AXDW - THEIA

S

The news from AXDW keep getting better. The first show of the day was that of THEIA, characterised as "retro-futuristic" in AXDW's notes. First time I came across THEIA and her work was at a Tell a Story exhibition a couple of seasons ago and I was overwhelmed by the wonderful corsets she had on display. They were all hanging like colourful pieces of art, ready to transform any body shape into a sensational hourglass. She had recently returned to Greece from Barcelona and was eager to make old-school fine and constructed tailoring popular to the Greek audience. It was much more than that she achieved tonight and her debut was a show nobody wanted to end.

Scattered oversized fruits and an ice-cream were placed on the runaway. The sound of waves and seagal calls was travelling across the room from the speakers. A model was lying half way, simulating careless sunbathing whilst the guests were taking their places. Once everybody was sitted, she packed her towel and retro Gynaika magazine and disappeared backstage. The show was about to begin...

Sixties glamour, curved figures and bright colours in fruity hues of vanilla, strawberry, banana and pistachio marked this cheerful show with exciting stage direction and the merry atmosphere of a playful summer. Well prepared styling, class stitching and excellent catwalk direction. THEIA, welcome aboard!

Beautiful front rowers, all in THEIA.

A vintage swimming cap turned into a bag (also featured in the show).

The person responsible for that, Martha Yannakopoulou of if-untitled architects. An architect by profession yet an accessories designer at heart.

V-Boots Vs. C-Boots

S

It was two weeks ago I was kinda stunned to hear the buzzword that is currently hitting the women's fashion - the vagina boots. Yeah, I know. Just like you are, I was like - WHAT?? What's that? What's vagina boots? Better yet, what does it got to do with the 'v' word? Well, it was then when I read the article in Evening Standard, the term refers to the towering high boots which is becoming a hot trend this season. The kinda boots that goes straight up high on the thigh. The one that I used to feature in this blog before (see Gucci's Sex on Legs). The one that Stella McCartney made famous with her perforated thigh high thingy in her current collection. Also the one that Rihanna, Madonna and Rachel Weisz made headlines in the press. Which also what Stylist featured in their last week's issue! But vagina? Maybe it's true coz they really go up there close to..err.. you know what. :)

But for us men, there is no way we gonna have that kind of boots. The highest it might go is just below the knee. Like what Lanvin showcased in the Autumn/Winter 09 catwalk. The lace-up boots that hug the lower part of the legs look very tasteful. Very edgy. Very out-there. But military? Probably so; a high-fashion army if you may. I love 'em. They definitely made a huge statement when you wear one out in the streets. Just like when I previously wore my Zara lace-up boots which became a headturner. Simply awesome. Yet to get a Lanvin, well... they're definitely gonna break my bank without a doubt!

Right now I'm really crazy about the brogue lace-up boots. They may not be that towering high, but I think they're much more sensible to be worn coz I can either dress up or dress down with it. And brogue is always remain classic. Not to mention a hot trend this season too! I'm still looking for a great pair; great design with low price, of course. Like these lots - from highstreet to designers, they're all look great.

I like Grenson boots coz they're synonym with brogues. And English craftsmanship is non-questionable - well-known for being very hardwearing and longlasting. No problem if you wanna wear it season after season. Rumor has it, ASOS' 'Made in Britain' shoes are all Grenson's. Another good craftmanship is Paul Smith, though the boots have kinda worn, vintage feel. Anyway, as long as it looks great and above the ankle - hey, it doesn't really matter.

So, my next conquest: to get a C-boots. No, not a cock boots or crotch boots - but a calves boots! A brogue, lace-up calves boots. :D

NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW

“If a more likable writer than Gilbert is currently in print, I haven't found him or her...Gilbert's prose is fueled by a mix of intelligence, wit and colloquial exuberance that is close to irresistible, and makes the reader only too glad to join the posse of friends and devotees who have the pleasure of listening in.” by Jennifer Egan

TIME MAGAZINE

“An engaging, intelligent and entertaining memoir…her account of her time in India is beautiful and honest and free of patchouli-scented obscurities.” by Lev Grossman

LOS ANGELES TIMES

“Gilbert’s journey is full of mystical dreams, visions and uncanny coincidences…Yet for every ounce of self-absorption her classical New-Age journey demands, Gilbert is ready with an equal measure of intelligence, humor and self-deprecation…Gilbert’s wry, unfettered account of her extraordinary journey makes even the most cynical reader dare to dream of someday finding God deep within a meditation cave in India, or perhaps over a transcendent slice of pizza.” by Erika Schickel

SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER

"This is an intriguing and substantive journey recounted with verve, humor and insight. Others have preceded Gilbert in writing this sort of memoir, but few indeed have done it better."  by John Marshall

ROCKY MOUNTAIN NEWS

“Fine, sometimes startling…Gilbert doesn’t wear spirituality like a fresh frock she hopes will make her pretty, but nurtures the spiritual seed within herself to find the beauty and love in everything.”  by Sarah Peasley

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY

"A" - "This insightful, funny account of her travels reads like a mix of Susan Orlean and Frances Mayes...Gilbert's journey is well worth taking." by Jessica Shaw

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY

Gilbert (The Last American Man) grafts the structure of romantic fiction upon the inquiries of reporting in this sprawling yet methodical travelogue of soul-searching and self-discovery. Plagued with despair after a nasty divorce, the author, in her early 30s, divides a year equally among three dissimilar countries, exploring her competing urges for earthly delights and divine transcendence. First, pleasure: savoring Italy's buffet of delights — the world's best pizza, free-flowing wine and dashing conversation partners — Gilbert consumes la dolce vita as spiritual succor. 'I came to Italy pinched and thin,' she writes, but soon fills out in waist and soul. Then, prayer and ascetic rigor: seeking communion with the divine at a sacred ashram in India, Gilbert emulates the ways of yogis in grueling hours of meditation, struggling to still her churning mind. Finally, a balancing act in Bali, where Gilbert tries for equipoise 'betwixt and between' realms, studies with a merry medicine man and plunges into a charged love affair. Sustaining a chatty, conspiratorial tone, Gilbert fully engages readers in the year's cultural and emotional tapestry — conveying rapture with infectious brio, recalling anguish with touching candor — as she details her exotic tableau with history, anecdote and impression." Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)

 A Starred Review.  "A probing, thoughtful title with a free and easy style, this work seamlessly blends history and travel for a very enjoyable read. Highly recommended."  by Jo-Anne Mary Benson

 BOOKLIST

 A Starred Review.  "Gilbert, author of The Last American Man (2002) and a well-traveled I'll-try-anything-once journalist, chronicles her intrepid quest for spiritual healing. Driven to despair by a punishing divorce and an anguished love affair, Gilbert flees New York for sojourns in the three Is. She goes to Italy to learn the language and revel in the cuisine, India to meditate in an ashram, and Indonesia to reconnect with a healer in Bali. This itinerary may sound self-indulgent or fey, but there is never a whiny or pious or dull moment because Gilbert is irreverent, hilarious, zestful, courageous, intelligent, and in masterful command of her sparkling prose. A captivating storyteller with a gift for enlivening metaphors, Gilbert is Anne Lamott's hip, yoga-practicing, footloose younger sister, and readers will laugh and cry as she recounts her nervy and outlandish experiences and profiles the extraordinary people she meets. As Gilbert switches from gelato to kundalini Shakti to herbal cures Balinese-style, she ponders the many paths to divinity, the true nature of happiness, and the boon of good-hearted, sexy love. Gilbert's sensuous and audacious spiritual odyssey is as deeply pleasurable as it is enlightening." by Donna Seaman

Alan Richman's take on "Eat, Pray, Love"

"Spilling out of this funny (and profound) circus car of a book are dozens of mesmerizing characters, people you'll envy Liz Gilbert for finding, valuing, loving and, I couldn't help noticing, joining for irresistible meals. I've never read an adventure quite like one, where a writer packs up her entire life and takes it on the road." -- Alan Richman.

Anne Lamott on "Eat, Pray, Love"

"This is a wonderful book, brilliant and personal, rich in spiritual insight, filled with sorrow and a great sense of humor. Elizabeth Gilbert is everything you would love in a tour guide, of magical places she has traveled to both deep inside and across the oceans: she's wise, jaunty, human, ethereal, hilarious, heartbreaking, and God, does she pay great attention to the things that really matter." -- Anne Lamott

Jack Kornfield says about "Eat, Pray, Love"

"Elizabeth Gilbert takes us on pilgrimage, with the humor, insight and charm that only come with honest self-revelation and good writing." -- Jack Kornfield

AXDW - Celebrity Skin

S

Celebrity Skin, Dimitris Strepkos and Eleni Mparla, are an AXDW success story. They made their first appearance on the catwalk in previous season as contestants and had won the awards for Best Designers & Best Catwalk. This season they are back with their show themed "Immortal Extravaganza" with larger than life models that put quite a show in fabulously and extravagantly complicated gowns. The show started with a close-up video from their shooting with Akiss Paraskeuopoulos, with the model touching her skin the way one touches a precious item. This is what followed:

Theatrical as ever, these clothes are not something you simply slip into and pop out of the house. They are rather the subject of a ceremonial preparation to show yourself to the world. Even though they started off as a stylistic explosion of the duo, the buyers demand lead to the production of this collection, now being sold in Paris and Dubai among other places. Loved the selection of shoes, especially the clever knee-high light socks touch over stilleto heels. Back-drop video by Haris Farsarakis and Studio 2,2, jewels by Liandi.
