Vi consiglio di guardare lo show di Just Cavalli che ci propone una collezione molto contemporanea per una donna giovane e cosmopolita. Ciò che rende questa collezione così attuale è il mix tra stile e funzionalità. I capi sono speciali ma facili da indossare. Le camicie trasparenti sono chic e moderne e  rispecchiano un look considerato cool a livello mondiale.

Ispiratevi alla giacca con inserti in tulle per aggiornare il vosto guardaroba alla primavera 2013.

 60's and graphical

moschino, fay, mfw,milano fashion week
First from left Moschino - 3 looks from Fay
We're back to the sixthies at Moschino and Fay. They play with graphical effects, vertical lines and black and white contrasts. The color contrast pockets are on almost all Fay's dresses. The pastel colors chosen are all irresistibles, the melon orange is my favorite, energetic and refreshing.


Ispirazione anni sessanta per Moschino e Fay che giocano con effetti grafici, linee verticali, contrasti bianco e nero. Bellissime le tasche e pattine a contrasto, scelte da Fay come filo conduttore della collezione. Tutti irresistibili gli abiti nei toni pastello, impossibile sceglierne solo uno, forse il mio preferito è quello arancio melone, colore estivo e rinfrescante.


Perforated and Laser cut

Studs are a diyer best friend. There are tons of things you can customize successfully with a few studs. They are easy to insert and the result you get is always an edgy accessory with a rock feeling.


How to insert studs:
  • get the item you want to customize with studs
  • use  a pen to mark the spots where you will insert studs
  • use scissors to pierce the material
  • insert the studs
  • block them in place (depending on the type of studs you're using either close their teeth or screw them)
There are 3 common types of studs in the market;

you'll use
  • flat back (tiny studs or glue on) to customize lightweighted cloths and everytime you cannot access to the back of the item you customize
  • nailhead studs for medium weighted fabrics and leather
  • screw back studs for thick leather
flat back - nail head - screw back studs

Ogni capo acquista un nuovo appeal se viene decorato con le borchie. Dopo aver imparato cad inserirle potrete ottenere in pochi minuti un  capo o un accessorio personalizzato e sempre alla moda destinato ad attirare l'attenzione di tutti.

Come si inseriscono le borchie:
  1. Con una penna segnate i punti dove andrete ad inserire le borchie
  2. utilizzate le forbici o un punteruolo per forare il capo che volete decorare
  3. inserite le borchie
  4. bloccate le borchie in posizione chiudendo le alette sul retro
Troverete sul mercato 3 tipi di borchie:
  1. piatte che possono essere incollate sul capo, le userete per stoffe leggere o ogni qual volta non potete avere accesso al retro dell'oggetto da personalizzare
  2.  chiodate per tessuti e pellame di medio spessore
  3. a vite per il pellame più spesso.

DIY idea: neon rope details

This is an easy way to add a touch of neon to a jacket we own. A few colored ropes are braided together and then sewed on the edges and cuffs. It's also an easy way to make colorful DIY bracelets.

Ecco un modo semplice per aggiungere un tocco neon al guardaroba. Acquistate qualche metro di cordino colorato e intrecciatelo. Cucite la treccia su polsini e bordi della giacca. Potete utilizzare lo stesso procedimento per realizzare velocemente dei braccialetti.

DIY idea: convertible zipper jacket

diy inspiration,  diy, cloth diy, tweed jacket,bouclè jacket, zipper jacket, zipped jacket,cutout jacket,cutout diy, zara, chanel, burberry prorsum, spring 2012

Burberry Prorsum meets Chanel in this Zara jacket that brings today's DIY inspiration. The top and the bottom of this blazer are connected by a zipper. This look can be easily applied to a blazer we already own:
  1. cut the blazer in two pieces 
  2. buy a double zipper as long as the cutoutline and sew it on it

Our blazer can become two different jackets if you cut it below the bust line: it can be a schrug to wear over a pretty dress or, closing the zipper, a chic blazer wearable over your jeans.



Burberry Prorsum incontra Chanel in questa giacca Zara che ci suggerisce il progetto fai da te di oggi.  La parte superiore della giacca è connessa a quella inferiore con una zip a doppio cursore. Questo look si può replicare su una giacca che già possediamo.
  1. Tagliate in due la giacca
  2. cucite una zip sulla linea di taglio
Tagliando la giacca corta, sotto il seno, la giacca può essere indossata sia come coprispalle su un vestito elegante o, chiudendo la zip, come giacca chic da indossare sul jeans.

DIY idea: color splash painted sneakers

Maison Martin Margiela sneakers spring 2012

With Isabel Marant sneakers been spotted everywhere this is maybe the season of expensive sneakers. I see a rising number of comfortable shoes available on the market: loafers at first and now sneakers. Designers are tempting us with comfort,what do you think? Are you ready to come down your heels to step into a pair of stylish sneakers?

If the answer is positive and you're looking for inspiration have a look at Maison Martin Margiela shoes, only partially colored. This look can be copied with a pair of white sneakers we already own and a can of spray paint. Concentrate the spray on the tip and then blend it on the lenght of the shoe. I can't wait to try it with a bright color.

Isabel Marant sneakers



















Le abbiamo viste un po' ovunque, ai piedi di star e bloggers: sono le sneakers di Isabel Marant, le scarpe che danno il via alla stagione delle sneakers very expensive.
Da un po' di tempo gli scaffali dei negozi (più i cataloghi online) sono pieni di scarpe comode: prima di loafers, ora di sneakers. I designers ci tentano con il comfort, voi che dite? Siete pronte a scendere dai tacchi?

Se la risposta è si e siete in cerca di ispirazione, date un'occhiata alle scarpe sportive firmate Maison Martin Margiela, colorate solo parzialmente. Possiamo imitarle con un paio di sneakers bianche e una bomboletta di vernice spray. Concentrate lo spruzzo in punta e sfumatelo lungo la lunghezza. Proverò sicuramente a replicare questo look magari con un colore vivace.

Prendendo spunto dalle sfilate primaverili divertiamoci a ritagliare orli ondulati su gonne ed abiti. Cominciate a dare un po' di movimento all'orlo della vostra gonna dando un'occhiata al tutorial per realizzare una gonna a portafoglio con l'orlo arrotondato.
