Escapism now – Bottega Veneta’s Hand Of The Artisan video

A much needed break from the craziness around me (war in Israel, you know…) in the shape of this beautiful video by Bottega Veneta.

The reason I love videos like this is because I can never explain in words when asked why high brands designs cost so much. These videos explain it so well. There is so much work behind every piece, and each one is done perfectly or not at all. So many super talented people are on it and the materials used are the most expensive ones to begin with. Watch this:

p.s the music on this video is simply wonderful. Adds some magic to the much needed break I was talking about earlier :)

Fashion heartaches

Every year, I have two days when I die to be in Milan for a couple of hours: fall/winter fashion week and spring/summer fashion week. I only want to see Bottega Veneta show live. That’s all. Today is one of those days.

The Bottega Veneta ss12 fashion show.
I’m still not there :-(

Jil Sander Fall/Winter 2011 – once in a life time

Well, maybe more than once, but it is definitely the first time something like this has ever happened to me. I was going through Style.com’s iPad app yesterday, checking out the latest shows at Milan fashion week. I entered Jil Sander’s show right after losing heartbeats by watching Bottega Veneta and Alberta Ferreti, which were both so beautiful. And then it happened:

For the first time in my life, I saw a collection that is spotless. I would wear each and every item of it, thinking it’s the most beautiful one i could ever wear. The black pieces are all spot on – the capes, the sweaters, the coats, and omg the pants – are all perfect. After a brilliant summer collection, you’d think it will be hard to top it, and then came this one, which is totally mind blowing. The gray oversized maxi wool dress literally has my name on it!

I highly recommend checking out the collection here at style.com. A few highlights are up on Fashiongonerogue, here are some of my favorite:

Best morning reads in fashion, Jan 2nd, 2011

Topshop Spring-summer 2011 lookbook – Most of what I wore in the past year came from Topshop, for sure. I have to admit it that I’m not a big fan of the combinations offered in this lookbook, but I’m sure I’m going to love most of the pieces, separately, and that I will be able to play with them according to my own style. Here it is, take a look:

The Cut – This Week in Street Style – I’m a sucker for these slideshows, really. I enjoy each and every one of these slideshows. It gives me so much inspiration for what to wear and how’s I’d like to dress up. Seriously, the more of these – the merrier! Here it is: http://nymag.com/daily/fashion/2010/12/slideshow_the_week_in_street_s_9.html?mid=fashion-alert–20101231

Mulberry Spring 2011 Campaign Preview – I probably see tens of campaigns every month as a big part of my job as a fashion journalist. After a while, I realized that it takes much to impress me or to even stop scrolling down to the next item and take a good look. This one just made me do it. It’s beautiful: http://fashiongonerogue.com/mulberry-spring-2011-campaign-preview-lindsey-wixson-tim-walker/

Fashionologie.com: Candy Magazine Does Drag Versions of Anna Wintour, Grace Coddington and Tavi Gevinson – These shots are really amazing. Great job :-D http://www.fashionologie.com/Candy-Magazine-Does-Drag-Versions-Anna-Wintour-Grace-Coddington-Tavi-Gevinson-13020665

Racked.com: Tomas Maier’s Eloquent Thoughts on the concept of “it” bags – He’s right, of course. He’s always right in my opinion, because he’s the brilliant man behind Bottega Veneta, so he must be right :-) http://racked.com/archives/2010/12/30/tomas-maiers-eloquent-thoughts.php
