Organic jewelry had its humble beginnings when the Native Americans strung together a bunch of sea shells. Since then, it has grown, by leaps and bounds, to become an integral part of the fashion industry – thanks to the growing popularity of pearls. Yet many people aren’t aware of the fact that pearls, quite simply, are obtained when oysters handle an irritation by coating it with calcium carbonate and which…
Model Stereotypes
Preamble: what’s a job? After all I’ve always thought a job basically is (or defines) WHAT YOU DO, not WHAT YOU ARE. I mean, mine is not holy rule but just a general opinion. I grew up with a dad… he was a lathe turner in a big factory (wait, “was” ‘cause now retired!), he worked so hard every day, but when he came back home, not a single word…
Models Casting
It happens for some girls whose castings don’t go the way they expect or just hope to feel low, dejected, fall in tears. Most of the times they’re very young, so, you know, it happens to be kind of more “emotional” at that age, but as a model, it can always happen a moment when you just want to close in your own room and to fall in tears. It’s…

Bali Bracelets
Article Written by : A Wedding Ideas Have you ever considered what your wrist accessories might be saying about you? I don’t mean in the sense that they are saying nasty things about you behind your back. What I mean is: what does that bracelet at the end of your arm say about the unique individual that you are? Bali bracelets might be telling the world that you are as…
Vanessa Axente @ Vogue Japan February 2016 cover by Patrick Demarchelier – I feel there’s a huge disturbance in the force
I still have to do the post about Vanessa Axente @ Vogue Italia December 2012 by… no, really, why should I write by who?, and considering it’s almost January I actually don’t know if I’m going to do it or not, but I have to say something caught my attention in an even more powerful way. Sure, that doesn’t mean reasons are “positive” or anything in that enthusiastic direction, but……
Fashion Design Inspiration and Sources
Article Written by : Backstage Lounge Fashion Design is an area that is influenced a lot by different sources of inspiration. You need to be very observant to understand new forms, shapes, figures and structures and to remember them in detail. For this reason, a lot of designers will keep a sketchbook with them, to write down what they observe. In most cases, designers are inspired by: 1. The materials…
Real Women, Real Beauties
Words have a meaning; I mean, if to say something you use certain words instead of some others a reason there must be – and in fact there is. One of the most inflated, hackneyed and used at random words in fashion is “anorexia”. I won’t write too much today ‘cause after all that’s not the real point, but you know, if “the industry” uses it to have something to…
Fashion Is for the Entire Year
Some say people lose sight of fashion at the start of the fall — going so far as to put away their amazing helix stud earrings — because the summer parties have been left behind with the sun-dappled days and the de rigueur personal sprucing demanded by a relentless holiday season has yet to get underway. But all that’s necessary to counter these folks’ unfounded claims is to share with…
Fashion Week Coma
As you can see this season I opted for a Fashion Weeks month coma; I don’t know if it’s a smart and actually effective solution, maybe it is/was, maybe not, but a passive solution is still better than a painful whatever-happened-last-seasons. That said don’t worry, I tried to be a little more apathetic, the way I am with practically anything else for the record, but in any case in a…
