Summer Librarians



She has a thunder in her heart. Thunderstorm. Not one of those storms where drops fall for few moments and then disappear like someone from above has pulled them and replace with sun like it was mistake. This thunderstorm is made of vicious clouds in gray shade that are hugging the human objects like they want to knock them down. This thunderstorm plays with you for too long and just when you want to close your umbrella...din….you realized you’ve been taken for the fool. 
And there is it today, the new dance of your curtain announcing stubborn emotions determined in creating cracks on the sky that’s surrounds you. 
She wants easy days to come. Easy days. Easy days with tender sunlight that are putting your affairs in order while unflustered breeze is giving balance and comfort to your being. She is aching for summery days filled with friendship with smart females and flirting with not so smart males. Tender summer days where her long flowy skirts will cover the secrets of her passions. Tender summer nights spent in revealing secrets and wisdoms of published works of Didion and Nin. 
She doesn’t want black tears in her 1960s eyes on parking spaces in 4 am. She wants to be liberated from the locks around her wrists and thunders in her heart. She wants to run away from errands of other thunderstorms placed in other hearts. She doesn’t want listen to Blur. 
She is tired. Tired of her foolish conscience. And she is tired of the noise of her heart. 
She looks really cool. But she is a total nerd.

New York Fashion Week Fall Winter 2013


In these days when photographs from fashion weeks are popping up everywhere, for fashion lovers (including me) who are not able to see the shows in personal this complete excitement can be little annoying. Images rarely give the full portrait of fashion show, the clothes and all the details that are crucial in many ways. Although many sites that cover fashion weeks provide images of details and live streaming, usually this is the case with major shows, which I reckon it’s pretty unfair for emerging designers. 
I almost gave up so many times from my examination of this jungle of images from fashion shows, but even If I am not obligated to see the show or I don’t have a gig for article or review fashion is an excitement that I cannot resist. 
I love to see a good fashion show. Good fashion show gives me butterflies. I love to catch a glimpse of good old passion that is substituted by profit quite often nowadays. These butterflies remind me why I chose career in fashion. They remind of my early teenager days when I used to run from the school after the ring of the bell to record on VHS tapes my favourite fashion shows. I used to get butterflies so often in those days, despite the fact that fashion trends of the 1990s were awfully ugly. 
From hundreds of shows that fashion designers presented during New York Fashion Week for fall 2013, Delpozo show was one of those that gave me butterflies. Josep Font, creative director of this Madrid-based label that is newcomer on New York Fashion Week used embellishments and architectural forms to create a modern Victorian era of our days. (Delpozo was founded in 1974 by famous Spanish fashion designer Jesus del Pozo.) 
Honor this year left me breathless. Giovanna Randall, the designer, created feminine silhouettes that were many times embellished with crystals and stylist Leith Clark wrapped up everything in perfect ensembles adorned with pointed flats and white hosiery. 
Above in the collage are the rest of my butterflies’ creators. Suno, Karen Walker, Creatures of Comfort, Band of Outsiders, Lauren Moffat, Tocca etc. reminded me once again why I love the fashion.

new york spring 2013 highlights



Bookmarks for the Spring 2013 from New York Fashion Week

Orla Kiely Except at Orla is always happening a showcase of extremely pretty garments, once again she amused her loyal fans with another wonderful film from her factory of talent; director Maximilla Lukacs and Lula’s Leith Clark. Bardot-esque Hannah Holman as Darlin took Orla Kiely’s pretty designs to vague summer of 1960. (see film here)
Lauren Moffatt’s quirky dresses and swimsuits made in joyful stripes and polka dots, perfectly fitted in the environment; the tennis court. Inspiration behind; "a combination of the very classic look of lawn tennis in the '60s, and a colorful city pool." 
Rachel Antonoff had another great presentation. This time Rachel’s girls, dressed up in comfy frocks that only cool girls know how to wear, spent the day at picnic. Except clothes, she showed us once again why her collaboration with Bass shoes is just the right thing. 
Karen Walker, New Zealand queen of preppy, steps more than usual into the field of girly and it looked just right. So except Playpark in New Zealand, she created one in New York. (Playpark is the store that besides  Karen Walker clothing and eyewear, offers great range of clothes by Karen’s favorite designers) 
Tocca, under our beloved Emma Fletcher is surely going to right direction. Emma’s vision of hot air balloons and kaleidoscopes it’s not just marvelous, but very practical. Shoes were ideal, especially when they were in contrast with Emma's signature soft lace inserts. 

More moments to remember

Christian Siriano ballerina’s moment and pointed Mary Janes adorned with bow. Suno’s shiny dresses, everything from Honor and Steven Alan, Yeohlee’s metallic romance, Edie’s moment at Marc Jacobs (even Alexa Chung between her DJing gigs found the time to share the memory of Edie with designer) and Misha Nonoo’s Cuba-inspired unpretentious ensembles.
