Put on a Chic face

Here we go again...and this was supposed to be my second review. I'm sorry but, between the fact that I work pretty much every hour of my life (and when I'm not working, I'm studying) and the fact that NYFW is getting worse every season...I don't know, it just doesn't excite me. Last night I watched the ODLR show live, just because I had nothing better to do and I was bored. I usually go crazy everytime there is a livestream and enjoy it as if I was right there sitting front row. I don't know if you have noticed, but NYFW is losing a lot of its appeal, while LFW is getting better and better every season. I'm obviously lucky to be in London at the moment, because its fashion week has never been so relevant.  And that loss shows also on the models doing shows. Usually, a model that was going to walk the most shows in a season walked 20 shows in NY. Now we have average seasons for models like Faretta who should be everywhere. The only model who is slay...

My gif (Video source: Anna Sui's yt channel) Today, I'm doing one of my favourite posts about fashion week. I still remember when I first got into fashion (TEN YEARS AGO!) and I didn't really know about clothes, but I did know a bit about make-up. I just wanted to try every look I saw, and in a way I still feel that way looking at these pictures. Let's see which looks grabbed my attention: Hoy voy a hacer la que es una de mis entradas favoritas sobre las semanas de la moda. Aún recuerdo cuando empecé a seguir la moda (¡HACE DIEZ AÑOS!) y no tenía ni idea sobre ropa, pero si que sabía algo de maquillaje. Y estaba como loca queriendo probar todos los looks que vi, lo cual me sigue pasando hoy en día. Veamos cuales son los looks que me han llamado la atención esta vez: MAKE-UP :   -Prada: There were different looks on this show, one of them being super natural. But the one that really got my attention was this one with blue and black. Fun, messy, ....

Second and final review for NYFW. It has been quite a good week, if I'm honest. I feel like I'm more into fashion than I was last season, and that makes me happy. I hope LFW doesn't kill my vibe ;)  Shows that are worth a mention are ODLR and Proenza Schouler. De la Renta because they have new designers, who I think did a great job. This felt more like the classic ODLR than Copping's ODLR ever did. And Proenza because this was their last show in NY. They're moving to Paris, which is always exciting. I adore this brand and if I could purchase all their clothes, I won't hesitate for a second. This collection was supposed to be all about NY, which is a concept that I fail to understand. But I know I liked it, so it's all good. I also really enjoyed Narciso Rodriguez's show, as usual, and Ralph Lauren's. You can argue that Ralph does the same thing over and over again, but...it's SO pretty! How can I not like it? Segunda y última reseñ...

  -Oscar de la Renta: While everyone raved about Peter's collections for the brand, I judged them all. And I feel like that worked, because now what I hear about this show sounds more like what I think. Not trying to say that I'm the only one who can be right, though. When you start designing for a brand, you have two options: a) Continue doing what the original designer did; b) Change the style of the brand completely, à la Slimane. Peter did a bit of both. He continued doing dresses for princesses, like she was doing at Nina Ricci, but tried to adapt those dresses to what de la Renta used to do. It wasn't a smooth transition, but it wasn't the worst I have seen. What bothered me was that people raved about it and said that it was like de la Renta never left. Well, excuse me?  Oscar didn't use to cast too young looking models, because he designed clothes for women, strong women. So doing dresses for princesses that seem to be made of cotton candy is not ...

  -Oscar de la Renta: I usually dislike collections inspired by Spain. Mainly because, as a Spaniard, I hate seeing how everyone thinks that Spain is just flamenco and sun. It drives me insane because that part of Spain doesn't represent me at all.  You may remember that, a year ago, I got really angry when I saw Dolce&Gabbana's collection, because of those same reasons. This collection is way better, and it looks more than your classic ODLR than the previous one. However, I still don't like it. I actually hated it when I first saw it, and now I just dislike it.  Bittersweet. Suelo detestar las colecciones inspiradas en España. Básicamente porque mi nacionalidad española me hace odiar los tópicos que resumen a los españoles como flamencos que toman el sol. Me desquicia porque esa parte de España no me representa. Puede que recordéis lo mucho que me enfadé el año pasado con la colección de Dolce&Gabbana. Los motivos eran los mismos. Esta colección ...
