The Quality Magazine

Vogue 2008 march issue, very inspiring!HIGH- DEFINITION the editorial,; the cast of models, the scene and specially the edition of the clothes, everything was truly good. I haev to say, I really admire Anna Wintour, sheis hard, but in every month, she and the Vogue magazine contributors make really good fashion editorials, there is always something interesting. It sounds quite stupid, but Vogue Paris is oscilating in its quality, the april issue with Kate Moss on the cover was Just about the rumors about the Hedi Slimane photoshoot. The Darai Werbowy editorial looked like an interpretation of the Balmain campaign and the Moss photographs are nothing beyond than good, the + 1 were the Sliame and nature theme editorials.
Today I was asking myself why does not Vogue U.K have so much Power as Vogue U.S.A, Vogue Paris and Vogue Itália?
I mean the issues are alwas good and quite exotic, but they don´t choose AA way to GO, inspiring as Vogue Itália or commercial as Vogue U.S.A ( I am talking about the covers).

Back in the Vogue U.S.A, Iwas looking at the april issue and Raquel & Carol did good spring editorials, prepare to be blinded by flowers, la vien en flower?!?

Last Words, Harper´s Bazaar, Glenda dissapoints the fashion world, she tries to hard to be glamorous; in a recent interview abou the spring summer 2008 Miu Miu collection, she said she didn´t know how she would wear the mini skirts wich were on the runway and after her Franca Sozanni said the important in not how to wear it, but the meaning of the clothes, the artisy appeal, the codes of the collection.

Different opinions, different publication, "different" qualities...

Same sounds....

Fashion people!!! Has anyone noticed the soundtrack of Versace and Chanel, the music is the same on the opening of the show!Interesting how this think happened a week later on Chanel , the mood was good for Versace totally intellectual sexy, but for Chanel maybe they should be more inspired from Jil Sander´s soundtrack, classic- electric, if u know what I mean?….

Roberto Cavalli! Emilio Pucci

I know maybe Cavalli does not do the best ad campaigns and fashion shows on earth, but for a few seasons I’ve been thinking how great is his cast for the campaigns:
For this season he is really inspired…
On Roberto Cavalli the models are: Daria Webowy, Eva Herzigova and Kate Moss!!!
Just Cavalli, Lara Stone and Angela Lindvall by Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott. (Interesting to see a more sensual Stone than rocker, if you know what I mean…)
And this trend about covering the model’s face was seen on Just Cavalli´s ads for a few seasons ago, the hair of the models covered her. It was quite exotic when I saw this for the first time, sorry for not having the photos here.
And on last fall winter collection of Roberto Cavalli, a week before Balenciaga, he showed the joghpur pants on the runway and no one gave him credit for that trend, were people blinded on that show?!?
C’mon he puts one of the best models alive on his campaigns together, buy the way every season.That is a luxury!

In the other hand, I thought Emilio Pucci´s campaign with the collaboration by Teller was not the best choice for the bran , his work is more alternative for this vivacious brand I connect him with YSL and Marc Jacobs, they chose go for Mari Testino the colors of the clothes would be highlighted as he does. But if they don’t fire Mathew Wiliasson the bran d will not go forward, it’s cruel but I think that his work is not respectful for this brand, it has such a powerful history and his design does not match with that.

Vogue Nippon April 2008

...featuring Daria Werbowy.

Yes that what you read, Vogue Nippon (JAPONESE) April 2008, a little bit fast, don’t you think so? Was this “G supposed to appear on the cover? If it was intentional it is really annoying.Japanese Vogue always put great top models on the cover, last issue was Angela Lindvall, Sasha Pivovarova… and another new top girls.
Why all the covers from this magazine the scenario is always on studio and white, has anyone noticed that? By the way this is a Gucci dress from Spring Summer 2008, talking about Gucci his last fashion show was a break point for me to understand what Frida is doing, I mean she is not a very good designer and her clothes so far didn’t shocked impressed or superadded the expectations, but she has a good view and at least we have to say, the clothes are well done.

Jil Sander

I really love Raf Simons. As a man I think that he is pushing forward men’s fashion and even woman, the tweed work was so unique and very different and not so classic. For you to understand what I am saying, what is the first brand you think when the world Tweed comes out?

Chanel, of course.

I still think that the brand need to invest on accessories (like shoes or purses), as Prada, Jil Sander has to make the accessories go forward as the clothes does.

Prada Outrageous!

Prada fashion show was without words to describe how forward it was: in make up clothes accessories shoes and even models (a black model didn’t appear on Prada since 97, so disappointing to write that).But some people haven’t seen this photo yet:

It is really shocking and reminds me of an old Saint Laurent fashion show where the transparency let’s say politely was in the same area.

The Missed Givenchy Spring 2008 CAMPAING

Hey fashion people; has anyone missed the Givenchy ad campaign?
So did I, but why people are deserting Givenchy?

The campaign is almost great. Models: MariaCarla Boscono (fabolously back )and Lara Stone are rocking on it.It is really good to see the contrast between the clothes and the historical building behind the girls. So much better than Balenciaga, Chanel, Burberry…

Diane Von Furstenberg Spring Summer Campaign

I really like the come back of DVF on advertisement, I think it looks very original, the photo screams mix things up and Vodianova is always great.

With Love from Brazil

' Lovefoxxx from the indie band "CANSEI DE SE SEXY" (kind of - tired of being sexy)on the cover of Dazed & Confused march 2008. Amazing!

The color!

The new color. Isn’t this gorgeous! I know some of the clothes of Donna Karan shouldn’t have gotten out of home or ever better the bed room but row rich this his color is.

NEXT...

Aline W. is the next Barzilian face .

The next look: Francisco Costa for Calvin Klein Fall/Winter 2008/2009

" Strike a pose"

".... let you body move to the music"

... Harper´s Bazaar U.K March

Why I hate fashion?!?

July 2006/ March 2008 Harper´s Bazaar

Lindsay Lohan appeared again on Harper´s Bazaar, if anyone knows please answer me, does this magazine know the world model?
Poor Gina, I ask myself why does she think only celebrities can sell a magazine…

Vogue Italia proves that is wrong but that is another story

Why I love fashion?!?

March I-D

What Bryant Park didn’t see: the Brazilian runway of the Herchcovitch fashion show. Amazing! Hey Style.com, I think that you should have sad something about the genius shoes on the runway. Common!

The face: Raquel Zimmerman, she is wonderfully chic. By the way, on February there was Donaldson with Trentini on the cover and what a sexy cover.

P.S: isn’t the I-d covers getting better and better…

The Brazilian Party

The colors the people the holiday, everything is so beautiful and inspiring on Carnaval…
Good Carnaval for everyone in anywhere…
Enjoy it!

February British Vogue & Stella McCartney Summer 2008

I love Amber Valetta, I’m not a huge fan of the Stella’s ads, but it has a lot of style, this two photos on one it is really cool and original, I have to say, that is totally Stella McCartney

This photo has a strong image, darkness and kind of melancholic... mystery British Vogue.

SEXY PARFUM!

Isn’t interesting the necessity for sexiness in a parfums campaign?
Ricardo Tisci seems that had to adapt his gothic rock fashion to a more sexy one for the ads of Ange ou Demon, and even designers like Giorgio Armani knows that the clients they look for is bigger than the other who buys the prêt-a porter lines. Just remembering, the accessories correspond the biggest perceptual part of a brand, it is from there the houses can do the amazing shows and some of them participate of the Haute Couture.

for order:
Givenchy, Ange ou Demon
Giorgio Armani, Armani Code
Dior, Dior Addict
Chanel, N5
Dolce & Gabbana, Dolce & Gabbana

Party for 2!!!

This is an old campaign from Hérmes, it is pretty amazing how this lighting and this scarf pass the e the legendary history of this brand. Amazing!!!

Coming soon the new ad of Hermes, it looks charming with two big elephants painted nails and eyes, really different from all I have seen, but the Peta guys maybe not like this art-animal.

This is awesome, for me one of the best world Vogue covers ever!!! Spertacular!!!

Natalia Vodianova and Daria Werbowy will come to Brazil for Carnaval, especially for the first one who is saying goodbye to the catwalks, just for U$500,000 people will see the Russian modeling on the runways again… Powerful Vodianova!!!

RED ALARM!!!

The end of an era. I wonder myself if the red will still be the same…

February Brazilian Vogue & March Japanese Vogue

I have to say, the February Vogue Brazil looks amazing, and there is such a strong movement on this photography.Caroline Trentini proves why she is one of one the favorites of Anna Wintour.

After seeing the Prada fashion show, I wondered how the magazines would turn this strong image into something commercial…
On Angela Lindvall looks more softy and there is a clear image with less make up, it is kind of wearable for girls, It is funny how the different interpretations can change a view of a clothe.

Fashion No Forward Rio

Foi inútil a esperança. Quase todos os desfiles do Fashion Rio seguiram a mesa tendência a mesma proporção e o mesmo tema. Os anos setenta sem nenhum pensamento, pelo menos é o que eu parece, ficaram em roupas datadas, ou melhor pareciam que tinham saído de um brechó. Muitos macacões e ainda, ainda comprimentos mini. Tessuti abre o seu desfile com um vestido até no joelho um e bolero-cardiga encantador em Bruna Tenório, mas alem dos longos em pink, preto e azul apresentados no final do desfile, a coleção foi uma mera interpretação do que esta acontecendo no verão europeu. Colcci não sei como agradou os convidados, nada novo, com os shapes sem graças como sempre, talvez seja a presença de Gisele que escondeu o boring da coleção. Santa Ephigênia, os vestidos meio Dior e um pouco desproporcionais pelo exagero, foram sim um show com a encantadora trilha sonora, a estampa em enormes flores e os vestidos longos foram uma nostalgia à marca, The show must go on...
Redley também foi feliz em sua coleção com forte apelo militar e para o masculino, que pelo mesmo nesta marca deixa de ser o “primo pobre”, e muito grafismo em suas roupas, um forward surfwear. Alessa não deixa a sua identidade por nada, mesmo com vestidos um pouco sem graça, o apelo divertido da coleção reforça a sua mulher camaleão.Os novos talentos, nada de novo, apenas Yamamoto que apresentou um desfile muito interessante, apesar de shapes curtos, vestidos bem confeccionados e interessantes com cores escuras e cortes inteligentes.
Fashion Rio não ofereceu nada de novo, nenhum novo tecido e com coleções cada vez mais voltadas para o publico jovem que parece ser sinônimo de loucura e no thought fashion, anyway ainda guardamos um pouco da nossa esperança para maior evento da América Latina...

Fashion Forward Rio

Fashion Rio starts today with the hyper top model Gisele Bundchen tonight on the Colcci fashion show. Colcci has never been a good brand, the shows are always confused, big clothes and strange colors and shapes seem to come from nowhere, just Gisele can make this show be worth to watch. Fashion Rio is not a good event as SPFW, the music on the lounges are a problem as the necessity for celebrities to be in the shows (line A). Sincerely, I expect to see the young designers doing intelligent clothes for the tropical winter, we are enough of useless winter clothes, and we want to see more fashion, this fashion week produces a lot of commercial clothes that shouts “just for sell” , and another designers just lose their mind…

Hopefully we wait how is going to be the fall/winter 2008 Fashion Rio, kipped on our faith to see clothes with the Brazilian identity.
