Everyone knows I'm a shoe addict. Well, if you didn't know, now you do.
I slob before each awesome collection by world class designers such as Manolo Blahnik, Christian Louboutin, Roger Vivier, Jimmy Choo or Giuseppe Zanotti. But there's a Portuguese name which can (and should) be among those geniuses. Luís Onofre.
His work is amazing and I've been following it since the beginning, long before he opened his flagship store in the most exclusive street of Lisbon. I can't wait to see what he does next.

Seems like Dolce & Gabanna read my essay The importance of a wardrobe makeover before creating their last Fall collection, thus showing a super romantic and glamorous vision of motherhood.
It's not the first time the designers call upon the big Italian family imagery on their ad campaigns. But this time they went a few steps further, creating a collection that praises the mother figure, with breathtaking dresses embroidered with phrases such as "I love you mama" or " You're the most beautiful mother in the world". Plus, on the fashion show, models were invited to bring their kids to the runway (even the unborn ones) and on the print ads mothers are the absolute stars.
What can I say? In two words: LOVE IT!
And now I'm going to slob over the images of this beautiful collection. Bye, bye!

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month and to celebrate it Stella McCartney created a beautiful set of pink lacy lingerie. A portion of the proceeds will go towards a new mammography suite at the Linda McCartney Center in Liverpool, which treats patients suffering from the disease. The cause is very dear to Stella, since her mother Linda passed away from breast cancer in 1998.
“If you can prevent this illness coming into your life and destroying your family unit, then there is nothing more important," said Stella. She also explained why her friend Kate Moss is the face of the campaign: “She kindly agreed to be part of it on the day of our Winter 2014 ad campaign shoot. It’s also a big deal for Kate to bring awareness to this cause."
The campaign was shot by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott.
Sexy.

In 1854, Louis Vuitton founded his House and in 1896 his son, Georges Vuitton, created The Monogram in honour of his late father. It is one of the first exercises in elevated branding and a defining sign of a global culture to come. It quickly became an icon.
Louis Vuitton’s ‘Celebrating Monogram’ project is a collection of works that shows the distinctly personal side of the Monogram. Six creative iconoclasts – the best in their individual fields – who blur the lines between fashion, art, architecture and product design, have been given carte blanche to dictate and make whatever they see fit in the patterned canvas.
Echoing the special Louis Vuitton centenary collection of 1996 – where Azzedine Alaia, Manolo Blahnik, Romeo Gigli, Helmut Lang, Isaac Mizrahi, Sybilla and Vivienne Westwood contributed individual and distinct designs – for 2014’s collection, the participants have progressed even further. Here, Christian Louboutin, Cindy Sherman, Frank Gehry, Karl Lagerfeld, Marc Newson and Rei Kawakubo radically, personally and playfully realise an unparalleled collection.To die for, I must say.

It's not a secret that my favorite brand is Dior. It's also no secret that one of my favorite contemporary artists is Joana Vasconcelos. But having the opportunity to see these two names together is simply fascinating (at least to me!).
Joana was one of the fifteen women artists invited by Dior to find inspiration for their contemporary creations in Miss Dior, the fragrance. And the result couldn't be more exciting. Congratulations Joana for another outstanding piece of art.

The most recent ad campaign for Saint Laurent is an anthem to 90's rock.The affair between the brand and cultural vanguards goes back the sixties, when Yves Saint Laurent himself wondered amongst artists like Nureyev, Warhol or Catherine Deneuve. In fact, one of the most famous weddings of the early seventies was Mick and Bianca Jagger's, where the iconic tuxedo (in white) was the star.Today, after some drifting moments, the brand brings it's rebel spirit back, showing a dark chic side that contrasts against the colourful palettes of every other fashion house this season. Besides, it's a fantastic photographic series from Hedi Slimane, the Creative Director of this French maison.

And now for something a little bit more frivolous, the next item on my wish list by british designer Lulu Guinness.

Vivienne Westwood glams up a Chivas Regal bottle for the celebration of the brand's anniversary. The Union Jack theme is not accidental: the British flag was designed on the same year the whisky brand was created - 1801. -

Julianne Moore as Hera
Daria Werbowy as Artemisa
2011 Pirelli Calendar was shot by Karl Lagerfeld. The theme is Greek Mithologie and Mr.Lagerfeld showed why some people call him a fashion God. -
Marc Jacobs' new West Village store is a bookstore. The designer's childhood dream came true with this unique place where you can find art, fashion and photography books as well as stationary (by Marc), accessories and records. So cool... -

PS: "Kiss me quick"(Beija-me depressa) is a regional pastry from Tomar (Portugal) and was the inspiration for this collection. Sweet!
