is one of my favorites.

Super gorgeous right? What do you think?

It maybe could seems super basic but the cut and shape makes this piece something unique!

The skirt with those leggings is the perfect combination and also I can imagine this outfit for summer, without leggings coming to a party, cocktails..highlighting the feminine silhouette! 

I can't finish the post of Chanel without introduce you one of my favorite pieces in this collection

The feathers among the spectacular details over each part of this outfit and the beautiful purple, made me feel what Mr Lagerfeld creates in every collection.

Maybe if I had seen this dress in a picture and not in person, I had said not sure if I like it, but when you are there and you are able to taste the way and the idea in front of you, everything changes!

Do you like it?

Ah! there is a super cool detail in make-up! 

Eyebrows were absolutely covered with mini crystals in emerald color, purple.. That was different and in a big contrast with the rest of their faces, without lot of foundation!

What do you think about Chanel? and about Karl Lagerfeld?

I wanna say THANKS for reading every post of Fashion Weeks and sorry for delay...but I didn't want to be so heavy and at the same I didn't have time!

How is going your week?

THANKS A LOT!

THEY KNOW HOW TO DO IT

Milan during last week has lived loads of parties every day and among those parties because of the presentations with pieces for our home, I want to highlight one in special, Moschino!

Always this fashion house knows how to make something cool and special. This time, the presentation of Harlequin collection was without doubt the perfect moment to enjoy and discover more about the brand.

I LOVE MILAN and if I'm there for something in special like this party, no words haha

The place for this presentation was the store of Moschino in central Milano, where clothes for the upcoming summer were in each corner and space in the store among the harlequins pieces!

The colors of Moschino are always suuuuper cool! Look at this green pastel color!

The environment was fantastic! cocktails, music and nice people made the time inside the store something cool and special!

Of course, I couldn't resist to check each outfit and dress inside the Moschino location!

Love the details on waist ! and you?

Among these beautiful dresses, I put my eye over that bag! It is amazing and full of details as bells! Since I was a baby bells were so funny for me haha!

Of course the black fabric is one of my favorite things and a basic for you ladies!

For sure you are thinking... ok David but what happens with harlequin pieces? haha! patience my friends!

Do you know how they are, right? so Can you imagine a piece with that inspiration?

I really like it!! Is different and my home need it for sure hahaha! and yours?

After some canapes and cocktails I went to check every detail from one of my favorite jackets by Moschino.

It is super spanish haha but I really really like how it is made! :)

Super gorgeous right? What kind of outfit can you imagine with?

I have to say THANKS THANKS to Sofia :)

What do you think about Moschino and Milan? no idea how impatience I am to back in the city in summer for Men's Fashion Week!!

THE UNIVERSE OF..

I have to confess that I'm fascinated with this designer and all the things he is able to develop for every collection.

This is one of the things for what this industry make me feel passion and emotion every day and also make me think.. how many things will I discover in the future?

The designer Erevos Aether just launched his personal universe through pieces to die for because of the geniality and a new way in the feminine silhouette.

The dark black is the main main point to introduce you the new universe. That color represent the hidden side of the designer and the bright details, the main vision he wants to introduce to the world.

The technologie and new style into hand-swen make me feel the big mind he has.

Just one year after launch the label, he has loads of people in love with every piece and also in love with his personal way and special essence into Fashion Industry.

Look at the details in every outfit! The bright material with that background in black is extremely beautiful, at least for me. The metal pieces making shapes and the special mix of materials is not a joke into de fashion World, is a reality, it is the future, he is part of it.

When I see the mix of technology my mind associate it to McQueen when he started with this way in every show.

Of course, a important point for me are the transparencies, in a super dark and vaporous fabric.. IT IS THE TECHNOLOGY COUTURE!

Look at the beautiful mix among deep colors as blue or green in the metal developing a perfect dress with the gorgeous and always pretty black

There are no limits, the limit is his own universe and there is space for star clusters and opulent embroidery as a maximum expression.

Years of experimentation made possible this brand, years of experimentation made possible have between us the amazing mind of Erevos through dresses representing the future

Your shoulders never will be what they were, their perspective of Fashion is starting to remember what amazing designers made few years ago and that make me start to think that this industry is becoming a new era, an era I would like to live and experiment.

What do you think about Erevos? is or not is to die for? Tell me!

How is going your week? Did you like the preview of ODDA?

THANKS A LOT!

PARIS...MON AMOUR

One of the most beautiful cities around the world, one of the favorite places to go and enjoy with someone special and one of the main Fashion Weeks every season where start to dream

That is Paris in a short summary and the last sentence is for me, the most important one right now.

Fashion Week in Paris during Women's season means 10 days non stop.

Every day with 12 shows, after that the parties and all the amazing people you meet transform those days in something magic and unique

Like happened with Milan, I can't show you everything from my days there, but I'm going to show you 4 shows I really enjoyed.

The first one is

I remember the first time I was in Paris for Fashion Week and also I remember Damir Doma was one of the 1st designers I attended.

This collection started in black garments, where collars are inspired in Medieval ladies

I'm a faithful lover of history and these kind of inspirations are super cool. What do you think?

Sand colors also had a important presence over beautiful skirts, trousers and jackets.

This season the mix of different clothes is a MUST! You can wear trousers also skirt and jacket with coats.. Do you like this way?

The next show was one of my favorites because of the location, the people and the environment..

Trust in me.. attend a show like Amaya Arzuaga in paris with all the spaniards and the people you know from Madrid is amazing.

I remember to meet people who is working in Paris in some magazines and laugh a lot together because the entrance to the Spanish Embassy was a Chaos haha!

Amaya Arzuaga keeps her personal style as a very defined identity sign. She combines the volumes over the top pieces with the tight and tall trousers where cotton and another fabrics which make the trousers the perfect friends for cold months.

Also is important to highlight the compositions like Coat/dress where stripes in different colors, give the style of Amaya

One of my favorite things in this collection were the last two dresses. The chiffon and mix of shapes are super cool and I think every girl would look stunning wearing a dress like this

As you can see, Amaya introduced colors like red but she is not the unique designer who made this...

for the F/W 2012-13 collection introduced bright red and also beautiful volumes over sleeves.

Look at the next skirt.. I really like it not only for F/W...for S/S is also a perfect piece!

This sweater is also very beautiful

I'm in love with all the fabrics used in this collection and the next pieces are maybe my favorite ones not only for the material used, if not for the print the made, over the black background

What do you think about the jacket? and what about the dress?

I really really like this vintage way over every piece with gold. It's different and like a reinterpretation of what people used to wear few years ago!

Was super nice to discover every piece at the huge space at Jardin Des Tuilleries! Always is beautiful attend a show there..

Another amazing designer who always makes the show at the Tuilleries space is

I was inside more than 1 hour because is suuuper big and since everybody arrives until the show starts, you can be there lot of time, like me haha. I remember the day was horrible, raining with cold.

After an hour, everybody arrived, I saw some friends inside like Gala or Louise and then, the show started.

Gorgeous dresses, coats, skirts... as usual Mr Saab introduced a collection to die for.

Girls, you must have an Elie Saab dress at your closet, it is something basic and you always will look stunning.

Anja looks gorgeous here and always haa. This dress in naked tones and sequins is fabulous and I know you are thinking: I need it!

As Guy Laroche, Elie Saab also introduced some gold over dresses.

I have to confess I used to hate gold over clothes but over pieces from these spectacular designers, my mind changed radically and I consider it is super chic.

Do you like this dress?

Of course the carrousel was spectacular.. Gorgeous girls, wearing the pieces by Elie Saab and at Jardin des Tuilleries in the beautiful Paris... best combination is not possible.

What do you think about Elie Saab?

I would like to say THANKS to everybody who made me have those amazing days in Paris. I still have to show you one of the most special shows I attended there hehe.

How is going your weekend?

THANKS FOR BEING HERE!

TIME FOR

Video starts to be a religion

Video starts to be a huge part for every brand

Video starts to be a main point to show what everyone have in mind

When you are able to transmit your deepest feeling through few minutes the essence is another, is make people be a part of you and at the same time promote who are you without say nothing, just showing images.

THAT is what Luca Finotti just made with VOLCANO, a exclusive video for Hercules Universal S/S 2012 issue

This exclusive video for Models.com express the essence from Universe of Hercules and the real way they are working for the second era of the magazine.

Luca transmits the power, the warm and the cool men style without limits. HE IS AN ARTIST

What do you think?

As I told you, videos also are able to show you the fantasies, and this time the REAL FANTASIES by Prada for S/S 2012.

This video shows the LookBook of the brand in a different, cool and funny way!

Check it out!!

How cool is it? I think I watched it more than 6 times, Do you like it?

Always Prada is awesome!

Another fashion house wanted to show his special features trough a video is Henrik Vibskov. The designer shows with amazing visual effects the closer side of him,talking himself about his career in the brand. The video is an exclusive film for Dazed & Confused digital version and believe me, it is super cool

What do you think about Henrik and also the video? I really like to heard what designer has to say.. Always is very interesting, no?

To finish this post I need to share with you the confirmation of something beautiful, different and full of new kind of visions for one of the bigger french fashion houses

...

Raf Simons is the new artistic director at Dior. A new era for the brand comes and I'm pretty sure every collection is going to be a dream and a new way for the brand after Galliano left the Maison.

What do you think? Tell me your opinions!

...

My friends, what video is your favorite one?

Hope you like them as much as me, as I think I expressed, always a video is something special.

Have a nice day and THANKS!

DIFFERENT INSPIRATIONS

The Fall/Winter show by Mr Armani for Emporio Armani was in a dark environment and full of expectation.

The shows of Armani are always very important to me and one of the main dates every fashion Week. The Armani Teatro was a place impacted me a lot the first time I was there and this time, the colors on the floor inside the show space was like WOW!

Models started to run in black outfits with loads of combinations like Jackets, trousers, flat shoes, bags, gloves..

They had to smile and in this way represent the philosophy Mr Armani wanted to transmit trough every piece and style.

Always is very important to check the accessories he develops for every season because bags are usually super fresh, with innovation in materials and chic shapes for you, ladies.

What do you think about that bag? I have to say it is a must have for next season!

Also there are bags like the next one

Which one do you prefer?

5 minutes later the show starts, black color was replaced for a bright and beautiful pink/orange color over velvet pieces like coats, dancing between the dark horizon and blue floor

It was a new wind and way in the middle of the no color collection and I have to confess I really really liked it!

I think is super cool in winter have pieces with color and although black is the best one for everything haha, is beautiful as well may wear something different no?

This collection has a important feature talking about shoes. All of them are flat shoes, there are no heels and for sure the most part of you girls are thinking.. THANKS GOD! haha

This pair in white with details in black are super cool. Maria really like them and during the show she told me..I need them. What do you think my friends?

Also in this collection appeared winks to the floral prints but like a dark forest, no something bright and the usual one

I really like those trousers and if you check the shoes, they have the floral print as well over velvet and in blue/white/grey tones. Super cool right?

Everybody know that I like a lot the prints and where the show was about to end, appeared some pieces with more floral prints and this time, the whole piece! like the dress you can see in the header of the post and also in the next blazer

it is awesome and also perfect for Spring! Imagine have that piece in your closet.. someone call you for a party or maybe a date and you wear that blazer dosen't matter if is summer, winter or what! you will look spectacular!

To finish, the bright dresses with lot of brilliants and good feelings crossed the runway and everybody there started to clap because as usual, the last outfit is always the most special...

Gorgeous final!

Looking forward for June and Men's Fashion Week! Milan in summer is special and Fashion Week, more!

What do you think about the F/W 2012-13 collection for you ladies?

I want to know your opinion!

How was your weekend?

THANKS A LOT!!!!
