Saint Laurent Boots

August 3, 2013April 30, 2014 | Design & Culture by Ed

For two months I am a number one fan of Saint Laurent AW13 collection by Hedi Slimane. I am in love to death with the California grunge inspired looks full of checks, leather and mini dresses. And these LA musician influenced boots are like the best thing in the collection. But why the #%^*@ are they so, so expensive? Hey, 5685€ is alright? No, not Hedi is mad Cathy Horyn, but the person that is dealing with commercial part for SL. These boots with the “DIY” decoration are beautiful, but not for 5000 and more euros. But, Slimane thought of more normal people and created the cheaper version of these boots for 1500€- without anything special. Just black, normal grunge boots. This is not same effect, but what shall I do? Still cool… 😋😋😋😋

Criminal. Yazbukey AW13

Yazbukey AW13 Jewellery collection was like one of Agatha Christie criminal stories- mystery and kind of… Beautiful! In the range of products we can find everywhere a magnifying loop motive, a writing machine that bring memories of Poirot’s secretary, Mrs. Lemon favourite object… There was also a cool POISON bag and lots of beautiful foulards full of colours… 📼🎥🔫💎

Balenciaga Cut-Out Boots

The Balenciaga cut out leather boots have just arrived! Lena already matched them up with her Falke pink socks, and the effect looks very rebel and grunge! These shoes are heaven. Although very hard because of the leather and metal elements, they are never out of fashion (even if Alexander Wang is at Balenciaga) and are classical models. So that’s really good then! And they make so much to think about… Plus, then picture under may give you clues where I am going to in two weeks… Just one thing still is quarrelled about. Are these Summer or Winter shoes? 😄❤

The Anglican Romance

July 15, 2013 | Design & Culture by Ed

I’ve got a serious fuse about Alexander McQueen Pre-Fall, Menswear and Womenswear AW13. Sarah Burton’s Anglican inspired romantic dresses for Pre-Fall are pure gothic chic with the minimalistic ends and beautiful details. The menswear was full of strained glass print full of oranges and reds. And the smokings looked really great! But best of all was the ten look collection of the main line at women… The fur, feathers, pearls, leather… What a beautiful collection! I really love the Sarah Burton gothic influence, and the hairstyles are really great… More soon…

Collection AW13: Saint Laurent

July 12, 2013July 13, 2013 | Design & Culture by Ed

Saying that Hedi Slimane is lazy, as wrote Cathy Horyn, is a simple bah. A guy who redesigns everything from the logo to the showroom furnitures in his boutiques of Saint Laurent, doesn’t seem to be lazy at all. Hedi Slimane did a huge revolution at Saint Laurent and in fashion world, that seemed to be very peaceful comparing AW13 with the grunge/punk/Roc &Roll collection. And in reality, Slimane didn’t do this for more controversy- no, it’s all simply his aesthetics. When the designer of SL is not at work, he isn’t kissing Pinault’s ass for money but hangs out with friends/musicians in LA! So there is nothing that is done for more money. Well it is, but it’s not enforcing. People will still buy this kind of Yves Saint Laurent. So, Saint Laurent by Hedi Slimane wins the second place in AW13 ranking of best collections!
