SUZY MENKES

Suzy Menkes is not a luxury brand, but her leading articles can almost be consider the Bible of Fashion&Luxury. She is a big authority in the fashion world and her articles in the prestigious journal The International Herald Tribune about fashion collections are a reference.

Despite being one the most widely read fashion editors, her passion for fashion does not stop her being objective and fair in every article. She keeps watching every show and collection with the same passion and enthusiasm as the very first day. 

Menkes does writting but she doesn't stays there, she also organizes events and conferences in the luxury world, being aware of every new store, finds new talents and being in the luxury market spotlight. 

She is not an usual editor, she is a historian by University of Cambridge and at early age she went to Paris to study dressmaking. After that time se become fashion editor and sice then it's been mandatory for all the people that loves and cares about fashion to read her articles; it is admirable how can she define a collection, she got to know about what a trend is, the fabrics, the designers and their personality and style above many other things. And most of all she does care about fashion history and has built a distinct style that became timeless and unique.


I invite you to read her articles and watch some of her interviews and remarkable opinions:

• Suzy Menkes on Margaret Thatcher Style 
• Christian Dior Couture Show since John Galliano's Departure 
• In Spain, Finally, Homage to Balenciaga 

Here's an interview she made with Alber Elbaz from Lanvin speaking of his colletion for H&M.

ROSEANNA

 When I first get to know this brand I was surprise of the tiny sample collection they had. But just in a minute I realized the softness touch these two women involve in their designs.

Anne-Fleur and Roxane are the typical french girls, the ones that knows chic and allure.
Roseanne begun as swimsuit and underwear brand, and just like good and careful business they become little by little the brand nowadays, the one that has a melange of textures, patterns and exquisite dedication from their mademoiselles.

I invite you to take a look at their website and if you are lucky enough to live in a city where they sell the collection, please go and have a walk around this lovely path.

PIRELLI CALENDAR 2011

 This Year's Pirelli Calendar has been shooted by Karl Lagerfeld and based in the ancient Greek. All the characters had been personified by Karl's favorite models with Julianne Moore as a great surprise; it looks like she had become designers favorite actress. We can also watch Baptiste Giabiconi as Apolo; the creative director of Chanel is making his appearences even more weary, Karl is killing this boy's image really fast which doesn't look as a timeless career.

  It has surprised me the way Karl has photographed this sitting, with the attention to detail and the elgance as the myth of greek goddess. Watching Daria Werbowy as Artemisa or Iris Strubegger as Atenea is such a refreshing view after last year's Terry Richardson Pirelli which was much more especific and sexually obvious.

 As a new decade starting, Pirelli calendar has chosen a tireless photographer to capture and photograph the classic mythology when what surrounds us looks so modern and accelerated. Let's enjoy with the 15 divas and for the first time 5 Gods that Lagerfeld propose.
