it's 8.30 in the morning here in Milan, i'm having a mug of coffe and 2 slices of pain d'epices; my stuff to fly to paris is ready in my suitcase and in an hour i've to meet up with my colleagues to go to the airport.

But i can't leave without speaking a little about the Balenciaga fall winter 2008/2009 fashionshow....can i?!

Once again Nicolas Ghesquière shows his creative genius and honors the Maison Balenciaga with a collection that takes inspiration from Cristobal Balenciaga and reinterpretes his tyle in a contemporary way.

The inspirations are the Noir movies and a futuristic atmosphere; the materials are hi-tech, deep clefts in the skirts give big sensuality to the balenciaga woman and so do the jewels chosen to enrich the outfits. It's indeed a wonderful collection!

Today i'd like to talk about a girl who sells her really cute creations on Etsy, the label is called Tabitha Emma and she's a young australian who loves creating super lovely bags that look like slices of pie, teacups, sweets, etc. They're really well made and, most important thing, hand made and you will certainly be noticed...at least for being ironic and "sweet"!

i'm back! The Milan fashion week is over and it's been great: lots of parties, amazing fashion shows, tons of photographers, fashion editors wearing uber expensive clothes and super high heels, students trying to get in, etc.

I enjoyed a lot but i had to keep working too so, when i wasn't busy drawing clothes or placing prints on patterns or going to fashion shows, i looked for inspirational looks on internet, so here's what i've found.

that's it for now.

ON thursday the 28th i'll be flying to Paris with my colleagues for the Antonio Berardi fall-winter 2008-2009 fashion show and i'll take lots of photos. Hopefully we'll have the chance to walk around the city too and go to parties so come back soon!

i paid attention to the shows of the London fashion week but i don't wanna talk about 'em 'cause lots of blogs will be filled of infos and pictures and names about it. The one show i want to talk about today is the Central Saint Martins Fall 2008 fashion show.

I didn't like all of it 'cause some of the clothes were very similar to designers' ones i've seen before in past seasons or maybe 'cause some were "too much" for me or simply because they gave me no reaction but i must say that it's really hard, as a fresh graduated student, to accept critics from strangers and to hear other people say your clothes aren't good or beautiful enough (it happened to e as well last year when i graduated). This students spent years studying, learning and sewing waiting for this show so they deserve my compliments.
