Video Paradise


I've been utterly obsessed with her work yet again and I adore her room- everything in their despite the meticulous arrangement on shelves and layered appeal of her knick-knacks if devoid of dust and there's also the few designer pieces in her wardrobe. I really admire the kind of person she's developed into and that she's not some egocentric snot-nosed teenager; I'm always proud when children are raised properly by their parents.

I'm really keen to throw my room into a massive garbage disposal unit and start again; I wish my room was a place of rest and rejuvenation and a sanctuary from the influence of the outside world. I didn't properly have the cute teenage girl phase and instead just tend to leave things lying about the place with the slogan of "I'll come back to it later". The coming back to things later results in a lot of dust, wrinkled clothing and general disdain for my room. I wish it was a little more nice and inviting, especially for press. Or just a wonderland of costumes and green fields with magic wielding powers.


Lisa Mitchell is a little known Australian artist with the softest voice you've ever heard- I love the appeal of purity and innocence about her as well as the killer rings she has in this video clip. The theme is that I'm much too disinterested with my biology homework and revision of university lectures and would rather pack up and leave to anywhere else- unicorns and rainbows aren't essential but are preferred.

Runway Report: Paris Fashion Week Spring 2012--Chanel


Karl "Prospero" and his Underwater Runway Extravaganza:


Chanel Spring/Summer 2012

Two days ago, Karl Lagerfeld showed his beautiful Chanel Spring/Summer 2012 Collection during Paris Fashion Week. He transformed the Grand Palais--the site of all his runway shows, into a magical underwater world. Just wait until you see the beginning of the video below. The stage is INSANE! All I kept thinking about was "Wow, look what perfumes and purses can buy you!". The collection, which consisted of over 8o looks (!), was a success, according to all who were there. He began with modern interpretations of the Chanel suit, in soft tweeds, boucle's, in white, cremes, light lemons, pastel-y pinks, turquoise and black.

Chanel Spring/Summer 2012

Lots of Spring-like prints, chiffon's, fluttery ruffle dresses and blouses. Shoes were either sandals or flat booties in leather and metallics. NO heels in sight. He also showed some fabulous swimsuits toward the end which you can see in the runway video. They looked like "Sports Illustrated Mermaids" rising from the sea!

Chanel Spring/Summer 2012

For evening, it was relaxed, yet very LUXE glamour, with printed silk dresses, lots hitting "tea"-length with sequin embellishments. Stiffer silk gazar's, organza's, and/or iridescent satins added lots of texture and an architectural element. Lots of shoulder interest--which remains a strong trend.

Also, look for the "Voluminous Sheath" where it's fitted up top but then softly leads into interesting shapes from the high-waist down. All in all--at least from seeing the photos and the video--a beautiful, modern collection. Bravo Karl and his team! You'll probably see ten out of the 80+ looks in the stores come next Spring , but who cares, the show was glorious! Speaking of the show--did I mention Florence Welch of Florence and The Machine performed. Yep. Again, what perfumes and purses can buy you darlings!

53rd Annual Grammy Awards: Who Wore What? Florence Welch in Givenchy Haute Couture Spring 2011


Florence Welch of Florence and the Machine in Givenchy Couture Spring 2011, 53rd Annual Grammy Awards Red Carpet

I LOVE Florence Welch of Florence and the Machine--Love Love Love!! And I love her even more for choosing this Givenchy Haute Couture Spring 2011 gown by Designer Riccardo Tisci for the 2011 Grammy Awards.

The gown is from Tisci's "Japanese Robot" Collection which he recently unveiled during Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week and features incredible "Winged" applique over silk organza, fabulous Swan designs in the front and a "Shocking Orange" back detail. She, of course, knew to turn around and let the photographers get some shots of that amazing back detail. Smart girl!
