Adrenaline and Relax with L'Eau d'Issey pour Homme Sport

The Japanese designer Issey Miyake has been different and special since always. He has made a difference in all of his works, in fact if something characterized is exceptionally work is the combination of design with technology - for example- . In other words, he is a forerunner not only fashionable speaking, also with his beauty and perfumery lines, aside other creative jobs.

In 1994 launched to the market his first male fragrance, L'Eau d'Issey pour Homme, which we could say has become a classic already.

TOP TWELVE FAV MALE MODELS SS12

Who doesn't love models? I am kind of obsessed with some of them, actually with several of them...that's the main reason to make me create this ranking, with my favourites twelve ones for this Spring/Summer season 12, who - by the way - is around the corner already. It has been so hard choose only twelve because all of them are gorgeous, but finally after hours and hours watching pictures, these are my winners, and I will tell you why. Just enjoy with the incredible pictures.

Kokorico's party

Finally I can tell you everything about the Jean Paul Gaultier calling... It was nothing less than an invitation for Kokoriko's presentation in Spain, in exclusive for a few bloggers. An event full of chocolates, because the cocoa is one of Kokoriko's main ingredients.

Kokorico, the new fragrance of the french maison, is a perfume for an extravagant and savage man. And I really feel very identified with the description, maybe as much as Jon Kortajera, who stars the campaign, and even dares to dance flamenco, as we can see in the spot.

But do not think he is the only one...your friend Charly accompanied with two professional flamenco dancers, took his most gypsy side out and dared to dance with them. Yes I did! if Jon can, me too. Do you dare? I can tell you, for sure, it is not so easy... Enjoy with the Kokorico's party best moments.

Ummm yummy catering...

My Madrid Fashion Week

In the last edition  of Madrid Fashion Week, I had the pleasure to attend the Alberto SinPatron's Fall/Winter 2012-2013 fashion show. I knew his career, but I had never seen before his designs so closely, and I have to tell you it was an unforgettable experience.

A show full of risky looks, with so much volume and fantasy. Alberto works the garments directly on the mannequin, without using any kind of pattern, so as you can see his fashion is different, unpredictable and irreverent.

What happened in 'THE BRANDERY Winter 2012?

'The Brandery' is local trade show created by the city council of Barcelona who aspires to replace the global trade show, the huge 'Bread & Butter' who used to be celebrated in the 'Condal City' but for unclear reasons came back to Berlin some years ago.



'The Brandery Winter 2012' under the slogan Love your way, showed the collections of several important street brands, had different fashion shows and a lot activities related with fashion and lifestyle, like concerts, performances... Also in a special area, the visitors we could watch the amazing job of young designers, visual merchandisers and stylists from local schools. That was one of my favourite parts.

Parisian Style

 

In my last quick trip to Paris - two weeks ago - as I told you previously,  I visited the mythical Harcourt studio, where the amazing brand Paul & Joe presented his connection for the next Winter 2013. It was an amazing 20 hours trip very productive, and even today I am founding so inspirational pictures like these I am going to show today.
When I was almost ready to take a cab to get the airport, I meet to Aymeric Bergada du Cadet, an amazing freelance stylist and socialité, in my view the most stylized man in the event. His outfit surprises me because I think he represents in that look the authentic Parisian style. Barroque, eclectical, sophisticated, brave, a bit dandy, a bit theatrical but mostly really and authentically vintage.

W A N T E D new polas

Two Fridays ago I went to my agency - W A N T E D -  just located in the centre of Madrid, really close to 'Plaza Mayor' to renovate my polas  My hair is too long and now I am looking a beard - so It was the perfect time to have new pictures. Before the shooting I had two or three beers in the nearest bars to be a bit happy for the pics, I think that's a pretty nice idea to get natural photos, also it's an amazing idea if you need pictures for the passport, almost everybody looks awful in that photo.

PAUL & JOE Homme Fall/Winter 2012-2013 at Harcourt Studio in Paris

When I received the mail from Paul & Joe to invite me to enjoy the presentation of the new collection in the Menswear Paris Fashion Week I though instantly, this is going to be more than great. So without a doubt I started to planning my short trip to this lovely city. First of all I though to stay in Paris the complete fashion week, but I had some important appointments, like 'the Brandery' in Barcelona, the recording of a new short movie also in the 'Condal City' and some events confirmed, so it couldn't be that time, but no worries the next season I promise I'll spend more time and shows in the universal capital of the fashion, I hope so...

Jean Paul Gaultier calling

 As you already know I am big fan of the lovely and gorgeous french designer Jean Paul Gaultier. So when I received an invitation to be active part of a mysterious and unexpected amazing event of the brand in Madrid, I had the sensation to have butterflies in my stomach. I was excited, nervous, surprised but mostly happy.

The party will be on 8th February, it is going to be a presentation, and for the moment I can not tell you anymore. But sounds more than interesting that's for sure.

Imagine how happy I am, because for me Jean Paul Gaultier is more than a designer, he is an artist, he is a star, he is of the best...meantime you can be follow the brand on twitter @jeanpaulgautlier, on facebook, and of course on his official and sophisticated web.
