A week or two ago, the amazing bulgarian stylist Rody Radichkov asked me to participateas a model in her styling section of Mall of Sofia’s magazine and here are the fantastic results:

Thank you, Rody!

 As my prom passed, I started to think about a present I shall make to myself and I came up to the conclusion that a giftset should be appropriate enough to satisfy my expectations:

My attention stopped on that Gunmetal Estée Lauder limited set edition by Michael Kors. 

Face Compact: Pure Color EyeShadow (Intense Violet, Lilac Whimsy, Sepia Sand, Ivory Slipper, Wild Truffle, Smoky Ember), Bronze Goddess, Pure Color Lipstick in Crystal Pink, Pure Color Gloss in Brazen Berry, Double Wear Stay-in-Place in Onyx, brushes for eye shadows and blush.

Pure beauty!

My second choice for a lecturer of this year’s Sofia Design Week was Geneviève Gauckler. Born in Lyon, France. Lives and works in Paris. Graduated from ENSAD (Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs) in 1991 in Paris. Geneviève Gauckler is a French artist, illustrator and art director who is best known for her ever-evolving procession of lovable characters and technicolour digital mashes. Her works are bright, fun and hectic – often combining symmetrical designs with soft-edged computer generated images laid against photographed backgrounds. She’s into everything and constantly amazed, handling and creating images and shapes with dexterity and innocence.

 
When asked about her formative influences, she sites an early childhood fascination with the colourful packaging on her favourite breakfast cereals and the title sequence of her favorite TV series, “Flipper”. She spends any she time has available traveling around the world, giving lectures, exhibiting work and obsessively taking photos for her ever expanding collages.

Geneviève Gauckler can look back on broad experience in the field of graphic design, illustration and art direction. Starting with french record label F Communications (Laurent Garnier, St Germain) she later worked with directors Kuntzel & Deygas on promos for Dimitri from Paris, Pierre Henry and Sparks, as well as commercials (e.g. Yves Saint Laurent’s Live Jazz), tittles for French/German cultural TV-channel Arte and some short movies. She has also art-directed the franco-nippon fanzine « Minimix ». 

Three books have been published about her work, in Japan by Gas Book and in France by Pyramyd. Along with this, she has made pther advertisements for Renault, Bourjois, Coca-Cola, Skype, PlayStation, Orange, o2 Germany and Adobe.

   

Apart from working on a regular basis on some advertising jobs (Adobe, Orange, o2 Germany), her next projects is to create a experimental video with Pleix and starting working on her next comic book.

I can not wait to heat her on the 3th of June, starting from 11 o’clock.

Today I had the great pleasure to visit H&M’s showroom again to observe and adore their upcoming Water Collection dedicated to a chariry cause. Twenty-five percent of sales from this collection will be donated to WaterAid, which helps provide clean water and sanitation to some of the world’s poorest areas. The collection – which comes out on May 31st - includes garments made of organic cotton and other sustainable materials. Here is what I captured:

This 80’s allure canda keeps tracking me and I have no other choice than to surrender.

So catchy and joyful, this ball is part of the collection.

I just can’t wait to see these accessories in stores.

Beautiful Rody.

Iva from Inspiration exists and the always smiling Yana.

Mira from  T Q C.

Stay tuned and see you in H&M!

Well, my prom has passed and with the bad weather, the pouring rain washed away my headache and I felt ready to cross the streets pointlessly again. Here is my outfit for this pointless day of mine:

Second hand bomber khaki jacket, Dr. Martens and my new beautiful shirt from Daniela Vapirova.

Well-known Longchamp bag.

Earrings and collar necklace from H&M.

As I got an invitation for H&M’s showoom display of the fall 2012 collection, I got an overwhelming feeling of overexcitement, which made me shiver with impatience. Until yesterday. As I went in the room, my eyes couldn’t stop adding more and more items to my wishlist for the autumn. The collection turned out to be minimalistic, maximalisstic and geometric, making allusions with Balenciaga and YvesSaintLaurent in their masculin and stylish forms and shapes, which, as you know, are my favourite tendences . The silhouette is reminding of an ancient greec statue with its perfectly formed shapes. The main colours of the collection are elegant black, futuristic grey with the typical autumn shades and more bright accents on the tissues. We also see a lot of glitter and metallic in some aspects:

One of my personal favourites is this amazing necklace that I shall NOT miss when it’s in the stores.

There earrings just blew my mind and I can’t wait to wear them!

This 20’s-alike tweed coat is simply waiting for me.

And a pick form the men’s part of the collection where there a mixture of treed, velvet, wool, bombers and leather.

After this sleepless night of disasters, I managed my way to the H&M showroom where the fall 2012 collection was on display. I shall inform you on that with some visual materials, but first, let me show you my outfit for today:

Old-new summer leather boots, velvet skirt

Well-known Hurley bag and vintage cat-eyes 

Pleated long jillette

Here’s Rody Radichkov’s selecion of her favourite street style ladies for the June issue of ELLE Bulgaria, 2012, where I had the pleasure to participate in:
