Is the Bomb that will bring us together

INSPIRATION:

THE SMITHS AND MORRISSEY

So the main inspiration for this look was The Smiths and their singer Morrissey. If you don't know who they are let me tell you they were one of the most influential bands in the 80s, they were part of the post punk movement with The Cure and Joy Division among others (they weren't that famous they were like an underground band they never broke in to the mainstream market). So because they appeared in the 80s is not that hard to achieve a look of that decade you just need some fit pants, and oversized t shirt and blazer. But because they are one of my favorite bands I wanted to make a tribute to them.

Ahead you can see some pics of the Smiths and Morrissey and I will post also some tracks, so you could hear what I think are their best tracks.

Playlist:

Inspiration:

I just wanted to recreate a 60s environment, so I tried to dress a little bit elegant and create the feeling of being trapped on a cheap hotel room because the police is looking for me. I hope you like it guys!

New York Fashion Week Favorites 1

Hard week

Hey everyone! I'm sorry for being so abscent but I've been so busy this last month, I didn't thought this semester was going to be so hard and stressful. This week was horrible like really horrible!!! But thank God I had a great weekend and for the moment everything is calmed.

So today I will post just some insipirational pics, I will try to make some Outfit photos this week. Wish me luck!

Ps. I learned my lesson, never do your homework in the last minute you have.

BAROQUE

INSPIRATION:

So the main inspiration of this look is Alexander McQueen, fabric workers and punk culture. Punks are kind of the result of the working class, specially in England. They became the prophets of rebellion and unconformity. So I thought the mix between this two elements could turn out great, and that's the reason I used my denim shirt symbolizing the fabric workers and the tartan pants obviously represent punk movement. But there is no better result of this two elements that Alexander McQueen himself. Word on the street say that when he was alive no one could thought he was a designer, he wasn't into glamour or any of that stough, if you crossed him in the street and if you didnt knew who he was you may have thought he was a regular worker. And that's what I found fascinating about McQueen, the product of working class and punk culture create one of the most amazing visionaries of the decade and maybe the century! His work wasn't only fashion, it was pure art! Like his last collection that was inspired by churchs and baroque creating garmets made to be adored! An amusing coincidence was that the wall paper of my grandma's house was very baroque and definetely remember me of McQueen's last collection.

WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE

 WAZZAP PEOPLE!!!! THIS IS MY FIRST POST OF 2011 AND I'M VERY EXCITED ABOUT THIS NEW YEAR AND THE SURPRISES IT WILL BRING ME!
I don't really have any goal to complete this year but I will like to be more dedicated to this blog, I know I don't blog as I used to and when I do it, I just put some pics and nothing more, so I've decided to write a little bit more, talk about my looks, the inspiration behind them or maybe some fashion critics; you know like a real blog!


So let's start!

INSPIRATION

 This look was inspired by Spring/Summer 11 Dior's Homme, and Burberry's Prorsum collections. 

Personally I love the layering and capes from Dior Homme. To tell you the truth this collection remind me of Jedis, but as the clothes were most of them the right description should be Siths LOL. Not but it really has this oriental vibe (Star Wars's Jedis were inspired by Samurai and other Japanese warriors) and the cape were really beautiful. The collection is really simple and minimalistic and that's why is so effective and beautiful; the beauty of these clothes are geometric and straight lines. 
Burberry's collection on the other side is all about leather and rock and roll. This collection is definetely is my favorite one this season. I'm a big fan of the rock star style so you can imagine how happy I was when I saw this clothes. But what makes for me this collection so interesting and beatiful is the contrast between softness and hardness represented in the clothes. The jackets are made with leather and the desing of them, which is btw motorcycle style,  symbolize revolution, rawness, rebellion and most of all rock and roll. On the other hand we have the pants and t-shirts which seem being made by cotton, wool and maybe nylon, which are soft materials. So as you see it's really interesting the idea Christopher Bailey had, and how he could mix to opossites in one beautiful show.


Now about my look, I found that these two collection have something in common and for me is that both are dark and kind of goth you know, so I tried to mix them together. So that's why I wear  a trench coat  under my leather jacket, the trenc coat symbolize the cape and long coat in Dior, while the biker jacket obviously represents Burberry collection. On a extra point I used a hat, a pair of boots and white pants in honor of the Clockwork Orange movie, so this rebellios look could be complete.


I hope you like it guys!
