Chanel iconic jacket – an explanation

12 Mar 2013

0 Comment

The iconic Chanel jacket. Seriously, there is an explanation for its eternal success. First out in 1954 and continued to be one of the world’s most wanted fashion pieces in every woman’s wardrobe, this video out by Chanel explains it: it’s all about the freedom of movement. Coco Chanel herself is being interviewed on this video, explaining that her biggest challenge is to design clothes for women, which would allow them to move in them, freely. Here:

and here she is. Wearing one herself. Needless to say, it’s the only one I want:

CR Fashion Book 2nd issue – behind the scenes

11 Mar 2013

0 Comment

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

A non-runway post and a great cover

3 Mar 2013

0 Comment

I’m doing my best to still not say anything about Paris fashion week that is happening right now, because I feel like this season is all about strong collections for most brands, nothing looks simple, and I love it. I feel like it’s a lot to digest and I still need to do my thinking. For now, I can only say that I loved Balenciaga and Acne more than everything else, but it’s really too soon to tell.

In between so many runways coverages and reviews, I’m also very glad to find some inspiration in beautiful recent photos published on Another magazine and on Dazed & Confused websites, just for the change of scenery of catwalks and backstage beauty. And models, so many models. Or is it always the same group of models in all the shows? (rhetoric question that was).

Here are three. Non-catwalk non-models and non-commercial photos that I loved this week. It’s just a much needed pause, don’t worry. I’ll be back to posting outfits and editorials before you know it.

Ok, I feel much better now. Now off to watch Celine’s show from earlier today. So I’ll just end this post with a great Sunday song:

Marc Jacobs Magic Show Fall 2013 RTW

19 Feb 2013

0 Comment

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:

(photos are taken from style.com)

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 ;)

Karl’s “Mysterious new project”

30 Jan 2013

1 Comment

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:

Dare to be Bold: Dior Homme

30 Jan 2013

Looking at the Spring 2013 Dior Homme runway made me sense some very strict classic rules: It is mostly in light navy blue, a little bit of grey, black and tiny bits of red. It is very tailored, even the most casual pieces in it are super done and elegant. I loved it. AND I loved it 10x more when I saw the video Dior made for it, and not because of the clothes. It is very different, bold, and daring. Completely out of Dior Homme strict elegant rules yet very chic and emphasises the young rebellious Dior Homme man. Watch it here:

The real people on Scott Schuman’s photos

29 Jan 2013

I feel like it’s one thing to admire The Sartorialist photos (we all do) and it’s a whole different thing to know the people he is photographing again and again at different times, events and venues. This video is not only well-edited and beautifully done, it is also very interesting and give a glimpse to these real people, not necessarily in high positions in the fashion industry, yet they are fascinating because of who they are and thanks to their simplicity.

The Sartorialist – Personal Portraits from ACTA on Vimeo.

Told you, it’s inspiring and beautiful.

p.s. If you still don’t own The Sartorialist books, I highly recommend them both. I always go back to them for inspiration. You can view and purchase them here through Amazon:
This is the first book –

And this is the second book –

The new Chanel And The Diamond video is fantastic

29 Jan 2013

I had no idea that Gabrielle Chanel designed her only diamonds collection in 1932 and had no clue about her approach to diamonds. This just-launched video by Chanel will glue you to your screen, I promise you, even if you don’t really like diamonds (I don’t and still…):
