For his fall winter 2008/2009 collection, Alexander McQueen imagined an impressive show, with glamour jewelries and astonishing outfits.

After a trip to India, the designer worked like a fiend for months in his studio, with images of Queen Victoria, the Duke of Wellington, and the Indian Empire running through his mind.

And it’s a ready to wear collection… simply impressive!

Ok, these are origami shoes. Do you wonder how these shoes can be assembled? Oh well it’s something similar with the instructions you receive when you buy a piece of furniture from Ikea.

The shoes were created by Catherine Meuter and the cost of these shoes is significant reduced. You can’t pass without beeing noticed if you wear these shoes. The shape is geometric and it seems almost architectural.

Would you wear a pair of these shoes?

For the june issue of Interview Magazine, Marc Jacobs attended a very unusual photoshoot. In other words Marc Jacobs appeared on the cover of the magazine wearing fake eyelashes, white make-up, red hair and Louis Vuitton shoes created especially for the designer.

I mean OMG… this is quite a reinterpretation of Andy Warhol’s image. The photo will be printed on t-shirts and bags that will be sold at Marc Jacobs boutique in New York at a price ranged from 15 to 35$.

Brazilian designer Alexandre Herchcovitch and Johnson & Johnson worked together in order to launch a series of fashionable band-aids. The result is a two set Band-Aids, with different prints and images that looks very good on the skin.

Let’s hope not to get hurt, but if it happends now we know the trick. Very chic!

The indian designer Manish Arora managed to make quite an entrance into the fashion world. After a good impresion in London, he surprised also this year in Paris. I love his pop-art inspired clothes and his truly great creativity.

The outfits he presented are “pieces of art”. A dress signed Manish Arora is a piece of collection, that will look amazing in any occasion and it’s worth it.

From the runway straight into your home. Fashion surpasses time and brings it’s charm even in photography. 

Eyeworks Photography is offering high quality and low cost photo sessions that result in unique pieces of personalized art. The portraits can be placed anywhere you want, and even you can be the model.

Marina Dempster was born in Mexico, to British and French parents and is based in Toronto, Canada. She sees her art as contemporary translation of the pre-Columbian Huichol art of “transformational yarn painting”. Preparing a form with a new skin of bees’ wax and pine-resin (traditionally called cera de campeche), which is then meticulously embedded with yarns or beads with the pressure of the fingertips and other improvised tools.

The result is a breath taking shoe, among others, witch can be viewed from two perspectives: a piece of art and an amazing artistic shoe.

The new shoe collection signed Giuseppe Zanotti Design is inspired by rock couture trend. Some marvelous wedges shoes coloured in fuchsia, gold, brown or yellow, and of course very elegant satin high-heels especially created for sofisticated women.

Altought is pretty difficult to walk wearing such high platforms, I guess I could try on a pair to see how it fits on the leg, and keep it in my shoe collection. My choice: violet pair of shoes with gold embelishements.

Yesterday, 2 May, Yves Saint Laurent passed away. It was such a sad day for the entire fashion world. I could barely wrote a news annoucing his death. He did such amazing things for the woman as we see her today. He was one of the kings of the fashion scene. Now he’s gone… too quickly.

I found a Vogue issue dated march 1956, in witch Yves Saint Laurent was spotted the new ‘en vogue’ designer from Paris:

“showing none of the too-pretty, fussy details that one might have expected from a young designer”. His “trapeze like” designs are devoted to the flared, bell shape, with wide hemlines”.

The cover of this issue professes that “green remains one of the most wearable colours”. Full page advertisements (many of which are for lingerie and corsets, emphasising the importance of a clinched waist at this time), dominate the magazine until the contents, which isn’t until page 117.

I also discovered today in Vanity Fair, an amazing pictorial featuring Blake Lively the protagonist of Gossip Girl series.

I find amazing the 33-pound Swarovski-crystal-encrusted satin gown by Dior features 6,000 sequins—handstitched with gold thread. It’s such a great piece of art, more than a dress surpasing the bonds of fashion.
