Munich: Gold Rush!
The AW13 Prada collection is beautiful, but I didn’t thought that it so to that level! In the Munich Prada store I was really shocked with the beauty of the shows, coats, furs and dresses. Everything is so fragile and girly… The must haves for sure are the runway heels, and plaid skirt and a green runway jacket that looked really fantastic! And the men’s boots…
Louis Vuitton also has some golden treats for everyone! Their Dinosaur window displays are all in gold, and are really mind blowing! The pre-fall collection presented on the mannequins had it’s spotlight totally stolen by these big decorations!
Munich: (My)Theresa Store
Munich is a great place for visiting, not only because of the great museums and monuments, but also for superb shopping! Today I will show you my three favourite places up here! And, if you want to see what is in stores, just see the labels on my Pages footside!
If you are familiar to on-line shopping, you for sure know the German site Mytheresa, which has all the coolest and luxurious labels in one place! As the site is based in Munich, there is a store called Theresa that is like a real world shop! Well, it’s really good for health after shopping online… Theresa store has the hottest shoes in their accessorise part, like Prada booties or Louboutin high heels. Labels like Miu Miu, Celine, Saint Laurent, Altuzarra, Alexander McQueen and Balenciaga will be found in a warm, huge space, covered with pink velvet… Its a REAL, not virtual, fashion paradise! If only Net-A-Porter had it’s real store…

This fall-winter season Anthony Vaccarello displays a new take on his signature sexy rocker style. The collection displays clean, almost rigorous lines in a two-tone that includes only black and white. Sexy dresses, angora pullovers, masculine suits show leather and brass metal embellishments and sensual slits leaving little to the imagination. Fall-Winter collection 2013-14” This sexy Anthony Vaccarello skirt from Colette with price tag of 2000 euro is the season’s must have!
If Mendini was REI.
Yesterday in the evening I was viewing my old photographs from New York, just you know, for pleasure. But pleasure changed into inspiration. I found a small pic of a Mendini sculpture that is located in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The colors, shape just stunned me. I was like, Oh my this Alessandro Mendini things is amazing. I took out my book about this designer that I bought in NY, and was like again, Oh my this is incredible. Yes, Alessandro Mendini is a amazing designer from Italy, that was not designing anything functional but just beautiful and experimental. He used some extraordinary creatures on his furniture and strong colors everywhere! He was bored with our grey existence, and decided to do something nobody else before. But, now, you for sure ask a question, why is a Comme des Garcons AW13 show snap doing on this post? Because my quirky imagination thought of this crazy collection and Mendini’s designs together! Rei Kawabuko is Comme des Garcons designer from the beginning, and her clothes are like a origami- always aesthetic and sophisticated. This season was about making a mascuine jacket an origami. Sounds strange. But as you see, looks great! And the prints plus forms are so similar to Mendini’s! Wow!
