Louis Vuitton Spring/Summer 2013 – what a show!

For me, LV collections always contain at least one paradox (I guess that’s their secret). Finally, they achieve a perfect mix of retro and hi-tech, luxurious and somehow silly look.

Ask any fancy girl if she really needs a checkered-60’s style-harlequin outfit? or some old style deux-pieces properly styled from head to toe? But fashion isn’t about what we need, actually it’s about something that we don’t really need 🙂 And, of course, about the power of the show.

Raw gemstones are totally awesome! Look at these minerals, rocks, gems (however they call them!) – the nature fashioned them better than we could; they’re almost magical. The raw gemstone jewelry has become a prominent trend (just visit etsy) . It’s like everybody suddenly discovered the uncut element looks  more stylish than the official polished versions.

I’d like to find a creative way for wearing this stuff and I’m not thinking about small accents here and there: a stone for my ring or a pendant for my necklace. Bolder forms are required! I imagine a belt adorned with these elements or maybe a fancy tiara.  Carrying a stone bag would be a little bit risky (remember Jana Sterbak’s Sisyphus sport?),  but I wouldn’t be surprised to find some stone-clutch in Rick Owens’ next collection.

You really don’t need too much noise for getting a stunning look. But, instead, you have to be sharp. The complete white recipe helps a lot, as you can see in the images above. Especially when it is perfectly designed. The outfit in the first pic it’s just perfect.
