a piece of Paris for breakfast

 It happened so, that we were passing by Paris in our crazy d-tour these weekends. Waking up in Paris I didn't know whether I was hungry for fashion or food.

  On my way to Ralph's I was dropping in Collete, YSL and others. But what caught my eye is street fashion. I got a bit jealous, that I'm Russian, got to cultivate my style, while Frenchman was born with it.

So meanwhile my rush-walk I captured the French vision of the world....

controversy in Fashion

Do you like this girl?

Meantime it's not a girl. It's an Australian model Andrej Pejic (Ukrainian routes) who is successfully performing in a fashion world as a FEMALE model.
Firstly Carine Roitfeld  offered Andrej to try out himself as a female model in a French Vogue.
From now on he is working as a female model more successful than as a male model. You can see him on a runway, in a magazine competing on equal with world famous models. 

Another controversy I couldn't miss  is the layout in French Vogue for December.
Is it a propaganda of fashion in early age or a willingness to demonstrate how fashion is penetrating in us from early days!?  Are they going to far with this photo shoot or is fashion is going too far?

  

You can't fake fashion!

Undoubtedly you 've seen a lot of times fake Louis Vuitton, Gucci bags are selling all over in main streets of your city or in the Internet. And who  do you think suffer ? Designers!!!! So designers decided to cooperate with the biggest online store Ebay and to launch the line of the authentic bags with logo "You can't fake fashion" . Well, let's be honest at the same time Ebay is one the biggest markets of the counterfeited bags. Nevertheless, here you are  - they protest. This protest realized in designing of the following prototype of this bag:

the prototype

The price of the prototype is $35. The price of the bag decorated by designer will cost you $150 in average.  

The money from sales will be transferred to the council of "victims"  -  CFDA (Council of fashion Designers of America).

It's interesting how each designer was trying to express his identity in this bag...
