Everybody Get Sporty!
Define Sporty! Well, it depinds: oversized cartoonish sneakers at Raf Simons, sporty pointed-toe pumps at Dior, granny chic sneakers at Chanel, surprising styles on the street.

Monsters in Fashion
From February 13th until April 7th, ATOPOS cvc is presenting its ARRRGH! Monsters in Fashion exhibition at La Gaîté lyrique. The craziest, sexiest and most radical monstrous creatures are invading Paris!
Atopos is a non-profit cultural organization based in Athens. Founded in 2003 by Stamos J. Fafalios and Vassilis Zidianakis, Atopos is already a powerful reference in contemporary fashion, collaborating with various designers and artists, for exhibitions, publications, performances and events. In less than 10 years, Atopos CVC (its name denoting the strange, the unwonted, the eccentric and the unclassifiable) is a meeting point for different visual disciplines, gathering rare original creations of contemporary designers. Atopos stands out with their unusual projects focusing on the human figure and its relationship with costume – see RRRIPP! Paper Fashion (now in Germany, Waiblingen), Atopic Bodies, ARRRGH! Monsters in Fashion (with the first presentation at the Benaki Museum in Athens, and currently on display in Paris, at La Gaite Lyrique).
Based on an original idea by Vasslis Zidianakis, with the design of Fafalios Stamos, ARRRGH! Monsters in Fashion manages a unique combination of fashion, animation, costume and art. Participating designers and artists reshape the human body and reveal a new universe full of dreams, nightmares and hybrid creatures. The theme seem very appealing to me, and the 58 exhibitors from around the world, turns it into a stunning cocktail:

Summer Shoes 2012
Designer’s shoes from S/S 2012 collections play with the retro inspiration (Marni, Celine), futuristic look (Phillip Lim, Rick Owens) or creative adornment (Blumarine). In most of the cases it’s not about reinventing shoes, but rethinking the way we can wear them – see Dolce&Gabbana or Mary Katrantzou. I’ve made a small selection of the most interesting shoes to pick for this summer. Now talking of my personal taste, my favorites are Rick Owens, Blumarine and Marc Jacobs designs.
