hiPop I hip. I Pop. I op.

Ima neke posebne čari u filmovima iz prošlosti koji pokušavaju da (pred)vide budućnost. Nema veze što nam se predviđanja futurista od pre nekoliko decenija danas čine smešnim, ali gedžeti, nameštaj, kostimi u njima, meni su lično strašno romantični, kao svedoci nekog paralelnog univerzuma, koji se jednostavno nije desio. Haute couture kolekcija Riccarda Tiscija za Givenchy baš je takva, savremena, a u isti mah i vrlo eklektična, kao da je došla iz nekog drugog, paralelnog sveta. Kako sam kaže, insipirisan je kultnim nemim filmom Metropolis i njegovom futurističkom art deco estetikom. Riccardo Tisci, baš kao da se igra kostimografa dvadesetih godina XX veka, pokušava paletom iz prošlosti da oslika budućnost. 

U centru pažnje, naravno - alke u nosu. Meni su predivne, ali bi ih nosila samo u nekoj fake varijanti koja ne podrazumeva nanošenje bola...Šta vi kažete?

There's always been a special place in my heart for movies from the past decades that tried to (fore)see the future. No matter that time has proved futurist predictions from 1920s irrelevant, I find those gadgets, furniture and wardrobe so romantic, as if they're artifacts from some parallel universe that simply did not happen. Riccardo Tisci's haute couture collection for Givenchy is just like that, contemporary and eclectic at the same time, as if they came from that very parallel world. Tisci said he was inspired by Fritz Lang's cult film Metropolis and its art deco aesthetics. Playing the role of 1920s costume designer, Riccardo Tisci is trying to paint the future using the means of past.

In the center of attention are, of course - nose rings. I absolutely love them but would only wear the pain-free fake ones...What do you think?

Uplašila sam se pre koju nedelju da ću morati tako, ispočetka. Bez prethodne najave i pripreme, blog mi je samo nestao. Nisam započela iz nekih ozbiljnih namera, samo sam imala potrebu da ono čime se bavim iz hobija na neki način zabeležim, više za sebe. Iako veza između Bloggera i mene traje tek nekoliko meseci i nije započela ozbiljno, shvatila sam koliko volim sve ovo i koliko mi znači tek kada sam, pred užasom ekrana na kojem piše 'Ovaj blog je uklonjen' uhvatila sebe kako u neverici izgovaram 'Ali, ali...to je moj zivot!!!...'. Dobro, da ispadnem previše patetična, ovo moj život odnosilo se i na nestanak Gmaila, ali znate na šta mislim.

I, zaista - hvala. Jedno veliko hvala, prvenstveno mojim fotografima  - Deji, Milici x2, Milanu, Ivani...i svima onima koje sam zlostavljala da me fotkaju:) Dalje, svima onima koje sam upoznala ovde, uživo ili u sajberspejsu, našim blogerima, što su me tako lepo primili u svoj krug. I naravno, onima koji me prate, na razmeni mišljenja. A kada smo već kod onih koje sam upoznala, iskoristiću Milana da prekinem ovu oskarovsku thank you patetiku. 

Muvajući se oko Kineske četvrti sreli smo moju koleginicu sa fakulteta Ivanu, koju nisam videla godinama, i koja se, gle slučajnosti - bavi fotografijom. Nešto sam pričala o ljudima koje sam srela radeći na blogu...? :)

Couple of weeks ago I thought I would have to start like that, from scratch. Without any heads-up or notion given, my blog has just disappeared. Let's get this straight - I did not start all this out of ambition to become someone or something that I'm already not, but from a practical need to have some record of my hobbies and interests, to which I devote most of my free time. Although my relationship with Blogger is in no case a serious one, I realized it was far from a summer fling either. When confronted with a horror of 'This blog has been removed' screen, I realized how much it all meant to me - I even caught myself saying 'But, but...all my life is there!'. I don't want to sound too dramatic, so I'll add that 'all my life' referred to a sudden disappearance of my Gmail account, as well.

So, I have to say one big Thank You. First of all, to my photographers - Dejan, Milica x2, Milan, Ivana...and everyone else I (ab)used as a photographer :) Thanks to everyone I met here, live or somewher in cyberspace, and our bloggers, who made me feel very welcome in their community. And, of course, to my followers - thank you for your opinions shared here, I value them very much. Speaking of people I have met through blogging, I will use Milan to stop this Oscar-worthy Thank You speech.

In a search for a perfect photoshoot location around Chinatown in Novi Sad I stumbled upon my faculty classmate Ivana, whom I haven't seen for ages. She's into photography, you know....Oh, was I saying something about people I met working on my blog?! :)
