I <3 old CK commercials

I <3 Milla

coz she's a super girl

So, I have a s thing for dresses again.

Especially for the long ones.

A long dress is now on top of my "wanted" list. But I don't want that hippy, floral maxi dress, and it's not that I don't like them, I just want something understated (at first), but with a killer detail or just a cool accessory to go with.

I still haven't gotten over the nude phase. I never got enough items to be over it, I suppose. So it continues. My search for "nudity" continues.

Here's my favorite gal! She wears long dresses like no other.

I said it once and I'll say it again:

Ballet & Fashion is a lethal combination that makes time stand still...

And staircase.

And dress.

And color of course.

The Curve of Forgotten Things

Elle Fanning starring in Rodarte's new film that highlights design duo Kate and Laura Mulleavy's spring 2011 collection, which drew inspiration from 1970s northern California, referencing Redwood forests, the gold rush and Asian influences.

The collection seems more serious and perfected than the last one. It really captures the 70s vibe at its best. The Mulleavys are truly courageous when it comes to materials. They always use lots of different ones and "mould" them into a somewhat flawless silhouette. The designs are of course a matter of opinion, but the tailoring seems pretty perfected. They obviously know a great deal about materials they work with, and understand them well.

And here's Rodarte's Haute-Tech Astral Projection 2010: A space Odyssey.

Might be a bit strange.

I'm not the biggest fan of short hair on a woman,

but boy, do some women wear them well!

How 40s! How ladylike!

more florencia kozuch!

Florencia part II...

Textures, materials, embroidery, knitting - delicately soft and fiercely structured with details reminiscent of tribal artifact. The silhouettes look like something from a fairy tale, and I mean that in the best possible way!

Oh it's bold alright! But it's wearable, wonderful & completely thought-through.

Bravo Florencia! You are going places!

An interview form Fault Magazine:

FAULT: How are you feeling about your debut at this season’s London Fashion Week?

Florencia: I’m very exited, if not a little terrified! I cannot think of a better platform to do my catwalk debut. It’s a great opportunity for a young designer and I’m really looking forward to it.

FAULT: Argentinean tribes and rock’n'roll acted as inspiration for your graduate CSM collection. Where have you found inspiration for this season?

Florencia: Well, this season is a mix-mash of all things Argentinean – from crocodiles to sea urchins, gaucho hats, riding trousers and wools from the Patagonia. I’ve been producing my collection in my home city of Buenos Aires, working with local manufactures and traditional products. So I hope you will see a slicker collection but I’m still experimenting with textures and silhouette.

FAULT: Textiles play a vital role in your design aesthetic. What sort of detailing can we expect to see at Fashion Week?

Florencia: This time there will be embroidered sea urchin spikes – some painted and some in their natural colour – masks and necklaces as well as interesting knits. I have used chunky virgin wool for coats and hot pants. There are also some reptile armour-like details in Cayman skin from Formosa.

FAULT: Which is your favourite piece and why?

Florencia: At the moment I am sea urchin obsessed! So I guess it’s the open back black and blue dress with embroidered spikes.

And here are 3 photos of her new pieces I think.
