Mugler

Normally I'm not a big fan of doing posts on one particular fashion show. But when something extraordinairy like this Mugler show comes around, the only thing I want to do is share it with all of you!

The show started with 4 or 5 models wearing (almost) the same white outfit.
This duo/triple/quatro model thing is really becoming a trend this season!

And then groups of models strutted the runway, in an unclear confusing choreography. But what else can you expect from Mugler? All pieces where black and white, except for an orange and a red dress. Omnipresent were the usual Mugler-assymetricality and edginess. Models wore Louboutins.
It was everything you could expect from Mugler, and so much more.

I must admit, this collection is one of the best I've seen this season. I feel like this IS fashion like it is meant to be. Pure aesthetical perfection. Wow.

Winter Picknick

Winter is almost leaving, Spring is coming. So is there any better way to spend your Friday afternoon than by catching the first warmth of the sun, laying in the fields on the most camp blanket you can find?

Winter picknicks don't differ much from regular summer picknicks. Except maybe from the fact that you might want to bring hot Jasmin tea instead of champagne, and an extra blanket to keep you warm. But don't let that withold you from trying it! I personally like to read a book and listen to Bon Iver and Zaz. But I imagine your boyfriend or children would be good company too.

 

Have you ever had a winter picknick? Are there things you would recommend? Let us know! x

New Toy

Yesterday my parents surprised me with a little present for my 18th birthday ;-)

They got me a Canon 600D. No need to say I freaked out. I've wanted a reflex camera for so long and now I finally have one! Done with the crappy pictures, only professional photo's now! Can't wait to start annoying my friends like a real papparazzi. ClickClikClick. ;-)

Show me your teeth

My bag is packed, I went to the hairdresser, bought a stack of fashion magazines, made a 'teeth-themed' playlist.. I think I'm ready. 

Tomorrow, my wisdom teeh will be removed. 

In an effort to pull myself together and find some courage, I made a list of pros and cons

Yay
-Now I actually have a reason to make drama
-I will be drugged by a professional
-I won't be able to eat, so I'll lose weight
-I get to wear huge dramatic scarfs and fur snoods
-People will come visit and bring gifts
-I get to eat as much icecream as I want
-The doctor is quite hot.

Nay
-My face will be swollen and ugly for at least a week
-It will hurt :-(

As you see, the yay list is much longer than the nay list. I hope it will turn out not that bad. Did you have your wisdom teeth pulled? Tell me about it!

Teeth - Lady Gaga

We have a Winner!

Goodmorning dear readers!

On this lovely Sunday morning, I have the honour to make one reader very happy. The give-away of the JuliaJune dress has been closed, and a winner is selected! 

Congratulations Ine!

You are now the owner of this gorgeous €260 dress.

About the porcedure; I made a list of all the participants in the order of participation and gave every entry a number. Then I used RANDOM.ORG to pick a random number.

Dying Front Row

Let's not make a habit of these RIP posts please..They're not good for my mood.

Certainly not when they concern special people like Zelda Kaplan.

Miss Kaplan was just about to watch the Joanna Mastroianni show in the Lincoln Center, NYC, when she collapsed on her front row seat. The 95-year-old was still a regular at NY's hottest clubs, events and fashion shows. It seems like the term socialite was invented just for her. 

Zelda was known for her unique style (long robes made of imported African fabrics), her charity work, her battle for feminism and the energy she still possesed at her age.

 

  

Zelda, you will be missed.

Diva Farewell

This morning, just 10minutes ago, I woke up from a friend's text, telling me Whitney Houston died.

I will always remember her as the ultimate diva. She became successfull at a young age, had to cope with drugs and bad boyfriends, fell a long way down but tried to stand straight up again. And now, she died way too young. It's the same story, happening over and over.

Two years ago, on this day, another legend died. Yes, it has already been two years since we received the news about Alexander Mcqueen.

Let's spend some thoughts in the remembrance of two beautiful people today.

Not 'En Vogue'

Remember this post 'The Downfall of Vogue' I did last October? Well, it was about the outrageous amount of publicity and the lack of original content there was to be found in their September Issue. That was almost four months ago. During that time I went on a quest for interesting and independent magazines. The magazines portrayed below managed to catch my eye and prove to be read-worthy.

WAD

 

WAD or "We'ar Different"(no you grammar-nazi, that's no typo) I the least you could say about this magazine.  Dedicated to urban fashion and culture, it is an international bible for fans of city-wear. WAD is not afraid to try out unconventional methods and put together the most crazy looks. The editorials in the magazine were the best.

Label Magazine

 Label Magazine is a Belgian-based magazine that, in my opinion, gives a more 'professional' vision on the industry. If I'd be a store owner, this is what I would most definitely read.

Nice to know; Our very own Annebeth Bels from The Styling Dutchman is a writer at Label Magazine.

 Fantastic Man

 I discovered Fantastic Man after a tip from Mr Immi 'Style4Guys' Abrahams. FM is dedicated to men's fashion. It offers good interviews with (thank god) non-cliché questions. It's a bit sad most of the pictures are printed in black&white, but at least the content is from a respectable level.

 CODE

This is the most 'alternative' one of these four magazines. And the most expensive one too ;-) Each issue of CODE contains only a few subjects, but the articles are very in-depth. After you've read one, you feel like you're a professional on the subject.

All magazines can be found in the press shop or online.

Mr Metro for a day

This morning I had to make a little detour on my way to school, to pick up today's 'Metro' at the station. As you might know, Karl Lagerfeld is crowned 'Mr Metro for a day' and given the chance to be editor-in-chief of the Metro newspaper today. He's following up Lady Gaga, who was guest-editor just last year.

Even though Gaga's paper was more interesting, Karl did a great job. There were articels on 'The Lagerfeld Touch', Karl's clothes in different cities, His homes and offices, Haider Ackerman, Karl's Diet,.. And of course an interview.

He confesses strange things like 'I'm not interested in sex'.(So what's the Giabiconi boy for then?) and 'I don't have a kitchen, only a place to heat food, I don't want my house to smell'.

There was some fashion stuff too, but nothing really new or surprising, so the gossip was more interesting. Did you have a chance to grab the paper and read it? What did you think?

I look like a woman, but I think like a man

As a way to entertain women across America last night, when their respective husbands were barbarricaly screaming and shouting (aka 'The Superbowl'), CBS broadcasted a special episode of '60 minutes' by Morley Safer. The episode was dedicated to strong women and featured Dolly Parton, Anna Wintour and Meryl Streep and portrayed in-depth profiles.

You might not be a fan of these women, but you can't deny their talents. Each is an authority in their field.



Main reason I watched this was of course the part about Anna Wintour. Even though I'm not a big Vogue-adept, it's interesting to observe this fashion myth.

When asked ''A magazine isn't a democracy, it's a dictatorship and you're the dictator, no?'' she answers; ''It’s a group of people coming together presenting ideas from which I pick what I think is the best mix for every issue, but in the end, the decision has to be mine.'' Instead of just saying yes. And that's one of the reasons I respect her.
