Fierce spring couture

This is how you hail a cab in the City! 

With some attitude, drama and glamour! :)

For me, alhtough I really support, enjoy, wear and love street style fashion and street inspired looks on runway, couture is the essence of the fashion. It represents dreams and takes you to the world where everything is possible and acceptable.  It is the reason why I love the fashion so much.

My favourite couturist after late McQueen is definitely John Galliano! Here are the looks from his Spring Couture 2011. line. Looks like the trend in fashion's la-la land is fierce, passionate but romantic voluminiousness. :) 

Don't you love it darlings?

"We grow great by dreams. All big men are dreamers. They see things in the soft haze of a spring day or in the red fire of a long winter's evening. 

Some of us let these dreams die, but others nourish and protect them; 

nurse them through bad days till they bring them to the sunshine and light which comes always to those who hope that their dreams will come true."

Puppy love by Di canine couture

I was recently contacted by a lovely lady called Divya Karamchedu. Divya is a recent Parsons graduate and other then her obvious designing talent she has a charity cause which is close to her heart. Her passion about the cause was really inspiring for me, expecially now when in the light of recent economy downturns people often turn to basic survival expenses and worries. 
So it is really refreshing and hopefull to see that there is still sentiment for fighting causes we believe in for creatures and people we love utilizing our education, income and free time.


Divya has lost her puppy Ruby to cancer and in remembrance she started a pet apparel brand - Di Canine Couture.


 Di. couture pledges to donate $5 of every purchase made to SPCA and other Animal rescue organizations. Every piece of puppy clothes is hand made using luxurious fabrics, finest beading and all out couture finishing. 

Bellow you can see some more of Divya's work. Please join Di Canine Couture facebook fan page.


Enjoy lovelies! Good luck with your cause Divya!

I talk to him when I'm lonesome like; and I'm sure he understands.  

When he looks at me so attentively, and gently licks my hands; 

then he rubs his nose on my tailored clothes, 

but I never say naught thereat.  

For the good Lord knows I can buy more clothes, 

but never a friend like that.

Victor de Souza - fashion virtuoso!

   During recently finished Dreft Fashion Week Zagreb I had a pleasure to meet Mr.Victor de Souza and his young and creative team. Other than tremendous talent and obvious endless passion Victor has in his creative expression, for the short time I had a chance to spend with him partying in clubs in Zagreb I must say I was most impressed with his adorable personality, childlike appeal, modesty and friendly character which is why I felt instant fondness and bond with him, which is really unusual for people working in such a busy, competitive and sometimes shallow industry - Victor is just the opposite, with having special sensibility for corporate responsibility and giving back to the community.

Victor's creative, positive and driven team seems to have the right vision in mind when it comes to developing his name and his brand. With such a great celebrity following and larger than life personality, sky is the limit.

Other than being recognized by many celebrities Victor's fabulous pieces appeared on many best magazine covers: Italian Vogue, Amica, Prim Mag, Numero etc.

Last week in Zagreb on Dreft Fashion Week Zagreb we had the opportunity to see his romantic and sensual ready to wear collection for SS 2011. with couture detailing. The collection was made out of 24 evening wear pieces in wide range color pallet and variety of feminine siluetes of architectural design with comprehensive shoulder detailing - a modern dream of every fierce fashionista who is strong with her own view of the world but is also very gentle and passionate in her expression.
