Book it.

Nars is celebrating 15 years and its releasing a book full of amazing pictures; such as the one of Marc Jacobs. Another very exciting release is MaRIO DE JANEIRO Testino, whose tittle explains it all. Beatiful city + beautiful people + extraordinare photographer. Sounds like the perfect formula for a book and its already on my wish list.

The art of Capoeira.

Capoeira, the Brazilian martial art, has a movie coming out soon. And it seems to be a very good production worth watching. Lots of fighting and historical backgrounds on how African descents brought to Brazil as slaves influenced this martial art.

Afrodisiac!

I find it very smart how some companies are easily adopting new medias such as: You Tube, Facebook and Twitter to market their brands. Marc Jacobs has not only made the show for his signature label available, but his collection for Louis Vuitton can also be watched on you tube, and the brand's Facebook page. And the collection was full of energy and youth, and I feel like the Asian market is going to be an early adopter of everything. Specially those tiny pocket bags adorned with the rabbits tails and tassels, worn with short shorts. And what about the big afros with the cute bowls?. Its city, but in a good way. Kind funny to observe Grace Coddington glimpsing through all the movement in the room as the fashionistas look for their seats in the dark.

Coco goes to the farm...

For its Spring/Summer 2010 Karl Lagerfeld took his Chanel it-girls for a walk on the barn. The whole extravaganza also included an "almost" threesome and a live performance by Lilly Allen. Here's a preview; and I am sorry for the late post...i just have been a little under the weather.

The sisterhood of the hooded girls!

Nicolas Ghesquière simply shutting it down once I again for his Balenciaga Printemps/Ete 2010 Collection. The colors, use of fabrics, and how everything is layered together resulting into fashion instant desire. Get it girl!

And now looking forward...

Here's a preview of what Christophe Decarnin's future holds for us. Short/Sexy/Daring. Everything any it girl can ask of a summer collection. And who better to open the show than Daria? I'm also really excited for the Homme Collection.

Know where you came from...

In order to move forward you must look back. And since I didn't post Balmain's Autumn/Winter 2009/2010 when it was presented last summer, here's the video for it just so we can refresh our memories and be able to understand better his Printemps/Ete Collection. Amazing casting + amazing designs + amazing soundtrack = (watch it below):
