Miu Miu Fall 2012 RTW

After skipping the spring's runway for Miu Miu, which I didn't much tbh, the fall collection caught my attention again.

Here are the 3 designs I liked the most:

I recently opened a Society6 account, so now you can buy this illustration as a print, iphone case or skin or as a postcard!

You can see the whole show in this Youtube video

Miumiu Fall 2011 RTW

This post was supposed to be posted more than half a year ago, but I never got around to do it.
And seeing as how I absolutely can not like Miu miu's Spring 2012 collection, except for the shoes and some of the purses, this is a nice reminder of the season that's ending.

These are some of my favorites from the collection.

Miumiu goes online

I promise a much more extensive kind of posts (with lots pictures and yumminess) coming this next weeks, but just to try and not lose the posting spirit, I'll post this candy.

Miumiu (I bet you're tired of reading me talk about them all the time) opened their online store yesterday.
Yes, the most pretty stuff just a click away.

The store opened with their SS 2011 collection, and I'm so tempted (really, I just need the money) to get all I've been dreaming about.

Would I dare get them for 400€? I'm afraid I'd get them if I had the chance to try them... *throws wallet as far as possible*

When fashion meets cinema. Miu miu, Chanel and Tom Ford

Miumiu released their first short a few weeks ago featuring the Spring 2011 collection.
"The powder room" is the first of a serie of short films called "The women's tales", and it looks very promising. And directed by Zoe Cassavetes.

You can see the video in Miumiu's homepage, or find it on Youtube. Or just keep reading.



Chanel also released a stop motion animation by Peter Philips and Nowness, to promote the brand's make-up line.
You don't need much description, since the video's coming right now. Just enjoy the cheerfulness!



It's not, by far, the first movie/animation/short film by Chanel, since it's widely known (or not?) how mister Lagerfeld likes to film. It's up to you to think if they are as weird as some people say, if they're nice, or just pretty in their very own way.



This next short animation's music's so cute, I had to include it in the post! (made for V magazine). Also for Chanel.



Tom Ford's a Single man must be one of my favorite movies (I've already seen it more than thrice since I got on it on DVD a couple of weeks ago!).
If you haven't seen it yet, I don't know what you're waiting for. It's not just the story, it's the music, the clothes, the light and the colors. And the emotions and feelings that get to you while watching it.



Tom Ford really makes you wonder, why more creators, aside movie-related people, don't make movies (lack of time maybe? haha).
But I really think, movies are not just a way to express one's ideas or feeling. It's also a way to collect a lot of pretty feelings and images and share them. And pretty doesn't just mean flowers in a garden. Prettiness can be found in everything and everywhere.


This is the truth about my first encounter with A single man. I went to see the movie just for this guy. And two hours later I was out of the cinema and the only thing I wanted to do was watch the movie two or three times again in a row.

Mister Ford, do make another movie as as possible!

Miu miu SS 2011 - Ready to wear show

I've been meaning to post this since the Miu miu spring 2011 show a few weeks ago, but drawing and editing takes its time and I didn't finish this until yesterday! And I'm glad it took that much time, because my view on the collection changed a bit since I first saw it. So here are my thoughts on it.

I'm not completely in love with it, but I like it more since the first time.
Yes, the jackets are still awkward and the dresses don't look flattering even in small bodies, but now that I'm used to the collection, everything looks more pretty now.
And the shoes aren't that bad.

Four of my favorite looks from the collection. I really liked the third coordinate, including the shoes. Specially the neck of the shirt.
What I didn't like very much were most of the skirts. Too straight and didn't move with the model's body (not all of the skirts did that, luckily).

One thing that stood out while watching the show was how similar are some motifs to Irregular Choice's designs, mainly the stars.

The bags remind me greatly of Victor Horta/Hector Guimard's Modernism. Not all of them, there are some horrible bags thrown into the collection, but a few of them do.

This is not one of the ugly bags, for example.

Also, the loved-by-everyone swam dress and the snake dress remind me of Aubrey Beardsley's drawings. Yup, as I was saying, hello modernism (flowers everywhere too).

Third look, a skirt that looked good, and one of my favorites. Jacked included.
I'd really like to see someone on the streets wearing one of those awkward jackets. They are pretty but the shape is too weird. Like if the person wearing it was an american football player.

Some of the dresses made the models look like they were wearing plastic bags, not very flattering. On the other side, dresses like the swam ones were loose, which looked good.

What I love from the dresses is how, by using the belt, it makes the body shape stand out, and actually showing some shape, even if the models are so thin they have almost no curves. But I think that is a nice contrast. Straight forms are nice, but a bit of shape is pretty too.

Shoes on a close note.
But I'm in love with the shoes, I ought to confess. The color choice may not be the best at times, but putting that aside, I've come to like them a lot. In fact, shoes were the first thing I came to like from this collection.

Again, something that could came from an Irregular Choice shop, but that's something I don't really mind at all (any other IC fan out there?)

Ok, I have to admit defeat. After drawing them, and having to stare at them for a long while, I can say I love them.
Find them all here.

Clutches, are you sure they are?

If you look at how models hold the bags, you think they're clutches, don't you?
I like them, a lot. I went from "ergh!" to "I want this and this and this. And I don't like this color but I want it too". But maybe they're too big to just hold them all the time.
Even more if you're like me, whose purse gets full even when going out for a couple of minutes.

Seeing how long the straps are, you might even be able to hand them on your shoulder? That would be great.

All the bags from the show here.

And following, the video for the whole show.
The lightning is not the best, and maybe the whole ambience is a bit depressing, but anyways, it's worth watching it.



All the models were walking so awkward... nothing strange seeing how tall the heels were, but still, it looked weird. Distracted me at times.
Loved the make up, though. Nothing complex, but stunning. Cute.


You know those times when you dress, not thinking about how others see you, instead you dress up just for yourself, thinking about that movie you saw last weekend that you liked so much and that left a big impression on you, and then you go to a party dressed like that not giving a shit about the world? Well, that's the impression this collection gives me.

Now, your thoughts on it?

Zipper report. August and September.

I'm not fully back yet from my little break, but I have some free time and I wanted to post all this eyecandy you're about to see!

Wow, magazines come out faster than what I can read! (this, or I'm just lazy...)
Anyways, August and September's Zipper commented in this post, since I've seen a few things that catched my attention.

There are so many cuties on the August issue! I love to see pretty girls, and so, I have to share them with you all! Plus, nice hair arranges.

Love these girl's lips!

Plus, inspiring coordinates.

I love those kind of pages where they feature a piece of clothing being worn in diferent types of coordinates, or worn in a girlish and boyish way. So interesting!

How cute is the coordinate from the top left??

I love Amo's coordinate in this shot, looks so comfortable and so pretty at the same time!
And the sailor one is my most favorite from this batch. Everything just looks so right! Love love love!

And, new brands and shops I didn't know about!
So many pretty cute wonderful and sweet stuff.

From September's issue, all I can say is, MILK's autumn collection! Featuring Amo! She looks a bit weird in the pics though. Weird meaning, she doesn't look like her. Cute anyways c:

Also, some really cute coordinates in mori style. Some great inspiration, really!

Socks+pretty shoes steal my heart, really.
And I want to steal those red miu miu bloomers.


Too dark for me to be mori girl, but super cute nonetheless.
I love the red accent on the monotone coordination.

And my favorites.

This coordinates probably have almost everything I like. Soft colors, ruffles, pretty shoes, socks, vest, fur, skirts, brown, frills, lace and white. Aaaaahn... ♥

Fur is going to be trendy this year too, and I can totally see it.

You can download August and September's issues here.

I'm downloading Mina now, just to see how it is. Never read it, so surprise surprise! But the cover looks cuuute, so I kinda expect it to be something between Vivi and Spoon maybe?
(btw, expect a post about Spoon soon! tehee)

And one last thing, remember Laurita's giveaway?
Well, the good news are, I'm the winner! I can't believe it yet! haha
First time ever I win a giveaway!

Miu miu fall/winter 2010-2011

I'm not really inspired to blog today (I had several posts in mind, but that would take time, and it's too hot right now, no strengh haha) but I wanted to post something anyways, since you know, once you stop doing something, you stop doing it forever!! D:

So I got today in the mail the video about Miu miu's 2010/2011 fall/winter collection.
The videos and my thoughts about it coming next.

I love the shoes. And I like the make up. And I find some of the models are pretty cute. Not much more to say.

But I have to say I like the shoes. Wait a few weeks and I'll be loving them.

Miu Miu - Fall Winter 2010/2011 Full Fashion Show Part 1

The dresses are nice. Retro-ish and simple with a blink here and there. And flowers.
Pretty black coats. I love the rhinestones and the cut for most of them.
Didn't like much the orange pieces. Just because I don't like orange. Have they been... any other color, I would have loved them.
What I didn't like at all were those ribbon collars. And I usually love anything that has to do with ribbons! hah Just, not this time.

Miu Miu - Fall Winter 2010/2011 Full Fashion Show Part 2

The dresses were something really pretty. I wouldn't mind getting the lavender one. Obviously with matching shoes.

What gave me the creeps were the girl's legs. I know they're models, they ought to keep thin, and all that old story, but I got too distracted by their legs and didn't focus too much on the clothes. Is that what they want??
They al look like they're gonna break at any moment, and this distracts me too much D:

So, overall comment? I'd love to go to my job interviews dressed in this collection. I'd feel like the fuckin' queen and get all the jobs. haha

On a side note.

This pic is from Amo's blog. You know, that girl that's appearing constantly in Kera, is Monomania's spokegirl (kind of haha) and is on Angelic pretty's ads every now and always.
Don't know much about what's going on here, something about Barbie's cosmetic line (this thingie in the pic is a powder in a stick form) at Plaza.
But I love the drawings in the background. Good old Barbie!
