<\/p>\nV-am neglijat ieri si saptamana trecuta, stiu – mea culpa, din motive de lipsa de timp: weekendul trecut diminetile mi-au fost ocupate de cursul de stil, ieri dimineata de o discutie\/ prezentare despre tendinte. Pentru cine nu s-a putut trezi sambata dimineata, ma mai puteti prinde discutand despre moda miercuri, 20, de la 6 jumatate seara, in Orange Concept Store.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Astazi insa m-am trezit cu pofta de citit, de plimbat si citit in parc, de muzica din anii ’80, de soare, de miros de liliac si de paine prajita.\u00a0 Azi imi scot la plimbare sandalele, fustele maxi din tricot, bulinele si florile, geaca de jeansi; azi imi schimb muzica de pe iPod, azi incep o carte noua…<\/p>\n

Btw, azi inca mai prindeti Bookland in AFI Cotroceni, Autor 5 la Sala Dalles pana la ora 8 seara si la MTR este Targul de Florii. Si uite cum s-au legat lucrurile, pentru ca asa reusesc sa spun un „la multi ani!” florilor cu nume de flori \ud83d\ude09 Sa fiti bune si frumoase, sa fiti colorate, sa va deschideti corolele pentru si in lume, sa ramaneti flori si sa nu va transformati in buruieni, no matter what… and this goes out to Florentine si Florine, Margarete, Liliane, Viorici si Viorele, Crengute (in special o Crenguta speciala!), Crine, Camelii, Delii, Lacramioare, Narcise, Sanziane…<\/p>\n

Ok, iar acum linkurile zilei, mai multe ca de obicei…<\/p>\n
Westwood: from outsider to subversive insider <\/em>– \u201cThis coming week marks 30 years since Vivienne Westwood and Malcolm McLaren\u2019s \u2018pirate\u2019 collection stormed the runway in London with a blaze of sunshine colours and ethnic prints. The show was Westwood\u2019s first swagger on to the catwalk, forging a sophisticated post-punk aesthetic with a billowing new romantic silhouette.\u201d In Financial Times<\/a>.<\/p>\n Spring theater of absurd <\/em>– „Fashion is many things: beautiful, frivolous, devout, serious – sometimes all at once. It is performance and craft, in whatever style.” In On the runway<\/a>.<\/p>\n Fabric of Italian life<\/em> – „The zeitgeist of Italian manufacturing is perhaps best captured in the 2009 film „I Am Love.” While based on fictional characters, the film has a very real-life counterpart in the Castellini family, owners of luxury textile firm C&C Milano.” In WSJ<\/a>.<\/p>\n Erdem on his floral obsession, Tilda, H&M and Kate <\/em>– \u201cThere\u2019s no question that fashion and technology are growing ever closer by the day, but Canadian-British-Turkish designer Erdem Moralioglu takes the concept of digital design a step further than most.\u201d In Fashionista<\/a>.<\/p>\n Mini-bags <\/em>– „I used to think that mini-bags were the sartorial equivalent of tiny lap-dogs: expensive accessories for Eurotrash it-girls and socialites. For if our emotional baggage is already a sufficiently heavy burden, why add to the load with an excess of physical luggage?” In The Telegraph<\/a>.<\/p>\n Gap seeks to freshen itself as people’s brand<\/em> – \u201cRemember when Gap advertising was entertaining and effective\u2026 Yes, and remember the Clinton presidency? It may be an exaggeration that the Gap division of Gap Inc. has had no outstanding marketing since the 1990s. But Gap has been struggling for years to figure out how to attract younger consumers as well as win back those who have stopped shopping there.\u201d In NY Times<\/a>.<\/p>\n For Kors, the glow doesn’t fade <\/em>-„IF 80 percent of success is showing up, to quote poor Woody Allen<\/span> yet again, then maybe the other 20 percent is sticking around? Consider the designer Michael Kors<\/span>, who recently commemorated 30 consistent if not generally spine-tingling years in the fashion industry”. In NY Times.<\/a><\/p>\n \u00a0 Must haves for spring<\/em> – „There’s nothing really „must have” about fashion or style. Where clothes are concerned, „must haves” really are for children in third-world countries or for the Libyan refugees streaming across the Egyptian and Tunisian borders, without any of their worldly belongings.” In WSJ<\/a>.<\/p>\n Hussein Chalayan: the surreal thing <\/em>– \u201cWhen a designer such as Hussein Chalayan bases his collection on Japan it\u2019s safe to presume that his interpretation will be far from literal: no opulent silk obi sashes tying flat-cut voluminous garments here.\u201d In The Independent.<\/a><\/p>\n Designers face uphill battle<\/em> – \u201cKnock offs are nothing new, but the Proenza Schouler bag situation hit a nerve \u2014 after all, the design duo has a history of partnering with Target. If they aren\u2019t off limits, who is?\u201d In Thread NY<\/a>.<\/p>\n A mannequin in very way<\/em> – Mr. Sundsbo, a photographer known for a style of digitally manipulated imagery that could be described as a modern mannerism, had been asked to document the designs that will be in the McQueen retrospective at the ![\"spring.JPG\"](\"http:\/\/www.stylediary.ro\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/spring.JPG\" "\\"spring.JPG\\"")
