SS12 Fashion Trend Report: All White

White is a must have classic, especially for summer, and the current season was no exception. Total white simply had to be there, either in crisp, almost sterilised, clean looks that favored precision-cut tailoring, or in frivolous, girly ensembles where broderie anglaise, lace and sheer fabrics were absolute stars.

Το λευκό είναι κλασικό χρώμα για την γκαρνταρόμπα, ειδικά το καλοκαίρι, και η φετινή σεζόν δεν αποτέλεσε εξαίρεση. Οι ολόλευκες εμφανίσεις ήταν εκεί, είτε με 'αυστηρά', σχεδόν αποστειρωμένα, καθαρά λουκ, με σαφή προτίμηση στα κοψίματα ακριβείας, είτε με ανάλαφρα, κοριτσίστικα σύνολα όπου η μπροντερί ανγκλαίζ, η δαντέλα και οι διαφάνειες ήταν οι απόλυτες σταρ.

Doesn't white look so cool now with the weather being so melting hot? It just looks like the sea foam, calling you to dive in... So let's all empty our heads from worries and dive into majestic, brilliant, classic summer white!

Δε δείχνει τόσο δροσερό το λευκό τώρα που ο υδράργυρος έχει χτυπήσει κόκκινο; Φαίνεται σαν τον αφρό της θάλασσας, που μας καλεί να βουτήξουμε... Ας αδειάσουμε λοιπόν τα κεφάλια μας από τις έννοιες και ας βουτήξουμε στο μεγαλειώδες, λαμπερό, κλασικό καλοκαιρινό λευκό!

The Bad, The Good And The Beautiful Or, Amoronia's Adventures In Beach Party-Land

You know those moments when everything seems to be going wrong, right? A catastrophe often comes when you least expect it. When you're at a party, for example, enjoying yourself. And when you're at a beach party, chances are people will smoke. A crowded beach party means you never know when someone will accidentally burn your beautiful new white top with their cigarette and then rip the criss cross design off with their ring, in a desparate effort to make sure you're OK...

Oh, yes. That's what happened to my new top... But as all crafters know well, a catastrophe can be the ideal starting point for something new. So I decided to wash and dry my ruined top, and then took my scissors, thread and needle and got to work.

These are a couple of flowers that I made, white cotton flowers that look like roses or carnations.



And you know what? I decided to make them into statement cocktail rings, big and small, because these rings will never rip someone else's top... They are wonderfully soft to the touch, and wearing them is like a caress to your finger.



Those Cool White Recycled Fabric Flowers, Adjustable Cocktail Rings are available in my Etsy shop as of yesterday.

White Roses

-------

John Boyle O'Reilly (1844-1890)

A White Rose

The red rose whispers of passion,
And the white rose breathes of love;
O the red rose is a falcon,
And the white rose is a dove.

But I send you a cream-white rosebud
With a flush on its petal tips;
For the love that is purest and sweetest
Has a kiss of desire on the lips.





You will find the earrings already in my shop, and the necklace is coming soon...
