Chanel's Plastic is Fantastic.
Time flies and all of a sudden, Christmas is almost here! I don’t know about you, but do you remember Chanel’s Cruise Show, shown at the poetic setting of the Lido Beach in Venice in May early this year? Well… The charming cruise line is officially in stores now. I don’t know whether you have a chance to check out these incredible creations by all the incredible Mr. Lagerfeld, but all of the pieces are quite pleasing to the eye… well… all except of one pair of plastic high-heeled rain booties, which puzzled me tremendously at first sight, but regained its magnificent splendour shortly after.
Working plastic into the high-fashion bracket is certainly not a piece of cake, because it’s so stiff and uncomfortable. What struck me completely about that pair at first glance through the glossy display window is that it appears there are hideous holes punched on the shoe’s surface like contagious chicken pox. As a conscious consumer, I invited myself in store swiftly and immediately began harassing the “friendly” sales staff about my sincere concern over smelly wet feet. To my surprise, she took my genuinely bright question as an insult to the collection somewhat peculiarly, but held her regality remarkably by explaining calmly that those are indeed feet-friendly breathing holes.
Well… That all makes sense now, doesn’t it?

Lenz von Johnston, Clement Chabernaud and Danny Schwarz in Versace Uomo Spring Summer Ready-to-wear 2010
I just love Versace’s show, because it’s not for every man. It’s for hot man only! For Spring/Summer 2010, Donatella Versace presented a light collection that is sleek, sophisticated and so so so super sexy. The colours used range from crisp white, camel, peachy nudes, grey then finally, black. This gradual transition of colours perfectly mirrors a man’s wardrobe from day to night during the spring summer season – light colours for day and black for the evening time. The essence of the collection for me is in the precision in tailoring and a conspicuous confidence – drowned in the luxurious Italian fashion label’s distinctive lavish style from head to toe. Shown by a parade of muscular models - complete with delicious 6-packs - catwalking along to the cool beats of The Rakes’ 22 Grand Job and The Maccabes’ X-ray vision, the runway presentation was an infectious affair that gets me catwalking out of the venue wishing that I have Lenz in my arms.

Alisa Matviychuk, Mina Cvetković and Ksenia Kahnovich in Lacoste
There are times, when I think is it really necessary for Lacoste to do a show each season? I mean what else can you do with sportswear? It’s always the same ol’ stuff! However, each season, Creative Director Christophe Lemaire proposes a strong well-argumentted rebut that leaves me gasping for more!

Frida Gustavsson, Dorothea Barth Jörgensen and Nimuë Smit in Calvin Klein Spring Summer 2010 Collection
I cannot call myself a fan of Calvin Klein at all – somehow the American label just seems to be too hyped, too popular and just not me. However, when I saw the Spring/Summer 2010 collection on Video Fashion, I just fell very deeply for it. I love the quiet but distinct and crisp voice the collection has. It is a real genuine charmer!

![frejabehaerichsenlarastonebaptistegiabiconichanelspringsummerreadytowear2009paris Freja kissing Lara over Baptiste](https://webcf.waybackmachine.org/web/20091231024536im_/http://blogyul.miqrogroove.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/frejabehaerichsenlarastonebaptistegiabiconichanelspringsummerreadytowear2009paris.JPG)
Dreaming of Freja - Freja kissing Lara over Baptiste
Talk about pre-mature ageing. Is it because of my irregular lifestyle that I am turning into an old old old woman in lightning speed? Otherwise, how else could you explain why I could not even recall my own dream… until a certain trigger came up?
Well… Today was as usual a rather dizzy day. Just as I was working like a crazy mechanical robot on some digital data on my computer, the song “Copenhagen” by Trentemøller, TomBoy, Jørgensen, Barnes and Fisker came up – causing some sparks of memory to fly off the hidden corners of my head, as my body felt the cool funky electronic beat. Is that not the very song used in the very first part of Mads Nørgaard’s fantastic Fashion Film Trilogy The Copenhagen Experience featuring i.t. Danish models – Prada man Eddie Klint and the über-cool Freja Beha Erichsen, who not only is in the limelight of Mr. Nørgaard’s video, but also by the sounds of it, wasn’t she also the guest of honour in my dream, too?
The first scene of my dream occurred at a hostel somewhere in a historical city close by the beautiful Baltic Sea. It was extremely late at night when we arrived there after a long long journey from afar. Like most people, the incidental star-struck moment caught us off guard. It occurred when my friend Rusya and I had retired to our dormitory and just as we were fixing the annoying bed linen and duvet cover with much anger and beastliness. The door sprang open and along came two people in with the hostel owner to inspect the dimly lit room. Since we were both so tired, we really were not concerned about our surroundings. However, during the 30 seconds long inspection time, in which the mysterious couple quickly arrived at the final conclusion that the room is not suitable for their stay; I caught a mesmerising sight of the pair as I was waving the duvet with much vigorous force in order to smooth things out. Oh my… It was Freja with a boy! Gone with the wind! * faint and black out *
Next scene occurred somewhere that appears like Sea World, where my friends Olga, Rusya and I were at the front row watching the dolphins jump hoops. Since I am not really too much of a fan of animals doing tricks, I often liked to turn my back to watch the audience’s reaction and see who made the loudest “uuh…” and “aaah…”. When my head turned to the 90º mark, I immediately caught sight of someone familiar… the superfine face of Freja! Meeting someone this stellar once is chance, but the second time, it must have been fate! I couldn’t control myself and I yelled out “OMG! It’s Freja!” But then, somehow, Freja didn’t react to my outburst, even though it was clear that her boyfriend male companion heard every word I shouted out crisp and clear.
Then, I woke up.
I have heard from numerous sources, i.e. TREVOFASHIONISTO, that Freja is the nicest model ever to grace the earth. So I must have thought too much, but well having dreamt of Freja is always nicer than not having dreamt of anything!

Is Dries Van Noten men and Dries Van Noten women one of the most matching couples in fashion history ever?

Danish model Adrian Bosch in Dior Homme Spring Summer 2007 Ad Campaign
About two years ago, on one breezy evening, when my friend Rusya and I were bored to hell, we decided to do one thing that would spice up our poor little lives in dull ol’ heaven-like suburbia: grocery shopping at Woolies! Little did we know that we would soon discover something beyond mega stellar hidden amongst racks and racks of popular consumer products.
