Let me take you on a journey into the very futuristic Louis Vuitton Cruise 2017 collection.
Location : Niterói Contemporary Art Museum, Niterói, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
The Empress of Fashion
Long before Anna Wintor’s reign started, there was one particularly creative and influential woman – Diana Vreeland.
Called the Empress of Fashion, she was fashion editor of Harpers’s Bazaar and Vogue, and special consultant at the Costume Institute at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Probably the first person to turn museum into a nightclub, she was a fearless woman who knew no boundaries.
Fashion and Art, Jean-Aguste-Dominique Ingres
Two social phenomenons, both expressing their time. Two different things that go so well together like coffee and newspaper in the morning. Or tea, whichever you prefer 😉
Fashion and Art. Nothing inspires Fashion more than Art, and Art is the best way to express Fashion. Perfect combination. They have one major thing in common – they both use fabric as their tool.
I decided to write something like this because from very young age, I admire these two subjects, and growing up I realized their link. This is my first post with this title, but I will write more, because they both are endless inspiration to me.

Urban King, Alexander Wang
Who run NY? And the answer is #WANGSQUAD
The oh-so-happy-and-always-smiling Alexander Wang is an influential American designer. Born in San Francisco, at age 19 he moved to New York to attend Parsons University and pursue his fashion dream. In 2005 he launched his own fashion label and in the fall 2007 he presented his first women’s ready-to-wear collection. And guess what? Everybody loved it!
The Dame of Design, Zaha Hadid
“There are 360 degrees, so why stick to one?” – Zaha Hadid
If you live in this century, have Internet access and are just a bit interested about architecture, you must have heard about the great futuristic architect Zaha Hadid.
Dame Zaha Mohammad Hadid was born 31 October 1950. She is the first woman to be awarded with highly prestigious architecture awards, the Pritzker Architecture Prize, Design Museum Design of the Year Award and from 2015 is a proud owner of RIBA Gold Medal. She has designed lots of buildings around the world, and is famous for her neofuturistic style. On the day of her death, I’m here to honor her life and her contribute to fashion.
Their Majesty, The Ripped Jeans
We see them everywhere, on the streets, in the magazines, on the Internet, celebrities wear them, your neighbor has 3-4 pairs, and they are even made for babies and toddlers!
We have to thank Levi Strauss for this major trend. He is the one who invented them, together with Jacob W. Davis in 1871. Originally made for cowboys and miners, jeans found their 5 moments of glory in the 50s and 60s. Teenagers and later the hippie movement made trend of the jeans. They were epitome of liberation, sexual equality and happy days. There are skinny, cigarette, bell-bottom, straight, boyfriend, super-skinny etc.
The enfant terrible – Alexander McQueen
Lee Alexander McQueen was born on this day 47 years ago.
The troubled couturier, born in London developed his love for fashion by making dresses for his sisters. He didn’t like the school so much, and since he declared that he wanted to become fashion designer in his early years, he stared serving apprenticeship. From there he learned the skills for his impeccable craft.
For pearl lovers
Pearls, pearls, pearls… Epitome of elegance, beauty and strength. They enchant us with their shine, color and their symbolic.
A pearl is a hard object produced within the soft tissue (specifically the mantle) of a living shelled mollusc. They come in various shapes such as round, semi-round, oval, button or drop and colors, mostly white, black, pink, champagne and even purple, but to collect enough of other colors except white to form a complete string would take years.
