Couldn’t It Have Been Versus?

01 July 2011 By Vera Ciria 0 In Fashion

H&M’s designer collaboration was revealed last week. Donatella Versace will be creating a 40-piece women and 20-piece men’s collection in November. I can’t stop thinking that the Christopher Kane-designed Versus would have been a better option. This video (and Versace in general) send squeamish shivers down my spine.

Jean Paul Gaultier – From the Sidewalk to the Catwalk at Fundación Mapfre in Madrid

29 June 2011 By Vera Ciria 0 In Exhibitions, Fashion

I can barely believe it! The news has been confirmed! In 2012 (yes, it’s still a long way to go) the Jean Paul Gaultier exhibition – From the Sidewalk to the Catwalk, currently in Montreal’s Museum of Fine Arts, will be in Madrid’s Fundación Mapfre. I double-checked with MMFA’s press office and they very kindly reconfirmed the news. Upon talking with Fundación Mapfre, they were quite tight-lipped, but they did say there will be a Yves Saint Laurent exhibition opening soon. I wonder which exhibition it will be, as there have been several different ones over the years.

Fashion Editorial for Barcelona Metropolitan

27 June 2011 By Vera Ciria 0 In Fashion

After several weeks’ wait, my most recent fashion editorial in collaboration with Ana Mogo has seen the light of day. Orange Crush is a small editorial, just four looks, to celebrate that vibrant shade of luscious orange that is the hit trend for summer. I had a great time preparing the looks and Ana Mogo did a great job on the day. We almost got rained out, but luckily the weather held. (By the time night fell, the rain was bucketing down).

As the fashion world slithers it’s sneaky tentacles into ever-broadening areas, (sometimes with good results, other times, well…), literature seemed to be safe and off the radar due to it’s passé demeanour, much too low-key for the flash and dazzle of seasonal trends. So could it even be possible to join the two areas? This is not about books written about fashion, this is fashion inspired by books.

Underground Fashion

11 May 2011 By Vera Ciria 0 In Fashion

People rushing. The ground trembles. The air is slightly stale. The marble gleams dully. This is an “in-between” place, not usually graced with glamour and dreams. The Diagonal subway station’s transit tunnel was the venue for a new edition of SUBmodafad, included in the TMB programme of spring activities.
