Everlasting Gatsby

??????????????? miafarrow in great gatsby20s (3) I don’t get why the most glamourous fashion movement ever went out of style at some point, like why don’t we wear pearl and rhinestone headpieces, flapper dresses and feather coverups all year long? No other decade could top the 20′s, and I don’t believe anything else will be able to. I’m just like Gil in Midnight in Paris, hopelessly stuck in the era – luckily for the past 2 years we are able to adjust and keep it alive thanks to the vicious cycle of fashion and also to The Great Gatsby the most.

I still haven’t watched the movie, which kept us waiting for more than a year, it still haven’t opened in Canada – but we’ve all been exposed to its fashion excessively, something I’m not sure if is good for the movie or not. But what I’m sure is that it works very well with our wedding – prom season gusto. Let’s embrace this magnificent era in every way possible – headbands, jewelry, dresses, shoes, bags and more…

Orient Express

orient inspired editorialsorient on the runway orient shoppingIf I were to make a public opinion poll (among fashion public of course) about the biggest trend that is taking hold of our wardrobes and magazine pages; the answer would be obvious: modern minimalism. (Gotch’ya.) But if I were to ask the most powerful influence on fabrics, cuts and prints; the answer is inarguably the oriental inspiration.Whether you associate it with satin, dragons, assymetrical skirts, getas, floral embroideries, kimonos, sumo belts or chopsticks – it has probably already had you under its spell.

While – I have to admit yet again – Zara has everything you can search for; I recommend you to hit etsy or local vintage shops for genuine kimonos. If you are ready to splurge; Haider Ackermann and Damir Doma are, in my opinion, the leaders of the trend this season. There are also the Prada shoes, but… you know, I can not ask anyone to grab a pair and wear them to..well..anywhere. Kudos to people who can pull THAT off, meanwhile, let’s see my little shopping guide for asian inspired fashion (and some street style photos from the pros to guide through the way.)

Having a Denim Affair

Hey folks. Here I am to discuss one of the biggest problems of our century: Is denim on denim cool or tacky? It would have been so much better if I could open the argument with a photo of my dad wearing denim on denim, unfortunately I don’t have access to family photo albums right now, so you just have to imagine it. I know, shame.

The furthest I could go was this, light denim on white denim. Which basically isn’t like denim on denim to me. But I don’t understand; we can wear black on black, white on white, even prints on prints now. What makes this American tent canvas so special yet equally disturbing that its impossible to combine together? Even after its officially declared as a trend, more than half of the population is unsure. I’ve made totally reliable surveys.

I personally like denim on denim IF its weared by the right people, with the right pieces and the right shades. It’s like rocket science. I don’t think I could ever do it, but I have to state that the styles and oufits I like the most are usually the ones that I couldn’t or wouldn’t wear myself – because I don’t think I could pull it off. This is no exception. I mean, how could I possibly look near as cool as Jenna Lyons?
