The Catorialist

 

We are all fans of Scott Schuman eye for streetstyle fashion; his blog has inspired many others to follow his footsteps. If you think you already seen all influential streetstyle fashion blogs, you're wrong. In fact there's one you missed. During my internet wanderings I found a real gem:The Catorialist, the cat version of The Sartorialist where the camera captures the best of "cat style" accompained by very witty comments, a very clever parody! Visit it and it will put a smile on your face.

THE CATORIALIST

Scott Schuman è indubbiamente un pioniere della moda sul web,i suoi scatti sono stati i primi a immortalare lo stile di persone vere incontrate per la strada; il suo blog ha ispirato molti altri a seguire i suoi passi. Se pensate di conoscere  i blog di moda più influenti dovrete ricredervi; sicuramente vi siete persi The Catorialist, la versione felina di The Sartorialist, dove ad essere immortalati sono i gatti incontrati per la strada. I commenti ricalcano lo stile di Schuman, una parodia spiritosa e intelligente.

Like a walking museum: wear paintings!

This is so good and different! This girl wears a silk skirt with a painting printed on it!
And guess what? It can easily copied looking at yesterday post on knotting scarves.
I'll tell you how. As we said scarves come in a variety of patterns and i've seen many times paintings printed on them (usually you can find these types of scarves in museum souvenirs shops).
So first thing buy these scaves with a famous painting of your choice,then an Hermes card comes handy:

and the skirt is done.Want to do something more refined?Then use scarves as they were fabric!
Super easy too:just put the 2 scarves one onto the other and sew them at the sides obtaining a tube (pay attention at the width of the tube, your hips have to fit in it!) now add an elastic at the waist and the skirt is done!
A skirt like this will be very unique,definitely you'll get the head turn effect!

Com'è originale questo look! Nella foto la ragazza indossa una gonna di seta con un quadro stampato.La cosa più interessante è che possiamo copiare il suo look rileggendo i suggerimenti del post di ieri.
Come abbiamo già detto i foulard vengono stampati con molte fantasie, tra queste anche i quadri famosi! Foulard del genere sono facili da trovare nei negozi di souvenir dei musei.
Ed è qui che i consigli di Hermes ci vengono in aiuto:comprate un paio di questi foulard con il quadro che vi piace,guardate la figurina di Hermes dove un foulard viene legato dietro la schiena e uno davanti e la gonna è fatta!
Se volete un risultato più rifinito potete sempre utilizzare i foulard al posto della stoffa!
Mettetene uno sopra l'altro e cucite lateralmente i bordi ottenendo un tubo (fate attenzione che sia abbastanza largo per farci passare i fianchi) poi aggiungete un elastico in vita ed il gioco è fatto!
Otterrete una gonna unica che sicuramente vi renderà oggetto dell'attenzione dei passanti!

My wishlist: the Fendi peekaboo

When i first saw this bag i didn't know to like it or not. I usually like more detailed and strange designs. This bag presents itself like one of those that want to be THE classic bag. The design is very clean and simple; the beauty of this bag is in the quality of leather and in its colour. The thing i disliked was this "bag in the bag effect", it seems the leather holds another bag inside. After some thinking i saw this beautiful pink colour that made me love this bag. I wish i could have one! Look how this bag make herself noticed in this outfit in one of "the sartorialist" pictures. If you're guessing whom are these shoes, they are from Pierre Hardy.
