What is particular about clothing at all at Spring Festival

Spring Festival has been past for a long time, but the clothing is in hot discussion at Spring Festival. Dong Qing's blue pants, Rong zuer's printed retro clothing, and Zhao Benshan's tunic for a decade, they all atract people's interest. Which kind of clothes did we need to wear? Who knows the secret?

Art nouveau

I picked up this lovely vintage dress a little while ago from Split Pea Vintage, and have been waiting for the cooler weather to set in, before road testing.

The print is so detailed, and the high collar is the perfect addition. I can already tell this is going to be one of my winter favourites.

Tonight, I'm off to the final runway show for Melbourne's Fashion Festival. Be sure to follow me on twitter for all the updates as they happen.

I'm wearing:
Vintage dress, via Split Pea Vintage
Hat, Sportsgirl
Wedges, Rubi shoes

Nature Breeze

Sunday Morning ...
I love seeing the natural beauty in the morning. Green grass, weeds, blue sky with white clouds, birds flying, and the sun had just risen.

Today I did a photoshoot in the midst of natural beauty. Very exciting and fun. I wear thrifted nude blazer (I love this color), printed white tee, rolled-up pants and one of my favorite shoes " Marc " by Robinet Wonders with a unique design because there are fringe with brown color. And also nerd glasses as an accessory. Also don't miss a small sling bag that I got from 16DS (a local brand). Actually the bag instead of plastic bags when I buy products from them.
Have a great weekend ...

Davidelfín Autumn/Winter 2011 “Diogenes Syndrome”

The Diogenes syndrome, which can also be called senile squalor syndrome, was noted in 1966 as a disorder that is characterized by self-neglect, anti-social behavior, hoarding, and other such compulsions

The disorder derived its name from the ancient Greek philosopher Diogenes of Sinope (modern-day Turkey)—a Cynic and minimalist.

Diogenes was bold character, who never feared going against the grain or attacking corruption.

He finally moved to the big metropolis of Athens to defy the city-state system, advocating the return to the simplicity of nature.

His name has since resurfaced throughout the millennia in literature, art, and now fashion!

Davidelfín Spring/Summer 2011 “Tautology”

David Elfín entered the world of fashion through painting, which permeates every collection.

When the label was created in 2001 by Bimba Bosé; Deborah, Gorka, and Diego Postigo; and David Elfín, the team based it on the media of photography, architecture, and video as they seek to heighten the emotions of their audience.

For spring/summer 2011, Davidelfin has prepared a collection entitled “Tautology.”

The Free Online Dictionary defines ‘tautology’ as:

1.
a. Needless repetition of the same sense in different words; redundancy.
b. An instance of such repetition.
2. Logic An empty or vacuous statement composed of simpler statements in a fashion that makes it logically true whether the simpler statements are factually true or false; for example, the statement Either it will rain tomorrow or it will not rain tomorrow.

Have a look at the collection here.

Roberto Verino—the Picasso of Spanish Fashion

(Manuel) Roberto Verino was born 1945 in Verín, Ourense, Spain, and began showing his collections at Madrid’s Cibeles just two years after having studied Fine Arts and Business in Paris.

Now nearly 30 years later, Roberto has received awards like best designer of Spain and has launched a line of eyewear, as well as fragrances, watches, ceramics, and wines.

Simple and sophisticated, Roberto Verino designs are infused with romance and culture.

Noteworthy is Verino’s guiding principle in life—the words of Picasso: “Inspiration is very important but it should find you hard at work when it arrives.”

Check out the autumn/winter 2011 collection here.

Devota & Lomba at Cibeles Madrid

Devota and Modesto Lomba are not new to the fashion scene but rather launched their career in 1986, going on to win numerous awards.

After the death of Luis Devota, Modesto carried the baton entering into men’s under garments and swimwear.

Devota and Lomba can be characterized by architecture, deconstruction, and a dark palette with dashes of color that highlight detail.

ANNTIAN Autumn/Winter 2011 “Crystal Inside”

“Crystal Inside” carries away from cold, icy winter days outside with crystal clear air and gives in the longing for coziness and comfort -for being inside.

The Interior of one’s home is in focus now—there are all these things that make you feel at home and comfortable that allows you to contemplate.

Objects you’ve come across over the years and that happened to be beloved ones. Things of no real value, just full of “meaning”, thoughts and memories of your own... Pillows, books, rugs and blankets, plants, stoles, tea & pastries...

On this basis graphic elements of the collection are inspired by ornaments, patterns of rugs, crystals, geometric arrangements to be found in “still lifes”.

Colors are earthy, brown tones, black and white, plus strong highlights like red and pale neon green, accompanied by a fresh pale blue.

Patterns are based on the approach of “involving” blankets and scarves in garments and silhouettes - patterns developed out of “wrapped” blankets.

The composition: series of wool coats, jackets and trousers…some printed jerseys, and an ensemble of knit, being important in the line.

Alongside the clothing line the collection includes pillows, blankets, rugs, printed porcelain dishes & tea sets, plus the crystal-porcelain jewelry line and the winter boot.

See the whole collection here.

Courteney Cox Relax for Swim in the Pool in Hawaii

It's a hard life being an internationally famous actress.

Just ask poor old Courteney Cox who not only had to work on the idyllic island of Hawaii but then had the misfortune of being able to relax in the sun between scenes. And even when filming was over, she couldn't resist one final dip in the pool before heading back to Los Angeles.

Cox, 46, was snapped enjoying her final day on the island relaxing by the pool with her six-year-old daughter Coco yesterday. The pair swam and larked about together as they cooled off from the hot Hawaiian sun in the water. (source : www.dailymail.co.uk)

Courteney Bass Cox (born June 15, 1964) is an American actress, who first achieved fame for her role as Monica Geller on the NBC sitcom Friends.
