Karl’s “Mysterious new project”

So Karl Lagerfeld is working on a new “Mysterious and unusual” project, so he says. I feel like he is always up to something and it’s always fascinating. Here is a video where he introduces his new secret, without saying anything too revealing, of course. It looks like it has something to do with furniture. Hmmm. Here’s the Karl way of saying a lot and not saying much at the same time:

I have been writing and reviewing accessories collections for over a year now for my weekly column in Haaretz newspaper. I dare to say, that I see a lot of jewellery. There are so many jewellery designers out there, and I never thought it could be as fascinating as I found it to bem especially when they are good. Naturally, I always look around to find others, not here in Tel-Aviv, and I’m especially happy when I find some really artistic ones, special, and to make my point of view clear – I love finding those who don’t think about what they are going to sell better before they design their pieces, but treat it as their expression of art.

Dominic Jones is a recent love.

I’m sure you understand what I like in jewellery a little better after these photos.

Balenciaga meets Saint-Honoré

Might be old news around here, but I love Balenciaga. What’s new about it, that every time I fall in love anew with this brand, it gives me an additional reason for it. It can be a shoe, a bag, a sweater, a dress, or even pants. There’s always something by Nicolas Ghesquière that makes me love it a little more. A few months back from now, as I was just getting addicted to Instagram, I found the Balenciaga account. They upload beautiful vintage Balenciaga pieces from the 40s and the 50s every day, mostly in Black & White. Sometimes, it’s the only pick-me-up I need during the day – a great reminder to why I love doing what I do in life. Just when it gets super stressful and intense, as it usually does.

So here’s another new reason – the fantastic design of their new store on Saint-Honoré in Paris. It’s like a museum of aesthetics, beautiful architecture and stunning interior design.

I got the new store pics from Balenciaga’s Facebook Page here.

 

 

If you are around, I recommend stepping in. You don’t have to buy anything, appreciating art, design and fashion with your eyes is free.

Friday, April 13th: Morning Inspiration

I always wait anxiously for new updates on my Google Reader from a blog called: JJJJound. It is nothing but a usual blog – it has a weird name, the posts are never titled, and there is no written content whatsoever. Only wonderful photos. So how is it one of my favorite blogs? Just scrolling down the photos of each post fills me up with endless inspiration on how to dress, how to style, how to design and what to look for when I take pictures myself.

I want to share their latest post here with you, because it was such a great way for me to start my morning after practicing some yoga. I hope you will like it too, here it is – JJJJound.

Have a wonderful Friday morning!

Sarah Burton is, by all means, a genius. My only regret will ever be that she had to take over Alexander McQueen, and never had the chance to become famous before he died. Then again, had she became famous regardless of McQueen, she might not be available to take over his position, and I seriously can’t imagine anyone who could do it better than her.

This video was shot for the celebration of the first McQueen boutique to open in Beijing. Just watch:
