Coco Rocha dancing for Jean Paul Gaultier

I found this video the other day, it's from last year, and just thought it was hilarious. Coco had already danced before at Jean Paul Gaultier Fall-Winter 2007, and she did it again. Jean Paul Gaultier is really fun and relaxed, and I think we definitely see this kind of energy reflected in his designs. And of course we love Coco Rocha, and so the designers, cause she's got an awesome personality, that can truly bring something to the table. And she's funny.

THE leather jacket

The leather jacket

 

So I recently got myself a new leather jacket and I'm totally in love with it, even if it's like a 100 degrees outside my house, I'm seriously thinking about turning the air conditioner on so I can wear it. 

Yes, I know, everyone's talking about it... well we'll talk some more.

The thing about the leather jacket, is that it’s a classic, very characteristic style item, it has survived and co-lived hand by hand with fashion, without really being the outshine of it, that’s why a leather jacket will NEVER be an old trend. There are girls that are wearing their mom/dad’s jacket, and some others that are desperate to find a good vintage one. Why is that? It’s very practical, black goes with everything, and it has that special energy. Some people say that you need to have certain coolness/edge or personality to pull this item off, I think it’s all about the attitude. If Rock & Roll is part of your style, then the leather jacket is a must-have, if it’s not then it can add your look some relaxed chic glance.

 

We see Jessica Stam and Maryna Linchuk wearing them this year and Gisele bundchen last year… Now we see that the leather jacket has been rocking the model world for a few years now, we just hope that celebrities won’t star wearing them day and night, cause we don’t want it to get too popular… it may take that really particular style look away.

If you want to go for the classic biker look, then grab some dark color skinny jeans, boots, a dark scarf and some Ray Ban. But we’ll have to try and play with different shapes and forms, maybe we could make this style a little more individual and different

Rodarte

So I was watching the other day the Rodarte fashion show for the fall and I LOVED IT, congratulations to the Mulleavy designers, the electric colors used for the dresses are just mood boosters. The shapes are amazing and don't even get me started on the boots, they kinda remind me of the high chanel boots launched on 2006 I think? , but with an edgy tough touch. I'm not sure if the boots were also made as well as the shoes by Nicholas Kirkwood for Rodarte, shown below.

The jackets look so cool, specially the white-ish/ gray-ish one here in the picture, kinda like classic "biker" looking.

I'm not sure if we could work this futurist look in the streets, but it is certainly beautiful, and of all the runways I've watched SO FAR, Rodarte was the one to pull this kind of dress out the best way.

The fashion Art

I've decided to start the blog with a description of what I'm gonna be discussing here. As we all expect I'm gonna be talking about fashion, but I want to make something clear first.

Style is an expression of individualism mixed with charisma, fashion is something that comes after style.- John Fairchild

Fashion is made to become unfashionable .- Gabrielle Chanel

By these we mean that having your own style is gonna define you, and not fashion per se. 

but yet once you've found your style, fashion is a way of expressing it (one's individuality); what we're seeing in every season fashion shows are not just pieces of shallow fabric put together, but the expressions of an artist inspiration on what he/she sees in the world. They're art pieces waiting to be appreciated and/or judged. 

We are gonna judge them and appreciate them, we all may have different opinions about the same thing, that's why we could make this blog so rich and full of content.
