Madrid shoes fair: Modacalzado
Saturday, September 26th, 2009
At 1.00 PM we arrived to Madrid, Sofie from Sweden and Guenda from Italy, we met at the airport where from we took a taxi to the shoe fair Modacalzado! It seems that this time there are more visitors then the last time, which is very good!
After a lot of walking and looking our impression of the shoe fashion for the spring/summer 2010 is that there will be a llot of colours which gives you a very positive feelings. Especially now when the autumn, with all dark colours is coming.
Also the shapes of the shoes are very different from flats to double high platforms and wedges.
We have already put two orders! One with elegant dressy sandals and the other one are more “every day” sandals and ballerinas.
After the fair closed we took walk in the centre of Madrid, we had a very nice dinner at a restaurant in front of the Opera theatre!
We are very lucky with the weather it’s very warm and the sun shines until late!
We’ll keep you updated!
Greetings from Sofie and Guenda
Fashionable toe nails!
Saturday, July 25th, 2009
With summer comes sandals, with sandals comes the idea about your nails! A classic that never goes out of fashion is the french manicure, that gives your nails a simple but fresh look. This season dark coloured nail varnish is a big hit, in competition to the multi-colour scale: from purple to mauve, blue and deep red etc. You can also notice the nail fashion by looking at the Hollywood celebrities wearing very strong colours. If you want to go safe red varnish is always a fashionable choice, you can choose from coral to wine red. The stylists have been taken inspiration from an issue of Vogue from the 30′s that proposed bi-coloured nails (coral and nude fanlight) that this summer has been re-used not only in the beauty section but also in the shoe world. The trend has been introduced this season and will still go strong for the winters footwear with multi-coloured combination and patchworks.
Choose a colour that match your outfits or sandals!
Greetings from Bread & Butter Berlin
Friday, July 10th, 2009
Our co-worker Giacomo have sent us his photos and notes of the Bread and Butter, one of the most important fashion fairs.
“The location of the tradeshow was amazing, the horseshoe shaped airport that was built in the 30′s very close to the centre of Berlin. The organization was perfect, even though the fair was crowded there were no queues or other problems with the space or movements. There weren’t many fashion news, more or less the products were similar to the last year in Barcelona. The stands and decorations on the fair were full of colours and many stands followed a recycled theme , reversible materials like paperboard, pipes and books etc. For sure what impressed me the most was the place and the urban atmosphere with vintage airplanes, sprint cars, a great gruop of people that were moving with skateboard, bicycles and mini motors, but the most woth seeing was the various and particular street style personalities.”
Eco-fashionable
Wednesday, July 1st, 2009
Go Green! Be trendy by helping the nature. Eco-fashion is a term that you hear more and more often, clothes and accessories that meet such criteria are usually made using organic raw materials, such as cotton grown without pesticides, or re-used materials such as recycled plastic from old soda bottles etc. We have been making some re-search and found this original dress designed by Fanny Lawaetz that used the leather of her grandmas old sofa to produce this beautiful creation. Also at the fashion fair Pitti Immagine last month you could notice the eco-fashion, for example the recycled bags from Momaboma you could find there.
The italian brand Momaboma created by Maurizio Longati from Bologna, that after many years of travelling got inspirated to produce recycled bags and accessories. The products are made of old newspapers, cartoons, fabrics from old military zacs and parachutes, vinyls, old motorcycle leather jackets etc. all materials strictly recycled. The new entry of the brand is the MyMomaboma: a possibility for everyone that would like to personilize for example a bag with everything from love letters to old family photos. Momaboma uses very fashionable shapes of their bags and the details are not to miss, for example the lining are made of selected vintage silk fabric which gives them a touch of luxury.
