Irina Shabayeva Fall/10 - A must follow designer



Everybody remembers of Irina Shabayeva from Project Runway, but I think that that is a bit old news already, so I prefer to talk about Irina Shabayeva as one of rising stars of New York fashion scene. Irina has talent, her creations are very elegant and glamorous and make me want to "drink champagne in Saint-Tropez", and besides that she is a very determined person, for what I remember of her participation on Project Runway. Above you can watch the videos of her Fall/10/11 collection presented at New York Fashion Week.

Christian Louboutin in Wonderland



We have seen several labels getting inspired by Alice in Wonderland for their collections, campaigns or windows and doing beautiful things, but I must admit this is not just another one of those.

Temos visto várias marcas a inspirarem-se na Alice no País das Maravilhas para criar colecções, campanhas ou vitrines e a fazerem coisas magníficas, mas tenho que admitir que esta não é mais uma dessas.

Nous avons vu plusieurs marques d'être guidé dans Alice au pays des merveilles pour créer des collections, des campagnes ou des fenêtres et de faire des choses merveilleuses, mais je dois admettre que ce n'est pas un de ces.

Malcolm McLaren funeral cortege



"It is in these conditions that a parodic end of the division of labour suddenly appears, with carnivalesque gaiety, all the more welcome because it coincides with the generalised disappearance of all true competence. A financier can be a singer, a lawyer a police spy, a baker can parade his literary tastes, an actor can be president, a chef can philosophize on the movements of baking as if they were landmarks in universal history. Each can join the spectacle, in order publicly to adopt, or sometimes secretly practice, an entirely different activity from whatever speciality first made their name. Where the possession of "mediatic status" has acquired infinitely more importance than the value of anything one might actually be capable of doing, it is normal for this status to be easily transferable and to confer the right to shine in the same fashion to anyone anywhere. Most often these accelerated media particles pursue their simple orbit of statutorily guaranteed admiration. But it happens that the mediatic transition provides the cover for many enterprises, officially independent but in fact secretly linked by various ad hoc networks. With the result that occasionally the social division of labour, along with the easily foreseeable solidarity of its use, reappears in quite new forms: for example, one can now publish a novel in order to arrange an assassination. Such picturesque examples also go to show that one should never trust someone because of their job.

But the highest ambition of the integrated spectacular is still that the secret agents become revolutionaries, and that the revolutionaries become secret agents."


Guy Debord at "Commentaries on The Society of The Spectacle", 1988.

The fabulous Armani Hotel Dubai


Armani Hotel Entrance

I was expecting this for so long, and now it happened. Mr. Giorgio Armani opened his newest hotel, the Armani Hotel Dubai at the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, and I surrendered to its charms and elegance.

Há muito tempo que estava à espera disto e finalmente aconteceu. O Sr.Giorgio Armani inaugurou o seu novo hotel, o Armani Hotel Dubai, na zona de Burj Khalifa no Dubai, e rendi-me ao seu charme e elegância.

منذ فترة طويلة وانتظار حدث ما حدث أخيرا. افتتح السيد جورجيو أرماني فندقه الجديد ، فندق أرماني دبي ، خليفة
في منطقة برج دبي ، وكنت استسلم لسحرها وأناقتها.

Maison Chaplin's Haute-Couture suggestions for Spring/10:




Both dresses by Dior Haute-Couture and jewellery in the first image by Harry Winston. Getting more royal is impossible without Harry Winston.


Dior Haute-Couture dress


On the left: Chanel Haute-Couture dress and jewellery by Bulgari. I like the mixing of the jacket with the dress, she looks elegant but also youth.
On the right: Elie Saab dress. Too much sensual, more than Elie Saab's usual dresses, but beautiful.
