Mademoiselle Prive ~ Saatchi Gallery


I was fortunate enough to visit the "Mademoiselle Prive" exhibition held at the Saatchi Gallery a few days ago, that highlights the Haute couture , the re-editions of the high jewellery collection created in 1932 and CHANEL No5, presented by Karl Lagerfeld and the house of CHANEL. It was a journey through the origins of CHANEL's creations capturing the charismatic personality and irreverent spirit of mademoiselle Chanel and Karl Lagerfeld. Everything about the exhibition was beautiful! Being obsessed with the brand CHANEL made the experience extraordinary for me. 

Three floors of the gallery showcased the brand's essential elements; Audacity, Freedom and innovation. Whether it was Gabrielle Chanel's inspirations or Karl Lagerfeld's take on Chanel's codes, symbols and icons. When walking into the exhibition, it was clear that the gallery was an imitation of Chanel's original store opened by mademoiselle Coco Chanel herself in Paris. Those who worked at the gallery welcomed us into the first room, which happened to be a rise of stairs in which leads to where Karl Lagerfeld spent his time with Chanel , which is where all the magic was created. Mirrors graced the walls; reason being, when Coco spent time at her store she would like to remain upstairs but was able to look down at the mirrors to see what was happening in her store from the mirror reflection. When continuing the exhibition, the unique yet raw french speaking voice of coco Chanel was amplified throughout the exhibition, explaining in her own voice her ideas and the symbolism of each dress and room. 

Every part of the exhibition was mesmerising; and it was definitely an eye opening experience for a fashion blogger who admires legendary designers and aspires to do the same in the future.

LOB

LOB - Long Bob.  For the longest time I've wanted to cut my hair. After having long hair, I wanted to go back to my roots, the all natural black hair. I had experimented with my hair almost every year, from an ombre to having blonde streaks. Therefore this time I wanted to experiment with another style, so the past summer I reverted back to the trendiest hairstyle there was this year, the LOB. I personally feel as if short hair suits me better than long. It's an easy hairstyle to handle and play with, and it gives a fresh look. The Lob has to be my favorite hairstyle which I will most probably always go back to in the end. It's funny because we all have our own preferences, and strangely enough I feel the most comfortable and 'myself' with short hair. What's your favorite hairstyle? Lourdes xo

Versace Spring 2015 Haute Couture

Image
Donatella Versace. A visionary in her own right and a designer that's changing the fashion industry ever year. Season by season by season. She is constantly presenting something new and eccentric. I fall in love with her Haute couture collections all the time! She definitely makes the trends. When i saw the first runway model step out wearing a dark navy blue jumpsuit, i was surprised to say the most. Only because Versace's previous couture collections have always been majority dresses thus filled with eccentric prints and bright tones of colors. Donatella Versace said herself that her last few couture collections had been "super graphic". Being different is always good though! Versace definitely changed the game this season and showcased a totally new look, that consisted of super flared jumpsuits tailored perfectly on the model to showcase their curves. The jumpsuit that stood out to me the most was the white jumpsuit worn by Karlie Kloss, it looked so daring a...
