The Eye Has To Travel

A new fashion documentary, celebrating Diana Vreeland, will be released in theaters next month. Suggestively titled The Eye Has to Travel, the movie, featuring one of the most influential fashion editors of all times, promises to be colourful and inspiring . Take a look at the trailer below!

Lisa Immordino Vreeland, Diana’s granddaughter-in-law and film director, declared in her interview for Vogue Italia that “I strongly believe, the legacy Mrs. Vreeland left behind is extremely strong and deep, and goes beyond being a “mere” fashion revolutionary: she really helped change social history and emancipated women. Her life, which spanned 1903 until 1989, is by all means a vivid portrait of the XX century.”

Dressed For Dinner

In a light-hearted way, this dinner set ‘Dressed for Dinner’ wants to illustrate the social aspects that are involved during that special night out. Dining involves so much more than eating alone. Be it a date, a dinner for work or a first meeting with the in-laws, we all know how anticipation of the event, lingering over the right wardrobe, getting dressed, attraction and seduction during the evening all
are as much part of dining as enjoying the food itself.

The “Dressed for Dinner” ceramics set is created by Marianne van Ooij, a Brooklyn based Dutch designer, who works in a variety of disciplines, including textiles, furniture design and ceramics.

That’s a smart concept. And the objects are beautiful, too.

Balmain

I’m sure everybody is excited about Balmain’s Fall 2012 collection. Designer Olivier Rousteing convinced us all with his Fabergé egg inspired outfits and edgy silhouettes. The fully adorned dresses and jackets, the amazing belts look precious and even a little bit kitsch, but they’re absolutely wearable from day to night, easy to mix and match (the white sweater worn with those embroidered pants is absolutely gorgeous!).

I guess the best thing we should appreciate at Balmain is the way they found that perfect balance between what Western civilization calls heritage and the freshness of cuts and styling which makes these outfits so up-to-date.
