Milan: BULGARI Hotel

August 21, 2013August 21, 2013 | Design & Culture by Ed

Yes! This is the best hotel in Milan- THE BULGARI HOTEL & RESORT! This place is bringing up biggest fashionistas during fashion weeks, super-stars and many more. I am always feeling so relaxed after few days here… Located in the centre of the the city, it’s just few steps from Giorgio Armani imperium with Armani Libre, Armani Cafe, Armani Fiore, Armani Tech, Armani Perfumes, Armani Blah-Blah and Blah plus hundreds of Pradas and Guccis. But that ain’t important for the moment. The hotel is owned by Bulgari (yes, this Bulgari) and it is simply a state of luxury! The rooms are all beautiful decorated with chocolate, beige and black colours, all supplied with Bulgari books. In big lobby you shall get some cold tea, and the breakfasts… Oh the breakfast… They are great. You won’t find better place in Milan for great relax!

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… 😋😋😋😋

Berlin: The Celine Pre-Fall

In the new Celine section in Kadewe, Berlin, the Pre-Fall collection arrived. Well, should say that on pictures all these clothes and shoes look real good- but live- and mostly the shoes!- it all looks horrible. First of all, the lacquered shoes with gold plate on it are very hard. The plate is additionally removable, and it looks like a typical men’s shoes! The black/white wedges are also a tragedy! The rubber wedge is made definitely from a tire or something because the odour from it is saw disgusting! The only cool thing was the thatched hat from the collection that is made in France! It is saw French! And stylish! But still, very not practical.

N.1 Collection AW13 Celine

July 11, 2013August 31, 2014 | Design & Culture by Ed

Autumn Winter 2013 has a N.1 collection that beat all others- it’s of course Celine! No one else could be better than this Parisian label. With it’s geometrical tops, changing forms skirts, fur dresses and up-the-knee leather boots, Phoebe Philo’s collection just couldn’t be a un success. The triangle handbags in checks or leather look very refreshing, just as the creme pistachio coloured coat! And the grey dress with tied sleeves in the front is more a conceptual art, than a casual costume for everyday! The campaign starring Daria Werbowy by Juergen Teller is simple and very sensual- as always beautiful and fragile! Bravo to the winner of AW13!
