I love Marc Jacobs

Marc by Marc Jacobs s/s 2013


Nobody is as cool, creative and original as the wonderful mr. Marc Jacobs. Come to think that each year he designs 12 -that is TWELVE!- collections, four for each of the brands he is head of design, Marc Jacobs, Louis Vuitton and Marc by Marc Jacobs, makes him the hardest working person in the fashion industry. The fact that he somehow manages to have a different vision for each brand, makes him the most talented designer of his time. My first purchase was a Marc by Marc Jacobs denim logo printed bag, back when the logo was Marc -in bold letters- Jacobs. I loved it and felt so special wearing it, and that was only the beginning. Lots of pairs of shoes came afterwards, flats, flatforms, pumps, rain boots, lots of tshirts too, bags, perfumes and somehow I always felt that Marc "gets me" and I get him. 

" I don't think there is ever a wrong time for a polka dot " Marc Jacobs

"... nor for stripes", he must have thought afterwards and designed his amazing spring/summer 2013 Marc Jacobs collection, with the striped, two piece skirt suits, simple cuts and those four "I-would-easily-wear-this" maxi long sleeved dresses (now available for pre-order through moda operandi ). In the same graphic spirit his Marc by Marc Jacobs line (also available through moda operandi clothes and accessories), came out more young and playful, with mixed patterns and those lovely scarves wrapped around the waist or worn as turbans. So although they were two totally different collections they were somehow coherent. 

Looking forward for the Louis Vuitton show later in Paris, especially after last season's train station extravaganza, I have a feeling this one will be toned down luxury.

p.s. I would like the white/blue checkered satchel, the orange turban , the printed sweater, striped shorts and the boyfriend jeans for next summer. What would you choose?

Fashion's Night Out in Japan



So I was wandering how come both The Chicmuse and Blonde Salad are in Tokyo-Japan, because usually they go to places when something is fashion related. And of course it is. Both these girls and other bloggers are invited to join the celebrations for Japan's Fashion Night Out on the 5 of November. Japan was recently struck by an earthquake and a tsunami as well, and Conde Nast decided to pay extra attention on this FNO, and boost sales as much as they can, since Japan is a very important market. It is today also that they revealed an amazing promo photo of all the editors in chief of the countries were Vogue is published (except Greece's and Brazil's for reasons unknown), headlined by Anna Wintour. It is so nice to see some of the most powerful women in fashion, join their forces!

Christmas windows- Selfridges, London



One thing that makes November interesting is the fact that it is the month before Christmas. It is also the month every big store finds the time to make their most amazing and glamorous window displays. This one is from Selfridges and it's called "White Christmas". This video is from the making of and it's quite amazing. Enjoy counting down the days for Christmas, while wandering around festive decorations!

A car for someone special





The Selby was recently in Rome, Italy to photograph amongst other things, the unveiling of the Maserati GranCabrio Fendi edition. The powerful lady behing Fendi, Silvia Venturini Fendi, is the one responsible for this superlux edition of an already luxurious car. Maserati is well known for the craftmaship and design of its cars, but Fendi took this model one step further. With unique touches such as a gold speckled dark grey paint, extra fine leather with embossed Fendi's double F logo, yellow (Fendi's signature color) touches both on the inside and the outside of the car, plus a limited edition of leather luggage and accessories, it is an individually numbered special edition. Every car made will have a silver oval plaque with the Fendi logo, Maserati Trident and a five digit number on it. Surely one car made for the elite...
