RECENT LOOK AND RANDOM THOUGHTS

It is all about the numbered tees for quite a while in fashion and so it is also in my wardrobe. I had already a couple, which sadly ended as my 'night-gowns',but now my life is going to change, 'cos I found a perfect one. Yes, I can state consciously that this new baby is my REAL TRUE LOVE.

It has started with Stella Jean collection  that numbers colonized my mind (check the second look of it, which is so-so-very perfect HERE). Than some mid-season sale in H&M  appeared, so idea of numbers came back to me with awesome top I have seen and even though in the very last moment I've stopped myself from buying it (reason you can find HERE) I kept thinking about an oversized tees constantly.They say never prize day before sunset and this is so true, 'cos when I was so proud of myself for keeping to my resolution of not spending money,  I SO TOTALLY ACCIDENTALLY (bullshit!) got to the second hand store and just could not resist when seeing this awesome top! Okey, I know there is a plan and I am going to stick to it, but it was just a tiny little bit of weakness while looking for a perfect party dress...

(That doesn't sound good... Buying a party dress when 'saving plan' is running? Hmm... )

Not to plunge more I will just shift the responsibility to Hedi Slimane, who made gorgeous collection for Saint Laurent (HERE) and with look of this amazing gold dress made all my party outfits look hideous. As today is an awesome music gig, where a friend of mine is playing (the track above is his btw), I could not attend it in some old dress everybody has seen thousands of times!

Luckily my inspiration was referring to vintage, so vintage shop could fulfil my needs and I have bought three amazing garments (yes, three, 'cos dress needed a belt) for 77 KCZ! . This is just 2 pounds 50 pence, so if I resign from coffee at work for two days in a row I will work it out. With this positive news, which makes me believe that my saving plan is still on, I want to wish you a happy Friday!

PFW SS2015 VALENTINO

Fashion is kind of a craft. 

By saying craft we imagine lots of  tedious work and a person responsible for its execution. Usually it is being used referring to haute couture, but it concerns also it's more casual sister, the ready to wear collections. The second type of fashion may be not fully hand made, yet not so unique, but after seeing Valentino's runaway in Paris it is difficult not to agree that it is a craft indeed.

A duet of Italian designers, Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli, has played with the fabric in all possible ways. The cut it out in complicated, amazingly catching the eye style. They printed it, dyed it, embroidered it and assemble in amazing garments. The aim was finding a perfect spot between over and under exaggerating and keeping it simple and fresh.

This is the art in it's best, defined by remembering past, appealing to the finest arts and replacing it's obsolete character with new spirit, totally suitable for nowadays streets.

PFW SS2015 SAINT LAURENT

Hedi Slimane (if you want to know more his works you can click HERE or HERE) is one of the designers who perfectly know how the past should be seen, to bring from it all it's best and keep it very up to present. 

This is very edgy collection and this pugnacious character was introduced even before the show itself. The black book with works of Robert Heinecken, American artist and 'paraphotographer', whose pieces were oscillating in between art and pornography were to invite guests for a feast of fine clothing art. 

It has been shown everything, what we feel like seen before. It was something Clockwise Orange alike with huge impact of Jane Birkin fringe hairstyle or Liza Minelli sequin garments. Allegories brought so fragilely up till yesterday's Paris Fashion Week show to fit exactly into what we want to wear now. 

Hats, platform heels, deep neckline tops and dresses like from a movie about bohemian Paris youth. Everything so perfect with it's carelessness and bits of nonchalance, Strong answer to modern minimalism underlining the beauty of considerately exposed woman's body.
