strawberry fields

these days i'm totally into rock&roll fashion.
highlights:
sharp colors and stripes
the beatles haircuts. so british and cool. i noticed a small process of reinvention on bucharest streets...which is enchanting.
fringed clothing items. they may look old-fashioned...but it's certainly their point. without the right attitude it just looks ridiculous
the rolling stones symbol. go for a vintage t-shirt and wear it 10 days in a row. don't forget to shower. and DO NOT confound it with the Kiss FM symbol. they just lack imagination!

rising trends

(Erin Wasson, Preen, Christopher Kane, House of Holland, Dolce&Gabbana, Twenty & twelve, Erin Wasson, Eley kishimoto, Burberry, Proenza Schouler, Moschino, Blumarine, Ashish, Prada, Jeremy Scott.)

there's certainly a boudoir feeling that sparkles on the catwalks; bras hiding under sheer tops or daring under denim-vests. Lingerie that shined on catwalks: at Dolce and Gabbana, Prada, Preen, Erin Wasson, Twenty &Twelve, House of Holland and Christopher Kane.
Knitted, comfy, rolled socks looking absolutely stunning in high-heeled shoes at Eley kishimoto, Erin Wasson and Burberry.
The cross-necklace trend channeling the faith in the 90s, rock music and anarchy as seen at Erin Wasson and Twenty & Twelve.
The light, fruity,tropical trend that works in cosmopolitan cities at Prada, Blumarine, Moschino, Proenza Schouler, Ashish.
High: Prada plastic shoes with strong, angular heels; the longing for a grungy-urban spirit in Erin Wasson's fabulous collection; the naughty hairdos and make-up at Prada.
Low: Jeremy Scott's collection. It looks like he dreamed about the Flintstones a night before and then draw the entire collection on speed.

The future's grey

Nicola Morgan is an award winning fashion designer who uses a special method for cutting the garments and joining fabrics together, without the need of sewing. There are one-piece clothes with futuristic, metalic details, all reminding me of Huxley's Brave New World. I'm not digging this "useful-rigid-architectural clothing" trend. Even though it's cool because it's a direction marked by fast-forward newness and countless possibilities.

chasing liberty

It's almost natural for an ordinary person to associate the animal print with vulgarity. Seing 50 something wrinkled moms squeezing their boobs to fit into a latex animal print blouse might be a pretty disturbing vision. but animal prints can be delightful. they bring a touch of agressiveness to an outfit, without being kitch or "too much".

you don't have to bleach your hair or wait 30 years to have access to a resourceful print. just look how fabulous kate moss and other fashionistas like rumi look. and take a hint.
