It brings so many things together: society, cultures, eras, people, artists, beliefs, fun, creativity, money, images... It is an industry that develops all the time and develops very quickly. Billions of ideas blend, fuse and CLASH!Hannahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00755623394100839487noreply@blogger.comBlogger156125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8730187671228849712.post-90318693353616749652013-01-29T00:43:00.000+02:002013-01-29T00:43:27.209+02:00Farewell<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Long has it been since I posted. I am starting to think of a Russian version of CHICLASH, and those who know me well will tell you that this thought keeps haunting me, and the blogger guilt of not posting is increasing with each day. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Having done a lot of thinking I came to a conclusion that time has come to switch to something more... grown-up maybe. There is no way I am saying that blogs aren't sophisticated. This blog started as a teenage entertainment and self-exploration, and turned into a proper platform for sharing my perspective of fashion, Ukrainian fashion in particular. It's just that I have dozens of ideas for articles, and they have stopped fitting into the format of this blog. So here I am, just saying farewell to CHICLASH. All my fellow bloggers will understand how hard it is for me. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I started this blog when I was 16, and then it was a whole other universe for me. I am now 21, and my views on fashion and the world around me have been transformed and are still constantly changing. Studying a masters course at LCF challenges my fashion beliefs on a daily basis, and I hope this constant mobility and search for something fresh will continue when I graduate. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I didn't want this blog to be <i>dead, </i>and it isn't. It was a major part of my life, and it helped me in discovering my passion for the fashion industry. I am not training to be a journalist, yet I am hoping to pursue writing about fashion business as a freelancer alongside something else. I am planning to be out and about at every possible fashion event, just like I was when I was a blogger at CHICLASH.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In the meantime, you can check out <a href="http://fashionweek.kiev.ua/honest-by-pervyiy-prozrachnyiy-brend/">a recent post of mine</a> on Fashion Week With Daria Shapovalova website if you understand Russian, and there are more projects and collaborations to come. You can stay in touch with me via <a href="http://www.linkedin.com/profile/view?id=208676230&trk=tab_pro">LinkedIn</a>. <br />
<br />
The blogger community will always hold a special place in me, and I will definitely continue to follow many amazing blogs.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My dear lovely readers,<br />
<br />
You will see more of me, even if not on this website.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Practically every day I meet new inspiring people in London, and I still can't believe how vibrant my time here has been so far. On Monday, for instance, I went to an event at UAL to hear<b> Imran Amed </b>- the founder and editor of <a href="http://www.businessoffashion.com/">Business of Fashion</a>. I go the impression that he is one of the most infectuously resourceful people I have ever met with a great balance of right-brained work and enterpreneurial approach. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I was stunned when I heard the story of this authoritative fashion business online edition. Imran literally started it as a blog to practice his writing skills in 2007 and did not expect his posts on the business side of the fashion world to become such a huge success in a very short period of time.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>

In 2008, the BoF team started to build the magazine's/newspaper's/blog's (they position BoF in the middle of these) identitiy. Here are variations of the logo</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
He talked about blogs and social media in general as well, and stressed that we are experiencing<b> a dramatic shift</b> not only in fashion and marketing, but in all aspects of our life. I totally agree, yet I personally believe that there will be a shift in the opposite direction, back to the basics. This, however, is a very complex argument which I am hoping to explore more deeply. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Also, if you are into branding check out <a href="http://brandtags.org/">brandtags.org</a>. It seems silly at first, but a very important point is made: brands are not necessarily percieved as they set out to position themselves. After all, customer is always right. </div>

London is full of extraordinary shopping destinations, and sometimes it's better to avoid the crowded Oxford Street and the Westfields, so I decided to go to <b>Carnaby Street</b> instead today. If you haven't experienced it yet, do go. It's parallel to Regent Street but it's way more cosy and it has its own character. </div>

I stumbled upon the Just pop-up store with a very basic yet very strong display of stock in its basement floor: the retailer addresses an environmental issue with a simple message and design. I'm researching CSR in fashion retail as part of my studies at the moment, so that was so relevant. </div>

Originally, my destination there was the College Shop that was set up by London College of Fashion a couple of weeks ago in Kingly Court. This pop-up shop features works by the College's graduates and students, but hurry if you want to see it - it's only open until Thursday. </div>

<b>The entry of Victoria's Secret into the UK market</b> this summer caused quite a stir. If you are in London you can still feel the aftermath of the opening of the company's first store in Westfield Stratford followed by the much anticipated flagship (and <a href="http://www.vogue.co.uk/news/2012/08/28/victorias-secret-bond-street-london-flagship-store-opening-date-confirmed">delayed</a>) in Bond Street. Girls and women are so excited about it, and I went to check it out this Monday.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
What is there to say? The flagship store with its four floors is a heaven for the weak-for-lingerie like me. Those that have been to the brand's shops in the States say that the UK stores are surprisingly darker and more gothic in a way.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I made some snaps, so enjoy. And don't miss an opportunity to see it yourself if you are in London. Only before you go make sure you do two things:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<ol>
<li>Check you do have the money to afford it so you don't end up nearly in tears over a pair of the most perfect yoga pants like I did. It is more expensive than in the US.</li>
<li>Go upstairs to the ladies' room: it's the place to take those guilty-pleasure-toilet-mirror-pictures and see the VS aesthtics that you can feel even in the store's air. </li>
</ol>

Do you know that there is an exhibition of Karl Lagerfeld's photography in London called The Little Black Jacket? I went to the Saatchi Gallery in Sloane Square to see it last week with my fellow students from LCF, and it was very impressive. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Lagerfeld's talent as a photographer is often outshadowed by his designer career, but he is an incredibly strong photographer. It was very interesting to see the different approaches to styling, since the same model of a jacket was used in every photograph, only the size varied. It was combined with biker sleeveless coats, evening dresses, sweatshirts, jeans, and the sleeves were torn off and worn separately in one photo even. <br />
<br />
The list of models featured a whole range of celebrities: from fashion personalities to movie stars and people from show business. <br />

One of my favourite photographs was that of Anna Wintour - she was the only one who posed with her back to the camera. A classic hiding of the face by the American Vogue's editor-in-chief. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Yesterday I met Michele, a girl from New York, and we got to talking about the differences in fashion mentality in the US and Ukraine. I'd say, this applies not only to the two coutries but to the developed and emerging fashion markets in general. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you think about it, people in <b>Eastern Europe </b>(and in South America, as one of my friends from Mexico said later) people with a higher income - especially women - tend to dress head-to-toe in luxury brands if they can afford it. For example, wearing a Burberry trench with Zara boots is considered bad taste, in a way.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>The US, the UK and most European countries</b> are veering towards a different approach: combining a pair of very expensive designer boots and a thrifted skirt shows that you are creative and comfortable with your status no matter what your income is. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This clashing of luxury and high street bargains is often frowned upon by fashionistas from emerging economies. Michele used the expression <b><i>recession chic</i></b>, and I really liked this term to describe it. Combining the expensive with the cheap is being smart in the economically challenging times. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Following a session on reflective writing at LCF, I dug deeper into reflection today. I stumbled upon this <a href="http://fashionweek.kiev.ua/est-dva-vida-dizaynerov-ukrainskiy-dizayner-i-dizayner-iz-ukrainyi-otlichit-ih-ochen-prosto-intervyu-zoi-zvinyatskovskoy/">interview </a>with my favourite Ukrainian fashion critic Zoya Zvinyatskovskaya. Not many people know the personalities of the Ukrainian fashion scene, but locals do know her name very well. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
She once said an interesting thing about fashion critics comparing it to a<b> psycological principle of a cockroach in a clock</b>. The cockroach may know the clock from the inside to the smallest detail but it has no idea what time it is. The people in the fashion industry are in the same position - they may know everythung from the inside but it is the critics' job to tell them the time on the fashion clock. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
An interesting concept, isn't it? </div>
</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I can't tell you how much changed in my life this month. I fulfilled the teenage dream of getting into LCF and I moved to London (not permanently, but still). everything seems to be moving so fast, and I sometimes have to stop myself and just let it all in. I went to have a symbolic good-bye-September coffee to Holland Park with my friends today, and decided to look at some of the highlight. And the small thing matter, they are what your life actually is. </div>

<br />
I went to some great events and exhibitions in London. Like this Friday Late at V&A.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-07kiLf2HLIw/UGiKTU-myoI/AAAAAAAACKo/vEhCUaPvjk8/s1600/2012-09-28+23.50.52.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-07kiLf2HLIw/UGiKTU-myoI/AAAAAAAACKo/vEhCUaPvjk8/s640/2012-09-28+23.50.52.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
I started my course at LCF. One of our first assignments was an assessment of Regent Street. How great is that?<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-fU0lseDUuXk/UGiLP13iZ0I/AAAAAAAACKw/EymXFGWEdTE/s1600/2012-09-26+11.22.41.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-fU0lseDUuXk/UGiLP13iZ0I/AAAAAAAACKw/EymXFGWEdTE/s640/2012-09-26+11.22.41.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>

To continue on the topic of polka dots, here's my uni look from today. Yestreday I went shopping for towels and hangers for my new room in London and I ended up buying a pair of wool shorts at Forever21. Talk about impulsive buys. I love the shorts anyhow. </div>

If you happen to be in London right now you just <i>must </i>check out the show windows at Selfridges if you haven't done so already. These gorgeous displays were made by a Japanese artist <b>Yayoi Kusama</b> for Louis Vuitton. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Her vibrant avant-garde style captures the essence of the collection, and it is something you can't take your eyes off. The compositions are quirky and somewhat ironic, which makes them even more adorable. A masterpiece for a shop window, really. </div>

A few free relaxed hours in between roomhunting, induction week at LCF and getting used to living in London again at last! I'm loing the first week at the College so far. Today we all had workshops outside of our courses, so I went to hear a presentation called <i>Fashion on Display</i> about the techniques used to exhibit fashion garments and problems and debates related to displaying them. It was very inspiring and informative, and to me it was a sort of an introduction to fashion curation, since I never really came across it closely before.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
We also visited the LCF Gallery in John Prince's Street to see the eyewear exhibition called <i>Framed! Contemporary Eyewear in Fashion </i>that featured an incredible collection of glasses and creative eyewear designs as well as a brief history of eyewear fashion. Some of the futuristic designs really impressed me. It was also a discovery to see some of the most unexpected materials (like human hair, for example) used to create eyewear. Here are some peaks at the exhibition for you.<i> </i></div>

Today I went to London Fashion Week for for the first time. It's an experience I longed for for a very long time, and it's a little strange to post about it, especially when it has become only a small part of the greater experience of this week. Ladies and gentlemen, I have moved to London to study. </div>

I have enrolled at London College of Fashion today to do my MA Fashion Retail course. I have a feeling this is going to be a huge inspiration for CHICLASH posts in the upcoming year and a half. </div>

Anyway, back to LFW. I got hold of a ticket to the <b>Jean-Pierre Braganza</b> show at Somerset House. One of the reasons I was excited about this particular show was that the designer claimed that he was inspired by the works of a Ukrainian artist <a href="http://www.lihacheva.com/">Zinaida Lihacheva</a>. The prints on dresses actually resemled Lihacheva's works, and it was interesting to see the merge of two talents in one collection.</div>

I didn't photograph any of the show - my battery died (yes, it was as bad as this). The collection was beautiful, though: simple shapes, geometric cuts, a mix of monochrome, coral and fresh blue. I also loved the hair: bolder and more complicated braids are going to be big again. Here are some photos from the show via <a href="http://fashionising.com/">Fashionising.com</a>. You can view the collection <a href="http://www.fashionising.com/runway/b--jean-pierre-braganza-ss-13-30066.html">here</a>. </div>

I did photohunt before the start of the show, though. The atmosphere is much more relaxed than any fashion event I went to before (which left me quite surprised). I strolled around the territory among the guests and made some snapshots of the brightest looks.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
One of the trickiest pieces of jewelry - at least for me - is a brooch. It's just hard to wear it without looking like you tried too hard or like an old lady. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
One of my friends gave me a chunky Sonia Rykiel brooch for my birthday, and it made me think of new ways to wear it besides on a tweed jacket (the classic) and a scarf (beyond classic and bordering on boring). I ended up pinning it to my floaty shirt dress. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
And then I generated more ideas on how to wear your brooches and look fresh and sexy. Some of them you already know, and some are my impromptu inventions.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
In the video, I used a brooch that my mum made herself, by the way! Let me know how you like my first proper vlogging experiment. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
My jewlery collection expanded immensely in the recent month. For my birthday everyone seemed to be willing to gift me with a new acecssory, and I can't wait to show them off now. Currently I'm working on a short video tutorial on jewelry, stay tuned.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
In the course of it all I got myself a lovely chunky necklace from <a href="http://www.sol-bijou.com/">SOL Jewelry</a>. It's handmade, and the design is strikingly simple and sweet. I strutted my stuff in Kharkiv, Ukraine, wearing it with this basic monochrome+colourblocking look. I love how one accessory can make the whole outfit work.<br />

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Right now, I'm reading <i>Fashion Brands: Branding Style from Armani to Zara</i> by Mark Tungate. One of the chapters made me browse the web for Gucci campaigns from the nineties. The Gucci ads always have a sexy oomph, but I never realised just how far the brands went a couple of decades ago. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Since Tom Ford's re-launch of the brand, Gucci became a sophisticated yet provocative and sexy luxury after a dip of the1980s. The words "porno chic" from the abovementioned book got me thinking and searching - did Tom Ford really go that far back then?<br />
<br />
Remember <a href="http://media.onsugar.com/files/ons1/183/1837327/15_2009/10e01538cea2464e_sexadvertisinggucci.preview.jpg">the controverial pubic hair ad</a> from 2003? The build-up of the "sex sells" tactic started in the good old 1990s. Although it wasn't as scandalous then. It amazed me to see just how qualitative and modern (in terms of now) the campaigns look. I never really searched for the older ad campaigns of this brand, and I don't remember any Gucci from my chilhood. This only proves that fashion - the marketing as well as the garments and style - are a history repeating. Only with a few details changed. Well, at least this is applicable to Gucci. <br />
<br />
The peak of lust and explicit photography was in the 1996-1997, and then around the naughties the sex theme was tuned down a bit. Today, at least to me, Gucci ads are not controversial at all, they just spell clean youthful glamour. It's even a little strange to look back at how revolutionary they were in the past. </div>

Alina Malushkina is one of the most inspiring people in the Ukrainian fashion industry. A designer by education and a former journalist, she has a very special vision of the fashion industry as a whole, and retail in particular. <a href="http://chiclash.blogspot.com/2011/09/blogger-bonanza-at-one.html">I came across her store last year</a> and grew to love it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
So last week, I took my camera and headed off to the new location of Alina's miniature showroom <a href="http://vk.com/club21158445">THE ONE</a>. This concept store hosts peices by some Ukrainain and European designers. I love the vintage touches to the interior and the relaxing and cosy atmosphere of the store. For the Ukrainian growing fashion market, a store like this is a masterpiece. </div>

merely a logical result of my education, media practice and a transitional step
on the threshold of global goals. I firmly decided to open a store like this
when I graduated from university, had a baby, and the company where I worked
started to show unprincipled signs of corporate fascism. To be honest, I was
very tired of reading the pretty and pompous press releases while in reality they
were not worth a penny. This was when I decided that the time had come and, as
they say, who if not I? This is how the first THE ONE store on Pushkins’ka St.
was created: small, cosy and experimental. Then the store moved to Mikhaylivs’ka
St., and now we are on Reytars’ka St. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

taste, experience and knowledge in this sphere. I balance them with the
position of my potential buyers, their expectations and needs (maybe even if
the buyers do not realise them yet). And, of course, we introduce new names by
selecting young designers' best pieces. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Ukrainian designers, and I respect and love them as people, artists and
personalities in the first place. It would be weird of me to single out one
particular designer. I can make a list of my favourites, but it would be long. I
can assure you that they are all the best. Some of them are successful outside
Ukraine, some still have everything ahead of them. It is just a matter of time

probably lacks money for advertising, development of taste. There are no
sufficient platforms for designers to grow. We lack an adequate tax system. There
is also a lack of respect for others in the chase for larger profits. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

reflects the people who make it, right now it is hard to say what it will give. I hope
that Ukrainians will use this resource correctly and constructively, and that
this product will give more of our worthy designers, photographers and stylists
an opportunity to realize their potential and be recognized abroad. It will erase the borders fashionwise, but the magazine is not the main tool here,
the main tool in this direction is the desire to work qualitatively. I will not
make any guesses about who will be on the cover – it will be whoever the head
office chooses. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

I’m fascinated by cities, it is the people or an individual rather… To speak of cities,
in my opinion, is to primarily limit the sense of thought. The people may be
not stylish at all, for example, they may be indifferent to fashion but this may
be their attractive about them. For instance, their mind may be untouched by
any marketing manipulations. I am fascinated not by the outer image but by the
harmony or beautiful disharmony of quite many things. </span></div>

всего-навсего логический итог моего образования, журналистской деятельности и
средняя ступенька в преддверии глобальных целей. Твердо и бесповоротно решила
открывать такого формата магазин, когда окончила университет, родила ребенка, а
в компании, где я работала начались беспринципные проявления корпоративного
фашизма. И честно, устала читать красивые пафосные пресс-релизы, когда на деле,
все эти инфоповоды не стоили и выеденного яйца. В тот самый момент решила что
время настало, и как говорится, кто же если не я? Так появился первый THE ONE
на Пушкинской: маленький уютный, так сказать, экспериментальный. Затем THE ONE
перекочевал на Михайловскую, ну а теперь мы на Рейтарской.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

всех я их уважаю и люблю в первую очередь по-человечески, творчески и
личностно. Разделять и выделять кого-то одного с моей стороны было бы странно.
Могу составить список, но он будет длинным. Могу уверить, что это все самые

по мне, значит ограничить изначально полет и смысл мысли. Это могут быть совсем
не стильные люди, например те, кто абсолютно индифферентен к моде, и именно
этим он может быть уже симпатичен. Ну, как пример, незамутненного всякими
маркетинговыми манипуляциями разума. Для меня стиль это отнюдь не внешняя
картинка, это гармония или красивая дисгармония достаточно многих нюансов. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Last week I met up
with Frothefrost - the designer at <a href="http://riotdivision.io.ua/">Riot Division</a> – in his small warehouse in
Kyiv. His street clothing brand has gained popularity in Ukraine when he
launched his famous Battle hoodie. I asked him about the clothes he makes, his
views on Ukrainian fashion and retail.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">The philosophy
of Riot Division is based on unleashing the rioter inside people who wear the
clothes with statement prints and incredibly comfortable and functional
garments. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Frothefrost is, probably, the cutest of tough-looking male designers I know. Here's the translation of our chat. Exclusively for you, my readers.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">

<span lang="EN-US">I like Levi’s

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span lang="EN-US">Ukrainian fashion is often </span></b><b><span lang="EN-GB">criticised for copying western designers. Is there anything that defines
Ukrainian street fashion? <o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">What can I say… Everything in fashion is a
copied and re-made in a way. The whole thing is global. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b><span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span lang="EN-US">What about Ukrainian retail? What needs to be

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Kyiv is
full of stores. The problem is in what the designers make and their price
policy. Of course I want to lower the prices, but the circumstances dictate
them, unfortunately. And there are the troubles related to production and
materials. If I increase the scale of my work, the costs will have to be
lowered, too. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span lang="EN-US">Is there anything that irritates you in modern
fashion? <o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">A man
should look like a man. However, there are always two sides to everything, it’s
hard to say.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<b><span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></b>
<b><span lang="EN-US">How important is education if you are designer?
<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">European
education gives a lot because it allows you to go beyond the limits that are
set upon us in our country, you can see new things and be inspired in some new
way. I didn’t study design. The technology of garment making is great, but it
is not essential. You can find a good tailor to help you with that. I just
explain the way I want things done and we decide the way it can be made. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span lang="EN-US">What should we expect from Riot Division?<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Development. I want everything to develop and work on a larger scale, now everything is a bit local. I think that with time more and more people will be after my clothes.</span><br />
<b><span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></b>
<b><span lang="EN-US">Are you planning to make women’s wear?</span></b></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Today I bumped into a collection of accessories by <a href="http://www.nielspeeraer.com/index.html">Niels Peeraer</a> - a young Belgian designer based in France. I don't know how I didn't hear anything about him before, the guy is a genius. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The complicated yet clean lines of all his pieces look just fantastic. The style I would describe as basic chic bordering on steampunk. What I like is that the colour palette in all his collections is minimalistic - who needs more that peachy beige leather if you have that headspinning design? Niels's designs have distint features that flow from season to season, and this sort of consistency is now rare. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">His works from the the Royal Fashion Academy of Antwerp became successful collections that won numerous awards and recieved many prestigious nominations. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Latest collection: AW 2012. <span style="line-height: 17.066667556762695px; text-align: left;">The lotus and the snake, the curse of the white fox</span></b></span></div>

When I recieved an update from <a href="http://www.ln-cc.com/">LN-CC</a> with the store's <a href="http://www.ln-cc.com/page/ln-cc-aw12-001">AW 2012-2013 campaign</a> I was amazed at how such simple images touched me. The looks are both edgy and young, and this will definitely be a major inspiration for my autumn wardrobe. </div>

My friend Nat often manages to surprise me with sweet new buys. She's an online shopping addict, and here's the result of her long correspondence with the Cambridge Satchel Company. They are not sold in Ukraine yet, and ordering the right shape and size was problematic. But hurray! </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I've just recieved an email with the new winter campaign for a jewelry brand <a href="http://www.schieldcollection.com/">Schield Collection</a> shot by Diego Diaz Marin. To be honest, it is the first time I come across this brand, but I really liked the beautiful fun pieces in the S/S 2012 collection when I browsed thier website. The quirky campaigns from previous seasons are also worth noting.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Enjoy the feminine and fresh new campaign with distinct touches of Italian style. The eyewear literally made my head spin.</div>

When it comes to the perfect (theoretically) man, he should be suited up. My perfect guy will be wearing a suit from the Z Zegna S/S 2013 collection. Preferably, with a print. Yes, I will fall in love when I see one.<br />

The<b> asymmetric skirt fever</b> has reached my wardrobe with this aqua H&M piece. I turned quite a few heads today with the flowing fabric and my vibrant vintage necklace. One thing to note though: skirts like this in bright colours make you look way younger.<br />
