Shark Attack Talks... // Photoshop
























My sister sent me this article earlier with the headline:

'Before' photo confirms Photoshop at play in Madonna's Louis Vuitton campaign.

I really started laughing when I read the article. I don't think anyone needs a before photo to know that Madonna was photoshopped. Even a 20-year-old would look as fake as Madonna does, being retouched like that! And I know that every photograph that makes a campaign or front cover of a magazine has been retouched, but this is just too much.

Outfit // New Shoes



































My sister and I were shopping when I saw these Versace shoes. I'd seen them a couple of times before, but I wasn't too sure about them. I was afraid I would never wear them because of the colour and print.

As I used to do before, I entered the Versace store to look at them once again. I now noticed that they were being sold at a very good price, so I decided that it was some kind of sign and I bought them. I must admit that they are a bit painful to walk in, but beauty is pain, right?

Fashion Show // Burberry Prorsum RTW S/S 2010



































Christopher Baily has done it again...
I absolutely LOVED the Burberry Prorsum Spring 2010 RTW Collection. The colours, the drapery, the fabrics, the pouffy sleeves and shoulders on the trenches, ... - I love it!

Watching the trenches, I just realised that my Burberry trench is nothing compared to the beauties in the show. Although, some of the trench coats could rather be called 'trench dresses'. Speaking about the dresses, they make me long for summer even more! They're so cute and lady-like, my only concern is that my body would not have the right proportions to be wearing such draped dresses and that those soft pastel colours would not be right for my skin tone. And I'm still not sure about the socks-in-sandals-look...

Fashion Show // Vivienne Westwood F/W 2010 Menswear




























I really liked Vivienne Westwood's menswear fashion show at the Milan Fashion Week. The models looked like homeless people - cute homeless people, that is.

Vivienne wanted to send out a message to the world saying that if we don't do something to stop the climate changes, millions of people of the next generation will be homeless. She talked about the earthquake in Haïti as an example, saying that she knows that it's a disaster caused by nature, but that there will be more to come if the climate keeps changing like the way it is changing right now.

And she's right, whether we like it or not! It's nice to know that Vivienne uses her 'influence' to make people aware of what's going on with our planet. She's always been one of my favourite designers, due to the fact she designed outfits for the Sex Pistols (one of my favourite bands), but I love her even more now!

Another thing I like about Vivienne Westwood's shows, is the fact that the models can have some fun while being on the runway. You'll see some examples in the video, like the two models who run into each other and look like they're about to fight. I also posted 'some' of my favourite outfits of the show.
It's a big post, but I think that isn't so bad, since the show contains a meaningful message!
