GAGA's new song premieres on Mugler men's show!!!

Ricky Martin sings about equality!

"The best thing about me is you" is Ricky Martin's new single featuring Joss Stone.

Homeless chic by Dior Homme.

"The time I had some time alone" is the tittle of the latest video created for Dior Homme. It put a new meaning into hobo chic/homeless chic.

Fired up!!!

Spanish label Loewe casted Brazilian model Ana Beatriz Barros to star in a short movie to promote their new Amazona bag. The short was directed by James Lima and it has images of the Amazona bag exploding...literally!

Bryan Boy is in Rio!

I had the opportunity to meet the blogger Bryan Boy in person last year while I was at work. He is very nice, polite and seems like a lot of fun to hang with. At the time he had a layover in Chicago before going to Milan.
I found a picture of him seated front row next to Godfrey Deeny at the Patachou show held yesterday at Fashion Rio. The reason why Bryan is in the background? He was not listed under the celebrities and editors seated in the front row.
However on his own blog, www.bryanboy.com, he says he is happy because it was cloudy drizzly in the morning he arrived in Rio. Hope you have an awesome time Bryan.

Britney Spears - Hold It Against Me (New Single)

The buzz and the speculations about Britney's first single from her upcoming album are finally over." I couldn't wait any longer, hope that you don't mind," tweets Britney to her fans. Over 40'000 people have already heard on You Tube.
I am not in love with it but I don't hate it either. Let's hope the video for it to be amazing!

The black issue of Vogue Brazil

Emanuela de Paula graces the cover of the all black models January issue of Vogue Brazil. The idea isn't new, remember Vogue Italia July 2008 edition? However it seems very appropriate given that Brazil has the 2nd largest population of African descents outside Africa. Also Vogue Brazil has a new publisher, Editora Globo, and Conde Nast owns a percentage of the magazine as well. Therefore there is a big push for a better and more fashion forward magazine. Critics in Brazil don't find the magazine to be up to par to the other franchises of Vogue across the globe. But this edition proves to be a big path towards that way.

And the title of new editor in chief of Vogue Paris goes to?

Emmanuelle Alt is the new editor in chief of Vogue Paris, where she previously worked as the fashion editor. She is also a fashion stylist and has been working for the french magazine since 2000. According to an article posted at The Huffing Post, "WWD asked a handful of fashion insiders for their thoughts on Emmanuelle Alt's new position and Karl Lagerfeld seemed very wishy-washy on whether she'd do a good job: Her style is her big shoulders, long legs, tight jeans, sleeves up to the elbow, one hip out," the designer said. "I personally like her. She's a handsome French woman. She has a style, but is it enough to make a whole magazine?"
What's your reaction?

Rio de Janeiro 2016.

The video introducing Rio de Janeiro as the host city for the 2016 Olympics games has been unveiled. Also the new logo has been introduced for the games.
The logo itself is pretty but not amazing and the designer who created the logo has been accused of plagiarism. Judge for yourself.

Good things come for those who wait!

Tom Ford is back to designing women's clothing. And his debut Spring 2011 collection presented last fall in New York caused such a buzz since no media cameras nor photographers, except for Terry Richardson, were allowed in his Manhattan boutique.
Now the video for the collection has been released on You Tube and Tom Ford's website has announced the women's collection look book to be available soon.
The wait has been long but it was well worth it. Mr. Ford show was impeccable with a cast of A Lister's that included Beyonce, Lyia Kebede, Julianne Moore and Daphne Guinness to name a few. Enjoy the show!

Happy New Year!!!

It has been a while and I sure have missed been here sharing my thoughts with all of you. I am coming back and this time I will try to stay in touch and on top of things bringing you exciting news about all that matters...

A new message...

Long gone were the days in which music videos followed a simple basic formula, and that was music + performer singing alone + people dancing = happy ending/nice video. These days in order to get attention and to show attention to some of the issues we encounter on today's society, such as hunger, violence and discrimination, some artists appeal to short movies to express themselves. Recently M.I.A. and Erykah Badu have caught my attention with their latest video. (Please be advised that the following videos contain violence and nudity and are not recommended for minors.)

Bionic!

Christina Aguilera is getting ready to release her new album, entitled Bionic. For this album she joined forces with several different artists in a collaboration that she called "a magical journey." I do like her and believe her to be talented and possess an amazing voice, but will she finally find a good stylist, one who will finally dress accordingly.

Inspiration!

Recently I had the pleasure to meet Jenna Lyons, J.Crew creative director, in person. And for someone who is so well-known in the industry to be able to be so accessible...meaning she is down-to-earth and not obnoxious...its life lesson on how we all should be regardless of how much money or power you might have. Here she shares a bit of her personal life and inspirations( She is my inspiration):

Teeth of disappointment...

First Spring!

Instead of just shooting their menswear campaign with a famous photographer Miuccia hired Yang Fudong to direct a short film and the stills of this movie where turned into a campaign. Very clever, isnt it?

The boys of Miuccia.

Prada's fall 2011 menswear show was delightfull. Full of desirable pieces everyguy will want to have in their closet. The brand also released a you tube channel, and this season it was the first time they broadcast their runway show live through their website. When a label as big as Prada changes direction in their way of presenting their product to the media and their clients as well that means times are changing. Now we have to wait and see the others who will follow.
