Versus fashion show in Milan. I was there!



Unfortunately, we almost reached the end of this winter fashion week! I still have to examine many shows and talking about here, but I pause for a moment to show you something else ! Yesterday I went to Versus fashion show in Piazza Vetra in Milan! Arrived on the place, I immediately looked around, seeing girls and boys dressed in a really extravagant and eccentric way, though it was a gray and cold day! Once inside I arrived (with a friend who was with me) in a small and round hall and in front of us there was a huge word "VERSUS" and the whole room was illuminated with blue lights that created a very particular effect! Same effect which is repeated later entering the location itself, a room crowded with resin semi-reflective mirrors that created an almost spatial effect due to metallic color and soft lighting!
Then the fashion show started! I liked almost all items, they were mostly knee dresses, but there were also outfit with pants, coats and pullover matched with skirts. Black was the predominant color, paired mainly to blue and purple. Most used fantasy is that of triangles, mini or maxi, all with glitter colors that I said above! While models was marching, they left behind them a trail of glitter! There were also veiled and transparent insert in dresses. The models were all combed in the same way with a high and very narrow tail. Shoes were always matched to clothes and so even those were principally black with heels or plateau matched to the color of the dress.

Botanical Love - Florals for Spring and Winter

This season's most covetable style - florals. Top designers like Stella McCartney, Erdem and Christian Dior featured floral prints in their Spring Summer 2011 Collection and an array of lovely flowers are already in their full bloom with pretty women adorning the florals.

Dressing up or dressing down, floral prints are big news for spring and fashionable women across the globe are sporting this season's hottest look.

This year even the winter will bloom with the floral prints. So don't shy away from loosening your wallets to pick the florals as they'll be equally hot for the winter wardrobe.

.


How to wear florals?
.
From full length gowns to cute smocks - everyone can wear this trend for every occassion. You can go chic and minimalistic (like Kristen Bell in Stella McCartney) or cute and quaint (like Natasha Poonawalla).

- If you don't want a very feminine look, try a floral print in darker colours (Peter Som runway collection above) instead of choosing dainty pastel florals.

- For a more casual look pair it with opaque tights in blacks or greys (this floral look can be worn even in winters).

- For evenings make it dressy with sophisticated feminine accessories.
.
Which is the right floral print for you?

The right floral print for you would be in proportion to your body. If you're petite then big floral prints are a complete no-no for you. If you're tall and slender, you can wear all kinds of floral prints - bold, smaller, discreet, they all would look great on you. Bigger women should also avoid bold and big floral prints and pick smaller prints to slim you down.
.
Wearing Florals in winters
.
Reign your winter wardrobe with florals - layer summer floral dress with a smart jacket or a cardigan to cover from the chill and team it with heeled boots for extra protection.
.
Darker coloured floral dress work great for the winters - team it with bright fun coloured accessories for summers and chic somber colours for winters. Light on the wallet and still fashionable.

Give your floral dress an edgier look by pairing it with a tough accessories and military jackets.
.
Make a statement with floral accessories
Floral print accessories are a great way to wear the floral trend. Floral scarves or floral print bags will brighten up your look without looking over the top, and the best part is it will make a very smooth transition from your summer to winter ensemble without thinking much on how to wear the look.

yang mungkin akan di pakai nantinya:




Warna pastel yang sempat jadi primadona pada 2010 akan berganti lebih cerah. Pada trend 2011 semarak warna neon seperti bright pink, oranye dan hijau akan mendominasi tren fashion.
Permainan tekstur pun masih akan mendominasi tahun depan dengan dominasi material kulit. Jaket biker dan rok mini dari kulit akan menjadi tren, padu padan busana motf bunga dan mini dress cantik pun masih akan semarak sampai pertengahan tahun.
Prediksi ini ‘diintip’ dari kerja keras para desainer yang masih asik memainkan tekstur, semua terlihat di runway London Fashion Week, Paris Fashion Week dan Milan Fashion Week. Sutera chiffon lembut dipadukan dengan aksen bulu, kulit dipadukan dengan satin.
Busana-busana berpotongan struktural juga salah satu tren yang perlu dilirik. Potongan kaku dan tegas sesuai untuk semua bentuk tubuh, mulai dari curvy, ramping hingga kurus.

extra virgin: the first time

i was still living in the west village when extra virgin opened, but never made it there before packing up and away to the LES and murray hill, and it simply fell off my radar until this weekend when my friend zovig suggested it for brunch. i welcomed her idea in part because i was just so happy that it still lived there. the notion of a basque scramble (pepperonata, creamy polenta, salsa verde, avocado puree, and...chorizo), a smoked salmon and potato tart, or roasted artichoke provençal, cinched the deal.

we were lucky, at 12:30 to snag a window table for two, a high counter, right about the heater (set to HIGH) to warm our toes. the whole scene, overlooking west 4th street and its parade of strollers (with strollers?) was a nice comfort, a way to soothe the readjustment back to WINTER, after a sunny, tease of spring the day before.

(it was also a good opportunity to quick test the 100mm...lots of natural light...)

i opted for the roasted artichoke...
this is maybe a bit too close to appreciate the dish, but i love that you can see the grain of the cheese and the delicacy of the poached egg white...

i love the graceful neck of the artichoke. and the contralto to this heavenly chorus: nice smoky bites of pancetta.

there was one thing missing for me: a few slices of hearty peasant bread to soak up the medley of yolk and cheese bits and dressing (presumably made of extra virgin olive oil). shouldn’t good bread be compuslory at an establishment that purports to offer choice olive oils?

maybe the olive oil was so dipping delicious the night before that there was none left over?

(maybe i get lucky next time.)

i think i'm in love (spoon me)

sorry for the eddie money reference, but i'm testing the canon 100mm 2.8 macro lens this weekend.

i think it's a keeper.

spoons and a spill, not high art. but i love the effect here.

KEEP AN EYE ON... STEFAN GBURECK

When I look around me, I can appreciate how lucky I am to have friends so interesting and creative.
Today we speak of a photographer friend and artist who has just concluded three projects of the most original.

-STEFAN GBURECK-

Stefan is a mysterious character with an incredible ability to create.
A simple vision with the least material, enables him to invent crazy concept, which once completed and immortalized on glossy paper gives you the impression of having traveled with him.

It is with the theme of hitch-hiking that Stefan has decided to make us go on the road

"MERCEDES-BENZ ONLY"

Last December the artist and photographer had the crazy idea to travel by hitchhiking from Berlin to Barcelona. So far nothing shocking, but not with Stefan. To travel by hitchhiking yes .... But only with Mercedes-Benz!

The complete photobook on : http://www.tramp-a-benz.com/
































"HITCHHIKE WITH MY FRIDGE"

The German artist Stefan Gbureck traveled his country as a hitchhiker and his pink fridge. The opportunity for a nice photo essay published on the website of
German newspaper Die Zeit.
The complete photobook on:  www.zeit.de














"NEW-BALANCE IN LAS-VEGAS"

Stefan made a trip to Las Vegas and created awesome photo series showcasing the New Balance Pro Series which is now available at selected retailers.

ABOUT STEFAN:written by Rachele Australian Singer-Songwriter

Stefan Gbureck is a Berlin based photographer.
He was born in Saxonia, former GDR. At the time the wall fell, he moved with his family to a town in West Germany close to Cologne.
With his camera in the hand and accompanied by his disarming charm, he has arrived at the pulse. Humorous, successful or tragic performances, certainly everything that is spectacular to the eye, stimulates his creativity. When possible he will take a hand in directing it, keeping contact to the centre point. Fascinating is his ability to focus on the right moment in the scene and to portray the genuine feelings of the people within. It is almost as if he lives it personally. You never now when but he is out there to catch you!!
