Women want their Louboutins: I cannot resist the red sole

Christian Louboutin was born in 1964 in Paris. As a child, he was fascinated by ladies’ shoes and by the time he reached his teens, Louboutin was sketching shoe designs in his school books. He received a small amount of training at the Academie Roederer, studying drawing and decorative arts. After travelling for a year in Egypt and India he returned to Paris and produced a design portfolio full of elaborate high heels. Today Christian Louboutin shoes can be found in boutiques worldwide as well as on the catwalks for young highly regarded designers such as Roland Mouret and Rodarte.

Lanvin, the oldest fashion house in Paris

Lanvin, fashion brand, was created by Madame Jeanne Lanvin in Paris. She was influenced by visual arts such as Edgar Degas, Auguste Renoir, Eugène Boudin, and Edouard Vuillard. For sever years, this brand was a family affair. In fact, afer Jeanne Lanvin, her daugher, Marie-Blanche was in charge until 1950. After that, for about three decades, a succession of designers put their oar in, including Maryll Lanvin, who was chief designer for several years in the mid-1980s (she was the wife of Jeanne’s grand-nephew) and Claude Montana, who had a go in the early 1990s. 
Then, in 2001 investor group Harmonie S.A., headed by Mrs. Shaw-Lan Wang, bought Lanvin company and hired Alber Elbaz, a gifted and refined designer who had honed his skills at Yves Saint Laurent, Guy Laroche, and Geoffrey Beene. Through many years and many designers, it has stayed true to the vision of its founder, Madame Jeanne Lanvin, always valuing fine craftsmanship and impeccable ornamentation above all else.
Today, I would suggest a Lanvin's trench, matching with sexy lingerie by Cosabella, shoes by Nicholas Kirkwood, and clutch by Moschino.

She loved her work" said her daughter. The masterpiece of Giuliana was handbag, it still has more sold.

But, it is perhaps the artist, and Coen Camerino's dear friend, Salvador Dali who described her best: she first conveyed art into fashion. At the very least, the Signora was a woman who dared to challenge conventionality, and succeeded in turning utility into artistry" said The Genteel.

Tacchi a Spillo di Marina Marino - La matematica della moda...

Sempre più spesso mi capita di domandarmi perché il prezzo di una borsa è inversamente proporzionale alla sua grandezza?

Mi spiego meglio: Perché più una borsa è piccola, più il suo prezzo lievita?

Parlo sicuramente delle borse griffate, cioè di quelle che una persona acquista per le occasioni speciali, ma che alla fine costano più dell’outfit completo, compresi gli accessori.

Certo, la preziosità dipende dai materiali, dalla presenza o meno di swaroski, ma si tratta comunque di borse dalle dimensioni ridotte, a volte ridottissime……..e allora come si giustificano questi prezzi esorbitanti?

 

Se qualcuno sa rispondermi, sono qui in attesa…..!

Baci a presto Marina
