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

Avatar Inspired Alexander McQueen S/S 2010

It is weekend time and I wanted to inspire you for a movie night out to see “Avatar” in 3D directed by James Cameron. The science fiction epic blockbuster plays in the year 2154 on the distant planet of Pandora and seemed to be the inspiration for Alexander McQueen`s “Plato`s Atlantis” S/S 2010 collection.

The models on the catwalk looked so much like the Na`vi race in the movie. The colours green, brown and later on all shades of blue, the amazing digital prints and reptile patterns, all emerging from the sea were like the designer`s apocalyptic forecast.

Lady Gaga premiered her song “Bad Romance” at the show that was supposed to be live-streamed.  But the site crashed because of all the traffic that emerged after she had tweeted to her millions of fans about her newest release.

I could definitely not think of anyone better than her pulling off the techno and futuristic trends for next summer.  She strutted gorgeously in McQueen`s eccentric shoes (I love them!) that made the fashion world gasp when they appeared on the runway. Those towering platforms are a piece of art, deserving to be displayed. The legendary footwear gave the cybernetic look already a cult status.

Let`s capture the cobbled streets of Zurich in those heels- might be fun… at least for the ones watching us!

LoL, Sandra
