LUCIAN MATIS

Honestly speaking, i don't even know where to start!
Ok, just a couple of hours ago i had an honour to walk in the show that the whole world should have seen because it is THAT GREAT- LUCIAN MATIS!!!

I have had a chance to work with this amazing designer a few times now and every collection always blows me away, really! He manages to stay so unique and offers a great variety of very special pieces. It amazes me how many details he always has in his collection, this time was no exception...And it is important to mention that this season Lucian was showing off site, at the Design Exchange in Toronto during the Fashion Week. And i love it when a designer is showing in a different loctaion since he/she has so much freedom to play with the space:

These letters that spelled Lucian Matis were created by an amazing Neil Schmidt:

Beuatiful make up was done by Smashbox and hair by Schwarzkopf:

Regular black bracelets got bejewelled as well as these nails, shoes and stockings! All done by Lucian Matis and his team! I am just speecheless at the amoutn of details:

Knitted, bedazzled, bejewelled collection that is out of this world! ALL handmade! And soooo COUTURE!And a Gorgeous line up of the models!

On the RUNWAY:

After the show- media time:

Program: I adore Lucian even more for giving a credit to the models: a program with a line up: name/agency:

p.s. i am PROUD to say that LUCIAN MATIS is also making my wedding dress ;)

Tassoni Brazil

It is certainly very nice when after 3 years the designer still wants to book you, only you and noone else :) I've worked with these amazingly talented boys 3 years ago when they launched their jewellery company. However, it's life and not everything went the way it was planned to be. And now they are back again, witha very high end limited collection of beautiful pieces of jewellery in silver, antique silver, gold and rose gold...i LOVE all the pieces!
Joseph and Andre are amazing to work with, very professional and caring. They had an excat image of what they wanted to get from the shoot, and here are some behaind the stage photos, stay tuned for the launch of their web-site and final shots!

Get Inspired and get ready for the Spring/Summer 2011

Spring is in the air, summer is not that far away. Gotta hit some stores and renew your wardrobe! Now, you don't have to copy the looks that we have seen on the runway, you don't have to spend a fortune and buy designer only pieces! Instead, mix and match designer with affordable. Take a look at some of the trends that emerged at S/S 2011 shows and get inspired!

There is something for everyone! Maxi dresses, bellow the knee skirts, ballerina like outfits, tough looks, femine and romantic, all white and bright colours!

bright blue details

A big part of girl's night out is dressing up and getting ready beforehand. So, we planned our outfits, did our make up and hair while sipping on champagne.

Halyna's gorgeous jewellery piece:

Halyna's blue vintage skirt from New York City

So, i matched Halyn a bit with blue details ;)

I decided to go all black with a couple bright details. So, i wore a below the knee black dress from H&M (that i absolutely love cause i wear it for the castings, just rolling it up, with heels, with boots, everywhere!); black vintage belt that i got in Amsterdam; black leather bracelet that i 'stole' from my mom as a kid; turquoise necklace and blue high heeled boots!
