As you might have noticed, I was absent for a while on my blog (except the What’s Hot posts)… Why? I am now in Italy and I just felt like taking a break from everything. But now I am again full of power and energy, so I am ready for the Resort’15 and SS15 show reviews… for a good, fresh start, here are some of my facourite pics from Venice, Florence and Verona!
Making it big for the shows is pretty natural for Karl Lagerfeld, who already took us to St.Tropez, Miami, Antibes and Singapore for his Resort collections. This time, we travelled to Dubai, the city of United Arab Emirates, that’s full of gold, petrol and luxury. So, no wonder… the collection was presented on a special Chanel island, that had a carved double C all over it! However, the collection itself was one of the worst, unfortunately. It didn’t have that Dubai opulence I wished of! It had flowers, moons, Scottish checks, blond version of Diana Ross curls and a lot of strange themes that seemed to be useless. I suppose Dubai summers are so cold you need to wear socks-up-to-knee… I certainly loved the camel gown that Joan Smalls wore with flats and trousers trousers. Oh yeah, trousers- I see Arabian harems are bag in beige! And I am a little bit disappointed that we didn’t see Sebastien Jondeau in a Chanelized sheikh costume. That’s it!
About the artist: Abdul Qader Al Raes is an artist from Dubai made famous by his monumental art works in palaces and distinguished public spaces.
Singapore is the perfect place for great shopping. Full, full of Prada, Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Shopping Malls and possibly everything else, you can shop here till you drop. What’s more- at Prada and Miu Miu you may see even newer clothes than in Europe and US.
Chinatown is also a place to buy more than you have in your wallet. This nice, crowdy district is full of Chinese lampions, Made In China stuff and strange food. It’s pretty amazing how one huge cultural group fit on such small area! Really worth to see.
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.
