I went to Boris Pavlin's showroom yesterday, together with some of my fellow bloggers, because ItGirl organized a very fun event in collaboration with the designer. Boris held a little ''lecture'' for us, in which he spoke about fashion in Croatia, how his dresses are made, and so on. I have to say this was one of the most educational events I have ever attended! I respect him even more as a designer now. All of his dresses are made of pure silk and lace, and everything is handmade. That means every single one of his dresses is unique. I think I don't have to say more, just look at the pictures and you'll understand the perfection of Boris Pavlin's design.

Prijevod:

Jučer sam išla u showroom Borisa Pavlina, zajedno sa još nekim blogericama, jer je portal ItGirl organizirao jedan jako zabavan event u suradnji sa dizajnerom. Boris je držao malo ''predavanje'' za nas, u kojem je govorio o modi u Hrvatskoj, kako se rade njegove haljine, i tako dalje. Moram vam reći da je ovo bio jedan od najedukativnijih evenata na kojima sam ikad bila! Sad ga još više poštujem kao dizajnera. Sve njegove haljine se rade od čiste svile i čipke, i sve je ručno rađeno. To znači da je svaka od haljina unikat. Mislim da ne moram više ništa reći, samo pogledajte slike i shvatit ćete savršenstvo dizajna Borisa Pavlina.

Although we're all looking forward to Summer right now, all the major fashion houses are preparing their collections for Autumn/Winter 2013/2014. H&M is definitely one of them. Once again, we visited H&M's lovely showroom to preview the upcoming collection. Their new collection for Autumn is really amazing - I love all the military accents and dark tones! Enjoy the pics!

A couple of days ago I went to the presentation of the new Hoegl shoe collection for Spring 2013. The inspiration for the new collection was St. Tropez, so the atmosphere was very French, including music, and the shoes very feminine and chic. If you haven't heard of Hoegl before, it is a high guality Austrian shoe brand, that puts emphasis on the classic women's shoes. Enjoy the pics!

Prije par dana sam prisustvovala prezentaciji nove Hoegl kolekcije cipela za proljeće 2013. Inspiracija za novu kolekciju je bio St. Tropez, tako da je atmosfera bila francuska, uključujući glazbu, a cipele jako ženstvene i chic. Ako prije niste čuli za Hoegl, to je visokokvalitetni austrijski brend cipela, koji stavlja naglasak na klasične ženske cipele. Uživajte u slikama!

The Young Designers Collective is an association of artists and designers based in New York City, who design for non-profit organizations to promote good will as well as gain exposure individually and for the cause we are working towards. Sponsored by SI Design and Consulting Inc, they provide young designers a platform that would have otherwise been difficult to build and gain recognition with on their own. In an ever-shrinking world, working together to achieve success has never been more important.

They allow for a free exchange of ideas and talents, thereby fostering the growth of artists and art in commercial design. They want to bring appreciation back to the artist behind the designer, to quality or handmade products, and to a more sustainable future. From design to production they believe in fair trade and source our materials with this in mind.

By “doing well by doing good” they connect their designers to non-profit organizations in order to create a favorable outcome for both parties. Both benefit from the high quality products designed to produce revenue for the organization and promote the designer’s name into a new or national market. With philanthropy and fashion hand in hand, they hope to further charitable works as well as bring new talent to light sooner than ever before.

With their recent donation to the Heart and Soul Charitable Fund, which was presented at their annual gala auction at Christie's Auction House and auctioned at Charity Buzz, they demonstrate our commitment to philanthropy and the part that art and design can play in facilitating a cause.

Their next project is a line of teen active wear and accessories for the Navigators USA, a national youth service organization started in Harlem in response to the discriminatory practices of the Boy Scouts of America. Now 45 chapters strong, the Navigators USA continues to grow rapidly across the country.They plan to launch the line this fall for release in Spring 2014.

Doesn't this sound amazing?! I really like this idea, and we definitely need something like this in Croatia as well. It's always great to support new, talented artists, especially when they have such kind hearts and want to help others. I look forward to seeing what they have planned next!

Henrietta Ludgate

Henrietta Ludgate showed the best and the most complete collection at the third and final night of Dreft Fashion Week Zagreb. The Scottish designer presented a beautiful, feminine collection that puts emphasis on the woman's silhouette. Thumbs up!

The main colors of my look for the last night were mustard and red. For some reason, I absolutely love the combination of these two colors. Hope you like it too :)

Henrietta Ludgate je pokazala najpotpuniju kolekciju treće i posljednje večeri Deft Fashion Weeka Zagreb. Škotska dizajnerica je predstavila prekrasnu, ženstvenu kolekciju koja naglašava žensku siluetu. Thumbs up! Ako želite znati više o svim kolekcijama, pročitajte moj članak za CroModu OVDJE.

Glavne boje mog looka za zadnju večer su bile boja senfa i crvena. Iz nekog razloga jednostavno obožavam kombinaciju ove dvije boje. Nadam se da se i vama sviđa :)

Toni Rico

I have to say we didn't see almost anything impressive at the second night of Dreft Fashion Week Zagreb. The only collection that actually impressed me was the one by Negarin, a brand from London.  The designer presented a wonderful collection, full of fun prints and colors, but also a lot of great classic coats. I definitely wouldn't mind owning some of the pieces from this collection :)

Toni Rico's retrospective collection was fun as usual, but the other designers were pretty boring in my opinion.

I wore my orange maxi skirt by Zara, combined with a cool PopCouture shirt, and Sway Chic wedges.
Tell me what you think :)

Moram reći da nismo vidjeli gotovo ništa impresivno drugu večer Dreft Fashion Weeka Zagreb. Jedina kolekcija koja me impresionirala bila je ona branda iz Londona, Negarin. Dizajnerica je predstavila divnu kolekciju, punu zabavnih printeva i boja, ali također i puno odličnih klasičnih kaputa. Definitivno ne bih imala ništa protiv da imam neke komade iz ove kolekcije :)
Retrospektivna kolekcija Tonija Rice bila je zabavna kao i obično, ali ostali dizajneri su bili prilično dosadni po mom mišljenju. Ako želite znati više o svim kolekcijama, pročitajte moj članak za CroModu OVDJE.

Nosila sam svoju Zara maksi suknju, iskombiniranu sa cool PopCouture košuljom, i Sway Chic wedgesicama. Recite mi što mislite :)

Katrien van Hecke

Another Dreft Fashion Week Zagreb started yesterday and the designers showed us their vision of Autumn/Winter 2013/2014. My favorite collections were the ones by Tramp in Disguise and Katrien van Hecke. Katrien's collection was very wearable and easygoing, mostly in earthy tones. On the other hand, the collection by Tramp in Disguise was full of bright colors, and prints inspired by Arabian nights. Here's the list of all the other designers that showed their collections last night: Krie Design, Zjena Glamocanin and Milena Rogulj.

I was wearing my new H&M pants, Jessica Simpson wedges and a purple blazer.

Tell me what you think :)

Još jedan Dreft Fashion Week Zagreb je počeo jučer i dizajneri su nam pokazali svoje viđenje jeseni/zime 2013/2014. Moje najdraže kolekcije su bile one Tramp in Disguisea i Katrien van Hecke. Katrienina kolekcija je bila vrlo nosiva i opuštena, pretežno u zemljanim tonovima. S druge strane, kolekcija Tramp in Disguisea je bila puna žarkih boja, i printeva inspiriranih arapskim noćima. Evo liste svih dizajnera koji su prošlu večer pokazali svoje kolekcije: Krie Design, Zjena Glamočanin i Milena Rogulj. Ako želite znati više o svim revijama, pročitajte moj članak za CroModu OVDJE.

Ja sam nosila nove H&M hlače, Jessica Simpson wedgesice i ljubičasti blejzer.

The festival season has officially begun with Coachella, so I decided to do a post dedicated to festival style. Although we all love music, and obviously go to music festivals to enjoy music, we also want to look stylish and cool. For example, during huge festivals like Coachella, Lollapalooza or Glastonbury, everybody is talking about what the celebrities wore. I feel like more people care about who wore what, than who played that day.

Obviously, we don't have huge festivals like these in Croatia. The closest thing we have is INmusic festival, that I attended last year (my posts about it here and here), and I will attend it this year as well. It's actually a great event, the atmosphere is beyond amazing, and this year a lot of different web sites have named it one of the most exciting music festivals in Europe. Sounds good, right?

I know it kinda seems crazy, but I'm already thinking about what I'm going to wear to this three-day event. I absolutely love all the festival style inspiration that's available on different web sites and online shops right now! I will definitely be wearing something rock chic and boho; these are the kind of looks that I personally love to wear, and the festivals are perfect for that.

Here are some of the looks and pieces that I think would be amazing for attending festivals.

Do you like festival style?  Will you be attending any festivals this year?

xoxo S.
