Aladdin’s modern princess

October 15, 2012

A pants or a sarouel, a top or a dress, maybe a cape with a hood? There are a lot of things going on in this beautiful outfit, not to mention the color palette and the square prints. And it was a wise choice for her not to overdue accessories: just a discreet pair of open toe shoes and funky sunglasses. The silk fabric adds a comfortable sense and keeps the clothes classy. With a warm smile and a mysterious touch, this woman made me think of Aladdin’s modern princess. Maybe she escaped? With a look so stunning no one could have missed her.

I spotted her last February with some amazingly high boots / pants from Christian Louboutin. For sure, the woman knows how to style herself. For a quick view of my last post of her, click here.

Échappée à Roosevelt Island

October 11, 2012

Plus longue que large, Roosevelt Island, dont on fait le tour en une trentaine de minutes à vélo, n’a de spécial que son emplacement entre Manhattan et le Queens. Le (Ed Koch) Queensboro Bridge la snobe largement en reliant les deux boroughs sans desservir l’île. L’astuce très très fun pour la rejoindre depuis Manhattan ? Le téléphérique ! (on peut également y accéder en métro ligne F mais Where is the fun there?). La meilleure partie de cette escapade est donc l’envol et survoler les buildings et l’East River. Et s’y vous voulez rejoindre le Queens, le rouge et joli Roosevelt Island bridge vous y aidera.

Elena V Designs Fashion collections

October 5, 2012

During NY Fashion Week, I was invited to discover the universe of Elena Vasilevsky. Born in Ukraine and raised in New York, the modern artist lets her creativity shine through her fashion brand Elena V Designs. There are many words to describe her new collections but as she confesses: “My designs express my soul and passion for dancing. Every piece from my collections contains piece of my soul.”

And, if I have one word to describe Elena Vasilevsky, it’s: ambitious! Everybody knows how much work it is to create a clothing line and put together a fashion show. Well, last September, Elena didn’t show us one catwalk. Nope, she mesmerized us with two different runway shows.
