BEYONCÉ

Beyoncé slayed the all pop industry with her new visual-album "self-titled" BEYONCÉ.

An entire album released as surprise, with 14 songs and 17 videos, creating an history with visuals and contents behind every singles. 

This is the preview of her new video 'Yoncé' featuring some of my favourite models, like Jourdan Dunn, Chanel Iman and the Queen of Fashion Joan Smalls.

something Black&White

Há algo de intrínseco e fascinante numa decoração a preto e branco, que me fascina muito.

Não sei se será o ambiente mais masculino, ou os detalhes marcantes de acessórios escolhidos a dedo de extremo bom gosto.

Sejam cadeiras Eames, mantas Hermés ou acessórios de cor misturados e integrados em ambientes (quase sempre) industriais, mas acolhedores.

Gosto de ambientes que transpiram o lifestyle e a atitude de quem os vive e sente.

Estes são alguns exemplos...

Zegna Couture

 'the new éminences grises'

This is the theme for the new Stefano Pilati's concept for Ermenegildo Zegna new ad-campaign, photographed by Inez & Vinoodh featuring actor Jamie Dornan.

This campaign is the result of a new collaboration between Stefano Pilati and Zegna, since he moved from YSL.

He started and created the now called Zegna Couture collection, with much more quality, design and price-tag than other collection from Zegna before. And as said Alexandre Fury of London's Independent newspaper: "What Pilati did was give Zegna a fashion relevance, and a fashion identity."

This new collection comes also with Scott Schuman from The Sartorialist, as a new member of the Zegna family. 

Scott was invited to do an exclusive photoshoot in Los Angeles, enhancing the essence of this Couture line with captivating shadows.

“When I started to work on the last collection, I said ‘How can I make the Zegna man distinguished in the menswear landscape?’ And I thought, you know, a gesture of luxury. It can be translated in the use of colour, without necessarily looking like a dandy or a peacock. You can do it elegantly, all based on nuances (...) 

Let’s assume that our luxurious customer has everything already. If I introduce the use of colour, you can be formally elegant, but still quite original. That for me is the role that Zegna needs to take on menswear.”

says Stefano Pilati interviewed by BoF

With the new approach of this collection, comes the new Beverly Heels Global Store at 337 Rodeo Drive in LA, 

designed by architect Peter Marino.

During the SpringSummer'14 Show in Milan, this short-film directed by Johan Soderburg started the show. 

As Stefano himself explains: "I found out about the machines, organising a kind of a sound and concept that could show this industry from a contemporary point of view. Everything that has been done in the savoir faire, for me, was a bit boring. I wanted a kind of newer way.”

“Ninety percent of the time, a man in grey has a Zegna suit on and I like that idea" says Pilati

Karl's favorite for SpringSummer'14

Karl Lagerfeld talks about Chanel's SpringSummer 2014 collection... showcased at the Grand Palais in an 'Art Gallery' with beautiful accessories, colorful painted-eyes with an incredible ready-to-wear collection.
What was uncle Karl's favorite thing?



"My favorite thing is the new necklace like an earphone, it's two huge pearls, but in fact it's very flattering because the huge pearls give a beautiful light on the girl's face."

The Beckham's at Vogue Paris

Numa incrível parceria, Victoria Beckham junta-se a Emmanuelle Alt e a equipa da Vogue Paris, como 'guest-editor' na edição de Dezembro-Janeiro da revista francesa.

Nesta que é sem dúvida a minha Vogue de eleição, surge como convidada uma das designers mais proeminentes, que tem surpreendido críticos, com o seu estilo ecléctico, minimalista e o seu 'effortless chic'.

Marc Jacobs' dixit

"It isn’t a climate thing that should determine our fabric choices. This is a fashion thing. This is about what you want and what appeals to you. I can’t wait until the fall Comme des Garçons or Prada comes into the store. I don’t care if it’s 100 degrees out. I bought this coat three months ago, this winter coat. I couldn’t wear it, but I had to have it. (...)

I was like, I won’t be able to wear this for three to five months, but I don’t care. That’s why I’m buying it—because I want it. Need isn’t the reason for buying fashion. It’s want, desire. (...)

I might ask Nick, who works with me, “I need three new T-shirts, would you order them from American Apparel?” But I wouldn’t go into Prada or Comme des Garçons like, “Gee, I need a floral coat in fur.” It’s a different conversation if you’re a fashion person. I need to eat, but do I need to eat a five-course meal with edible flowers around the plate? That’s probably not what I need in terms of nourishment, but it’s delicious. It’s special that I get to have it, and it’s visually attractive on the plate. It serves a very different purpose, but both are valid. Sometimes I just have to eat because I’m hungry, so I’ll grab anything."

"I have this attitude about being this foreigner in Paris. It’s sort of make believe in Paris. New York is very real to me—it’s where I grew up, it’s where my friends are, it’s where I feel most comfortable. In Paris, I embraced the idea that I lived in this bubble and I always saw Paris the way I wanted it to be…I don’t need to know about politics, I don’t need to know about the economy. I just see what I want to see. I live in this beautiful home on the park that overlooks the Eiffel Tower. I go to work…I make beautiful stuff and then somebody else decides what’s being made, what’s being shipped. There isn’t tension. I saw just what I liked, not having the same emotional attachment to it. I tried to write that in the [Vuitton] program. The love for the superficial is just as real a feeling. That superficiality that I see in Paris is just as real a love as loving something because I have a deep, emotional attachment on a more spiritual level. I don’t want to get all philosophical but it’s very genuine. It’s funny when people feel they have to justify. Love is a feeling. When you love something you feel happy. Happy is happy.

Whether you’re happy in New York because your friends are there and you grew up there, or you’re happy in Paris because the lights at the Place de la Concorde are so beautiful when you drive through. I’ve gone through enough therapy to know that in honoring one’s feelings, you don’t have to assign weight: “I’m happier…” Going with your feelings, honoring your feelings, embracing them, they are just as valid for whatever reason."

E está aqui simplesmente pelo seu estilo.

A simplicidade de combinar o design e a acessibilidade da Zara com Balenciaga, Proenza Schouler, Céline ou Chanel. 

Ela é a miúda com que todas se identificam, e uma das bloggers com mais estilo no momento.
