CR Fashion Book 2nd issue – behind the scenes

I haven’t got the chance to put my hands on the second issue of CR Fashion Book yet, but I’ve been following closely enough on the magazine’s website (a recommendation! It’s fantastic) and was surprised to see this cute video up on the YouTube Channel, showing the behind the scenes of a photoshoot taken for this issue. It’s very cheerful, colourful and happy, not very Carin Roitfeld, even though she is in it.

 

If you like Mondays and spring, you might enjoy this one :-P

Marc Jacobs Magic Show Fall 2013 RTW

It is very easy to compare my side of the world (Tel-Aviv, Israel) to the side where fashion is done right, or anywhere considered a fashion capital out there.

I know that there is so much money involved and invested in every little detail, but when I saw a very short video taken at the recent Marc Jacobs show in New york, the only thought that came through my mind was – you can’t buy the feeling of magic created on the runway. It has so many different aspects that create it – the expectations, the character of the brand, its glory and fame, and of course – the beautiful clothes modeled by beautiful models.

Here are some of my favorite looks from that show, following with a 1.5 minutes video that explains the magic quite well:

It was a beautiful celebration of some of the iconic silhuettes and textures from the 40s, with so many metallic elements. And on top of it all, I couldn’t take my eyes off of the shoes. They are all stunning, lots of Mary-Janes and very classic heels. I loved it.

Here is the video I saw, taken by Garance Dore:

 

I hope you felt the magic ;)

Anna Wintour on CBS News

Anna Wintour tends to say very little when she speaks to the public. It is very clear that she chooses her words very carefully and accurately, and there is simply no way to misinterperate her words. Never. I admire people who are so articulate when speaking. I wish I could be like that. My way is to write, that’s for sure.

Watch her talk to CBS News. Her work methods might be surprising to you:

Lady Gaga’s workshop at Barneys

I totally skipped the event as I had to stay in my hotel room and do lots of writing that night, but from what I hear it was pretty insane. Here is a recap, in case you missed out on this one too. Lady Gaga, by the way, is wearing custom made Chanel, no less:

Anna Wintour supports gay marriage

 

 

 

It feels like it’s only a matter of time until this amazing woman will seriously go into politics, doesn’t she? I, personally, really hope that she will. She really doesn’t have to say much, and in her own way, Anna Wintour always chooses the shortest way to say what she has to say in the clearest and most coherent way possible.

Watch her here as she join the human rights campaign “New Yorkers For Marriage Equality”:

Daphne Guinness Performance in the Barneys New York Windows

Just a little before the Met Gala started last night, Daphne Guinness picked her new interesting location to get dressed and ready to go to the ball – the windows at Barneys New York. Her performance was something the fashion world will remember for quite some time now, I assume :-)

You can watch her performance here:
