GIA- TOO BEAUTIFUL TO DIE. TOO WILD TO LIVE

 "I'd tell them that you don't have to be anybody. Because I'd know that being somebody doesn't make you anybody anyway." - Gia Carangi

This young woman is a total inspiration to me. I haven't seen such an amazing, spirited, wild, independent person in my life! 
Gia Marie Carangi (January 29, 1960 – November 18, 1986)
She was an american fashion model in late 70s. 

Carangi was featured on the cover of British VOGUE

VOGUE Italia

American VOGUE 

VOGUE Paris twice

She had the whole world on her finger tips, unfortunately she became addicted to heroin. Despite this, she was still determined to make a comeback in the fashion industry. In 1986 she was diagnosed with AIDS. Gia was first woman who died of AIDS. 

There is a biography of Carangi by Stephen Fried called Thing of Beauty and movie "GIA" with Angelina Jolie.

ETHNIC INSPIRED FASHION

A long time, "ethno" clothes were not one of the girls favorite outfits, but now the situation has changed radically. Especially fashionable are dark clothes with rippled patterns, borrowed from different countries. Scarves, ground sweeping long stitched dresses and mottled skirts are BOMB this summer!

FRINGES

Who can say no to them? Look how cute and even sexy

they can be!

BEADS

They are everywhere! From belts to shoes with them.

How gorgeous is that?

TRIBAL PATTERN

It's very important. I just love "ethnic" patterns. 

They are kind a mystical and so warm to look!

ACCESSORIES

Feathers are relly popular this summer. And so are

accessories. The more the merrier! Don't forget about brigt

neon colors.

SWEET DENIM DREAM

People love practical, comfortable and stylish clothes... jeans meets all these creteria. Granted, jeans aren’t the easiest item to buy and finding that perfect pair inevitably involves hours spent in a fitting room, but once you’ve found them – the pair can magically remold your body. Denim can be sexy or elegant, light or heavy- it all depends on the season trends and users imagination. Although all the books and fashion stylists say that "denim with denim" is not appropriate, but the designers have a different opinion. They are re-discovering the double denim trend as clean, fresh and modern. Don't go just beyond denim jacket and jeans. Experiment with a denim shirt, denim accessories, skirts, shoes. Clearly, "denim with denim" is risky, but if it's done correctly - the risk will pay off.

MILAN FALL 2013 FRESH

I wanted to do a review on Milan Fashion Week Fall 2013 a long time ago. And finally IT'S HERE! 

As always, a lot of well-known designers wanted to be there. But, we all know, that not everyone can hit a runway.

In the beginning I wanna say, that this collection is a little bit too cold even for me. But there were some designers who did a great job. 

Take a look

Alberta Ferretti: collection Bold Sensuality

Really delicate looks, bold colors, gentle materials.

Marni: collection A Fur For All

Black, grey, white. There were hairy fur capelets and huge
mottled fur coats in grey-black and beige.  

No 21: collection Teenage Wasteland

'90s look. Love it! There were sweaters made out of

sequins and paired with boyish trousers, plaid

shirts covered with crystals.

COCO CHANEL

Hello readers.

I believe, that Gabrielle Bonheur Chanel is one of the most respected icons in fashion world. Every girl wants to be like her, wants to be elegant, well-educated, loved. 

Have you ever wondered why Coco was (or I should say "is"?) such a successful woman? I have an answer for you. There are 10 really simply rules which she was following while created amazing clothes and her own specific style: 

1. Luxury must be comfortable, otherwise it’s not a luxury. That’s the main reason why Chanel designed her clothes to be comfortable at first.
2. Perfumes are also clothes. “Woman that doesn’t use perfume has no future” – thisfamous Chanel’s phrase is still popular. 
3. Adore little black dresses. Before Chanel black color was considered as the color of mourning, but when she offered her vision of a little black dress, everyone started wearing this comfortable and elegant model.
4.  There must be a strap on a handbag to leave hands free. Black small purse on a chain, designed by Chanel, is still considered to be one of the classic purse models.
5. Stylish shoes can be double-colored. Chanel adored black and white combination.
6. Perfect suit combines male and female. She loved wearing sailor’s striped vest, socks with prints and roughly knitted sweaters.
7. There must be a lot of accessories. The more accessories you have, the better you look. 
8. Perfect skirt must cover the knees. Coco Chanel believed that women’s knees are extremely ugly, and the best thing to do is to hide them under the skirt.
9. Trousers make woman free. Coco was the first to design and start wearing trousers.
10. Coats must be as soft as jackets. Instead of rough coats Chanel offered women soft silk.

RIHANNA FOR RIVER ISLAND NO. 2

Here comes the summer... Rihanna recently presented her own and River Island clothes collection. Now the second one is coming out on 28 of May. There are some pictures and one video already in the magazines. In that video, Rihanna admits that she was really selfish while developing this collection, because the clothes are exactly what she wanted. The summer "Rihanna for River Island" campaign was shot at Milk Studios in New York by legendary photographer, Mario Sorrenti.  I can also say, that the models are really pretty, but I prefer healthy-body models. Which means, that they could be a little bit fitter and stronger looking.
In this collection you will find everything, from short belly uncovering shirts, to sweaters with singer's image on it. 
If you are real Riri's fan, you will be fascinated by this collection.
Take a look.
