Giambattista Valli RTW Spring 2015 Accessories Collection

January 21, 2015 by Raluca Stoica

Giambattista Valli explored the industrial theme through the Sixties lens and a touch of Japanese vibe in the details – he was fascinated by Japan’s postwar Metabolist movement, which balanced industrial and artisanal design. He imagined for his RTW 2015 collection a woman working in the art world, traveling all the time, with a hypnotherapist in every city she could call on. Super cool!

Beauty at Givenchy Spring/Summer 2014 Show

October 1, 2013 by Raluca Stoica

To emphasize the striking make-up, hair stylist Luigi Murenu opted for soft hair, leaving it loose and lightly windswept. Makeup Pat McGrath; Hair Luigi Murenu. Source vogue.fr
