Cro-a-porter F-W/12

Prva večer Cro-a-portera održala se u Kući za ljude i umjetnost Lauba na Črnomercu, koja me apsolutno oduševila i da se mene pita, sve revije bih organizirala tamo. Kuća je izgrađena 1910. godine i služila je kao jahaonica u sklopu vojnog kompleksa austrougarske vojske, a kasnije postaje tkaonica Tekstilnog kombinata Zagreb. Odličan prostor i moram otići tamo na neku izložbu da prostor doživim onako kako je planirano.
Uglavnom, večer je bila zanimljiva, iako ne volim kad nešto kasni sat vremena jer se čekaju zvijezde, a za oko su mi zapela tri brenda.

Otvorila ju je revije XD Xenia Design koja je uvijek vjerna svome stilu i u čijim kolekcijama uvijek nađem nešto za sebe. Slijedio je DIORALOP, brend koji stvaraju Andreja Bistričić & Maja Merlić i ovaj put posvećen muškarcima. Već prepoznatljivi printevi na dobrom dizajnu jako su mi se svidjeli, iako u Hrvatskoj nema baš muškaraca koji bi obukli suknju, iako je poznajem dvojicu pravih muškaraca na kojima to izgleda prirodnije nego na meni :) Manekeni su "ukrašeni" lažnim tetovažama i izgledali su baš moćno, što mi se također svidjelo.
Nakon njih uslijedili su Madame Demode & Tamara Bombardelli, gdje sam našla par zanimljivih komada i gdje su mi se posebno svidjele romantične frizure na manekenkama.


The first night of the Cro-a-Porter was held in the Home for people and art in Lauba, which absolutely thrilled me and if you ask me, I would organized all the shows there. The house was built in 1910th year and served as riding spece in military complex in the Austrian army, and later becomes a weaving Textile Combine Zagreb. A great place and I have to go there on an exhibition to see the space as is planned.
Basically, the evening was interesting, although I do not like when something is delayed an hour because they are waiting for the stars. I liked three brands that night.

Show opened XD Xenia Design, which is always true to her style and in whose collections I always find something for myself. Than followed DIORALOP, a brand that create Andrea Bistricic & Maja Merlić, this time dedicated to the men. I really liked already identifiable prints on good design, although I think that there are no man in Croatia who would put on a skirt, although I know two real men which look more natural in a dress than I do :) Models were "decorated" with fake tattoos and looked very powerful, which I also liked.
After them followed Madame Demode & Tamara Bombardelli, where I found a couple of interesting pieces, and where I especially liked the romantic hairstyles on models.

And yes, I really, really, really like this leather jacket :)

I'm back :)

Da, još uvijek sam živa. Posljednjih mjeseci sam radila toliko puno da stvarno nisam imala snage pisati blog kad navečer dođem doma. Em što mi je posao takav da cijeli dan pišem, pa bi se uglavnom malo odmarala od kompa navečer, em ne stavljam svoje outfite nego prenosim modne zanimljivosti na ovom blogu. A da ih prenesem, moram ih prvo naći, a to zahtijeva vrijeme. U svakom slučaju, falio mi je blog cijelo vrijeme, trudila sam se i pratiti sve svoje drage blogove, a i razmišljala sam o svima vama koji ste me iz nekog razloga počeli pratiti, a ja vas zločesta ostavila na cjedilu :)
Uglavnom, večeras sam bila na prvoj večeri Cro-a-portera, ali imam plan napisati vam nešto o tome kada dobijem službene fotografije jer nisam imam fotić sa saobom.
No, do tada sam željela pokazati najbolju kolekciju (naravno, po mom izboru) sa Dove Fashion.hr koji se dogodio prošlog tjedna u Zagrebu. Svi vi koji ste je već vidjeli (a siguro jeste svi iz Hrvatske), ispričavam se, ali stvarno je želim ovdje objaviti, slijedi - LINK by Ogi Antunac i Zoran Mrvoš. Obožavam sve na njoj, kao da su je radili za mene - crno, koža, šljokice i prelijepi lepršavi materijali :)
P.S. Svaka čast i svim blogericama koje su sudjelovale u reviji Aleksandre Dojčinović, sve su bile prelijepe i sigurno im nije bilo lako izaći pred sve te ljude po prvi puta u životu u ulogi manekenki. Divne ste bile :)

Yes, I'm still alive. I've been working so hard last few mounths that I just couldn't write blog when I come at home in the evening. But I've been thinknig of you all of the time, so here's something from me.
Tonight I've been on the first night of Cro-a-porter, but I have a plan to write you something when I get official photos because I didn't have my camera with me.
But till then, I want to show you the best collection (my choice, of course) from Dove Fashion.hr, that happend last week in Zagreb. All of you who already seen this collection, sorry, but I really want to publish it, here it is - LINK by Ogi Antunac and Zoran Mrvoš. Like they made it for me with all that black, leather, fluttery materials...

Win Balenciaga Arena Giant City

For a quite some time I dream about one bag - Balenciaga. Damn credit for the flat, doomed crisis and perpetual lack of money kept me away from this dream, but Fashion Chalet gives me a chance to have that dream come true. I know all of you girls love that bag to, so hurry over here http://www.fashionchalet.net/2012/01/giveaway-balenciaga-arena-giant-city.html and try your luck. I know I will :)

Happy new year to all

Dear fashionista,

I wish you a happy new 2012. I hope it will be great year for all of us. Have a wonderful night, dance and laugh all the time :)

Kisses :*

Dreft Fashion Week Zagreb - Day 3.

Well, all three days of Dreft Fashion Week Zagreb finished, as I already said it was well organized event. I did not appreciate too many collections, I would buy just few pieces, and the third day was definitely the best. I'm not expert for fashion, don't get me wrong, but my personal opinion is that the organizers could find much better designers. but I appreciate all the effort that the designers have put into creating their own collections, and certainly everyone will find his customer, because, ultimately, we all have different tastes. All in all, I'm happy I had a chance to enjoy this event.

Pa, sva tri dana Dreft Fashion Weeka Zagreb su gotova, i kako sam već prije rekla, riječ je o dobro organiziranom događaju. Nije mi se svidjela većina kolekcija, ali postoji nekoliko komada koji su mi zapeli za oko, a mislim da je treći dan bio najzanimljiviji - osim ako nije krivo ono vino sa Festivala vina :) (šalim se). Nisam neki stručnjak za modu, i nemojte me shvatiti krivo, ali mislim da su organizatori mogli naći i bolje dizajnere (ne bih sve zamjenila, naravno). Ipak, cijenim trud koji je svaki od dizajnera uložio u stvaranje svojih kolekcija i vjerujem da će svatko od njih naći svoga kupca, jer, na koncu, svi imamo različite ukuse. Ali, sve u svemu, sretna sam što sam imala šansu uživati u ovom događaju.
