Video blogs? Well, let's change it a bit. How about< VIDEO FASHION BLOGS> ?

        It is certain that the world of fashion blogs is amazing. Some can say it's ruled by pictures, others can appreciate fashion in words. Considering true the saying that a picture paints a thousand words and admitting blogs are made for specialists in different domains, the conclusion is that blogs should contain a balance between pictures and letters. It is true that a picture weights more than thousands words sometimes but we cannot annul the power & beauty of words. Even though I want to present a 'video fashion blog' I must say that fashion blogs in general- fashion news, fashion in pictures and so on should not exclude the reading part of their stories. As every new  invention is firstly embraced by a huge amount of 'fans' and then it is forgotten and exchanged with a new, upgraded version or even a totally different one, blogs had the same fate. Firstly, they were popular, then it was facebook, then it was twitter and the list will be longer in several years. What is wonderful about them is the fact that they are formal enough to allow you to express your opinion as a specialist, but , at the same time, their informal aspect permits you to freely expose your ideas and play with your creativity. 

     Speaking about creativity, Garance Dore is a women that knew how to use it in a productive and enjoyable way. She created a video fashion blog where she shares her fashion experiences , she presents the fashion world with all its glitter but she has an aura of modesty at the same time. She is a street fashion photographer but she took fashion blogs further. To me this blog is from a different dimension. If it's not informative , at least it inspires you in many aspects.

Chanel vs. Linda Evangelista

Timeless beauty

Golden Age Model Linda Evangelista watches us through Chanel glasses, showing us the non- conformist Chanel attitude. At 47, the canadian supermodel  is the face for the Chanel Spring-Summer 2012 eyewear campaign. Well, her timeless beauty is again confirmed...

Speaking about timeless beauty, I cannot help myself from watching her in extreme couture on Vogue Italy (March 2002)

 Publication: Vogue Italia

Issue: March 2002
Title: Couture In The Extreme
Model: Linda Evangelista
Photography: Steven Meisel
Styling: Lori Goldstein

 So...fast fashion is sustainable : A story of H&M

         Helena Helmersson, Head of Sustainability at H&M , explains H&M helps you feel less guilty when you wear your favorite dress. Watch Ann-Sofie Johansson, Head of Design at H&M explaining you what's behind H&M newest collection. 

  

Take a look on their symbolic named Conscious Collection. If you ask me, I would love to wear the neon dress. 

What do Lady Gaga and  Isabella Blow have in common? 
 

       Well, we all know Lady Gaga's eccentric and bizarre outfits , so there is no need for introduction. She wanted to make a difference so she did it. She is made to be loved or hated, there is no middle way.

I personally find her interesting enough to read every news about her but, most of all , to stare at her outfits on and on...She is part of a story and I admire the way she plays her role . More specifically, her hats make her look as if she is from a different world....or maybe she is.

 

Ok, she is unique...there is no doubt, she is different checked, but she is not the only one who made a passion for hats. An interesting story (almost bizarre) had Isabella Blow who explained she wears hats " ...to keep everyone away from me. They say, Oh, can I kiss you? I say, No, thank you very much. That's why I've worn the hat. Goodbye. I don't want to be kissed by all and sundry. I want to be kissed by the people I love"

Well, I guess you must feel precious enough to have this attitude. Believe it or not she was real and she made a really big big difference in the history of fashion with her fanciful appearances. Alexander McQueen was discovered and helped by her in his successful but short career. She bought his very first collection for 5000 pounds. So...the order is Isabella Blow - Alexander McQueen and, of course, the actual queen of hats, Lady Gaga.
