Painted leather

How cool is this jacket? The Picasso painting Guernica is so right for a leather piece,so rock!
Looking at the style of the jacket (oversized,with shoulders down) it could be a vintage piece maybe from the 80s but i can't be sure.

This pic make me want to try to diy this jacket!
And what about her hair?Never thought someone could be so cool in this electric blue!

Spanish Moss American Gold

Here's American Gold by Spanish Moss new frocks. As you can see (and how the spring/summer 2011 catwalk suggest)lace is back, my favorite pick are the lace bellbottoms!

Ecco i nuovi arrivi da Spanish Moss.Come potete vedere (e come ci indicano le sfilate per la primavera 2011) il pizzo torna con prepotenza,i miei preferiti sono i pantaloni in pizzo a zampa.

DIY lab: cut out dress

Bona Drag

The DIY inspiration of today comes from these cut out dresses really in the moment.The unespected cut out detail on the ribs is strategic,sexy but not vulgar is wearable by everyone.
I made a selection of these dresses for you, you can click on the images to shop them.
If you have some time we can have some fun cutting out a dress we already own.Try on the dress and in front of the mirror visualize where to cut the dress, on your ribs.Mark with pins where width and the height of the cut,just where it has to start and where to end.
Take off the dress draw a triangular shape,the shape of the part you have to cut, pin it on your dress and cut it out paying attention to leave space for a seam,make sure you leave enought space at the center to keep the dress together.
Refine the cut with a seam.
You can cut the dress only on the front till the lateral sewing or cut it both sides.
You can sew on the borders of your cut a beaded,sequined or studded trim if you like and you're done.

I find very interesting the dress sold at bona drag, the knot detaling on the front.
It looks like this dress can be done with a huge t-shirt dress or a big men's shirt.
Plus for a more parisienne,glamour look you can even make this dress with silk scarfs, even famous brands ones like gucci or hermes turning your diy project in a unique fashion piece.
I'll try to make it and then i'll get back to you with the tutorial!

Vintage find of the day:pom pom fur coat

Definitely an unusual coat.This vintage fur coat is covered with funny pom poms.
Have a look here before is too late

Style inspiration:Patty Pravo

One singer multiple fashion souls.This singer crossed many decades and experimented many styles,i love her style of the sixties,hippy chic.A lot of elements can be copied from her style:the coat with the fur or mongolian trimming,the shift dress,the tassled waist coat and the flares.She's always been a rocker inside and this is the style she's sporting now with leather,lace and nude look.She sported a lot of crazy hairstyles too.I saw a picture of her where she looks like lady gaga,this pic must be from the eighties,it's funny isn't it?


Una cantante,tante anime fashion.Questa cantante ha attraversato artisticamente molte decadi e il suo stile è cambiato molto sperimentando nuovi look.Adoro il suo stile anni 60,hippy chic.Molti elementi del suo ook possono essere copiati:il cappotto con il bordo in pelliccia,il vestitino a trapezio,il gilet con frange,i pantaloni a zampa.Patty Pravo ha sempre avuto un'anima rock e questo è lo stile che le vediamo indossare oggi,fatto di pizzi,pelle e nude look.Ha cambiato anche molte pettinature.Ho trovato una sua foto nella quale sembra lady gaga ed è degli anni 80,divertente no?

A woman in disguise:Victoria Beckam big coat

Victoria Beckam has been spotted under an oversized coat. I totally like the cut of this coat,a mix between a cape and a 60s coat,a huge collar that hides her face till the nose,short sleeves and big pockets.She's brave wearing a sleeveless coat in winter! This coat is a mix of sci-fi design and a girl coat, she looks like a little girl in it but the design is very clean and essential,love it.

Victoria Beckam è stata paparazzata in questo cappotto oversize.Adoro il taglio di questo cappotto un mix tra una mantella e un cappotto,nell'insieme molto anni 60.Il volto della ex spice girl è nascosto da un grande collo fino al naso,ci sono poi maniche corte e grandi tasche.
Non so se questo cappotto sembra più venir fuori da un film di fantascienza o sembra più un cappotto da bambina. Victoria è molto magra quindi quest'effetto è accentuato.Nell'insieme il design è molto pulito ed essenziale,adorabile!
