The hottest art
I have already mentioned trend to wear sweatshirts, which are conquer a catwalks not for a first time. Celebrities, bloggers, and fashion addicts consider them as glam as they are comfortable. However i suppose that the new black is painterly clothes. Fragments of the triptych «The Garden of Earthly Delights» by Hieronymus Bosch were used on dresses in 2012 (Carven) and now we can see echoes of the past on sweatshirts. Classics is actual again — paintings of Raphael, Caravaggio and Perugino prove it, they had left museums and gradually moved to our bodies. (Aloha from deer) (Sugarpills Clth) Apart from the traditional vision designers offer to wear a variety…

Say ‘No’ to dresses with me
I am tired to celebrate every New Year in dress, something should be changed. Every year i see a lot of girls in uncomfortable dresses and shoes. What is the stereotype to wear dresses, false lashes and heels-killers? In Russia we also have traditions to eat salad Olivier, drink a lot of alcohol, listen congratulations from the president and sleep under the Christmas tree. Just try to combine these two trends and imagine how blue and gloomy is it. My thoughts and sadness about these patterns bring me up to this article. Thus, I’m going to offer you my ideas, what we can wear this wonderful night. Of course there…

Checkered world
Fashion for the checkered texture leaves us with a reproach for a bad taste, but it always comes back, crashing out of the blue. However, the most interesting thing is forms that are filled with a wide color range of tartan fabric. One of the most outstanding collections fall / winter 2013 — 2014 was the Moschino fashion show. The collection looks more like a carnival thematic: either Royal Guards have dressed high-heels shoes, or the Scottish horsewoman have had a party before the show jumping. The clothes are beautiful, elegant, but sometimes very artsy and pretentious. On the other hand mass-market produces beautiful and interesting models for adequate price category. More recently, we…

«A women needs ropes and ropes of pearls» said beautiful Coco Chanel and she was right. Chanel has carried out a revolution in the minds of women all over the world. Now, naked woman is not considered as a nude woman, but woman without a pearl necklace is. Have you ever thought about the origin of this jewelry?

Crazy for art
Recently I’ve been thinking how to make print in the form of Michelangelo’s frescoes on my sweatshirts, and world designers almost in unison decorated their collections by the famous paintings. Skirts look like naturalistic paintings, dresses with accurate brushstrokes and tops with surrealism — it’s definitely cool! The first thing what attracted my attention was a winter 2014 collection of Dolce and Gabbana. There are no words to describe my feelings for it. It is indescribably beautiful, elegant and has a national flavor. Montreal cathedral frescoes, crowns, luxury and gold. Certainly it is divine. Givenchy Men’s collection caused a serious religious scandal. Tisci borrowed the images of saints from William Bouguereau. Fragments of the «Pieta»…

Perhaps one of the most summer trends, bright, juicy and creating a holiday mood is a tropical print. Apart from the floral print it took the top place on the catwalks of the world. We admire and wear floral print for several seasons in contrast to tropical. This year, designers presented palm trees, exotic animals and birds in all summer collections, and the next summer season promises to be even more interesting. Speaking about this season, I’d like to highlight the mass market. The most interesting collections was Zara, H&M and River Island. It was the really great look at the youth and summer fashion trends. Starting from the swimwear and finishing with trousers…

Twist&tweed
Tweed is a rough woollen fabric, which is made by a special unfinished technology. It has a open, flexible texture and possibility to create direct lines. Unusual color combinations are obtained by twisting together differently coloured woollen strands into a two-or three-ply yarn. Originally tweed called twill, but it has received a different name because of the randomness and mistakes of a merchant. It`s not surprise that the birthplace of tweed is Scotland. In those days the economy has grown at the expense of woolen industry, the Scots are also famous for their delicious kilts. This fabric is a source of British national pride in the same list with the whiskey and kilts. The…

Returning to Rome
This season, Tom Ford gave us a real surprise — the gladiator’s shoes. Black, white, gold, silver …. We can dress them up and go for a female fights in the coliseum, we can go to the store for milk, or watch them at home. To be honest, for me, this thing has remained unclear, but it looks stunning. In ancient Rome, in Latin, these shoes called Calceus (calcei): the shoe that covered the whole foot compared to the sandals. It was laced shoes with the separate inner and outer soles, straps were wrapped around the leg. Slaves were not allowed to wear these boots. Belts could be up to…
