Layering Styling

I love magazines that dare to break a total look from a runway show and portray exclusively the stylist's interpretation of the clothes. That proves in my opinion, that clothes can stand alone and represent the brand without the need of a complete outfit. Though every wardrobe needs basics, I do believe that they are not really worthy of investing as much money as you should in a statement piece from a designer, that would be use to higlight the most simple outfit. I don't believe in buying 500 dlls. jeans or plain t-shirts.

So this is just for fun, breaking random runway looks and do tons of layers which give a nomadic finish, playing with proportions of outerwear and using skirts or dresses with all kinds of lenghts. I hope you like it.

First: Viktor & Rolf coat, Missoni neckpiece, Prada dress, Rick Owens tights and boots.
Second: Lanvin fur coat, Missoni long vest, Stella McCartney dress, Ann Demeulemeester skirt and boots.
Third: Nina Ricci coat, Dior vest, Proenza Schouler vest, Ohne Titel dress, Dries Van Noten pants and heels.
Forth: Balmain coat, Miu Miu dress, Rodarte skirt, Rag & Bone socks and boots.

Chocolate for Fall

I started to make a styling without a particular theme in mind and I realized that there are lots of chocolate brown clothes this season. I didn't feel like lowering down the intensity of this brown with neutrals, so I chose to contrast it with bright colors.

I love how it turned out, because this season clothes are super comfy and relaxed, well tailored but easy to live in and by any means sacrifices good design.

First: Reed Krakoff blazer, Chloé skirt and Davidelfin tights and heels.
Second: Haider Ackerman jacket, Balenciaga drees and heels.
Third: Burberry Prorsum jacket, Halston dress, Margiela boots.
Forth: Kenzo coat, Bottega Venetta blouse, Guccci trousers and shoes (the pants really are brown, but the lighting makes them purpleish).
Fifth: Balmain coat, Yves Saint Laurent dress, Dior boots.

Uniforms

My best friend Yuriko gave me the idea of designing a school uniform. I'm no designer and the intention of the blog has never been show to show my doodles, I don't think I have anything worthy of sharing with you in the design department yet. However, this was an incredible idea for a styling, specially since there are so many collections for Fall who look a little 50's, 60's and have that schoolish aesthetic all over them.

As I remember, from my school years, elementary and middle high, we wore uniform. For girls, skirts shouldn't be much higher than the knee and a white blouse and the school sweater complimentes the outfit. I tryed to mantain school rules as much as I could, since they are well, grown-ups clothes some might look like the classroom teacher.

First: Miu Miu blouse, skirt and shoes Louis Vuitton
Second: Celine coat, Missoni skirt, Chloe shoes.
Third: Dolce jacket (that will be closed), Dries Van Noten skirt, Burberry Prorsum boots.
Forth: Chanel jacket, YSL skirt, Calvin Klein boots.
Fith: Proenza Schouler sweater and blouse and purse, Rochas pants and heels.

Fall Number One

Ok, so this is just a Fall styling preview, since I don't know wether it's right to start so early or not. It's just insane to look at outerwear when my room it's this hot. Well I don't know... here it is, theres not an actual topic but just outfits made because I liked the items. On the next stylings made the ones with a certain topic I'll try to post a whole inspiration behind them, maybe the place where I imagine it, or the poses the models would have.

Just enjoy this one, I will keep on posting other stuff for a while before making Fall stylings regularly.

First: Rodarte top, Celin skirt, Balenciaga heels.
Second: Prada jacket, Emilio Pucci pants.
Third: Balmain blouse and jacket, Dries Van Noten skirt.
Forth:Marni sweater, Miu Miu skirt, Burberry Prorsum boots.

Last

This will be the last styling for Spring, and I don't know what I will style next since I plan on starting with Fall around June, probably... PreFall is not something I support, and you can't really play that much with a couture gown. There wasn't really a topic for this one, but I tried to mix print with softer pieces, and to showcase some of my favorite collection of the season.

First: Celine top, Versace pants, Lanvin heels.
Second: Rodarte top, YSL skirt and heels.
Third: Emilio Pucci t-shirt, Balenciaga skirt and boots.
Forth: Chanel dress, Givenchy bolero, Lanvin heels.
Fifth: Lanvin top, Miu Miu pants, Prada heels.
Sixth: Altuzarra dress, Alexander McQueen jacket, Margiela boots.

Saturday Styling

By now you should have seen in magazines and everywhere else, what the theme of this styling is, military with a minimal approach. Spring had all kind of diverse inspirations this one has been the one that everybody has been presenting in editorials and it was all over for Spring. Celine had it only with few details and references, so did Chloé, Balmain was the most obvious. I didn't want the looks to feel ready for the streets, I hate those kind of simple stylings.

First: Chloé coat, Celine dress, Givenchy leggings, Rick Owens boots.
Second: Haider Ackermann top, Celine skirt, Ann Demeulemeester boots.
Third: Celine top, Burberry Prorsum skirt, Rodarte heels.
Forth: Chloé shirtdress, Balmain jeans, YSL heels.
Fifth: Balenciaga top, Chanel trousers and clogs.

Flowers, birds and spiders

This one is how I would wanted to play with prints for Spring. They were everywhere and in every possible way, from flowers, birds, spiders and sea creatures, to tribal, opticals, and bold graphics. I think that mixing them and making them clash is much more fun that just wear them using the same color palette or the same mottif. I think that as a designer print could be a huge risk, cause sometimes doesn't always manage to look chic, it's not as easy as doing a dress in a plain colored fabric.

First: Proenza Schouler dress, Givenchy pants.
Second: Versace top, Erdem skirt.
Third: Comme des Garçons dress, Balenciaga pants.
Forth: Marni blouse, Ann Demeulemeester pants.
Fifth: Emilio Pucci jacket, Giles Deacon dress.
All Gucci heels.

Another Styling

This one was inspired in the ocean, a lot of Spring collections were influenced by it, wether it was that fish-like prints at Proenza, the graphic patterns at Emilio Pucci, or the literal summer on the beach photos turned into prints on Prada. I thought of two look for going out 2 and 3 and two other two wear at the beach, that's 2 and 4.

The second Spring styling.

This time Angel (who was born today) and I choose two different categories for making our images. Three looks for a working woman and three others for a girl in college. I tried to be risky and crazy but also a little bit more serious and polished. I'm not sure how it turned out but I kind of like it. And I also discovered that i'm not good making preppy.

This is for working women, just beautiful dresses with a jacket and for the third a more relaxed look but with a very interesting palette.

This are looks that look a lot younger and fresher, the first one is my attempt to do tons of layers, don't know if it would work for real, and the thir was my preppy interpretation.

Angel is a really important person for me cause I don't know anyone that knows as much about fashion as him, so we tend to have the longest conversations and discussions. I also admire that he doesn't likes to show off about how much he knows. I hate when people, specially in Mexico, wanna bragg in order to test yourself, kind of validating themselves and seeing if you know what they are talking about. People in Mexico seriously needs a reality check, not just in fashion but in all art-related careers.

We'll celebrate soon "íntimo".

Spring in full swing

The first styling of the season. I don't know if it's a little early, because I do wanna start when magazines start publishing the current collections, but we talked about Demi, and after a little consideration here it is. I'm writting this just when it's time to wear my cozy knits and leather jackets together in Cuernavaca, let's hope it stays that way.

Now I have to do an extensive collections review so I don't run out of material for making up stylings. As usual, here the theme was nonexistent, just random clothes I would love to see together.

First: Celine top and jacket, Balenciaga skirt, Givenchy shoes.
Second: Rodarte dress, Prada coat, Lanvin heels.
Third: Ohne Titel top, Proenza Schouler pants, Balmain boots.
Fourth: Burberry Prorsum top, Pucci pants, Gucci heels.

Come Winter

I'm already tired of seeing all the autumn clothes everywhere in the magazines, but on the other hand i can't wait for chilly weather to come. I have awesome ideas and things I wanna buy, however I still have a lot of warm days to come. Meanwhile we are closer and closer to Fashion Weeks, I can't wait!!!!!

Monday styling

Fall's First Styling

Just a few items, that I love from this season. I'm starting to get tired with some pieces that are everywhere, that could be a good thing because I will try to discover some hidden treasures among this season collections. I'm gonna try to post one styling per week.

Myself Styling

Hugo and I have made quite a nice fashion couple, he's a very talented photographer,and i really like to help him which whatever idea he's looking to develope. This were taken on Friday at my house, he had this idea which turned out to be really nice. He inspired in some editorial and by the stylings that i make and that u've seen here.

Winning night styling

With all the fuzz from the past award season I made a styling thinking what would be nice to see on the red carpet.



First: YSL, Louis Vuitton jacket, Balenciaga purse, Prada shoes.
Second: Nina Ricci, Sonia Rykiel, Nicholas Kirkwood shoes.
Third: Lanvin, Balmain jacket, Balmain shoes.
Fourth: Rodarte, Jill Sander, Georgina Goodman shoes.

Styling shoulders

A great trend for Spring Summer was shoulders, as well as Fall Winter which shoulders have been spotted in several new shows. I love them, because eventhough they have a strong 80's vibe, jackets come more fitted and clothes are styled different to not scare us and look like we were in Dinaty 20 years ago.

First: Balmain, Balenciaga, Givenchy.
Second: Dolce Gabbana, Louis Vuitton, YSL.
Third: Martin Margiela, Rodarte, Givenchy.
Forth: Viktor & Rolf, YSL, Rodrarte.

Cruella DeVil

Steven Barret illustration

She's perhaps one of my biggest fashion inspirations, I love her because she's skinny, elegant, fierce, dark, evil, powerfull, loud and a heavy somker, plus she loves two wear high heels. She's definitely my favorite Disney character, though she's a fashion designer, I think that she would rock as an editrix of the most powerful fashion magazine. Let her have a few dalmatians puppies so she can do her coat!!

Daphne Guinnes makes me think of her, the real life Cruella, she's so cool!



I've been thinking what would the real Cruella DeVil will wear so i put this 3 looks together...



First: Balenciaga FW08 dress, red gloves, Balmain SS09 shoes.
