The Garden of Eden

Her work really impressed me, the structures, details, contrast between light and color using textures to add realism, textures with tiny soft feathers and lazer-cut are gorgeous. The show was beautiful, the models looked pre-Raphaelite, with braided hair and individual strands blowing in the wind like Boticelli’s women, they were draped in fabric, never quite fully covered. But it was perfectly natural; it was the Garden of Eden.
Here my favourite looks!

Here 10 things you need to take into consideration.
1.- Select a quality material as cashmere, alpaca or wool.
2.-Check quality in all finishes, stitching, buttons, hems and closures.
3.-Sleeves should fall just at the wrist or in the middle of the palm. If not, they must adjust.
4.- For people who are not very high, the best are the three quarters or tight coats.
5.-For tall persons, the best are the type trench coats in half leg-lenght or crossed.
7.-Choose as first model a classic design in neutral or conservative tones.
8.-Once you own a basic coat, dare to buy one with the colors of the season: Mustard, dark Green, burgundy or blue.
9.-Measure coats over the clothing on which you plan to use it.
10.-Store your coat in a cool dry place, with special linings and always read the manufacturer's label.
A coat is one of the must have for the season, just choose the one that suits you better and conquer the winter

The history of the Hermés Birkin bag
6:30 AM Prueba 0 Comments
Some Birkin handbags from Hermès in crocodile skin and diamonds can cost up to 70,000 euros.
If you think that is too much do not worry ...you can find the cheapest one for 6,000 euros.
Here is the story of how it was born:
The French maison de couture Hermès has produced the Birkin for 25 years.
In 1984, Jean Louis Dumas (company president), met on a plane from Paris to London the actress Jane Birkin.
Jane was trying to stick her huge straw bag in the plane´s luggage compartmet, but everything fell to the ground.
Jean asked Jane: "why don't you use a normal closed bag?", And Jane responded: " because there are no such large bags to put everything I need: the childrens bottle, a book, a scarf, the phone, a toothbrush, camera, pliers, water bottle, etc..
That is when Jean decided to design a closed bag for Jane Birkin.
That´s how this exclusive and glamorous Birkin bag was born . Jean decided to create limited copies. So if you want to buy a Birkin bag, you will not find it in any Hermés boutique; you must order it and get on the waiting list for at least two years.
You can choose among five types of skins: goat, calf, ostrich, lizard and crocodile. The more exotic, more expensive.
Each bag is handmade by one tanner, who has to work at least for a week to reach the quality standards, these are so high, that only 2% of the skin received, is suitable to use in a Birkin.
Among the fans of this bag are singers, actresses and models, including Katie Holmes, Heidi Klum,
Elle Mcpherson, Alessandra Ambrosio and Madona. But the biggest fan is undoubtedly Victoria Beckham, who owns over 100 Birkin bags.
Each bag comes with a stylish case for storage and a cute golden padlock to close.

Chanel: Paris-Edinbourgh Metiers d'Art Pre-Fall 2012/2013 show
6:00 AM Prueba 1 Comments
This time Métiers d'Arts, is inspired by the years Coco Chanel spent with her lover the Duke of Westminster in Scotland. It also pays homage to the artisans who work in the Maison de couture. Workshop leaders, embroiderers, shoemakers, glovers and hatters.
The brand's iconic tweed together with cashmere, wool and tartan print were the stars of the runway.
My favorite details were the argyle socks, the berets, woven scarves and hats witch gave a chic/urban flair to all the looks.
One of the most important statements the fashions Kaiser did, were the ballon-cut skirts which as he dictated are back for the season !
Here this wonderful show:
