Golden Post: Falguni & Shane Peacock

Bollywood at a rave. Or maybe Bollywood under the influence of 15 Red Bulls. Any of those descriptions would summarize perfectly this collection. I would totally picture a movie where Freida Pinto as an Indian princess being kidnapped to Saturn on a neon starship with a heavy dubstep background & then being rescued by a tanned Bruce Willis.

Either way it would be extremely chic & sick!

I was actually very very VERY excited about this show; I started following these two designers since last year when I saw their show, the one where Porcelain Black walked in. I think this is actually one of the coolest & most crafted designers when it comes to detailing, beading & manipulation of materials.

There are so many picture I took of all the close ups & details of the clothes I hope you end up loving Falguni & Shane Peacock as much as I do.

PD: I would also like to add that this is a very special entry for my blog since it's the entry number 500! Thank you for reading & following the footsteps of the blog since it was a baby 2 years ago, hope you have enjoyed our journey & please fasten your seatbelt 'cause there's still plenty to see ;)

Bollywood en un rave bajo la influencia de 15 Red Bulls. Esta sería una manera con la que describiría la colección de Falguni & Shane Peacock. Pero si nos ponemos imaginativos recrearía una película en la que Freida Pinto es una princesa de la India que es secuestrada en un cohete neón con camino a Saturno por el Machete, en el fondo suena dusbtep del pesado y al final, es rescatada por un Bruce Willis bien bronceado por el sol hindú.

De cualquier manera, todo se llevaría a cabo de la forma más chic & demente posible hahahaha.

Aterrizando en la realidad, este era uno de los desfiles que me emocionaban más, fue una suerte que pude conseguir entrada. Comencé a seguir a el dúo desde el año pasado para su colección S/S 2012, esa en la que desfilo Porcelain Black, me encantó de primera vista.

Es increíble su gran manejo de los materiales, las dimensiones, la atención a los detalles & su buen desarrollo de conceptos, siempre manteniendo el ADN de Falguni & Shane Peacock.

Tomé millones de fotos de los detalles y de las piezas, espero que al final queden igual de prendidos como yo con las creaciones de estos diseñadores.

PD: quiero también agregar que ésta es una entrada muy importante para mí ya que es la entrada número 500! Mil gracias a todos los que nos estan leyendo y a los que han seguido los pasitos del blog desde que era un baby boo boo hace dos años, espero que hayan disfrutado hasta donde hemos recorrido y plis, pónganse sus cinturones porque aún queda chorrón por explorar ;)

   

Met Gala 2012

Instagram shot by @stevenkolb

There’s probable just one way to know if you are a heavyweight in the world of fashion. An invitation to the Met Gala it is. Last year we celebrated the Savage Beauty of the work of one of the biggest geniuses we’ve had in fashion, Lee McQueen.

2012 was a year of the female power. The queens of the exhibition are Elsa Schiaparelli & Miuccia Prada, two individuals that shared two obsessions, beauty & how it impacted the lives of women.

As you may know, the Met Gala is like the best night in all of the fashion calendar, here you HAVE to dare to really have fun with the clothes since it’s such a magical night.

So, I decided to organize a boxing match between two trends that were seen last night, it’s up to you to choose the winner! In the left corner we have The Golden Girls, leaded by the woman of the night, Miuccia Prada, followed by Carey Mulligan in custom made Prada, Mad Men’s new gal pal Jessica Pare, Bianca Brandolini, Donatella “va-va-voom” Versace, BG’s Linda Fargo in personalized Naeen Khan, Leighton Meester in Marchesa, DRee Hemingway in Topshop & whole battalion of golden sirens.

On the other corner we have The Exhibitionists Black Dahlias whose leader is none other than Uncle Marc, Marion Cotillard & The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, Rooney Mara, followed by Beyonce, Renee Zelllweger in Emilio Pucci, Chloe Sevigny in Miu Miu, Vogue’s former fashion news editor Sally Singer in Nina Ricci.

There were also girls that were in the audience, watching the match but obviously in synch with some ongoing trends. Peplum Gals: Elizabeth Banks in Mary Katrantzou (do not try that at home), Eva Mendes in Prada, Diana Agron in Carolina Herrera, Solange Knowles in Rachel Roy, Emma Roberts in Escada, January Jones in Atelier Versace, Sofia Vergara in Marchesa & last but not least, Jessica Stam in Dior.

Finally, there is the 5KM Legs Team. While Angelina is busy arranging her wedding these girls are disrupting public order by showing those impressive legs (& in one case, much more). Anja Rubik took the thing to the extreme in Anthony Vaccarello, one of the Clarins girls in Mugler, Jenna Courtin-Clarins, Liv Tyler in Givenchy, Lea Michele in DVF, Elettra Wiedemann in Sophie Theallet, Carine Roitfeld in Givenchy Couture & last but def not least, red carper queen, Gisele Bundchen.

So, in your opinion, which team was really feeling the Met Gala?
