Julien David is now one of the newest hotttest designers! The SS13 collection, showed that Julien has his own style, and wants to show off his inspirations of childish life. Lots of dinisaurs, toys, ink prints on shirts and tops- as he called the collection- “spoiled kids”! And this transparent black top with red sign DINOSAUR is just so great! Available still on Colette!

Vika Gazinskaya and Marc Jacobs: The Furry Friends

IMG_2767The 2013/14 season is really full of fur! After Altuzarra and Alexander Wang who showed their fur gloves (these are gonna be a real must have!) and coats, Donna Karan and Jason Wu had their beautiful fur scarves, and the best of all who really challanged the fur trend was Marc Jacobs! In his romantic collection he shown amazing furry scarves but with real foxy faces and tails! marc-fur1marc-fur2But then, few days later, Buro 24/7, a really good fashion site by Miraslava Duma, took us behind the scenes of Vika Gazinskaya show that will soon come in Paris. Vika Gazinskaya really messed up this year, she is available on colette and soon on net-a-porter.com. So coming back to the topic, Vika showed her collection and it was full of… scarves with foxy faces, but in a eco way! She says that it’s idea of respect for the animal but in a fashionable way! “I believe that fashion can make not only the skins of dead animals, but their clever imitation” and this is what she said in her interview. And I can’t say it’s copying Marc Jacobs or something- both ideas looking the same but still, have different message.IMG_2816IMG_2853IMG_2704IMG_2731IMG_2878

Paris: Day 8

Ok. The first thing, today that caught my eye were the new Chanel shoes from Resort 2013. They look really great, they have a real Street Style feeling!

20121109-073109 PM.jpg
That was the most “touristic” day! I went to… three museums! All of them were great, full of interesting pieces and topics!
1. Le Pinacoteque De Paris: Van Gogh and Hiroshige “Reves de Japon” and Denis Rouvre “Low Tides”
Both expositions were inspired with Japan. In the first one, were the Dutch artists paintings were compared to Hiroshige’s, we could see some big similarities between both very different artists. We are talking about the tematics and positions of objects and people in the art pieces.

Denis Rouvre’s photographies of Japanese people after the disaster in 2011 were really great because of perfect photography skills and people. That was mine favourite exposition today!

For lunch I went to Hotel Costes that’s totally the same as L’Avenue. So it must be good.

20121109-075909 PM.jpg
As for a shop with GOOD things I recomend warmly La Pistacherie where you can buy every type of pistaccio and nuts, from sicilian pistachio to green pistachio.

20121109-080058 PM.jpg
For the last dinner we went to L’Atelier de Joel Robuchon. It’s the best restaurant in Paris for me! And I ❤ Paris the most of all. I hate the thought, that I need to departure tomorrow… No! Paris is full of fashion, restaurants, art and it’s atmosphere is even better than NY. I am really sad to leave you, City of Love!😥
J’adore Paris…

Before lunch we had a walk around Montaigne. Then we went to the Septime on 80 rue Charonne. It’s the most difficult to get restaurant in Paris. The food was quite good however very simple. We ate a farm chicken with different kind of roots, veal tatar, merlu and a salad with black sausage. A really traditional farm food!

For dinner we went to Japanese restaurant, Kinugawa. It was good, but not so… WOW. Sushi was like sushi, there was no tuna, other dishes similar to NY ones, and the waiters were really rude and uncultural…
However It was an awesome day in Paris!

Paris: Day 6

20121107-081308 PM.jpg
At the beginning of the day we went with Rubi on a walk to the Tuileries Jardins. There was a beautiful weather and the Eiffel Tower looked amazing… It was really sunny and warm!

After, we went with ower Parisian friend to l’Avenue on Montaigne. The food was as always delicious. I ordered my favorite thai chicken rolls and butterfly chicken organic with mango spicy dressing. Next, we went to Grand Palais on an exhibition of American artist, Edward Hopper. The exposition was really nice, the works of this great artist were awesome. And here are few photos of the works (some are mine and some from internet+the Grand Plalais building).

I ordered the Caramel Balls with cream…

Because we’ve got really tired of walking, caught a taxi and went Le Bon Marche. It is a great place for shopping in Paris such brands like Proenza Schoulers, Alaia and Maison Martin Margiela. It is beautifully decorated now, because of it’s 120th Brthdays. It. Contains an cosmetic section, clothes and accesories.

For dinner we chose Akrame. The Best Restaurant in Paris for Now!!! The food is delicious, and there was the 5 plate surprise menu… We tried the beef from Galicia in Spain, that was dried on stones 120 days on sun, in the mountains. Wow! The food is just perfect, every potato and salad is on it’s right side of the plate.
