Chanel to the rescue

That’s how life goes. It gives us sorrows, it gives us shocks, to learn and get better and put things in perspective. I have been getting a bucket load of all of the above and now I feel like I should be on the defense, to look out of what’s coming next.

In the meantime beautiful clothes always make me feel better so what is more appropriate than photos from the recent catwalk of Chanel for spring-summer 2012.

creative kim dan-ah

Dan-ah Kim is a Korean artist who was born in Seoul but has lived around the world from Mexico to both coasts of the U.S.A. She attended Pratt Institute and now lives and works in Brooklyn New York. Kim is drawn to the chaotic and collaborative film environment as well as the isolated experience of an illustrator. She enjoys her illustration work because it gives her the chance to work and explore her creativity individually.

chinoise chic or not...

Looking around the internet today nothing really intrigued me so as to post about it, so I went back to my gigabytes of photos from china and I picked out interesting styles I had been photographing while there.

Charlotte York's Park Avenue apartment

I haven’t posted over set designing in some time now, so it was about time to look into one of the most elegant, classic yet modern, set designing of a series, in my humble opinion. Charlotte York’s apartment. 

On the "Sex and the City" adored series, her apartment was located on New York’s Park Avenue and that’s where it really was in real life, too. Of course, that’s just the exterior, as the interior is unfortunately only a set. I have already mentioned the so talented set designer Cristina Tonkin here, and have found these pictures of the eclectic chic apartment in her site here.

 

botanical crush

I don’t usually post clothes of super famous designers, with super expensive prices but I have a huge crash on this trench coat from the botanical collection made by Stella McCartney.

I w-a-n-t  it! (moaning in a child’s voice), but at $2,045 the dream stays a dream.

gossip girl's sets

This time around I decided to look into the set designing behind the series Gossip Girl. I was lucky enough to find out that the set designer, the very talented Cristina Tonkin has her own site with all of her work and that where I found these great pictures. The space I love more is the humphrey loft in Brooklyn, which is an open plan apartment with a very authentic real life sense to it. 

all styled up by acne

With the NY Mercedes Benz fashion week over, I wanted to present a very creative and unique brand that is said to be among the most promising ones. Here you can enjoy the Spring Summer 2011 Full Fashion Show. Following are my choices from the items now on sale, which you can find here. 

beautifully emersonmade

The so-chic Emerson (that is her actual name, as far as I can tell) is making her Emersonmade clothing line and accessories and whatever else she feels like, in a farm somewhere in the U.S.A. where she moved 2 years ago with her husband and right-hand man (in all matters of life and art as she calls it).
