Ne znam kako ću. Ali znam da hoću. Moraću da naučim da žongliram između dayjoba, studija dizajna svetla na Akademiji koje sam upravo upisala, redovnog plivanja i blogovanja. Na želim ničega da se odreknem, ali će verovatno nešto trpeti, tako da znate zašto/ako me nema. Hvala Boletu, Deji i svima ostalima koji su mi pomogali i nagovarali me da ponovo postanem student, hvala Radoslavi i Jovani, što su glumile u ovom malom video projektu za prijemni. 

Od DIY neopren Balenciage za Radoslavu (remek-delo moje šnajderke Dese), do svetlucave  peplum majice koju nosi Jovana, izbor garderobe bio je podređen svetlu, koje se najlepše igra na sjajnim površinama. Nadam se da vam se dopada :)

p.s. Ne zaboravite na giveaway iz prošlog posta, i dalje imate šanse da osvojite savršenu Prodigy Red haljinicu!

I don't know how am I going to do it. But I know I'll have to. I'll have to learn how to juggle dayjob, lighting design studies I've just enrolled at the Academy of Arts, regular swimming and blogging. I don't want to give up anything, but I'm sure I'll have to sacrifice something, so you know if/when you don't see me around much. I wanna thank Bole, Deja and everyone else who pushed me and helped me to become a student again, Radoslava and Jovana for being a part of my little video project I submitted for the Academy. 

From my DIY neoprene take on Balenciaga that Radoslava wore to Jovana's shiny peplum top, the choice of wardrobe was all devoted to light, which reveals its true beauty on reflective surfaces.   Hope you like it :)

p.s. Don’t forget about the giveaway I’m hosting, you still have a chance to win this amazing Prodigy Red dress!

Marché!


Ne morate ni da pitate, naravno da uvek prvo izguglam gde i kada su buvlje pijace. Subota prepodne, šetam se bulevarom Hausmann u potrazi za mirisom vintaža. Bezuspešno. Odlučujem da se utešim jednim window shoppingom u obližnjem Printempsu i Galeries Lafayette. Gledam, balavim i skoro pobožno pipam Céline, Ricka Owensa, Balenciagu, ostajem koji minut da meditiram u Prada hramu, pred svom tom divotom. Pa još Margiela dame, u belim mantilima. Možda sam se utešila, ali pijaca je pijaca, ipak sam ja bon marché devojka.

Francuzi su majstori casual chica. Gospodin bela raskopčana košulja, dobar džins i New Balansice poprilične kilometraže mi kaže da su ’to sve s**t markets, da je jedna, jedina i prava flea market Porte de Clignancourt’. Kaže radi ceo vikend. Još nije (pre)kasno, Milana i ja žurimo, do poslednje stanice metroa. Porte de Clignacourt je imigrantska četvrt, na obodu Pariza i u početku mi je malo neprijatno, ali to više ima veze sa mojim predrasudama, nego sa realnim stanjem stvari. U Paizu ništa nije jeftino, pa ni buvlje pijace.  Tip-top sređene Francuskinje u poodmaklim, da ne kažem Advanced style godinama, skupo prodaju svoje vintaž kolekcije. I pored toga što na Porte de Clignancourt dvocifreno možete pazariti jedino plastične đinđuve kakve svake subote viđam na Najlonu, ipak je doživljaj koji ne treba propustiti. U to ime, jedan photo spam :)

You don’t even have to ask, I always do my homework and google when and where are the best flea markets. It’s Saturday morning and I’m walking Boulevard Hausmann in a search of a genuine scent of vintage. Without success. I decide to comfort myself by (unfortunately, only window) shopping therapy at Printempsu and Galeries Lafayett. I drool over and almost religiously touch all the masterpieces - Céline, Ricka Owensa, Balenciagu, I take a moment to meditate in Prada temple, overwhelmed by all the beauty. Oh, and add Margiela ladies, so perfect in their white coats. I might have comforted myself for a short bit, but my heart’s not it in, I’m a bon marché girl, after all.  

French truly are the masters of casual chic. Mr. white shirt perfectly unbuttoned, jeans and New Balances told me that ’all those are shi**y markets, that the one and only flea market is the one at Porte de Clignancourt’. He says it’s open all the weekend. It’s still not too late, Milana and I ride Ligne 4 till the last station. Porte de Clignacourt is mostly immigrant neighbourhood at the outskirts of Paris and I felt a little uncomfortable at first, but it has to do more with my prejudices, than with reality. There is nothing cheap about Paris, not even flea markets. Finely aged French ladies, dresses to the nines, as if they belong at Advanced style, are surely not selling their vintage jewels under price. Besides the fact that the only thing you can buy under three figures are some plastic beads I see every Saturday on Nylon flea market, Porte de Clignacourt is not to be missed. With so much to experience, photo spam was inevitable, sorry :)

Tokyo, Paris


Ne možete da je vidite. Mislim, možete da primite vizuelnu informaciju o njenom postojanju, obliku i bojama, ali Mona Lizu svakako nije moguće videti, osim ako se zavodoljavate letimičnim pogledom kroz gužvu dostojnu U2 koncerta. Nije mi prvi put u Parizu, ali jeste u Luvru. I ko god vam kaže da ne idete u Luvr ako idete na manje od nedelju dana u Pariz, potpuno je u pravu. Impozantan, kako u svojoj postavci i veličini, tako i u dužini reda ispred ulaza, ipak je znamenitost koja se ne sme zaobići. Mona Liza možda ne pruža vreme i mesto za kontemplaciju, ali zato možete zastati  i uživati ispred mnoštva drugih Leonardovih dela. Moj plan za taj dan bila je lagana šetnja od renesanse, preko baroka do flamanskog slikarstva, ali moram priznati da su najveći utisak ostavila romantičarska platna Delacroixa i Gerricaulta - velike dimenzije i velike emocije pred kojima naprosto ne možete ostati ravnodušni. Pa onda sabiranje utisaka ispred, u Tuileries vrtu, uz šampanjac, trešnje, jagode i prijatelje. 

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

You can’t see it. I mean, you can perceive it, get information on its very existance, shape and colour, but Mona Lisa is impossible to be seen, unless you are ready to settle for an accidental glance through a U2 concert-worthy crowd. This is not my first Paris trip, but it’s the first time I have enough time to visit Louvre. Whoever said you need to stay in Paris for at least a week to visit Louvre, was more than right. Impressive both when it comes to the gems in its collection and rows in front of the entrance, its definitely something you should not miss when in Paris. Mona Lisa might not give you a chance to stop and contemplate, but there’s plenty of other spots to take your moment and enjoy. Smooth walk from Renaissance and Baroque to Flemish painting was plan for the day, but Romanticists surely left the  strongest impression. The heroes of Romantism, Delacroix and Gerricault, big both on emotions and canvas size, is simply something that cannot leave you indifferent. A perfect way to finish your visit is time spent in Tuileries, with champagne, strawberries, cherries and, of course – old friends. 



Palais de Tokyo nije jedan od onih belih muzejskih prostora, koji se izvinjavaju i sklanjaju pred veličinom izloženih dela, već ravnopravan učesnik u dijalogu s njima. Izgrađen za svetsku izložbu 1937. godine, ovaj muzej savremene umetnosti skrivao je svoje čari skoro tri decenije, da bi novi život dobio posle rekonstrukcije završene u aprilu ove godine. Arhitekti Lacaton & Vassal prostor namerno ostavljaju nezavršen, nedorečen, kao da pozivaju umetnike na interakciju, brišući jasne granice između umetničkog dela i arhitekture. Brutalistički lep u svojoj sirovosti, skoro ranjivosti otkrivenog, mesto je na koje ću se sigurno vraćati. U to ime, treba obavezno popiti jedan  rosé na terasi Palais de Tokyo, s diskretnim, nikako previše turističkim pogledom na Ajfelov toranj.

Palais de Tokyo is not one of those overwhelming white exibition spaces, that have this almost apologetic relation to the art they contain, but an equal participant in the dialogue. Build in 1937 for the International Exibition of Arts and Technology, this contemporary arts museum hid its gems for almost three decades, until it was reopened in April 2012, after an overhaul by French architects Lacaton & Vassal. Their intention to leave the interior with the feel of unfinished works fine in function of inviting artists to interact with it, dissolving the strict boundaries between art and architecture. Beautiful in its raw brutalism and vulnerable because of what it shows what is usually hidden, surely is a place I will keep coming back. And I drink (rosé) to that, on a perfect terrace of Palais de Tokyo, with a subtle view over Eiffel tower.
