V-I-S-U-A-L

When you see a picture it has to transmit you another feeling, another sense and of course make you feel there are many things to do yet

VISUAL effects are a special way to feel something different and I really like them! 

They start in a stablished idea whose can grow and be ART

I don't make a post with pictures that inspire since few months ago and NOW the time to make a new one has arrived

DO you like Visual Effects?

Is not important the effect they have, the important thing is WHY? that effect and WHAT it changes over the picture?

In color

in Black & White

or full of saturation

They maybe transmit how the person who made it is...

Maybe it is the one appear and liked but who knows?

but without doubt... the Visual Effect that I really like is the duplication of silhouettes...

The transitions are suuuper cool! What do you think?

and.. What about stripes??? they are not only good for clothes..

and maybe there is not a visual effect.. but the composition of pictures and a transition of moments is amazing..

This one is my favorite.. and yours?

Tell me what do you think about Visual effects and if you apply them in your art work!

How is the week going? I'm super super busy.. sorry if I don't have lot of time..

THANKS A LOT

THE EMPIRE OF CREATIONS

First of all, I would like to say sorry for not update last week! I was in Paris and London working all day long and no time for blogging!

Now, I'm at home and I have time for you and I want to introduce you the last trends for next Fall/Winter by Emporio and Giorgio Armani!

Everybody here knows the good feeling and relation I have with Armani team and Is always a pleasure for me talk about them and the cool pieces every season!

This time, if you like color, you are lucky!

The Giorgio Armani collection for women is full of colors like orange or pink in different kind of pieces, shapes and fabrics!

I really really like the neon pink blazers for example, they are stunning and perfect to say " Not is necessary to wear only black in winter" haha

There are lot of accessories full of Swarovski crystals in a mix with satin and metal looking like gold!

The perfect friend for you ladies, in a cool party no? 

Of course, an accessory like this clutch should have his couple and if you can wear the perfect outfit, why not?

There are many different shoes with ones you can combine perfectly the clutch and pieces in neon tones!

Of course, every shoes is made in a gorgeous background color over different parts of them and fabrics like velvet, conquers the trend by Armani!

Pink, Orange, Crystals and the most important point... THEY ARE FLAT SHOES! nothing more comfortable for you ladies or not?

What do you think the Fall/Winter collection without heels?

The showroom in Madrid is huge and before come from color to the dark side of Armani, I took few minute to watch the amazing views from the Armani balcony at Paseo de la Castellana

In the balcony I could talk a little bit with Nico and Maria about future projects, the upcoming fashion Weeks and lot of things more! 

Looking forward for 3rd week of June in Milan and Paris for Fashion Week!!!!

After being there around 10 minutes, I started to check some accessories more and the Emporio Armani collection.

I posted the show of Emporio few weeks ago but when you check the pieces in person everything is another world.

The fabrics, cuts and every detail! I look heavy but is very important for me hehe

I really like the flower print! It is different and maybe it could looks quite mysterious right?

What piece do you prefer from the last photo?

Of course, Men's collections were there and I took lot of time to check the A MA ZING shoes Mr Armani made for guys!

I die for this shoe... It is in neoprene and look like the ones used in golf... ART

I need them for next Fall/Winter for sure... You guys need this shoe for next season!

Do you like it?

Of course Armani thinks about everything and what happens if is raining and you wear your best pair of shoes? It is simple, you can wear a gum sole over the real shoe!

THIS IS THE PERFECTION! How many times I felt "oh no, it's raining my shoes will die! 

That problem anymore with us!

Is it a good idea or not? maybe many of you think. yes but it is not very visual and beautiful but think in this way.. your shoes will care what they are haha!

Again, amazing Armani and looking forward to discover the new Men's Collection in Milan in few weeks and the Armani Privé collection!

How was your weekend? Planning your summer?

Mine was normal, I'm a little bit ill but fine!

THANKS A LOT EVERYBODY!

UN-REAL

In Spring and Summer you may be and you can live two different sides of life and way to dress..

The simple cuts and shapes combined with the most different and amazing textile technologies are a huge example and that is what Natalia Grzybowski wanted to develop in her S/S 2012 collection.

When I saw the collection, I could feel like inside a botanic garden! It is like explore another world inside the Fashion Industry and in the same time, give you ladies the chance to wear something suuuper cool and new!

One of my favorite things in this collection are the shapes you can find in the basic silhouette! 

For me they are super cool and make this dress something structural and beautiful.. it is like the garden starts to grow and grow haha! What do you think?

I really like to observe the back part of every piece when I go to any presentation, Re-see or something... They are sometimes something suuper beautiful and the retail work innovative and gorgeous. 

Do you check the back part of pieces during shows etc?

Talking about back, there is a piece I specially like with shape of jacket!

I'm not pretty sure what the fabric is but look at the neck part! It is like a huge petal starts to develop from inside to the rest of the flower.. well, maybe I'm freaking out with the description but it is super cool no?

At least different and special it is and also the idea she wants to express is perfectly reflected! When you close your eyes, what kind of print you may imagine talking about botanic gardens?

Another basic piece for summer and in special for you ladies, are shorts! In denim, neoprene, different gamut of... that is not important, the important thing is to wear them!

I think these shorts are perfect and most in combination with this jacket.

The re-interpretation of the currently cyber-organism from women is what Natalia is trying to tell.

Another point important to check and for what I say I'm always trying to discover the back part of different pieces is because the story that clothes is telling you from back, could be another super different at the front side!

What do you think now? It's super different right? I prefer the front one! is super beautiful and in combination with that naked blouse, 10 points!

I think you know I'm a huge lover of prints and most if they are another sense, something like hidden, not very usual and forbidden

I remember an amazing collection by Ana Locking, a Spanish designer, where all the prints were red blood cells, nervous systems...I will not forget that spring/summer line.. was super amazing!

Ana came to my mind when I saw these trousers because although they are petals, make me feel the same feeling I took during the Ana's show and I'm sure many of you are impatience to taste and wear a piece from Natalia collection or I'm wrong? haha

I think everybody should put their eyes over new designers.. They are visionaries, the future into the Fashion Industry and those ones could start to make dream the world in few years!

What do you think about Natalia Grzybowski's line? and about new designers?

THANKS EVERYBODY FOR BEING HERE! 

I'm having days full of things to do and traveling a lot. Hopefully I will take some time to be here during this week!

How was the weekend?

THEIR WORLD IS MORE THAN DENIM

Although I arrived very late and was not possible to discover the awesome proposals by Levis live, I have to say I really enjoyed the time there and had an awesome time with friends inside the place

Levis is more than a denim world and before arrive, some models like my friend Alex Sanchez de Mora, made an amazing performance where every one made different things like wake up in a fictional bedroom, dress up time... Very cool!

After being 5 mins in the presentations, Hugo, the manager of Finally agency introduced me some of the Levis new collection parts 

I really liked every t-shirt! they are my main basic piece every summer and without doubt Levis has loads of them and suuuper cool!

Also there are denim short trousers, shirts, caps and some cardigans perfect for any summer night colder than others.

The trackman shirts are my favorite ones! haha I know some people thinks they are not so cool but you know, everybody is different and in that point the tastes take loads of possibilities!

if you think about Levis, what is the first thing arrives to your mind?

In mine arrives Jeans! hah I recommend to everybody get a pair of Levis jeans! they for sure would be your best friend years and years! My mother has a pair of Levis since I was born, imagine.. 24 years ago! haha

Talking about the presentation, the location was super cool

Everything was performed like California and very American style. Something vintage, desert and super cool was the environment there and also a bit of Texas with Mexico.. what a mix right? haha

I have to say again the place was suuuper cool and full of light! I think that is super important, I always say the same but it's true haha!

Do you like it? I remember a California poster and also another with Route 66! I want do that Route soon, it is a special point in my life agenda.

What is the most amazing plan do you have or you would like to do in your life?

Of course, a presentation without food and cocktails is not a presentation...

Tortilla, sushi, cheese I don't know! everything was there and was like.. THANKS GOD! haha

I took a delicious cocktail with chili haha and was funny because it was delicious!

But without doubt I will not forget this presentation thanks to the chocolate... YES!

I ate the most delicious dessert I've ever eaten in my life here, in Levis presentation. It was a mini fondant chocolate cake with a raspberry in the middle...

I don't have a picture but believe me.. CRAZY!

What do you think about Levis and also about presentations? I know some of you usually attend some of them!

I'm off to Milan since friday because of ODDA. I'm super excited and nervous! Will tell you how is it going soon!

How was your weekend? SUMMER is here, oh yeah!

THANKS A LOT!

WELCOME TO THE RUSSIAN STYLE

Ladies & Gentleman, Fall/Winter 2012-13 are full of amazing pieces for both and imagine what Salvatore Ferragamo has for you!

Although I showed you the Women's show few weeks ago, always the presentations are special.. you can touch, you can understand every cut and inspiration..it is such an awesome feeling.

I remember when I started to study fashion design and now that I'm working in the other side, is super beautiful discover collections like this one with these loads of inspirations.

A huge part of this collection to highlight are the accessories in lot of colors, shapes, pieces and inspirations.

There are no limits, and in this pictures as you can see, bags are a main and big point!

The dark colors are a big part of the palette with a vintage inspiration in the shape and something russian.

The same happens with shoes! They are half in velvet and half full of brocade. A special point talking about shoes, are the amazing heels with a shape similar than a fin! I always say the same but heels with shape=amazing haha!

Look at the prints over those shoes! they are made in little gold crystals and here you can also find that russian inspiration I'm telling you since the beginning.

Do you like it?

These pair of shoes are very different than the others. The crystal composition is super cool and also make me think in the 70`s LA! no idea why haha!

Inspirations and inspirations is from my point of view, something important and special for telling a story, for getting closer to the people who love your brand! maybe some people don't like the Russian inspirations, but the one like the last shoes and the next belts and bags, yes

What do you think about the purple bag?

Talking about inspirations, there is another usual for next fall/Winter 2012-13!

What do you think about military? and if Military is a huge inspiration for next season?

It's beautiful to discover how strong these outfits may be! Look at the shoes and that amazing coat! It is super warm and the best piece for cold months!

GUYS! Salvatore Ferragamo has also for you loads of pieces can't be far from our closet!

SHOES SHOES SHOES and more shoes is the first thing I could see 

There is a pair in a dark red leather super cool. The style is super classic but with a wink of innovation that make them be PERFECT!

What kind of shoes do you prefer my friends?

There are not only accessories! Pieces like the next one made me feel in summer, although it is for next Fall/Winter haha

Is or not is awesome? OMG! how much I need the good weather and come to Milan!!! 

The print is full of colors! I not usually wear shirts but there are some special dates I should do it and the best thing is to wear pieces like this!

To finish, I wanna highlight the perfect piece for a trip! I always have the same problem when I have to travel because I need a big bag for not check in haha!

What do you think about Ferragamo?

Hope your weekend went good!! ODDA is here.. just 4 days and the magazine will say hello to PARIS!

THANKS MY FRIENDS!
