COMME DES GARÇONS. PARIS FW 2012

It does not sound as something new that COMME DES GARÇONS Collection 

generates astonishment, 

as the creative director of the brand Rei Kawakubo 

manages to shock the public runway after runway.

However, for the FW Collection presented at the Paris Fashion Week on the 3rd of March, 

Kawakubo has given a new shape to her women.

and this is all about "tri-dimensionality". 

 

Every coat, dress and trouser shows its best in the three dimensions, 

giving models a structured shape and gentle appeal at the same time. 

The most representative side of the show was the combination of colours of the coats, 

such as the yellow and orange one

and the mix of different patterns - camo, leopard, florals and polka dots. 

As if it was a fancy dressing party

(not only for the choice of using red, yellow and shocking pink wigs); 

it seems in fact that Kawakubo's women this season want 

to be in the middle of the stage and surprise people around them.

BROTHEL CREEPERS: WHERE TO FIND THEM.

If you are a fan of Brothel Creepers and don't know where to find them, I know two websites where you can easily buy them online. 

Se sei anche tu un fan delle scarpe Brothel Creepers e non sai dove trovarle, conosco due siti dove puoi comprarle online in modo facile.




Underground London 
very good quality. 
fast delivery. 
price is ok, delivery costs outside England a bit too expensive though (around £20).

Underground London is a very good brand, it offers a wide variety of creepers shoes: Round Toe, Pointed Toe, Single-Double and even Triple Sole Creepers! 
I bought a pair of Underground London creepers some months ago, and I can say the quality is super good. 

qualità molto buona. 

spedizione veloce. 

il prezzo non è male, però il costo della spedizione fuori dall' Inghilterra è un po' alto (circa 20 sterline).

Underground London è una buonissima marca, offre un' ampia varietà di modelli: a punta tonda e squadrata, con suola singola doppia e addirittura tripla!

Ne ho comprato un paio un po' di mesi fa e posso dire che la qualità è ottima.  

 

TUK Shoes
cheap. and there are special offers, quite often.
quality is ok. 
delivery costs ok. 


TUK is a good brand, especially because of the wider variety of shoes it offers compared to Underground London. 
There are special patterns and shoes for kids. However the quality and the materials used are not good enough from my point of view. But if you look at the price there a big difference! you choose. 

economiche. e ci sono spesso offerte speciali. 
la qualità non è male. 
i costi di spedizione sono buoni. 

TUK è una buona marca, specialmente per la più ampia varietà di modelli che offre rispetto ad Underground London. 
Ci sono anche scarpe con fantasie particolari e modelli per bambini. La qualità e i materiali usati non sono abbastanza buoni, dal mio punto di vista.Ma se dai un occhio ai prezzi noterai la differenza! Sei tu a scegliere. 

ENJOY!!

THE SHOP TO HIT @PADOVA PART TWO.

THE SHOP TO HIT

Ego les femmes 
Padova - Italy 

I was driving my way home from Padova yesterday afternoon when something came into my mind. Why not visiting my frind Stefano and see the collection in store? That was definitely a good idea!

Stavo tornando a casa da Padova ieri pomeriggio quando mi è venuto in mente questo. Perchè non passsare a trovare il mio amico Stefano e vedere la collezione nel suo negozio? Buona idea!

Ego le femmes was born almost two years ago in San Martino di Lupari, not too far from Padova, when Stefano decided the shop he already had was too commercial. So he created a new concept store, Ego le femmes where the selection of brands, the furnishings and all the little details is led by the wish of recreate a French Couture atmosphere. And he delivered; in a very good way. 

Ego le femmes è nato circa due anni fa a San Martino di Lupari, non lontano dalla città di Padova, quando Stefano ha deciso che il negozio che già aveva era troppo commerciale. Quindi ha creato un nuovo concept store dove la selezione dei marchi, gli arredamenti e tutti i dettagli è guidata dal desiderio di ricreare un' atmosfera di couture francese. E ci è riuscito, molto bene. 

This is mainly the reason why I decided to choose this shop and post it into my blog, 'cause I reckon sometimes names of big and notorios designers can be replaced or joined by emerging brands, found through fashion researches, strong confidence and a very refined taste.

Questo è il motivo per cui ho deciso di scegliere questo negozio e di includerlo nel mio blog, perchè credo che a volte i nomi di noti grandi stilisti possano essere sostituiti o affiancati da altri brand emergenti, trovati attraverso ricerche di moda, forte conoscenza del campo e un gusto raffinato.

Prada heels.

Everyone knows that women go crazy for high heels, whatever the shape and the high is; from boots to sandals, from men-styled and classic shoes to the most fashionable ones, there's a big range of choice that varies according to everyone's needs and taste.

For the Fall-Winter there's one specific designer who has launched a new shape of heel that will definitely become a new must have; and who else could it be but Miuccia Prada?This designer together with the brand has been during the history of fashion probably one of the most prominent and effortless, being able to catch the worldwide attention of media for its avant-garde style.  

The heels on issues surely open a window to a new world. 

Tired of stiletto heels and sharp lines, women today look for more gentle and sinuous shapes, not only for the shoe itself, but also for the look of the heel that has, together with the color and the tip of the shoe, a relevant importance. 

Prada has managed to give her personal view. And it works. 

printed fabrics are back.

D&G (FW2011-12)

What we have been experiencing on the last runway shows is that printed fabrics are slowly coming back from the coffin they have been buried in for a couple of years.

It is evident that last trends have led us to a world of simple lines and full colors, where every look was created for the necessity of being sober.
However, since fashion is a continuous looking back to past and past trends, what we face today in the runways is a work on the fabrics themselves that from being plane clear and simple, are now turning into a flow of colors, letters and graphics.
This is just one of the thousand shades of the rainbow of last trends, but perhaps one of the most remarkable, that will probably and definitely put an end to that world of easiness and soberness we were used to.
