RIP, Alexander McQueen, a true genius.

I'm just chocked over tha fact that he is gone. One of this time most creative and magical designers and interesting men is gone. I'll admire him 'til I'm gone myself. I truly love his work - he will live forever as one of the most controversial yet sophisticated, romantic and pessimist, a true genius - he was what we all couldn't be - that's what I saw in his designs and his works.

RIP Alexander McQueen

Forever a true genius.

Midnight velvet...

I want a really nice velvet dress, in a very dark colour, I found one from Mr McQueen (but he never fails to disappoint me, haha) and one from Celine. The one from McQueen is a draped dress with midnightblue velvet and a open back, I adore! Give me now! The Celine dress is very chic and has a elegance to it.

I'd love to put burgundy/silver accessories and letting this one speak for itself, cause it does!

I would probably wear this dress with some touches of colour but letting the dress be here to.

Chanel, Dior; Lagerfeld, Givenchy, Gaultier; darling! Names, names, names!

I have so much to say, yell or shout out so everybody will hear, but I'm quiet, calm and don't really want to, a contradiction in itself. Usually I'd been a mess by now, but I just shake it off like nothing, I don't know why, I'm not numb, I feel, but I'm controlling it, instead of it controlling me. But I'm annoyed, perhaps by myself, I want a reason - a reason I don't have. Give me something beautiful to look at, or maybe something that will make me laugh so much it aches. I know I'll be watching Project Runway tonight, a must for me... So that's exciting, even if I know who wins... As the rest of the world already does. I wish someone would just rise up and become the next new designer, but we can never get a new Vivenne, Gaultier, Galliano or Mugler, they are for me something that has put a mark in history, as Dior, Chanel, Lanvin, Balenciaga (the original designers)...

A ripoff may never be exused from being nothing else than a ripoff.

I just have to show you something that I've discovered these couple of months and it tears my heart apart that I will say this, maybe some of you have noticed that cheaper labels like H&M and Topshop, I might even ad Steve Madden and Asos cause they do it to, is copying other designers stuff just to be a little bit "better?" and make everything avaliable to everyone, no harm in that last one. In times like these, it's highly unlikely that you can't copy something, you always do, but to do sorts of this stuff in this way is not just unfair it's a ripoff, there is just some changes on them, so they don't look excactly the same. I can love it, and hate it. But sometimes I have to admit that they are even.

Look at these shoes and tell me if you don't see the or any recemblance?

This pair is from Kurt Geiger and he is one hell of a guy at making fresh eccentric shoes.

This one is from Steve Madden, and yes I like them, but do they beat the original, no.

Louis Vuitton by Marc Jacobs, they are pure love, can't say anything else.

Topshop, I love these ones, and they are even with the ones they're copied from.

Christian Louboutin for 3.1 Phillip Lim S/S 09, I'd do anything to get these <3>

Topshop Passion, I love these, but they don't beat the others, for me.

I don't know, who wins really?

Ciao!

Galliano, who else?

I just have to share a thing with you, it's a dress... I saw it in an ad on Style and I recognized it immidiatly but I couldn't put my finger on it, cause I just overlooked it when I saw it the first time. Now seeing it again, I'm in love, it's Galliano from head to toe. Who else could it be?

This dress is from the Haute Couture line of 2008 and for now it's one of my favorites.
Dior - love!

Ciao!

Fashion = style?

I just want to remind you of one of the all top ten ladies that will forever live in our stylish hearts. She will never go out of time, she is a legend, she is Coco Chanel and always stylish, this quote says it all, nothing else:

She had an incredible sense for style, she was better than Jackie O.

Ciao!

Think what that money could bring, I'd buy everything, Clean out Vivienne Westwood, In my Galliano gown!

I slept for about a little bit too much today, but it was what I needed, in any other case I wouldn't have slept for that long... I got to bed really late to, for a reason, okey? But I fell asleep with a smile on my face, feeling like I accutally had done something good and the feeling (I really don't recognize it quite yet) was there and I relaxed and just enjoyed the moment. Today since I woke up I've been drained for about the most things I can feel, but on the opposite for what it uses to be - it's been good. It's been exhaustion and that feeling again... But I enjoy it all.


Since yesterday I've been thinking about ideas and that part of my brain haven't gone quiet at all. I think it never will when I'm going upwards, not a real mania now, but being in the state you can be in when you can work but not are needing any sleep or anything less than your inspiration material. I found a Galliano ad and I found so much inspiration from. Love it! I'll just post the picture where you can see the model. I love Galliano (now we're talking about his own label, I love Dior too), maybe I should throw up some my favorite items he's done for the last five years - but not today.

How lovely isn't this?
