Lanvin Blanche

Something else that I loved in Paris last week were the windows of the Lanvin Faubourg St. Honoré store. The master behind the scene was Cyril Hatt, a French artist who is represented by the Gallery Bertrand Grimont.

The main attraction were the beautiful wedding gowns from the Lanvin Blanche line. Alber Elbaz, the brilliant designer of the famous French fashion house, designed modern looks for a bride that is less Cinderella and more independent Fashionista.

At the Parisian department store Bon Marché, the collection – that consists of 13 dresses – is orchestrated by Cyril Hatt`s installations until February 13, 2010. It is truly worth seeing.

In case you don`t make it to Paris, no worries please. On February 16, 2010 www.net-à-porter.com open their even bigger wedding boutique where you can order the fabulous Lanvin Blanche creations online.

In the most beautiful dress you will surely have the most beautiful day in your life!

Barbie goes Gaga

Isn`t it amazing how fashion, art, music and movies are all connected with each other?! I love to explore those alliances.

So here is the reason why boys should definitely play with dolls. Veik, a 29-year-old from Beijing, lets Barbie go Gaga. Fashion meets Art through his designs. Since his childhood, he has treated the plastic ladies like stars and created many stunning looks all by hand. Fascinated by the phenomenon of Lady Gaga, he captured her role as a fashion leader in every single one of his accurate doll`s outfits.  Aren`t Barbie`s feet cute in the futuristic Alexander McQueen shoes?!

But no need to hurry to the next toy store, his designs are not for sale. Take his work as an inspiration to experiment on your own. I am sure that if you have got kids, they would love an afternoon of arts and crafts for their Barbies.

LoL, Sandra
