Bananas bag DIY

I think that the Prada banana print looks like the bananas are popping out of the fabric so I wanted to make this effect real and I decided to do a fun bag with "banana fringes".

 Guardando la stampa di Prada,le banane sembrano proprio venir fuori dalla stoffa! Ho deciso divertirmi a rendere questo effetto reale e a confezionare una borsetta con le banane a mo di frange.


 the inspiration:Prada banana skirt
l'ispirazione: la gonna di Prada
I used an heavy yellow cotton,fabric pen,scissors,adhesive canvas,wooden beads
Cotone pesante,penna per la stoffa, forbici,telina adesiva,perline in legno

On the back of the fabric I've ironed an adhesive fabric so the cotton won't unthread
Ho incollato con il ferro della telina adesiva così il cotone non sfilerà
I've cut many pieces of cotton in the shape of bananas
A questo punto ho tagliato tanti pezzi di cotone dalla forma di banana
I used a fabric pen to draw the outline
Ho tracciato i contorni con una penna per la stoffa

I've cut the bag in a "fish bowl" shape and I've pinned onto it all the bananas
Ho deciso di dare alla borsa una forma arrotondata e ci ho appuntato con degli spilli tutte le banane

I've used a few big wooden beads to make the handle.
Alla fine ho usato delle perline in legno molto grandi per realizzare il manico della borsa.

Vintage find of the day: the lace jumpsuit


Even if summer is arriving to its end I still feel the need of relaxing sunny days that's why I picked this fabulous vintage piece. It's a jumpsuit made of white lace and remainds of D&G summer collection plus it's a seventies design and we all know that the 70's mood will be en vogue this coming autumn.
If you feel the urge to live fashionably the last bits of summer, you can find this fab jumpsuit on ebay, here.

Gareth Pugh did it again and he brings us in a world populated by space samurai. We start with clean cuts in white detailed with laser cuts.This panna colour is fantastic and i like the volant on hips the increase the ratio between waist and hips giving a more feminine look event with this very clean model. The fabric looks heavy but as the model walks the white trousers seems soft. The laser cut white silhouettes look geometrically cracked i like this effect. I like this collection because shows a concept and its opposite at the same time:the clean look give way to flashy silver metal eccessive dresses. The result is ipnotic i specially like the waterfall jacket. Notes for the catwalk: men with bags and the rigid metal accessories: belts and necklaces.
