another year's feelings...cliches of december...

above a lamp designed by Julia Violeta- Ventura Design-Brazil. Isn't it futuristic??



Hi Guys,


Missing writing in here my confessions and confidences about my life in London and things around me. lol Sometimes i feel like saying more than i should in here...like telling everything which is in my mind...i may get rich if somebody publish that but i am afraid i may have to die after revealed it...hehehe cause may be dangerous living after that...hahahaha no...serious i am not exaggerating! lol


One day maybe i will have the balls to do it and fuck it all...hahaha
I still may be a bit away because i am going to Berlin for new years which is going to bring lots of things to talk about as usual. I probably will go to this new place in there called Renate. Apparently it is a very cool club in a old block of building ...which each room it is a different party with a great tecno music...a bit dirty ..the way that i like! lol
Ahhh i love Berlin...how can people find the german language rash...i find it sexy...when someone is talking to me it sounds like they are ready to put me against the wall...hahahaha Need to learn some and then i could live there when i would be bored of London...Luis and Maura are taking some classes...i should get in the mood but sometimes is too hard for my soft latin pronunciation...hahaha


Recently i have been to my friend's studio in Mare street for the Borba Margo sample sales! Such a nice accessories designed by Anderson Borba which i must show in here and you guys can find out how to get it! Don't even wanna get in details about it right now because i want to make a proper post about the brand. It deserves it. But..... i got depressed...first i found a amazing bag there ...you know...some of those unique items...really nice...but i really couldn't afford getting it now...because i am going to travel and stuff...and i keep dreaming on the bag....lol really cool ..will have to visit his studio again later. Second thing...i took amazing pictures of the hole collection to post it and use for some releases and i lost them when i was transferring to my computer couple of days ago....affff...stupid! i should be drunk by that time...i got so upset....anyway i always can go back there and do it again...but now next year....it will be already a project for next year...another year...


Talking about another year... i watched "Another year", the new film by the english director Mike Leigh and i got terrified how deep is the story. It is a proper intimate drama about ordinary people's life. And the intriguing thing is...every one could have felt like that one day...lonely..and what is worse... with less than half of the age of the characters of the story. What apparently could be just one more ordinary happy family scene turns into a existentialism dilemma. Perfect to be on at this time of the year....when everyone is been taken by the end of the years feelings...


Tell me... who has never did any sort of reflexion about what needs to be done for the next...or about new projects and goals? I tend to do some lists of things which i want to put focus in ...hahaha long ones...some of the sentences are there year after year such as..." eat more health, stop smoking, do regular exercises, travel to such place, do such a course, find a terrific love..." hahahaha cliches of the end of the year....sometimes i couldn't manage to tick all of the plans out of my list and ...some other years i managed to tick almost all of them and some others which weren't even listed and i didn't expected to get it done! It is great when that happen! But one thing is truth ...just you can determinate how it will be your next years' December feelings! hahahaa


One thing i always tend to do during those xmass days...check my old friends from Brazil's pictures on Facebook which i don't see them for a long time and see what they are doing...like a sort of nostalgic curious habit...nearly voyer. lol I always end up finding people which i are doing amazing cool things...things that i like because It could be a common interest... things that i like it because i don't know anything about it and i want to get know more...it is great!! I always had creative friends and a lot of my inspiration comes from them. I like to be surrounded of creative people...that what makes me feel alive and maybe that is one of the reasons which brought me to London.


Talking about creative people, old friends, and accessories...i found my friend from high school, Julia, which we used to spend long afternoons together after classes, eating sweets, watching movie, drawing and talking about life and making plans! She is now designing a lot of things made from glass...even items for decoration or even bracelets in her studio ventura design. http://www.venturadesign.com.br/ I love it! Had to tell her...
Anyway i am writing to much...this is becoming a diary which had no intention to be at the first...well why not? I guess autobiography is in vogue now lol and people love reading them...hahahaha But i actually always said bad things about people who put their hole life online...too much....but i guess sometimes you let it go...maybe because i am alone now in the office...bored...when no body is here anymore for today...and i am just waiting for the time to go and have a nice xmass!
Happy xmass everyone!!!






Bracelets by Ventura design- Brazil. ps: i love the tattoos too Julia...thau!

Allegoricall winter...Fashion is art and creations!



Viktor Rolf 2010/2011



Alexander Mac Queen 2010/2011

Because we like the street looks but also the sophistication and glamorous of the high fashion too. Specially when they bring something new and futuristic with influences from the Victorian style bringing together the classic and the future trough innovations. I love those two outfits above! I could perfectly walk down Liverpool Street in the middle of the offices and get in a red bus dressing the Viktor Rolf outfit! You? Something casual... lol Thau!

Hallowen outfits!! Let your freak side out!

Hey guys for sure Halloween is a time to let your freak and obscure side out! lol This year we celebrated the date together with two of my friends b-day! Mauricio Stein and Maura Furtado. Both great personalities! And the idea was to bring to the party not just all those cliche fake bloods but also all the memories of some of the most dark, cool, dare, junkies and suicidal rock stars of all the time. We quite identify ourselves with some of them, right guys? Who never wanted to be a rock star one day?? hehehe A part of that those memorable idols always had great and creatives styles which still make a lot of influence in our Fashion at the present moment such as bits of the punk, grunge, metal, sexy, kinder whore. Some characters who some people would never remember about in that date were considerated by us a example of horror outfit due their freak behavior! Dressing up as vampires, witches and mummies are kind of old fashion now!! You need to rock a bit more and get on your creativity!

Above a great picture of Gene Simmons from the Kiss (Luis Falconeri), Sebastian Bach of the Skid Row (Mathyas Autin), Axel Rose of the Guns n Roses (Mauricio Stein), the skin head of the movie "This is England" hahaha (Franco Peccin). So let's have a rock n roll Halloween!!

Maura was getting in a overdose as Courtney Love - the Kurt Cobain's junkie girlfriend. Hahaha i don't know if i should admit this in here but i think the character kind of suits her very well! lol

Attention...the baby pink color is back...i love the romantic atmosphere of that...in the case of Courtney...she had a freak romance...who hasn't??

Attention to the girl on the right...my friend Lucy. Her black outfit was all made of black binbags. Very dirty, trashy and style! Was looking great and very creative! Shame that this picture doesn't show the hole thing very well! Cool Lucy!

As i have already thought....dressing as Amy Winehouse or as Lady Gaga could be a perfect Halloween outfit! The intention is to scary and shock and i think both of them are good on it! Don't you agree???

And in the middle of the rock n roll Halloween some people we couldn't tell if they were dressing up or if they were just like themselves...in the case of the crowd was a bit difficult to tell! hahaha

And bellow joining the picture Madonna in two versions ...(Carmela Peccin) in the middle..perfect dressed as the singer in the VMA 85 and on the right hand side ( Eda).

I still have many other pictures of some embarrassing moments...some was censored and others i still want to post...lol

I am not in those pictures cause as normal i got there late and i am in my camera's pictures...which could take as the rock in roll Halloween....part 2...so don't worry some people didn't escape yet! lol

On Sunday Me, Luis and Mau went to Maura's to help to clean the house ( that's the bad part of the house parties). Luis showed to us great skills as a cleaner and kind of coordinated the team. We managed to clean all in the middle laughs and jokes...yeah was a great weekend...and guess what???? We found a used condom in the garden!! hahahaha what a naughty obscene kids! lol
But the carpet was still black! Does Anyone know a special carpet cleaner company's number???

After spending the evening at Eda b-day's dinner i forgot my camera in Mauricio's place when i went to sleep in the middle of him and Luli .. the way that i love! lol

Still couldn't be able to pick up as i am having a busy week...so you guys will have to wait to see who else has been in the Maus and Mauras 30's b-day/Halloween party.

By the way....the pictures above are by Mathyas Autin! Credits to him....

Thau! And i hope u guys had a terrible and horrible Halloween!!!

Getting bargains over the sunday!!



Me, Mauricio and Franco were walking around during a hangover Sunday and we found this very curious market around Pimlico with little bargains. Mauricio wanted to surprise Luis (his boyfriend) with a small gift...and we found this charming leopard chair which i found really cute..we thought " Luis would love to seat on it to do his work in front of the computer...) kkk a piece of glamors in his room!"

so... we went back to Mauricio's and left the present there for the next day when Luis would be coming back from Berlin...hope he likes it! Thau!

Vogue is made of old lesbians women which don't know anything about fashion!!!



Boy George was probably right by that time and ever i think!!! What he said in the middle of the 80's we can still adapt to our present moment! Let's be ourselves! Fuck the fashion rules! kkk Thau!

ps: not that i have anything against lesbians...specially me which walk very often into the gay scene! But i found funny his sentence...and i find the vogue really boring at the moment....

How many dick heads can you fit in a Honda???



Hello guys!! If you want to be cool get on your Honda for a weekend time with your friends. What you need it is a bit of style, some booze, a Polaroid camera and some candies...heheheh so good this advert.. thau!

Cute sweet things around....



Let's show some cute and girly things ... i must admit that i have my girly days sometimes and i like the style...because we also can be sweet too...lol

Love hair bands...any different types...they give a plus to the outfit a part of been super feminine. Those vintage styles with flowers and feathers it is a glamour and a trip back to the 40's , 50's, 60's!


Sooo cute that ted bear necklace.....on the lace outfit!

And outside the shop i loved this bench...wanted to take home! Or i can make the same style in my kitchen table if my flatmates allowed me! hehehe...thau!

Andy Warhol of the electronic scene!

Larrys Tee's B-day was all about dancing....and fuck everything! The celebration of the charismatic and irreverent NY's dj was a kind of meeting for many characters of the night as usual! The LFW's photographer Billa photostream was there registering all the weird and freak styles.. Same as me...lol

What we could see was a group of normal people in a normal London's sunday....hahahaha For sure Larry knows what to play to get the crowd shaking and smashing!




To get to know more about the NY Dj now living in London check http://www.myspace.com/nylarrytee.

Larry was called by the DJ magazine as the "Andy Warhol of the electronic music" in 2009. Maybe because of his attitude on stage and his relation to the fashion scene and people.

He promised to give me an interview for here and the Pura magazine which i am elaborating but for now....

A bit of Larry...

"One of NYC's most legendary DJs, Larry Tee, created the term 'ELECTROCLASH' for his historic festivals of the same name, started the party DISCO 2000 that was featured in the movie 'Party Monster", DJ'ed alongside Larry Levan, and has just been certified gold with his new single 'Licky' which features Princess Superstar, Santigold, and Top 40 pop star Shontelle. His Electroclash Festivals and his club nights in Brooklyn featured the Scissor Sisters, Felix Da Housecat, 2 Many DJs, Tiga, Peaches, and James Murphy from LCD Soundsystem.

Larry has also been on fire of late as a remixer, putting his go-to touch on smashes by La Roux, Crookers feat. Róisín Murphy, Lady Gaga, Kele, and Major Lazer. Touring his new album 'CLUB BADD' out worldwide on ULTRA, he has been supported by DJs like Justice, Erol Alkan, Crookers, Pete Tong, Jesse Rose, David Guetta, MSTRKRFT, and the songs have been remixed for an upcoming collection CLUB BADDER by Afrojack, Sébastien Léger, Hervé, Bart B More, Kris Menace, and Steve Aoki to name a few.

How everything started.....

But Tee's experience goes back further to the 80s when he lived in Atlanta and became friends friends with Athens' stars Michael Stipe from REM and the B-52's. In the 90s he wrote the Billboard Magazine #1 Dance song of 1992 by RuPaul (now a TV star in the USA), DJ'ed with Frankie Knuckles, David Morales and Danny Tenaglia at the Roxy, Palladium, and Love Machine, started the legendary Disco 2000 party at Limelight (which was the first club to feature techno on the main floor in the States), and launched Twilo Fridays which introduced Sasha & Digweed and Carl Cox to the big room clubs in NYC. In the 00s he launched Electroclash and put out 3 genre-defining albums that featured many of his own songs, and he helped launch the electro craze with his festivals in NYC and Europe. His debut album, Club Badd, has been embraced by clubbers around the world, and he is touring non-stop before his next album of collaborations comes out in 2011. His latest single "Lets Make Nasty," with its Afrojack remix, spent 5 weeks at #1 on Beatport earlier this year" via www.myspace.com/larrytee

And we had fun and i met so many interesting people....

Haha i always need to have pictures of shoes in my posts! I am getting a bit obsessed now! The truth is the shoes says a lot of a person and i love the different styles!

Let's show art....

Bellow my new NY friend the documenter Megan Mantia. She looked like she didn't just paint her face but that she was all painted by an artist. She was a great picture!

We talked and shared some interests and she promised sending me some more material of her work and she was telling me how is NY city lifestyle ...she said " come over anytime"...i loved it because of course the city "which never sleeps" it is on the top of my list...and i need to get it done soon!


NY people in London....that's what Larry brought to the town! and the punk are back!!




And the night was full of irreverence, boldness and flamboyant people...


Shoes again...Black and white...a classic!


The singer of the band Coolness, the shoreditch boy Chaz John Ross. Check their myspace for more information http://www.myspace.com/tenderlovingcoolness.


My friend Radek Dubinski . He is a must everywhere and have a night with him is a guarantee of fun, comic and dancing...lots! He is such a kinky guy...hahahaha and he is always surprising due his outfit's irreverence.




And my lovely little Swedish friend, C.Gordon Feltham. He is so elegant always even if when he wants to play any character.

and...kiss my ass! Thau!


Looking for a winter jumper around east London!


Hello guys,

as the weather is going to start freezing our bones i thought could be the time to get on the winter jackets and jumpers. A part of the new styles or collections....the good classic vintage always works in this cases. I personal love it anyway. Furs...Furs...furs...furs...lots! calm down ....they are fake! Fake furs! lol yeah in case of real furs you got to be careful with the activists! I never forget when the brazilian top model Gisele Bundchen nearly got attacked for been wearing one in America! Anyway let's not discuss this polemic in here because i know some people love to wear a good real fur and i don't intend to make anyone to feel guilty...i don't feel able for that...i have my own guilt...

So i went to search for a nice jumper or knitting sweater because a part of warm they can be very style in different colors! They can be wore with trousers, leggings, shorts, tights or simple as a dress in case of the oversized ones.


I love this in front of the Brick Lane shop! hahahaha as they told us already in that video which takes the piss out of the east london boys... definitely you need a military moustache!!!! To be honest i find quite charming by the way....


Pick one! With stripes, chess, leopard, black, brow, white....

Those two were my favorites findings! I like the pink one. It is a strong lively color.

And the black and white with golden embroidery details is a kind of sophisticated and could be wore on its own as a dress! I ended up not buying anyone because i still need to get ridded of my ones from the last winter and be able to fit any new shopping in my wardrobe. The problem with those jumpers is they take a lot of space if you want to have different ones! afff...

Maybe i can go anytime to make some sales at Brick Lane market! lol

Decadance avec elegance.... thau!




Street Style that we love!!

Hello guys!!

For boys and girls...some of the most popular east London street styles around here! Dark colors with jeans it is a perfect combination anytime!

American style hat, jean vest, long sleeve shirt, faded black denim, and skate style training's. YOYOYO...hehe


What it is for sure a trend is the rock/punk influence on the street style. Specially with the Brazilian model living in London, Alice Dellal, who is in vogue after bringing back the shaved hair style recently! Yes she born in Brazil...a lot of people don't know!

Black top, black leather jacket, silver studded belt, jeans shorts a bit high waist, ripped black tights and buskin boots.
The jovial look of the shorts plus the aggressiveness of the black make a sort of "Kinder Whore" outfit, which we could see so many times on Britney Spears.... passing over the message "the little girl is not any longer innocent or virgin". It is a way to show up a kind of attitude ..."that kinda of attitude"....which we love it! lol

Check it out Alice Dellal during Patricia Vieira catwalk ( her auntie) in Copacabana Palace, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. She for sure didn't complete forget the brazilian way of been...lol

Thau!

Meet Fanny and Jessy's collection!

Hello guys!

I really needed to show those looks in here!

Fanny and Jessy is one of the new young fashion labels which impressed me at the most this season! I like their aspiration based in the youth culture of today and how they express the woman in a sensual, visionary, modern and androgyny way trough their collection! Their outfit is made for those self confident, alternative, contemporary girls with no fear of the transparency, the boyish and fetish elements, the intricate shapes, the new unconventional fabrics and the aggressiveness of the dark and powerful leathers and synthetic looks! It is all about the attitude!

The collection intend to drop the common and clichés concepts of the feminine and bring something experimental, innovative and boldness to the girls outfits! They can prove that a street style with bits of punk influence can also be very elegant, contemporary, sensual and seductive!!

I knew about them trough my friend Mauricio Stein who is developing some sunglasses for their label in collaboration with his label Maustein. I saw i few pieces and got really amazed by the hole look book!

During the Fashion week i met Jessy ( Jess Jobst) -who is a very sweet person by the way- and she sent me over some images of their collection that i could use in here and in my others writings such as the Brazilian magazine, Pura, and the Tellus Fashion uk website ( launching soon). She was wearing their label's coat with the golden chains rings! Sooo good! I particularly loved that one!

check it out some pieces of their look book! They are a proper absurd! I love them all! Not just because they can be a trend or anything like that. I personal really identify myself in their concept of something dare, innovative because we are all tired of the same things!!

















Those Somerset english girls, graduate from London College of Fashion in 2009, had first collection ‘I Hope You Die Soon’ been wore by Celebrities suc as Saint Saviour of Groove Armada, Rihanna, Sarah Harding of Girls Aloud, Caroline of Kap Bambino and Bourgeois and Maurice. Their second one titled ‘Vaniloquence’, released in February 2010, has already had some of its pieces borrowed by Lady Gaga for her world-wide tour. With a good response from the press their collection is mentioned by the Dazed Japan's latest edition a part of magazines such as Phoenix and Super Super.
