Moodboard: Holiday
que año! para arriba para abajo! desde nyc pase a nicaragua y un poco de buenos aires. desde factory pr pase por muchas oportunidades de trabajo - pero desde el inicio del año siempre fuerte con Shantall Lacayo.
i thought life was suppose to be easier after my masters program. guess not! i'm here n there!
but at the end very thankful for the those who have stuck by me, motivated me, and slapped me in the face and told me i got something y que todo viene a su tiempo!
at the end of this year, i've met a lot of people involved in the fashion world, blogger world, designer world, and finishing the year i'll be producing my 1st runway show with Shantall in nicaragua - closing 2011 with a bang!
2012 is looking good! ;)
the moodboard portrays some of my favorite shantall lacayo SS12 pieces, my musical addiction, florence and the machine, my mentors, the Olsens, the creative one, lady gaga, hair style inspirations i've followed, tango scene in San Telmo, Buenos Aires, thick heels with wedges in bright colors or in velvet, my favorite looks in neon, color blocking, orange; designer love, ricky sarkany, shantall lacayo, roksanda ilincic, halston, and stella mccartney and my latest fedora acquisition, Helene Berman! ;)

BA Runway : Andrés Baño
of all my terrible pictures from BA Runway i got this amazing shot of the model's heel broken off - she pulled it off and didn't fall all over the runway, amazzzing! this is a great model!
El cierre de Andrés Baño en Buenos Aires Runway - Alto Verano en el CMD
as you can see, it was a very mixed collection. it was entertaining specially with the heel mishap but i don't like collections that are this diverse; i feel like the designer just wanted to do it all and had no real concrete inspiration like "EVERYTHING, THE WORLD INSPIRES ME" kinda thing. however i liked.
“Acá no hay solemnidad, ni lenguaje amanerado. La antropofagia imperial moderna es digerida y expulsada en recreaciones de piezas. Les pregunto a mis clientas: ¿Qué lees? ¿Querés ser corporativamente sexy? Considero que las últimas tendencias se cortan en pedacitos y aparecen en un Klimt o en una foto de Newton”, comentó el diseñador antes de caminar la pasarela en el distrito de diseño de la ciudad.

Sneak Peak: Shantall Lacayo S/S 2012
These pictures* are just teasers of what Shantall Lacayo is cooking up in Buenos Aires. Two weekends ago, Shantall and Eduardo De Crisci held a swanky showroom/sample sale event where her upcoming S/S 2012 collection was previewed to Argentine bloggers, Ellie of IT Style, Aninka of Desde El Vestidor, the ladies of The Modistas, friends from Harper's Bazaar Argentina and intimate friends (pictures below)

BA Runway: Rodrigo Abarquero
Las quince Reglas del Tokio Pic-Nic Club fue la inspiración que tuvo Rodrigo Abarquero para su colección Alto Verano presentada en Buenos Aires Runway el pasado jueves. Sonaban tijeras de podar, cortadoras de césped y sonidos de jardín cuando comenzó el desfile. Estampas de galletitas, vestidos con patchworks y reciclajes, homenajes a los manteles a cuadros y pilotos derivados de telas de cobertores de plástico y que resultan de un modus operandi sobre el que el diseñador nos dice: “Parto de la premisa de hacer piezas que sorprendan para que quien las compre disfrute la experiencia a un precio razonable. Me interesa que mis prendas alegren la vida de las usuarias”. (informacion via BA Runway)
Rodrigo Abarquero was the first show I caught at BA Runway. It was definitely amusing, creative, and young. I enjoyed the grass headsets and the cutting of grass with a large pair of scissors sound effects. The collection's inspiration comes through clearly (picnic at the park) but it's definitely a collection I wouldn't wear, I feel kiddie enough wearing Mickey Mouse t-shirts - I don't think I can pull off a chocolate chip cookie dress.

Street Fashion: BsAs, Argentina
Sorry I haven't posted! I was away traveling ......
I finally made it to South America! Street Fashion from San Juan del Sur to Ibiza to NYC to Berlin to Barcelona !! :D :D Who would have thought I would have taken this blog seriously since July 2010?? You can find a little bit of everything, I am very proud of everything I post and if I can't find anything, well then nothing is posted. I really hope everyone from the 111 different countries (newest country to visit, Mali) that have stumbled upon my blog like it as much as I do :)
I recently visited Buenos Aires, Argentina to visit my amazing boss, Shantall Lacayo! While she was cooped up putting the S/S 2012 collection together, I walked and shopped the streets of BsAs. Welcome Tramando by Martin Churba, Eduardo De Crisci, La Merceria, Complot, and Las Pepas to my closet! - yep! no Zara!! I am very proud of myself!! :P
Later this week I'll recreate the top trends every Argentine girl wears on a daily basis, posts addition street fashion looks taken at the BA Runway and Centro Metropolitano de Diseño event, and upload sneak peak photos of Shantall Lacayo's next S/S 2012 collection and showroom event with Edu De Crisci (another amazing emerging Argentine talent and Project Runway Latin America finalist) just in case you haven't seen them on her blog and fan page.
Again, let me just state, I AM NOT a professional photog and do not wish to be one - soooo just enjoy the pictures! ;)
