The latest collection of Gareth Pugh for Fall 11 is highly influenced by religious iconography and Florentine opulence. The British designer presented his Italian fashion debut in Florence on January 13, 2011 at Pitti Immagine #79, showcasing his opulent designs via a unique fashion film, created with Ruth Hogben.
The video reveals a real feast for eyes and ears ushering the viewers into the mysterious world of the rectangular fold designs and body movement's art interlinked with climactic sounds. The plot resembles a journey of souls straggling with darkenss and lure of seduce with the glorious finale of ethereal and immaculate beings in Paradise.

PART I
Do you remember wonderfully timeless “Iris” Shoes by United Nude? Well, I am like good messenger Hermes forwarding you with great news that both United Nude and Iris Van Herpen will launch a second collaboration!
Apart from this prolific collaboration with the talented fashion designer, United Nude is a company with their own creative signature and an architecturally influenced style. The brand was initiated by creative duo – architect Rem D Koolhaas and shoemaker – Galahad Clark a fruitful collaboration that results in the intersection of fashion and design. The main concept is based on innovation that pushes the boundaries – whether it is expressed in shape, construction or materials.

The year 2010 – year of surprises and departures, year of jubilees and anniversaries, but first of all this is the year closing the first decade of XXI century. We had tragic events, fashion designers facing the crisis, growing number of fashion bloggers with Tavi Gevinson sitting on the fashion first rows. It was the year of anniversaries for – French Vogue, Elle, and Style.com. It was the year of departures – on February “enfant terrible” Alexander McQueen … they say that imagination never dies. After 10 years of cooperation, Carine Roitfeld left the French Vogue. But it also was the year of great return for Tom Ford and his debut as a movie director. It was a year of feminity – plus size models, 50’s fashion influences.
Presented fashion moments are like an open list highlighting the most significant events of this unique year.

A very specific period is approaching into the winter fashion,the celebration time, Carnival. Following one of the meanings of carnival as the travelling amusement show, I would like to invite you to the journey of the most luminous colour of this season - golden. We won’t be disappointed with the versatility that designers use in their artistry. Gold is present in whole forms, or like embellishments, served as glitters and the background. We will find it in rock ‘n’ roll bohemia with a decadent claw, the same as in soft retro style, or even in designs incredibly resembling the king’s robes, vestments and works of Church icons.
Yes to royalty, opulence, glamour.

Tea Petrovic is an artist and designer whose interest focuses mostly on shoes.
From her early years she was fascinated with the work of Russian sculptor Naum Gabo and Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava. Tea took the main inspirations of both artists for her graduate project which resulted in the exhibition of a hand-made shoes collection.
She wanted to achive an expressive, structural and constructed in detail shoe, and the result was the astonishment of viewers. She simply wanted to present her shoes as the object of art.

The birthday of our blog Eye Candies has very special meaning to me.
It is mostly because of the number 7 - which is my lucky eye candy.
I also feel special affection for this number because of the fortunate choices in my life concerning 7.
The date of our blog birthday has also a more global and widespread meaning... Why?? Because on Tuesday 7th December 2010, Lee Alexander McQueen received posthumous Outstanding Achievement Award at the British Fashion Awards 2010 ceremony.
No need to comment about his artistry and contribution to the real concept of global fashion - we are already acquainted with that. Having been the most innovative and influential fashion designer of his generation, he won't let us forget ...

Magazine: Vogue UK
Editorial: Black & White
Photographer: Nick Knight
Fashion Editor: Charlotte Stockdale
Model: Anja Rubik
Black & White - two oppositions, two antitheses, two contrasting colors ... but when it comes to fashion they can give a vibrant and extravagant performance serving the most exclusive designers ranging from Dries Van Noten, Dior, Gareth Pugh, Vivienne Westwood to Viktor & Rolf and many more.
The video & editorial are so powerful that you nearly feel the boost of black & white inspirations serving us the crème de la crème of high fashion styles. And that punk-ish, rebel lady taking outrageous poses to the Dust21 music, couldn't be anyone else but the top model Anja Rubik.
She jumps, dances, kicks - plays with monochromatic fashion of constructions, stripes and robs and we have to admit it, she makes it in a very glamorous and edgy way.
Such a project reveals something more - the artistry of fashion designers. Having such a simple and minimal idea consisting these two opposite colors, the result is beyond our imagination. The mixture of styles, variety of designs and creativity, show that there is a blurry line between fashion and art. The line that designers are balancing with skill and grace.

GLAM TRENDS
As we all notice leggings are having their great comeback. Plenty of them are on the runways representing styles and trends ranging from gothic to retro.
They have become versatile replacing trousers, jeans, pants and skirts. I like this versatility of leggings when I have free choice of styling. Why? Because we can match them with all kinds of top garments including suits, cardigans, tunics, dresses tops and many more.
One fashion designer introduced very smart & elegant looks in his Fall/ Winter Collection. He was known for his Midas touch that could turn fashion into wearable art. We will remember him as the sensitive, irreplaceable, innovative artist, the same were his projects. As the leggings lover, let me remind you his gorgeous designs for the ongoing Fall/Winter season. Ladies and Gentlemen:
