Fashion Illustrarion

Refinery 29 has presented this illustrations on fashion's favorite personalities. Tom Ford, Marc Jacobs, Anna piaggi were some of the personalities they been illustrated. I would have loved to see Grace Coddington, Hamish Bowles and  of course Miss Wintour

Anna Piaggi and one of my favorites Andre Leon Talley, he is hilarious, I loved his moments on the September Issue.

Daphne Guinness and Anna Dello Russo two women with Big personalities and bigger closets, I can't imagine the size of Guinness's closet. 

Diane Permet And Kawakubo

Susie Bubble and Iris maybe two of the  cutest people  in fashion, Stylish eclectic and adorable. Susie  is one of my favorite bloggers, It's amazing how sensitive  she  is to fashion and design.

RAF SIMONS

Last year when John Galliano was fired from Dior I was devastated, I'm not exaggerating. It was all I could talk about for weeks, Galliano for me is Couture, I love the guy, Crazy, Dramatic, Theatrical, despite anything he might say or do He is an amazing designer someone who inspires me. Every time I watched a new Couture collection I stayed a long time wondering how much work the dresses would have taken and how crazy everything was. He is the type of designer that you cannot be neutral about you must have an opinion because he walks on the line between being a genius and just vulgar. The thing is I love him and I am genuinely worried of who can do the couture job, because I do not believe the pret-a-porter line is a problem. After the Gayten disappointment I had really big expectations for Simons. I love belgian designer in general. So what could go wrong. I know most people love the line but I think most of it is just plain.
Let's start from the highlights:

 Love this dresses VERY Dior flatering for the body, the deep blue in the right one is amazing and the texture in the bottom is just stunning, Amazing dress, a timeless classic. The dress on the left is puffy something that I used to love from the Dior couture collections, everything was girly and puffy. I like this dress, the reason why I do not love it is because Im not very fond on the transparency on the top, but its a tren so I won't critisize it, But the length is weird and that is what makes me not be in love with It but I do believe its a very Dior Dress done In a beautiful way.

Im in love with both dresses although I've got the same transparency problem with the one in the left. I do believe the dresses are beautiful but do they belong in a Dior collection, I don't thing they are very Dior. But I would wear both of them anyway, amazing dresses.

Beautiful again, but is this Couture? I Don't think so.

The coat has the shape of a typical Dior Couture Coat, But the Pattern? I think this is a piece that shows Simons as a designer, and I like It but I do not love him doing Couture.

So I do have to say that he made mostly a very beautiful collection but for some exceptions it just doesn't feel like Couture.

Dancers among Us

"BE passionate, joyful, euphoric, intense, desperate, present, ALIVE"

This are the words that have inspired Jordan Matter from 2009 when he decided to start

this project, Dancers among Us. Matter was wondering after watching his little kid play,

 Where does our passion go when we grow up? How would it look if we do everyday 

activities with joy? So, the idea for this project became capturing people doing regular 

activities with passion, for this he chose dancers. In the words of the artist : 

 "Dancers are storytellers. They’re trained to personify passionate moments, their bodies 

imbued with a stunning combination of artistry and athleticism. They create a fantasy 

world, offering us a deeper look into familiar settings. They bring to life what we feel but are 

unable to express physically."

Everyday places, different people, different attitudes.

"The process of producing the images is organic; created through a spontaneous 

collaboration with the dancers. The resulting photographs are unaffected and not highly 

stylized. The essence of the subject material parallels the current state of our society, 

where people are finding an appreciation of smaller, simpler pleasures. The images are 

infused with a humor and joyfulness that make the viewer feel good. The carefree nature of 

the work is a welcome antidote to the persistent anxiety that defines many people’s lives."

- Jordan Matter

POP-UP PARADISES

Today I'll be featuring another Argentinean artist, Manuel Ameztoy. He was born in La Plata, Argentina, he has done a 


large number of succesfull artistic instalations in the country and abroad, his most notabel work are surelly "Las Fuentes 


del Nilo" (2011) and "Cortar y Pegar" that he made for Fundacion PROA  (one of Argentinas most respected art 


institutions). In this las work he also explores Fretwork as in "Paraisos Desplegables" (Pop-Up Paradises) his latest 


work that  its now at the  Faena Art's Center. 

Paraisos Desplegables  is a site Specific Installation of 630 square m, made of synthetic and artificial textiles that have 


been cutted by hand. The exhibition is inspired in the landscapes of Entre Rios, the  province were the artist currently 


live, wich has a very humid climate that results on a very varied vegetation, this is  important  because the exhibition is 


very jungle like, the fabric is coming from the ceiling and you feel in some kind of forest's. As I already mention the 


inspiration is nature so he made each fretwork unique but also using within the same piece a pattern that he would 


repeat, rotate and also mirrored. The result is  beautiful, if you are  in Buenos Aires right now you shouldn't miss it. 


Following the picture there is a video  of the artist talking(it's  in Spanish) but you can also see the dimensions of the 


sculptures and and texture that one cannot appreciate in the pictures,

Inovation in Fashion Shows

The 2pac Hologram this year( though it wasn't the first hologram to be featured on a concert), set the

start for a trend that, I think, we are going to see a lot more. Two shows have taken advantage specially

well of this technology: Burberry Fashion Show in Beijing and the Stefan Eckert's Fashion Show . The

use of this technology was quite similar although the results look very different, the Burberry show

looked a lot more conservative than the Eckert's  show.  Overall, both shows looked beautiful and

exiting, the use of holograms is perfect for fashion shows because it ads movement and other elements

that takes them to a whole new level.

SerpentSea

Sophie Auchauer Started this project, Serpent Sea, after coming back from a sailing trip. All the 


rugs are made of recicled sailing ropes and woven with tradicional sailor knots. I love the fact 


that she named her rugs styles after three famous pirates, "Drake", "Bonny" and "Morgan".  

All the rugs are handmade and unique, I'm in love  with the color combinations

Triangulo Dorado

So, continuing with the Latin American theme that I started yesterday, today I'm going to show you

my favorite street artist from my city, Buenos Aires. 

Santiago Panichelli, Pedro Panichelli and Francisco Ferreyra are all visual art graduates wich share their

pasion for  painting  and art. Together the make this team called Triangulo Dorado. What I love about

their work is the use of color, it has the perfect combination between intuitive and studied, due to their

academic background that gives them the knowledge on color theory.Their work are usually huge


murals that you can see on the street or just riding the train, most of the time they are an image next to

a text that sets the mood for the image. 

Great color combination different shades of blue and purple, combine in such a way that they make a 

texture that looks absolutely organic

Car Poolers By Alejandro Cartagena

This is a photographic story on Mexican Car Poolers done By Artist Alejandro Cartagena, that I

loved. As a Latin American I see this daily and I  had never thought that someone can make something

artistic and fun on something that is absolutely normal here, like too many people in one car traveling

on a freeway like this. Its dangerous but its one of thous things that you just take for granted because

they are there and you wouldn't stop to think about. That's why I believe this serie is so good, because

of it's quotidianity because he puts on the spot something that is usually unseen.

Further is a line of skin care products, lotions and candles made from derived vegetable oil. Their products has a signature 


fragrance made of Bergamot, olive and exotic grasses. But the most important  facts is that it's sustainable and doesn't 


test their products on animals. So, in  order to create a package fit  for this product the  creative agency, Aesthetic 


Movement ,  made a package honoring the "made in the garage" tradition using cans and containers that would normally 


be used for oils and paint. It  resulted in this beautiful product line that reflects very well the nature of the product.

Infinitely Kusama

Japanese 82-years-old Icon, Yayoi Kusama and Louis Vuitton will be launching their collection on July 

10th this year the collection is made of accesories, leather good, ready-to- wear  but of  course  the most 

expected by the fans will be the bags. It's not the first  time that Marc Jacobs and Kusama have 

collaborated, he is known to be very inspired by her work, in fact in the "Marc Jacobs and Louis 

Vuitton" documentary he has really interesting conversations with her. It will surely be a very natural 

collaboration.  I am not a fan a Vuitton, but I do think that Marc + Kusama is a match made in heaven, 

Im looking foward to see the complete collection.

Just some of Kusamas prior work:

Rack360 - Naolab ®

Rack360 - Naolab ®

The Rack 360 is an 80 cm tall stack of drawers, that open in a spiral way. It's practical an designed for 

small spaces because it only uses 10 cm of space to fit 12 drawers. Its pretty practical for color pencils,

 markers and DYT materials in general, I would  totally wear it for that, now I have all my stuff all over 

the place. What would you use it for?

Switcheroo by Hana Pusut

The idea is to get some couples to choose their own clothes and then switch it with their 


partner. This results in some funny images. The idea, is questioning gender, What makes 


us masculine us femenine? Why do we think are clothes makes us that way? I believe it's a 


very interesting experiment. Images speak for themselves.

I Specially like this two couples because  they also added attitude to the photos wich makes them a lot funner to watch an also puts emphasis on the  goal of them, which is exchanging roles.

Check out the  entire  collection at the artist website, It's worth it!!
