Twisting and Stretching with Eleonore De Ruuk

I am feeling it! If comfort always looked this good, I'd be dressed head to toe in streetwear-sportswear every day. As a matter of fact as I am sitting in front of my computer right now, I am wishing I was dressed in Dutch designer Eleonore De Ruuk's designs. I'd twist and stretch or just lounge and be lazy but surely feel on top of my fashion game. You judge for yourself and let me know what you think...

Rachel Antonoff and Julia Frakes Interview- Fall/Winter Collection 2010

It took me awhile to get this video edited and posted but here it is now. The gracious Rachel Antonoff and the lovely Julia Frakes from Bunny Bisous were sweet enough to talk to me during the Fall Winter 2010 presentation of the Murder Mystery Rachel Antonoff collection. Enjoy!

Julian Louie - Fall/Winter 2010

A static presentation could be boring, especially without live models to glance back at you. In the case of Julian Louie I was more captivated by the moving images rather than the motionless headless mannequins and hanging clothes on a rack. The romantic short movie and the nostalgic french song felt more like a museum installation to me with just the right doze of sweetness and femininity.

Frank Tell - Fall Winter 2010

Frank Tell's Fall/Winter 2010 show at Milk Studios, NYC was my favorite so far during fashion week. A bit more daring construction than others, but still very feminine and reasonably wearable. Can't say the same about the shoes! Even the models had a hard time walking in them, but it is a fashion show so I personally appreciate a bit of a spectacle in the name of fashion when it works with the overall concept! Enjoy the video!

Christina Lopera - Disturbed Beauty!

A touch of beauty and just enough of a disturbed sensation made me featured Christina Lopera's illustrations and dolls, as suggested by Krasi Genova. I have to admit dolls scare me more than clowns! How about you?

Amsterdam Fashion Week - Jantaminau

The Amsterdam Fashion week just wrapped up and here are a few exciting looks that caught my attention.

Jantaminau - Although this dramatic collection presented one too many Gaga-ish pantless looks walking down the runway, the overall concept was cohesive. Lots of glam girls and bright starlets will be happy to shine in one of Jan Jantaminau's dresses for a party out on the town. Strong shapes and plenty of construction details convinced me that there is a bright future for this  Nordic label.

Esser in Future Perfect

One regret I have from going away on vacation is that I wasn't able to organize myself to attend the Amsterdam fashion week. The Future Perfect exhibition opening was one of the events I would have loved to go to. It featured designs by Denise Esser. You might remember her graduation collection which I covered on BobbinTalk {here}.
