Singapore, city of high fashion has one of the most amazing architectural gem in it’s collection- specially designed Louis Vuitton store on Marina Bay Island. This store has three floors of luxury bags, shoes, menswear and womenswear. Full for art pieces and typical LV logo, the store shows off pure luxury. Known for it’s glass construction and geometrical form, it’s called a tourist attraction! Awesome place…
Singapore, the city of technology is not only known for the Infinity pool located at the top of Bay Marina but…Geoducks! Did you know something like this exist? I don’t know how to describe it- sticky, with a shell and shaped like one of the male’s organ… The sashimi made of it at the Long Beach restaurant was delightful. And this place is the best restaurant serving seafood in Singapore for about 70 years… If you visit to Singapore, you need to come here for some culinary experience. By the way- this place is crazy and so Avatar! My hotel (Marina Bay Sands) and the Super Trees look impressive.
The SS14 by Victoria Beckham has it’s own, minimalistic mood, that I truly love. And by saying minimalism, I don’t mean the one that is presented at Celine or Jil Sander- Victoria, throughout the seasons sculpted her own style vision, that she’s devoted to in every collection and her everyday style. Kept in mostly black & white colours, the fuxia bright truss patterns on the shirts and skirts simply took all the brave away in the middle of the show. The jackets, bags and shoes looked all pretty comfortable, while the whole collection had it’s architectural, sharp cut in it. Victoria Beckham’s SS14 is a collection by strong women, who mixes work and family in a great style. By the way- the opening of the show was amazing- thanks to Edie Campbell, and the beautiful white-jacket-black-trousers outfit she wore!
–Body Pressure– Sculptures since the 1960’s examines the many different approaches to the human figure in contemporary sculpture through a selection of works from the collections of the National Galeries in Berlin. Free of any exhibition architecture, the expansive Historic Hall is transformed into a light-flooded “sculpture garden”. Often fragmented and abstract the figurative sculpture of the present always negotiates our contemporary social and cultural context.

Victoria Beckham did a really good job with her SS14 collection! It’s very in her style, minimalistic and beautiful. The collection was inspired with modern architecture- easy forms, black & white colours, truss triangle pattern on bags and dresses and many other showed the things that influenced Vicky’s clothes for Summer. But, although the collection is pretty warm (come on, golf sweaters?) and cold at the same time (well, these colours would for sure better match the next winter!), the collection is very good and I like it! The opener of the show was of course the new muse of Beckham, Edie Campbell, the British beauty, that season before was together with Cara Delevigne in every campaign and show!
