It was just a few days ago Michael Jackson upset a crowd at the O2 arena in London. It also seems a few days ago, when my parents took me to one of his concerts at River Plate stadium in Buenos Aires. We sat in the back. The sound was the worst I’d ever heard, I can actually say there was no distinguishable sound. I can also remember » Read the rest of this entry «

May 5th, 2009 § 0
This essay will try to define and comprehend the concept of the spectacle as understood by Guy Debord and Jean Baudrillard. It will look at how this concept, together with Baudrillard’s concept of Simulation, and the Situationists International have influenced contemporary art, particularly in the category of performance, happenings and arts criticism of the mass media.

In the era of digital production of images, we all have access to photographic equipment and are able to produce images. The camera is not an exclusive tool anymore, it has become as indispensable as a cellular phone, to record moments. There has been a transition of photography. Photographic practice and artistic licence is no longer exclusive of the photographer, and the masses are no longer concerned in the camera as a simple tool of documentation for those family » Read the rest of this entry «

I found the complete version of the song. It’s worse than I thought. Try and listen it all the way, I couldn’t, it really gets on your nerves.
Polar Bear Song.

Regarding music, and music when it comes to a fashion show, sometimes it can be embarassing. One of the songs that played at the LCF Fashion Show was this:
It’s rare to hear such numbing, boring, stupid songs, so I had to share it with you. If anybody finds the complete version of it online please leave a comment with the link to it !!!
London College of Fashion graduate show 2009
April 24th, 2009 § 2
It’s been a week since I came back to London. It took longer for my mind to arrive, and it finally did yesterday at the London College of Fashion graduate’s show.
It was delayed for an hour, in which I sat by my better half and friends fiddling with my hands, my eyes heavy, and stomach growling for a burger. I sat on the third row at the very beginning of the catwalk and dreamed on.
The lights turned off and the fashionista music rose to a deafening volume. A spotlight turned on illuminating the beginning of the catwalk. There was a moment where everything stopped, the music played but the scilence was numbing. As my eyes lightened and a long leged burger walked on to the catwalk. It stopped right about where I was sitting, turned in its place and faced me opening it’s arms.
The lights turned off and the fashionista music rose to a deafening volume. I was exited to see my friends work on the catwalk. I’d seen some of their designs, but I wasn’t ready for what would come. Clothes in movement look much better, usually.
Irene Brandt
I am an outsider insider to fashion, so I will try my best and comment about the show. I’d like to start by Irene Brandt, who displayed an elegant collection inspired in Guillermo Kuitca’s theatre paintings. A concise collection made of silk and wool, with a black, grey and soft beige palette. Everything sown and finished to perfection. It is worth mentioning her hand held purses and rope legings stood out in the collection.

Second, Josef Lazo presented a sexy collection with painted fabrics, soft fabrics and rough fabrics. I saw a lot of legs out in the air, which to me is a plus. Also, very elegant body suits made of rough looking painted fabrics, alway’s keeping elegance and quality before anything else.

My two favourite though, I must admit were Frances & Laetitia. Their series, bodering on coherence, displayed a mixture of fur, batik, hoodies, fury leggings, polygonal patching and crazy punk shoes. It was surprise after surprise, and the coolest most extravagant clothes in the show, I found much of them actually wearable. Perhaps not all at once, but combined with other things.
Anyway, this is the opinion of someone who knows nothing about fashion, but enjoy’s it none the less.
Serbia’s Ambassador To The World.
April 17th, 2009 § 1
Thanks to “Serbias Ambassador to the World” for quoting a passage from one of the articles in this blog. It is a great site working for Serbia against the negative propaganda that the media has spread along the years.
“Serbia’s Ambassador To The World core mission is to change the negative image of Serbia that has been present for many years, and systematically begin repairing Serbia’s image in the world. The way we do this is mostly by getting the right information to the right people at the right time, combining frequent posts to Serbia’s Ambassador blog and diplomatic relations, with blog comments and editorial replies in response to online news and editorials about Serbia.”
