DESCOSIDO: December 2011

Entre la Moda y el Arte en el Taller de Stéphane Rolland

Esa tarde llovía en París. Habían pasado dos días desde que culminaron los desfiles de primavera verano prêt-à-porter 2012 . En su increíble espacio de la Av. George V, el Sr. Rolland atendía a una princesa, tal vez del medio oriente, que se medía su vestido de novia. Poco oportuna la ocasión tal vez para que el couturier reciba una visita, pero perfecta para quien ansía conocer a tan talentoso artista.

Karl Lagerfeld no se equivoca, puso sus ojos sobre Alice Dellal para que ella se la imagen de los bolsos Boy Chanel. Solo habrá que esperar a que salgan las fotos de la campaña en marzo 2012 para ver los fantásticos resultados.
Alice no es la típica modelo muñeca, esta brasilera de 24 años tiene un aire andrógeno y estilo irreverente que la hace diferente a las demás. Sera muy interesante ver que hará el tío Karl con ella.

ESTIVO: Asume el Reto de Amar tu Figura

Vivimos en un mundo donde las chicas delgadas dominan las revistas y los ideales de belleza son cada vez más difíciles de cumplir. No es sorpresa que las mujeres normales, las que salen a la calle todos los días a ocuparse cientos de cosas; las que tienen defectos, arrugas, kilos de sobra, odien más que nada en el mundo tener que ponerse un traje de baño.

For Spring Summer 2012 Roberi Parra does what he likes to call “an ode to form and
function”, recreating classic utilitarian pieces with light fabrics and his unique focus on
tailoring and sharp lines. He explores how certain styles surpass the barriers of gender
through play with basic pieces.

The core of the collection comprising sixteen looks rests on two ideas that go hand in
hand: one delves into the necessity driving people to create or modify certain garments
at a given time, and how these eventually become part of the staple of modern dressing.
For instance, an old military M65 field jacket that belonged to his mother inspired the
structure of a men’s jackets and a lady’s day dress.

Women who embrace men’s clothing tend to be looked upon as powerful, whereas
masculinity is questioned if the opposite happens. The exploration of this paradigm leads
to the second idea: a men’s shirt finds its way into a woman’s wardrobe unmodified,
without any adaptation to the female form whatsoever. A fold across the front of a trouser
softens its masculinity, slightly evoking the form of a wrap skirt.

The male shirt is a sophisticated object. Inspired by its classic tuxedo versions, he
interlined the chest to add structure and a crisp finish whist eliminating need for ironing.
The intention was to simply express his pleasing to a certain classic aesthetic rather than
a nostalgic recreation of a traditional piece.

Female silhouettes are fitted and elongated to floor length or shortened at the thigh.
Meanwhile, lace is used to shake things up. It represents a whim of the designer to work
with an element of beauty that would contrast with plain fabrics such as cotton, leather
and linen abundant throughout the collection.

Colours were as austere as the shapes. The designer opted for solid tones of beige and
brown and basic black and white.

With an impeccable execution of simple concepts, Roberi Parra is able to create light,
functional yet beautiful garments that clearly give meaning to the notion that less is more.

Obsessed With Chanel's Seashell Clutches

Like I always say, there is no genius like uncle Karl. These sea inspired clutches and mini bags are pure perfection; I was surprised not to see any of them in style.com's top ten accessory list. Regardless of what they say, I'm obsessed not only with these beauties, but with the whole Chanel SS2012 collection.
There is probably only room for lipstick, but with a clutch this gorgeous, who cares?
