New Alaia Store Opening

September 30, 2013September 30, 2013 | Design & Culture by Ed

The long-waited store of Alaia have just opened close to the Avenue Montaigne in Paris. And this is a great occasion because within the day of the opening, Mr. Azzedine Alaia had his amazing exhibition too presented in the Palais Galliera on the same day. The master of perfect dresses that show the sexiest parts of women body, has a really winning year… Now wonder why- he is a real fashion icon, and it’s not a surprise that the designer who has a privilege to show his new collections whenever he wants, is having a second store in Paris opened. The first was his house/studio were you could meet him and see him work ( I was once lucky to have a chance of saying bonjour Mr. Alaia!) on Rue Moussy, and now it’s just next to all these big houses, few meters from Av. Montaigne. And the new boutique is amazing- the design, the colours, the CLOTHES… Simply, I want to Paris!

Munich: (My)Theresa Store

August 10, 2013August 10, 2013 | Design & Culture by Ed

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…

Munich: POOL

POOL Munich is the biggest hotspot for fashionistas… But, sorry to say, but it’s not as good as in past. Now they invest cheaper luxury labels like, everything is very teen and just “hot right now”. But, still I like it! Nowhere else I would buy a Marcelo Burlon new collection T-shirt! The interior is cool, artistic and minimalistic. So, it’s a good place for shopping, if you want to catch up with today’s trend, and on the next day… Forget it.

Munich: Maison Martin Margiela

So, my first favourite place is Maison Martin Margiela boutique, hidden as always from tourists. All in white, with surrealistic furnitures and with mirrors around, you shall see the Moleskine cotton paper notebook and beautiful “things” like shoe candles and ink pens. But, the coolest are of course clothes! For women I found most shoes and bags exciting, and at mens the fur coat stole the spotlight. The service was very nice, and soon you will see what I bought! P.S. I still have white dots behind my eyes of that intense colour use in the store! 😄

Berlin: Saint Laurent Boutique

As Hedi Slimane evolualize Saint Laurent, all the stores worldwide were totally refurnished. Now, all the spaces of that luxurious French house are all in marble and mirrors that I simply love! It’s just the rock and roll aesthetic of Hedi! Simple, minimalistic, but with balls. And the clothes that supply this store in Berlin… Oh my! Thanks to Hedi Slimane I love Mohair! The striped sweaters are really cool… And all these biker jackets! And grunge boots! Aww. ❤❤❤
