PIC OF THE DAY

KIM KARDASHIAN AND KANYE WEST HEAT IT UP ON THE COVER OF L'OFFICIEL HOMMES SPRING 2013

One picture- So much talk. ;) Well this is a classic "love or hate it" situation. What do you think about the cover? I have to admit... I like it! I mean, it's spring, it's passion and it's love. Most importantly it is tasteful, just like L'Officiel. I don't see why this is so offensive. LOL Guys, come on we accepted Anja Rubik and Sasha Knezevic literally trying to make a beautiful model baby on the cover of "Viva", looking a little "caught in the act".  In Russia Viva is the kind of magazine, featured in a cookie commercial, read by a happy family on the couch. But L'Officiel is provocative, super editorial and an ultimate measure when it comes to high fashion magazines. So... let's keep it cool, while Kimye keeps it hot. ;) Make your choice and...

... have a great night)) (via lofficiel.com)

FRIDA KAHLO - QUEEN OF ART AND FASHION

When I was 9 years old, a good friend of mine took me to the cinema... We were on vacation and the hotel had a cute little movie theater on the 16th floor. The movie we watched influenced my entire life in a way. I was always interested in art and enjoyed museums and theater when I was a kid with my mum grandma (who liked to sleep during the plays lol)). So back to that movie: It was Frida. Honestly it messed with my mind in a way. I mean, I was very young and I don't think that a kid can understand all of this at that age. When I watch it now, there is so much more happening inside of me, 'cause now I understand what kind of woman she was: A goddess of art.

In 1907 one of the most influential artists of the 20th century was born in a place called Coyoacán: Frida Kahlo. Her turbulent and wild life had so many ups and downs, so many blows of fate and so many turning points, that I don't find it to be possible to express all that in one single article. Her creative work can be summed up in the following words: Love, Folk Art, Colours, Feminism, Beauty, Passion, Humanism, Unconventionality and a truly Unique Nature. She left a mark on the image of Mexico forever and became a character of inspiration for many artists and designers. Frida is not only an icon of arts but also of fashion. Her style was full of the colours red and green (Flag of Mexico), flowers, incredibly stunning hair accessories and beautiful details. After so many years people still keep paying tribute to this unique woman in arts and fashion and that makes me very happy. This is the true definition of immortality to me- Leaving a mark on the world.

My all time favourite designer duo Dolce & Gabbana always shows a little Frida in the latest collections: The folk charm is another little tribute to the Mexican painter.

Celebrities inspired by Frida Kahlo:

If you guys got interested in Frida Kahlo, I can truly recommend the movie with Salma Hayek, it is a masterpiece! An incredibly authentic portrayal of the Frida's magic.

I wish you all a beautiful weekend and a great relaxing time.

FASHION WEEK SEASON

Hey Dolls, February is coming to it's end. Everyone is expecting the year's most amazing season: The summer! Well everyone except for the fashion industry. It's officially fashion week season. We watch shows, order and preview the new collections. London, Milan, Berlin, Paris and many more offer us some stunning looks. I visited the Munich Fashion Fair last weekend. It was a lot of fun! I met some amazing designers and spotted some pretty wonderful pieces. Besides my old favourites like RED Valentino and MM6 Martin Margiela (Both are going to be so incredible F/ W 2013/14! Guys, you'll love it, Margiela is a killer!), I was also lucky enough to meet some super talented new designers like the breathtaking Antonia Goy and her team. I fell in love with their creations and I will definitely do a post on the label for you guys soon. ;)

But for now let's talk a little more about the fashion week. One of my favourite shows? Marc Jacobs! That was one hot leg show! ;) Amazing. I love the fur creations and all the dark metallic. Marc also keeps up the 'pyjama trend' or how I call it, 'Hugh Hefner trend'. Can't deny, I adore it! That was a show I really enjoyed. Of course we had some hot Tom Ford, Fendi & Gucci in Milan as well. And now we are waiting for Paris. ;)
Last but not least I'm taking you on another little Munich Fashion Tour. Check out the work of our chicest stores: Window Fashion Show! ;)
