Givenchy Haute Couture 09/10 Spring

January 31, 2009 by jeffmaia

With a flowered floor started the runway which is romantic and quite sexual. the beginning was with taillers and skirts with different cuts, they are beige and then the runway change for white dresses made by crossing ribbons with a transparent fabric on the top. later it started show dresses with V-neck made by satin. Up to that time it hadn’t showed prints on the show, but in this collection there are two pieces with flower petals prints, and there are a lot of ribbons making the bodies of the dresses. He finished the show with black dresses with V-neck.

Really good I loved it!

Christian Lacroix Haute Couture 09/10 Spring

January 30, 2009 by jeffmaia

It starts with military way and then it change completely, to loose, coloured and bulky dresses. There are a little bit of black and white, but the highlight of the show were the colours.

There are dresses which reminisced me about Edwardian era, because there are a lot of information on the clothes, too much colours, too many embroideries and the bulky, of course.

The skirt green with blue sounds so beautiful. I really loved it.. The fiancée dress are prefect, the bodice has a beautiful embroidery.

The tulle dresses were the only thing that was unnecessary.

Chanel Haute Couture 09/10 Spring

January 29, 2009 by jeffmaia

What a details, what a finishes. The simple goes chic, that’s what Karl Lagerfelt did yesterday morning. To tell the truth I don’t think black and white is for spring summer, but this collection remained me of it. I can’t say why.

What always calls me attention on the Chanel shows are the details, they are so accurate, and sometimes we can’t find them on the pictures. Look the clothes edge, closer on the prints, sequins, crochet and the sculpted collars.

It’s funny that with recession Chanel could make a very good collection and did not lose its style even spending less. You could noticed that the catwalk are a little simple.

I loved the degrading embroideries starting the bottom to the top and the transparency on the top of tight white trousers. There are a little bit of geometry on the embroideries.

The show is practically white, the black was made to make the details which have made all the difference.

Armani Privé HC 09/10 Spring

January 27, 2009 by jeffmaia

He is famous by his suits, this time there are plenty of them on the show. They have worked sleeves. The suit has sort of a bow which goes around it making a belt.. really creative.

Armani Privé is also known by your jewellery in this collection there are a lots of them, and beautiful and well-made ones.

He made embroideries of flowers and fans, really great ones. The hair are amazing really short and really black, and there are ones fixed to top.

The gowns weren’t too much exciting, there aren’t any creation on them. Of course there were a few great gowns.

Christian Dior HC Spring 09/10

January 27, 2009 by jeffmaia

I’ve been seeing a lot of bad comments about Christian Dior Luxury and how this collection is simple. I complete disagree. The collection is not so innovating, of course, but who is gonna be all the time?

There are beautiful skirts with beautiful volumes as usual, the  silhouette is the same as before. There are a lot of tulip print on the gowns. To tell the truth the gowns were the only things that let me down. the architectural sleeves were what I loved most.

check some pictures out.

December Flair

November 25, 2008 by jeffmaia

In December issue of Flair Magazine, we have a great editorial to see, and we can also know a very good photographer whom I haven`t heard before, Kenneth Cappello.

He started his career in 2001, with skateboarding and punk rock style. he has photoshot for well-known magazine as iD, men’s vogue, vanity fair, dazed & confused, GQ, flair and mixte.

In this editorial you can see that, the model is a punk rock girl. The editorial looks very dark. But it is interesting to remember the punk-rock-girl style isn`t on the costumes, but on the hair and make up.

The model is Yulia Kharlapanova, and the stylist is Daniela Paudice.





You can also have more information of Kenneth Cappello on his official site, kennethcappello.com.

Page Six shocked us today!

November 18, 2008 by jeffmaia

Page Six is known by releasing big rumours, and this time it affected the Fashion Industry. It says that Anna Wintour is thinking about retirement. I’m wondering whether it is possible or not. PS says also that her contract with Vogue is up soon.

For the ones who don’t know Anna Wintour (do those have the right of living ?), She is the editor-in-chief of American Vogue (the most important fashion publication in the world), she’s held this position since 1988, when Grace Mirabella left the magazine. She was born in London in 1949, she became interested in fashion as a teenager, and all over the years she became a very respected icon in the fashion world.

The sources (always them) said that she is has been putting out feelers to intimate friends recommending a possible replacement to S.I. Newhouse. S.I. NewHouse is chairman of the Advanced Publications, which publish many brands in the world of magazines as, Vogue, Vanity Fair, The New Yorker and Portfolio.

If this rumour is true I have to tell that she’ll be sorely missed by everyone on this industry, which she’s been helping to build. Lets wait and see the next episodes

Vogue Uk Unbelievable Fashion

November 12, 2008 by jeffmaia

I stopped my attention for this editorial of December VUK, because it has its unbelievable thing. You can notice that there are a lot of editorial around the fashion world and the unbelievable thing of this one is that it doesn’t need anything but the clothes.

One editorial can be made by various things as environment, production and whatever. But this one we have perfect clothes and beautiful make ups. I’ve discovered great designers whom I didn’t know as, Yohji Yamamoto, Gareth Pugh, Hussein Chalayan and Thierry Mugler.

All the clothes has some things in common. They are all old collection of great designers. And they are coloured, large and loose. Check it out!

This gold one is so fucking creative and different. The only things that you can notice are that it has a huge volume, and It is short. It seems that is made by some gold ribbons and It has a very loose sleeve.

Hussein Chalayan was the designer whom more amazed me. I was wondering how could I don’t know him. He was born in Turkish in 1970. He moved with his family to London and there he studied design. This Hussein look on the editorial was taken from the London Fashion Week Autumn Winter 2000. His collection on this time was very clean and plain, but in the end of the runway the things start be very creative like chair cover becoming a dress and then the chair become a suitcase. What the hell? The runway ending was when the model stepped into the middle of the coffee-table and then it became a skirt.

For this collection Hussein celebrated his 10 years of his career. The Groningen Museum displayed in large-scale solo exhibition of his work. He deserved it.
