Ghetto Nails

I am pretty sure that you have listened abaout the "gangsta" nails, for example Katy Perry is a famous person who wear this nails. Or Lana del Rey I really love this girl (but this is other topic), and her nails in Born to Die.




Maybe sometimes is excessive or uncomfortable, but this is the nail art and what this represent. Because the X-Large nails was used by gangster´s women (she didin´t need to clean, wash up...)


In countries like USA, you can find this in many places but in Spain (Madrid) it isn´t easy, I found Ghetto Nailz and I love the word that these girls do:

Miranda Makaroff




Miranda Makaroff is a spanish blogger, she does a lot of things, she is: Actress, designer, Dj, ilustrator...
I love her blog because she does not speaks about one thing, she speaks about a lot of things and she tells this spontaneously, she is amazing. I really love the things she does or her style, because she wears what she wants to wear and in Spain there are a few people that do this.

You can see her last collection with her mother (Acid Garden) on her blog.

Season Spring/Summer 2012


This season (Spring/Summer) is full of new trends which are introduced by a lot of designers. This designers usually work for bigbrands (Some of this have their own brand or work for several). Although we already have a new seasom (Fall/Winter), I am going to tell us what we can search right now in shops.

Colors always represent something, they are a symbol, they are very important. For example if a designer shows a “new” color and this is wear by “it girls”, the other designers do not hesitate to use on their next collection.

Mint green:

In this season mint green is one of colors more representative, also one of more imitated by stores like Inditex group or similar.


Chritopher Kane                                           Chanel

Sirens:

This trend (mint green) come with the inspiration of the sea, this desings leave to the deep of the sea like “Atlantis”



Versace                                                                Salvatore Ferragamo

On the runway for Chanel, the singer Florence Welch, who belongs Florence + The Machine, sang one of her songs “What the water gave me”, while she went out of a shell, this represent seabed.



White:

Other of the colors more characteristic of the summer is white. This color represents minimalism, this is one of the most used by brands like Calvin Klein (this brand usually use this style) 


Calvin Klein                 Alexander McQueen

The twenties:

Designers find inspiration in epoche, so they often look for information or photos of these times. For example the twenties, we can find dresses without Lines that mark the figure and low waists. These dresses can have prints in colors like black and gold (Art Déco). Also these dresses can have fringe (Charleston).



Gucci                                                Oscar de la Renta

Pijama:

Follow this times, the late twenties, men wore untidy clothes, this style looked like pijamas or sometimes pijamas were used to go out. These clothes were used in warm seasons.


 

Paul smith                                            Stella McCarney

Sophia Loren:

The inspiration in one of the muse of cinema: Sophia Loren, in the sixties and in her voluptuous figure. This is something that has marked this season: dresses with waist strong and with necklines. It is not the first time that the actress inspires some designs, of course a lot of this designers are italian.




Doce y Galbana                                           Diane Von Furstenberg

Dandy:

The words that characterize the style Dandy are male lines and suits.


Givenchy                                                 Lanvin

Maximalism:

Prints are increasingly present in runways, in every season spring/summer we can found flowers. When prints are mixed between themselves is called maximalism.
