Just another Victoria's Secret show

Victoria's Secret show is always controversial for me. I love lingerie and how big this show is getting year by year but I don't like the preparation that models have to follow before the show or just to be selected.
Victoria's Secret's lingerie comes in different sized and I think that also on the catwalk shoul represent different sizes and shapes. There's plenty of amazing models that unfortunately won't even be considered because they don't respect the strict body standards.

This year te show was brought to China in Shanghai, which was a very daring move to bring a lingerie show where models walk in their underwear in a country where everything social is put under a lens.

 

The show was divided into different sections: Nomadic Adventure, Goddesses, Porcelain Angel and Punk Angel, all of them accompanied by 3 different music performances by Leslie Odom Jr, Miguel, Harry Styles and Jane Zhang.

All I see is... dresses!

Aaaaand I'm back with Blake Lively and her 8 outfits in a day!!
Of course she's not a doubtful woman but she was promoting her next movie All I See Is You.
In 12 hours she changed 8 oufits and they all are very impressive!

Let's start with a black and white Chanel jumpsuit that she wore with Christian Louboutin pumps and her friend Lorraine Schwartz's jewellery.

Big City Life

I know, I'm super late to fashion weeks but I just moved to London!!
But, first of all let's start with NYFashion Week, the one that started the fashion season.
I've selected few designers and brands that really impressed me. like Tom Ford, Brandon Maxwell and Oscar de La Renta.

Emmys 2017

Between a fashion week and the other we have the Emmy's Awards aka the Oscars of tv!
This year there were so many worthy tv series that guessing who was winning was quite difficult.

Celine, Icon of Style

Sooo, I would like to talk about a celebrity who recently came back under the spotlights. It's Celine Dion! Oh I've always loved her! I remember my mum listening to her music on and on and of course I learned all the lyrics.
After her world wide success for the soundtrack of Titanic with "My heart will go on", she rode the wave of the moment with a lot of catchy and great songs and she gained a residency show in Las Vegas.
But now she's back! She has a world tour and she became a fashion icon! The outfits and looks that she sports recently are amazing!! From haute couture to a more casual fashion.

Paris Holds the Key (To Your Heart)

 It's Haute Couture time again! This year's collections' vibes are very interesting. Of course, there are some collections that I didn't like bery much, but I was positively impressed by few. I have to say that big designers such as Dior and Dolce & Gabbana were quite disappointing. I feel like they are starting to be repetitive with the inspirations for their collections. In my opinion their inspiration is the same in the last couple of collection and they just give some different vibe.
However, let's pass to the collections that were amazing for this next season!

Man! I feel like a.. man!

 Now it's men's turn! The last couple of weeks, fashion was all about men and what they will wear next spring/summer. From London, passing through Milan, to Paris, the man presented by the designers, took inspiration from past trends.

On y va à Cannes!

Oh I wish I was in Cannes too, enjoying the sun, the redcarpets and a lot of films!!
But what about the redcarpets' outfits? Well, I can't tell I was disappointed! Finally, after a lot of warm fashion choices, Cannes was a success!
So many good outfits and looks on the red carpet!

This year the jury was composed by the spanish director Pedro Almodovar, the german director Maren Ade, actress Jessica Chastain, actress Fan Bingbing, french actress and director Agnès Jaoui, korean director Park Chan-wook, Will Smith, italian director Paolo Sorrentino and french music composer Gabriel Yared.

A cruise in the desert

I like this time of the year, we are in the middle of spring and the Resort and Cruise collection of big brands are released!
This year really big names decided to release their resort collection: Prada, Dior, Chanel and Louis Vuitton.
When brands create Resort collections, it's a breath of fresh air in the middle of the traditional A/W and S/S collections.

MET Ball 2017

This year the Met Ball was bomb! Of course, not every fashion choice was amazing, there were some oh yeah! but also some mm meh!.

Coachella 2017

It's just me or this year Coachella was a little bit subdued? Or is it just me?
I expected to be a one of the best edition of the festival, most of all because Beyonce was announced as one of the performers of the event. When he announced her pregnancy, everyone knew that Coachella was kinda ruined but Lady Gaga stepped up to take her place as one of the "bigs". However, in my opinion Coachella this year was kinda different from the other editions.. and I don't even know why!

By the way, let's see which celebrities showed up to one of the most famous music festival in the world!

Ridin' Solo!

I'm back! Again! Sorry but I just graduated in a master and things were so chaotic!! I had to finish my thesis and had to deal with my careless professor supervisor.
BTW, recently I was thinking that in the past 2 years I was still listening to the same set of songs, with some temporary obsession for some catchy songs which passed after a couple of weeks.
I felt like lately music was always the same, nothing new, same patterns, same bases... in other words, boring!!
However, in the last couple of weeks, I've rediscovered some artists that I forgot about and also discovered some nice new songs from fresh singers, which is nice! It's always nice explore different music! It's refreshing! Sometimes we're stucked with some songs that just remind us sad or bad things and automatically we feel that way. But sometimes, new music can bring that new energy and can affect our mood in a good or bad way, it depends.

Thanks to a playlist that I heard on BBC Radio 1 I've discovered some new songs that right now are stucked in my head!
The first is the debut single of Harry Styles and the other one is the new song by John Mayer, "Still feel like your man".

Talking about Harry Styles, who came right from a band and now he's working as a solo artist, I was thinking about all those singers that reached fame through a band or group and then start a solo career, leaving behind their band mates and becoming a super star.

Disastrous Oscars

Oscars!!!! YES!!! After a not so thrilling awards season (fashionally speaking ahah), I couldn't wait for the Oscars! Usually movie stars and candidates show off the best outfit of the year.. however, it wasn't like that.
Nothing exciting, but pretty monotonous. Yes, of course, there were some good outfits, but nothing breath-taking as it should be!
The night had a unexpected turn out with the big mistake in the declaration of the best picture. It was called La La Land on the stage when the real winner was Moonlight! Ops!!!

From BAFTAs to Grammys

Last night was full of events: the Grammys at Los Angeles and the Baftas in London.

The Oscars of the music and the British Oscars all in one night but on the opposite side of the world!

From Royal Hall in London to Staples Center in Los Angeles, the celebrities were a lot with a lot of looks, but unfortunately I have to admit that last night was a bit undertone. There weren't outstanding outfits or looks, nothing breath-taking. Maybe because they're holding back for the upcoming Oscars? I really hope so! Because I need to be surprised!!

Let's see the outfits of Baftas!

Haute Couture's Season

From fashion men to fashion women and haute couture! Haute Couture is like living a dream made of velvet, sparks, silk  and a lot of refined fabrics used to create artworks to wear.

Milan, Man!

I loveeeeee men fashion!! Even if I'm a woman I love to see what are the newest trends for men.
What kind of man will be seen in the streets next season?
Usually the fashion year begins with London Collection Men (LCM) but this year the name is changed and from now on it will be Fashion Week Men (FWM).
I have to admit that this year the London week quite disappointed me. The collections weren't so great and the atmosphere was not that exciting. Milan, instead was brilliant!
The autumn/winter 2017 men collections presented in Milan were very interesting.

Golden Globes 2017

Golden Globes! I was waiting for this! The GG are the prelude to the mega event of the Oscars.. most of the people always says that if you win at the Golden Globes, you will mostly win at the Oscars! But let's admire the crazily amazing dresses of the celebrities on the red carpet! I think this year was a little bit undertone.. Definitely there wasn't an outstanding look, but a lot of classics with some cute outfits inbetween.
