Put on a Chic face

Backstage Roberto Cavalli FW 16.17 (Video source: Cavalli's yt channel) MAKE-UP :   -Max Mara, Bottega Venetta & Marni: Dark lips, my favourite thing in the make-up world. These 3 shows showed us 3 different shades that I really liked.  For Max Mara, some girls wore red lips, but that's not so interesting, is it? ;)  Bottega Veneta  Marni Max Mara Labios oscuros, lo que más me gusta del maquillaje. Estos tres desfiles nos enseñaros tres tonos que me encantaron.  En Max Mara hubo chicas con labios rojos también, pero eso no es tan interesante, ¿verdad? ;)   - Fendi: You can't use colorful make-up during fall and winter...they say. Well, both Fendi and I disagree. For this show they created a different design on each model, and all of them were amazing. Very artistic and original. No podemos usar maquillaje con colores vibrantes durante otono e invierno...o eso dicen. Pues tanto Fe...

  -Max Mara: First show of the day. I was dizzy (literally) when I saw it, and it didn't make me feel better. Guess why? So, in the last 3 seasons we got a very classic but sort of sexy collection, then one full of stars, and now this. It doesn't really make sense, and I honestly don't get the collection. Primer desfile del día. Estaba mareada (literal) cuando lo vi, y no me hizo sentir mejor. Adivinad la razón. Así que, en las últimas temporadas hemos tenido una colección clásica con un toque sexy, una llena de estrellas y ahora esto. No tiene sentido, y no entiendo la colección.   -Costume National: One of my favourite shows in Milano. I always like their clean cuts and the simplicity of the designs. Less is more. I do feel like they've gone out of their comfort zone slightly, which is nice. And I like the result, as always. Uno de mis desfiles favoritos en Milano. Siempre me gustan sus cortes tan limpios y la ...

  -Max Mara: Well, this is weird. Like nice weird, but weird. Wow, that makes so much sense.  What I mean is that this doesn't feel Max Mara at all, which is a bad thing for me, since I love Max Mara. It looks younger and I'm not sure that fits the brand. I can't think of many teenagers wearing Max Mara, to be honest. The clothes are nice, but it really feels like I'm watching another show. Again, weird feeling. Esto es raro. Raro bonito, pero raro. Y se que me explico super bien. Lo que quiero decir es que no siento que esto sea Max Mara, lo cual es malo para mi, ya que adoro Max Mara. Tiene un toque más juvenil que no creo que pegue con la marca. No conozco a ningún adolescente que vista de Max Mara, la verdad. La ropa es bonita, pero siento que estoy viendo otro desfile. De nuevo, el sentimiento que me produce es raro.   -Fendi: Oh my Fendi! I just love their S/S collections. The colours, the patterns, the sunglasses, ...it's all ...

As an Spaniard, I'm really annoyed by the lack of fashion journalists in the country. There are people who know a lot about fashion, like myself. But most of the times they pick the wrong person to write about fashion. I'm talking about regular newspapers, not fashion related press. Really, they only need to ask someone who knows about fashion about the topic they're going to write about. They constantly make mistakes, and it really annoys me. These two campaigns are a big example. Both Blanca and Steffy are from Spain, yet Blanca is the only one people who doesn't like fashion know about. Why? Because she walked for Victoria's Secret. Before that, only fashion people like me knew who she was. After VS, tons and tons of people know her. That's good, of course. But it's also unfair. She had an amazing season in NY, Milan, Paris,... yet she doesn't get credit for it. It's very frustrating for someone like me. And now she has "fans...
