Gripp Jeans A/W Collection 2009
As usual I was browsing for something new and WOALA! I found it the Australian brand designed by Dianne Grgat ! The I never heard of this brand before but when I saw their A/W collection, I loved so much of it. Especially the look with one shoulder top over the corset with pants and the belt and the shoes. That look for me is to die for: Strong, sexy, modern but yet very feminine with masculine twist in it. I can so see myself in that outfit :)
About the collection from their website (http://www.grippjeans.com.au/):
Sophisticated glamour sized with a rock vamp edge, leaving the collection with a feel of lust and utter abandonment. Key pieces such as the corsets in power net and lace emphasise feminine virtues such as the décolletage. Fitted body dresses in lace and draped jersey play a game of peek-a-boo on the derriere and feminine assertiveness is expressed with strong structural lines in shoulder detailing.
A touch of darkness and a tougher edge is seen in the collection with the predominantly black colour palette, over sized tailored jackets to drape over the shoulders, the usage of leather and heavy metal hardware and trims. Metal collar tips, snap studs and hook & eye fastenings glisten reflecting the black like shine of a raven’s eye.

The Wang Factor
On how it all began for Alexander Wang:
"I think I was subconsciously influenced by fashion. I started reading about designers and looking at magazines. And then at a certain age I said that this is what I wanted to do. I moved to New York and went straight to Parsons. Before I started at Parsons I had an internship at Marc Jacobs the opportunity came a long and it was drop all. It was one of the most amazing experiences I've ever had, coming from San Francisco and being dropped in Fashion Week. It was a four-year programme but I finished after two years. I decided to take leave of absence as I was learning a lot on my internships. I took the summer off and made a small knitwear collection."
On making mistakes:
"Luckily mistakes were early before they were too public. Everyone does [make mistakes] you learn from them, its the only way to move on."
On the creative process:
“Usually we look at everything we’ve done so far. It’s always about evolving what we’ve done – where does she need to go next? I believe in pieces that are timeless.”
On designer influences:
“Tom Ford at Gucci and Marc Jacobs – it’s more about their careers that has inspired me. It’s remarkable to see how each person has done it individually.”
On the difference between NY and Paris houses:
“New York’s reputation is driven on the commercial aspect and what sells. French houses are about building an identity and then they sell bags and shoes.”
On the Alexander Wang DNA:
“I don’t think there is a specific DNA. I think it’s more of a sensibility – which is found in New York but also in a lot of different places. This idea is definitely shared.”
On Erin Wasson:
“I really consider Erin a friend rather than a muse – I think that term is so outdated. Really it’s the people around me that inspire me – my friends and people I have close relationships with.”
On social networking:
“You have t be aware of how times are changing. We invited a couple of bloggers who we felt were appropriate to the show. Tavi, the way she reviews a show is fascinating.”
On getting into the industry:
“Have a clear idea of what you want to do. You need to be determined and ambitious to achieve the end result. It’s scary but if you know exactly what your point of view is, it makes it much easier.”
MANOLO BLAHNIK Spring Summer 2010
Manolo Blahnik - Shoe Legend!
"I hate celebrities," he revealed to VOGUE.COM. "All those pointless girls - I won't name names, but you know who I mean. They are 'famous'. Ridiculous. I like women with style: actresses like Uma Thurman, icons like Audrey Hepburn. I like women with style to wear my shoes."
"Im obsessed with old movies, actresses like Sophia Loren and Maria Felix"
"I like things that are timeless. I love when you see someone who has had the same pair of shoes mended again and again, for years. I love things that are made to last and I admire women who have style. As far as the changing fashions, I just love shoes. I dont give a damn about trends"
"I think women in flat shoes look beautiful but it is more difficult to look graceful. When women wear flat shoes they often walk: stomp, stomp, stomp like a man. It is more of a challenge to be feminine in flats. You look at Audrey Hepburn or Brigitte Bardot when they wore flats tey were beautiful like a little reindeer but it is not like that fot everyone"
Vera Wang to die for necklaces :)
I am really crazy about accessories. My dad says if he lost me in a shopping mall he will definatly find me in an accessory shop :)
Vera Wang Spring Summer 2010 Part 1
My favorite show!!! In my opinion the most amazing Spring/Summer show was Vera Wangs. I saw her wearing one of the designs from Spring Summer show on E channel couple of month ago since that day I was waiting to see the full collection. It was worth waiting for, my intuition didn’t lie to me,I would kill for that loose black jumpsuit with an incredible spiderweb necklace and grey-metallic halter tank top with poufy ballerina skirt.
Vogue: “Its not often that one is moved to tears by a runway show- especially in New York “show me the money” City, where fashion tends more toward the commercial than the lyrical. But that’s exactly what happened on Tuesday morning when Vera Wang presented her spring/summer 2010 collection. “
