Sophistication: summer

Louis Vuitton Spring-Summer 2012 Show
@ Paris Fashion Week.

I’m not a big fan of Louis Vuitton but this Spring/Summer 2012 collection designed by Marc Jacobs was not to be missed! I saw this about two months ago. I just thought of sharing with you all in my blog today. This has to be one of the most magical fashion shows I have ever seen! Absolutely stunning and breath taking, there are no other words to describe how immaculate this show was, just by looking at the photos & videos. And….here I am….once again….asking myself, how do I get tickets or invitations to this kind of thing? I can only imagine the oohs and awes that were trying to be held back during this runway!

The show begun with a carousel of white horses that starts to spin like a merry-go-round and drops off the models. The collection carried on a theme of wonderful daywear pieces which I very much enjoyed as well as the details of the runway show! I love the patterns and the pale colours and how it has a very structured yet light and airy look to the pieces. A carousel of splendour, with the soft colours of candy pastels and silver pointy toes, nude lips and bambi eyelashes, magnificent Kate Moss and Marc Jacobs.. One word: AMAZING.

The picture on the right, that's Kate Moss!

Loving the look on the right! That yellow outerwear!:)

I didn’t post all the looks. Just my favourite few. I heard this is Marc Jacobs’ last Louis Vuitton collection because he’s going to Dior. However for this collection, Jacobs reported, he was ready for a change. “After the hardness of Fall, we wanted something gentle and kind, fragile but strong, too,” he said. “It’s my biggest set, I could have never done this anywhere else. Very magical, it’s like a magic box: very Paris.”

This show is, in fact, far too magical and holds so much beauty in all of its movements, that I couldn't possibly captivate the enchanting essence of it without sharing this video with you that I’ve watched. If you guys want to see more of the accessories, click here.

Fashion followers, seems like pastels, metallic and white are in for Spring and Summer next year! xx

Last April, one of my girlfriends recommended me to her relative who needed somebody to model for her portfolio. So i thought, hey that would be a good opportunity for me. She saw my facebook and gave me a call asking to come over her house because she decided to do a Summer shoot. Just a small one of course. I addressed the photographer/make-up artist as Kak Suzy even though she’s already married with a child. She's a very lovely woman, really! It was so interesting because I was literally bronze! She did a sun tan look on me which i have never done it before. That was like three layers of makeup, okay. The weather was scorching hot, my tears were so teary when she was taking my shots The focus was more on the make-up instead of the outfit so that basically explains why my photos are mostly portraits. Ah, it was a good experience, she taught me a lot too! ;)

I know I’m not a professional, but hey, I’m learning! ;) You gotta be courageous to do things that you love even if you fall. You'll never know how far you can go. In the future to come, I hope i will be given the opportunity to model for an editorial fashion shoot! It will definitely be a dream come true.
