Jean Charles de Castelbajac A/W 2012 - Paris Fashion Week.
Talking High Fashion,
Today I had to post this pictures of Jean Charles de Castelbajac from Paris Fashion Week 2012.
I love everything about it. The structure, the prints, the styling, the make up... I love all of it! As usual, Castelbajac comes in very bold with it's architectural shapes and fearless prints and colors while keeping it always very feminine and elegant.
For us here at the colder side of the Atlantic, the bits of Gothic inspiration comes very handy and effortless.
And those prints... Awww, those prints... just can't get enough of it! (Did someone else got a bit of a Marimekko feeling?! ) :D

Custom made from Brazil
Custom made and Environmentally developed handcrafted shoes from Brazil. MUTTA SHOES
It funny but if I didn't know, and someone would tell me it's Finnish design, I would believe it! There is something very Scandinavian about this Sneakers's design all though some of the models carry a very statemental prints, their design is very simple in itself. And the concept behind it is so appealing, the development is generated very closely with the client, making a shoe that will translate a personality. A perfect match! If I may say!
Words from the designer - "
Mutta is an independent project of crafted footwear founded in 2010, created by the designer Matheus Simões Pires Costa of Porto Alegre, Brazil.
The idea of creating Mutta grew out of the difficulty of finding custom models with superior quality.
Mutta Footwear is created in a series of workshops by experienced artisans.
Mutta's creations are focused on quality, originality and uniqueness, “Something classic and crafted with an experimental feel” as Matheus describes.
Mutta's clients belong to a group of creative minds seeking the same goals and ideals as the brand. Mutta is not afraid to try. It promotes a change on the way the user relates to its footwear. The creation is made intertwined with the customer, generating an innovative result.
“It was a natural process. Once I was the one making it, I was able to give people the opportunity of changing the final outcome and that made they want it even more, not only because of the product, because of this involvement on its development”
Products are seen as something completely distant, immutable. Mutta's proposal is exactly the opposite, it seeks the approximation.

Little studio
This is a sad post...
After a whole day of scrubbing my floors and cupboards, I had decided to gift myself a little something.
I had been long waiting for the chance to order something from this lovely online shop "Little studio" and today was going to be the day. When I went online I found out they have said good buy to business and that made me little sad... They had such great unique design, the kind that makes you happy effortlessly! I wish you'll be back with your lovely and fun little things!

Fernando Korpi
Welcome colors!
Last week we met Finnish designer Fernando Korpi for a quick chat and look through his latest productions.
I must say I was amazed by his style! Such a perfect combination of Streetwise, laid back pieces with the structural hint of botton shirts and modern graphic prints... All that combined with a very Northern Finnish inspiration.
So suddle, easy going and yet sharp and stylish!
Good thing husband's Bday is knocking the door and so is Autumn (unfortunately) so is great time for a new hoodie.
*And thank you and lovely girlfriend for such nice time and cutest tote bags! WE LOVE IT!
