+ Into Paul Frank +

The retro pop details in Paul Frank’s stand during the last Bread & Butter were amazing. I must admit the wooden TV is totally awesome but, if I would have to choose, it would be the mini dressing table in the bathroom, which totally stole my heart. It is really stunning how sometimes just...

+ Missoni by Kenneth Anger +

Missoni joins this new wave of motion presentations* and shows its latest Autumn/Winter 10/11 campaign with a video by Kenneth Anger, an octogenarian filmmaker whose liking for esoteric universe and dark practices is clearly shown in his work. Missoni’s video, very subconcious and oneiric kaleidoscope-effect like, couldn’t be different. ——— Missoni se apunta al tema del...

+ Nils Dunkel S/S 11 +

So, I told you, this was the craziest presentation ever. Nils Dunkel showed his Spring/Summer 11 collection in the Black Box Theater in Berlin during the last Fashion Week in the city and after locking us all in a dark room and throwing some smoke, himself and his friends-turned-models started dancing to the rhythm...

+ Goutte d’eau sur pierres brûlantes +

Totally in love with the latest editorial of Viviane Sassen for Numéro#115. Some rocks, some branches and strategic shadows here and there work as the perfect setting for this early autumnal editorial. Love how only the colours in the styling, by Belén Casadevall, seem to break all this fake grey scale feeling in the...

+ R. Schneider — Wien-Berlin-Paris +

L’enfer, Henri-Georges Clouzot You know, just like between us, I will confess that sometimes, when I was young and naïve, I wanted to be Sissi. Ok, some other times I also wanted to be Jem (the one of the Holograms, of course) or even Skipper, Barbie’s little sister (And why not Barbie? That is something...

+ Markus Lupfer — Resort at Soho House +

Sporty, yet femenine and sophisticated, was the feeling all over the new Markus Lupfer’s Resort collection shown last Berlin Fashion Week in Soho House. Black and white, navy and pale pink: there’s no chance to be wrong with these. Knitted stripes and message T-shirts with sequins or foil prints, sweatshirts with bead applications, melange...

Self Machine is the new single coming out of The Constant, I Blame Coco’s first new album from which also came out Caesar last February. In a kind of subjective confession, I will point that I like this song less than I did the previous one, but the video shows such beautiful images, talking...

While I was preparing the previous entry, I remembered that the show schedule for the next Cibeles Madrid Fashion Week in September had just been presented last week and that everybody was half shocked-half sad when it was said that, against all odds, El Delgado Buil were not included in it. Some days after...

+ Berlin Fashion Week — Day#3 +

Patrick Mohr showed his collection on the third day shocking everybody with the models’ styling which included some latex bald-like caps and fake beards, for boys and girls. In despite of its effectiveness, it was a shame that the hair & make issue caught in excess everybody’s attention, instead of doing so the collection...
