PETA za petama // Red or...

Da ne živimo u Srbiji, sigurno bi mi bila.

Ne znam, nemam ambiciju da pokrećem još jedno pitanje na koje nema, niti pravog, niti jedinstvenog odgovora. Polijte me crvenom farbom, ali mi je licemerno da ignorišem maminu lisicu (ili njene ostatke) u ormaru, kad već nosim isključivo kožnu obuću i povremeno jedem meso. Jeste da mi je na jelovniku samo piletina, ali sam sigurna da te jadne piliće nisu tretirali ništa bolje od životinja uzgajanih zbog krzna.

Istina, ne koriste se u modne svrhe samo životinje iz kontrolisanog uzgoja. Sa druge strane, sigurna sam da ni Kinezi ne obraćaju previše pažnje koliko štete životnoj sredini nanose hemikalije koje koriste u proizvodnji veštačkog krzna.

Dosta pro et contra-isanja, obećala sam sebi, a i vama, da neću ulaziti u ovo. Pripremite crvenu farbu.

...dead, I would certainly be, if PETA had their offices in Serbia.

I don't really have an ambition of asking yet another question there is not, or at least there is not only one, answer. Splash me with red paint, but I would be a hypocrite to ignore fur from my mother's closet and keep on going with my only-leather-shoes policy. And although I don't eat too much meat, that being poultry exclusively, I'm sure those chickens were not treated with more care than fur-bred animals.

Yes, you're right, this world is unfortunately not a perfect place where they use only animals from controlled sources. Speaking of an imperfect world, I'm sure biggest producers of faux fur, Chinese, do not pay much attention to the environmental effect toxic chemicals used in production process have.

See, this is exactly what I wanted to avoid...pro et contra ad infinitum. Ad nauseum.

Get your red paint ready, set...

Evo malo AW 2011/12 krznene inspiracije, prave ili lažne. // Be it real or fake, here's a little furry AW2011/12 inspiration.

 







Po meni je ove sezone najlepše krzno imao Gucci (ono petrolej!), ali ipak ga je najbolje nosio Dries. // Gucci's teal fur might get the award for the most beautiful this season, but Dries definitely wore it best.

I za kraj, evo kako sam ja reciklirala višak nasleđene taskidermije po stanu. // And for the end, here's my recycling take on some inherited taxidermy goods.










Paunovi, zlatne ribice i još ponešto // Peacocks & goldfish

Draga zlatna ribice, ovaj put želim pauna! Nije greška (i neću ništa iz Peacocks-a), nego je ovako bilo najlakše sročiti suštinu drugog dela moje S/S 2012 wish list-e. Dakle, ne oklevajte, okitite se (tuđim) perjem! // Dear goldfish, this time I want a peacock! It's not a mistake, but it was the only way to put the essence of my S/S 2012 wish list into few words. So, don't hesitate, wrap yourself in (peacock's) feathers!


Električno plava, prisutna već nekoliko sezona, očigledan je izbor, ali uzmite u obzir i tirkiz plavu, kao i morsko zelenu. Naravno, neutralna osnova u nude nijansama i zlatni detalji daće decentnost celoj kombinaciji. // Of course, the obvious choice is electric blue, which has been present on runways for couple of seasons now, but don't forget turquoise and sea green. Neutral base in nude shades combined with gold details will give the whole look a dash of understated elegance.


Svi pričaju o fenomenalnoj S/S 2012 Gucci kolekciji i njenim art deco uticajima a ja opet kažem - paun. Frida Giannini zaista jeste pozajmljivala iz art deco stila, koji vodi poreklo od art nouveau-a, eklektičnog pravca koji se ugledao na prirodu, njene boje i oblike. I tako, nekako opet stižemo do pauna. Svidja mi se što su Frida i njeni dizajneri od ove ptice preuzeli ne samo njene boje, već i složenu strukturu njenog perja. // Probably one of the most buzzed about collection of S/S 2012 season is Gucci. The praised Frida Giannini's collection might have been influenced by art deco, but that style evolved from art nouveau, an eclectic style heavily inspired by nature, by its colors and shapes. So, there we are again, at - peacocks! Kudos for Frida & co. not being inspired only by peacock's shades, but also by complex, yet stunning structure of this bird's feathers.


p.s. Bila sam vrlo zadovoljna kada sam shvatila da imam vrlo sličnu vintage Gucci torbu poput tete sa drugog seta fotografija. Hvala Najlonu :) // p.s. I was very excited when I realized I own a very similar vintage Gucci bag to a bag from second set of photos. Courtesy of Nylon flea market :)


Imun nije ostao ni gospodar printova - Dries Van Noten, koji je sa paunovog repa preuzeo senf žutu (inače neizbežnu za S/S 2012 sezonu) i morsko zelenu. // Even the master of prints - Dries Van Noten - couldn't resist the peacock trend, borrowing mustard yellow (which, I guess, no one could resist this season) and sea green from its tale.


Ja sam ustvari samo jako srećna što su dizajneri ove sezone obratili toliko pažnje na moju omiljenu boju. Upravo tu nedefinisano-plavu-il-zelenu sa perja gorepomenute ptice. Moj štender ionako liči na pauna, što zbog preovlađujućih nijansi, što zbog hvalisave pretpanosti. // I'm really happy because designers (ab)used my favorite color so much this season. Yes, that nor-turquoise-nor-green-borrowed-from-peacock shade exactly. My clothing rack looks like one anyway. Both for prevailing colors and flashy (over)abundance.


Druga boja zbog koje sam jako srećna ove sezone je definitivno ciklama, u kombinaciji sa ljubičastom, ili zlatnom, pogotovo na brokatnim materijalima koji vrište - luksuz. // The other color I'm so happy about is fuchsia, especially when combined with violet or gold, on brocade materials that scream luxury.


Hussein Chalayan nije se poigravao samo printovima, dokazao je da ume da bude zanimljiv i u monohromatskim okvirima, baš kao i Nicola Formichetti za Thierry Mugler i kuća Gianfranco Ferre. // Hussein Chalayan has proven not only to be the master of prints, up to Mr. Van Noten, but also a master of form, when confronted with a monochromatic frame.


Nešto strožiju geometriju odabrao je Karl Lagerfeld za svoju novu Chanel kolekciju. Ne moram ni da ističem koliko sve to dobro izgleda uz ženstvene Chanel trademark bisere. // Also staying in the geometry folder, though a bit on the strict side (not unexpectedly!) was Karl Lagerfeld for his latest Chanel collection. I don't have to point out how good it all looks combined with the trademark Chanel pearls.


Ipak, ako me pitate za bisernu ogrlicu, ja glasam za ovog over-the-top/oversize/overanything Castebajac-a. // But, if you ask me about pearls, I will always reply Castelbajac. Over-the-top/oversize/overanything, as usual.


A kad smo već kod slatkih detalja, mnogo sam se zaljubila u ovu Emporio Armani kragnicu! Eto materijala za DIY razmišljanja... // Talking of cute details, I fell in love with this Emporio Armani collar-necklace! A potential DIY inspiration?

 

Trend prozirnih materijala se nastavlja, možda je najdalje otišao Gaultier, mešajući ih sa fake tattoo printovima. // Sheer materials trend is continued, with Gaultier and his mix with fake tattoo prints probably lifting the bar for the rest.


S obzirom da je g-din Martin Margiela i zvanično prešao u enterijerske vode, bilo je očigledno da će modna kuća, koja i dalje nosi njegovo ime, a u vlasništvu je Diesel grupacije, ovako odgovoriti. Pun intended. // Considering recent Mr. Margiela's transfer to the field of interior design, collection using rugs as inspiration(very literally) from his Maison, was probably expected. Pun intended.


A kad smo već u Antwerp Six folderu, moram spomenuti i Ann Demeulemeester, koja ovaj put svoj prepoznatljivi monohromatski layering postiže upotrebom resica! // Being in the Antwerp Six folder already, it would be unfair not to mention Ann Demeulemeester whose trademark layering this time is enhanced by fringes!



Sigurna sam da Sarah Burton radi svaku kolekciju pod velikim pritiskom, jer zna koliku je prazninu za sobom ostavio Alexander McQueen, ali ja bih rekla da ona sasvim komotno hoda u njegovim cipelama. // Sure that Sarah Burton was under a lot of pressure knowing what giant shoes she has to fill in, but I would say she walks in Alexander McQueen's shoes quite comfortably.




Za kraj, nezaobilazni komadi svake sezone - sako i prsluk, u novim interpretacijama! // I'll end this wish list with two unavoidable pieces for this (and every other) season - a classical jacket and a vest in new interpretations!
