Sparkling Bubbles Diary by lia makrigeni

The new season is almost ready for Spring and Summer 2013 and I want to present to you my choices for the top fashion trends of the summer that you must have in your wardrobe. Monochrome: For all of you who believe that monochrome is boring, this year we have the answer from all the top fashion industry names that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not. The minimalist tendency made its debut to the largest runways like Gucci and Mark Jacobs.

Opposites attract and this year monochrome proves that to us with the black and white prints which until now everyone thought were boring. Think about it.

Dior Bronze - After Sun Light, non oily and refreshing, it comforts sun-kissed skin and reveals a golden radiant tan on the face and body. I definately recommend it...

GET THE LOOK Going ‘Sockless’ This Summer

An easy way to prevent your feet from getting too hot during the summer is by simply going “sockless”. A simple touch that can communicate a certain maturity of style. Going “sockless” with a white button down, colourful chinos and some classic penny loafers can be the ultimate statement of a casual outfit. Shoes that are designed for going “sockless” look best with well-fitted, tapered pants with a minimal cut. Generally it’s a way to keep your look casually consistent from head to toe. Wearing baggy pants that puddle at your shoes not only looks bad in general it defeats the purpose of going “sockless.” When you choose to wear shoes “sockless” with more formal outfits, like a suit for example, it’s a way to make a fashion statement – think of it in the same way as you would wear brightly coloured socks during cold winter nights. with Lace-ups

with Loafers and Drivers

Grooming Tip Clean your face and use an SPF moisturizer daily. # Cleansing Depending on what skin type you have, use the right cleanser. “I’m fine using soap.” Nope, you’re not. The problem caused when using ordinary soap whilst washing your face is that it dries up your skin more than liquid cleansers do. Dry skin can cause other problems such as clogged pores and acne. A cleanser should be used in order to remove accumulated dirt and excess skin oil. Don’t prefer cleansers that contain harsh chemicals or detergents that strip away essential moisture from your body. # Use an SPF moisturizer It’s suggested that you should use an SPF moisturizer all year round. Noting that it’s even more important to use it during the summer months. When using an SPF moisturizer it can help you avoid a lobster red complexion, but if you use your daily moisturizer that consists of UV protection then you’re less likely to age your skin earlier, avoiding deep set wrinkles in the future.

Aqua Blue Feeling blue? Well it is this seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most eye-catching trend. There are many shades but only one colour to sport this summer. From cobalt at Marni to cornflower at Acne and aquamarine at Burberry, take a deep breath and dive in.

PRINTS S/S 2013 is all about letting your clothes do the talking - foreign postage stamps at Mary Katrantzou, Sicilian folklore at Dolce & Gabbana and colourful exaggerated leopard print at Kenzo. Go bold, go bright, go forth. .

geometrical Sit up and pay attention please. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to go back and attend the geometry class. Thankfully fashion is much more exciting with jumbo checks at Marc Jacobs and super even stripes at Moschino. So grab your ruler and measure up this SS/13.

PARALLEL UNIVERSE

FRAME YOUR STYLEELYTS RUOY EMARF By Haris Tsamis

Sunglasses… are the essential part of both men’s and women’s wardrobe, making it a necessary accessory that adds the fishing touch to your outfit without any effort. Apart from the sun protection, sunglasses bring a new shine to our face, attaching a stylish veil of mystery to the person that wears them. To all those people who want to update their look, these are the latest trends with various styles to match your look with your personal mood. Men’s Style and Trends… For 2013, fashion houses have chosen to do a journey back in time. There is a clear return to the old, irresistible, timeless style. The keyword for the season is retro. The lines are clean bringing in mind the aviator and the geek chic styles. Colour is prevalent to all styles. Have a look at this season’s trends!!

# Retro Style All go back in time. It is the retro design of the 1950’s, 1970’s, and the 1980’s that offers a classically polished look to the season’s sunglasses lineup. The brands do an excellent work of covering all the retro looks that are currently in fashion. Giorgio Armani and Persol are the greatest representatives of this style. In fact, they continue to feature the line of round lenses, very clean lines and forms. Classic and incredibly simple, it’s the perfect look for those of you who are after the casual-chic style.

# Geek Chic Made of sturdy thick plastic, this style is durable to handle every day. The lenses are usually oversized and the frame is chunky in design. These are the best weekend item. Dolce & Gabbana introduced this style, with a contemporary twist to a geek chic design. # Aviator Style Originally, the aviator has a metal frame that is thin and lightweight and has teardrop lens. Often, this style will also have polarized or mirrored lenses as well. A few progressions to the classic style offer an updated look including a frame with a double-bridged frame or a brightly coloured frame in a plastic material. Brands like Gucci, Hugo Boss, Dolce & Gabbana and Ray-Ban have always been featuring this style in their campaigns. Aviator style suits every outfit; It is totally a must-have accessory.

Women’s Style and Trends… The hottest trend of spring is sunglasses. Whether you are on the hunt for new and styling sunglasses, there are plenty designs to choose from… Circular, oversized, mirrored, decorated, print and those in the shape of eye-cat.

Have a look at the most inspiring trends…

# Decorated and Printed Spring is undoubtedly the most appropriate time to play with designs and colours. The decorated frames are new, fresh and an interesting trend. While looking at the collections we saw designers, such as the brand Prada and Anna Sui to have shown floral decorative details. Dolce and Gabbana focused on bold strips. Prevailing motives are chic animal prints and colourful arty motives. Dolce & Gabbana Catwalk Show S/S 2013

# Eye-Cat The cat’s eye shaped this frames is the trend that will surely stand out of the season. Inspired by the 50’s they have been a popular styling detail on collections by the most designers. Get in fashion and give your image a more glamorous touch. Tom Ford is the main representative of this trend for the season.

# Circular Frames The massive trend in women’s sunglasses for summer is the round frames. Small, medium, large sizes; they are all in fashion. A pair of circular glasses is just what you need to give your spring outfit a more retro feeling. The tricky part is that this style doesn’t fit all faces well, so it is better to try on different sizes in order to find the pair that suits you best.

Men meet Women … Sunglasses with mirrored lenses and colourful frames! Certainly the trend is not new to the public but this season the sunglasses change shape acquiring interesting designs… Could there be spring without bright colours?

FASHION at its best: An irreverent clash of high fashion and painterly street style class.

Extravagant ladies, the ones that like it simple and minimal, crazy and extreme wowzers that look like they’ve just come out of a movie – or better said - a super colorful comic, sporty peeps, vintage junkies and awe-inspiring mix and matchers. The streets speak up; you can see anything and everything. Fashion takes new forms; seductive, sexy, brave. It meets contemporary art and presents the street catwalkers’ finest. The new trend-setters aka fashion bloggers are having their moment. Away from the catwalk, there is now another runway with the high fashion’s stamp of approval. Style versus Style. We all know Parisian chic. We also know, the great sense of Italian style and its association with the most extreme articulation of luxury. And London? The city with its own identity, personality and diversity. And NY.. Oh New york, you never sleep do you? Fashion has reinvented itself – an incredible well - blended style cocktail that rouses the instincts of even the worst ignorants of style. Sporty left the gym and now accompanies designer dresses. Lingerie got beyond the realm of the bedroom and now plays the role of outerwear. Pointy killers are not only worn with dresses and office wear – a torn denim makes their perfect match. Prints with sophisticated fabrics are seen with the most unexpected way. So yes, this is fashion at its best. People look sophisticated yet undone, statement yet underdressed, extreme yet moderate and inventive yet never OTT. We have roamed the internet; our favorite bloggers, Tommy Ton’s favorite streets’ stars and the internet’s most shared style savvy ladies. So how do they do it? Brace yourselves.

Show me your skin

Cropped tops in every material, colour and style and cut-out details (see Wang’s obsessive SS13). Tactile lingerie pieces - the bed outfit leaves the bedroom to take new forms of glorious attires. So its time to show those killer abs ladies – get your tummies out. Everything cropped is sitting front row.

Strip-tease, check games and separates

There is nothing that can conjure chic summer like monochrome. Riviera happy-go-lucky and chic stripes like elegant Brigitte Bardots from 1858, chequered motives for attention-grabbing or as separates for those that don’t like a risk; matching black and whites is a season’s frenzy.

The mixologist

Fashion stars take the role of the mixologist and intermingle different prints for fashion’s finest cocktail. A last season’s madness that still holds its position among the greatest trends. From zigzags to spirals, typewriters and other objects that Mary firstly introduced, geometrics, super-bright florals and neon raves; print lovers have their trophy to covet.

Graphics, logos, numbers and all that sh*t

The season of the sporty frenetic. Trainers with suits; yes please! Baseball caps of Lakers and NY Knicks with classic outfits; again, yes please! Numbers, logos and quotes on tees screaming fashion rebellion. Graphic dressing is ticking all the boxes this season. Fashion has decided to give us the 12 points this season. Looking fabulous yet comfy.

Suit up

Sorry gentlemen but we do look as good as you in it. Matchy matchy, monochrome or with contrasting prints, the suit is everywhere this SS13.

The new shoes

Give a woman the right pair of shoes and she can conquer the world! Super-flattering, sleek and sexy - an instant sultry appeal for your look. Pointy, lace up or strappy; the shoes this season present the epitome of femininity.

Billy Jean

The king of the season’s trends is undoubtedly DENIM. Nothing beats the versatility and nonchalance of jeans. In any and every form one can desire, they are winning the street-catwalk. Cutoffs or bermudas, boyfriend or skinnies, flares or baggies, embroidered and embellished, classic or in colours,; denim has reinvented itself to not only a staple asset but to a statement piece.

Sock it up

Anyone heard of tights? Say what? They are dead among the style community. Winter or summer, summer or winter. Socks have taken over. By Andria Aletrari ( www.andriasdose.com )

Andria Aletrari works as a freelance fashion stylist, fashion blogger,creative&digital media consultant and has been invited as a guest lecturer. You can WHOOP here up in London !

bright colors The soft gelato colors weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve come to associate with spring are taking a back seat this season and giving the spotlight to Neon & Fluorescent Colours, brighter and punchier. Either as whole ensembles or just as slivers on the soles of shoes.

stripes Stripes of every variety, from nautical to pinstripes to rugby and from horizontal to vertical are also a strong motif for spring. Almost every look that Tommy Hilfiger showed had a stripe of some sort. At Dior Homme there were plenty of nautical-inspired sweaters as at Dolce & Gabbana.

camo chameleon Love it or hate it, camouflage is set to be one of the biggest menswear trends for Spring -Summer 2013. The Spring - Summer 2013 Menswear have showcased the famous print with different twists Â from top designers like Commes des Garcons, Kenzo, Valentino, Givenchy and Dries van Noten.Â Camouflage never looked so chic: the print has been re-colored, abstracted and translated into sleek and elegant.

- What should one do to enter the world of MaryMe-JimmyPaul? Absolutely nothing, besides looking at our work, as we don’t make our work for a specific person. You don’t need to do anything special, because everyone should be able to enjoy it. Well, maybe go to our website and follow us on different social media ;-)

- What is Art and what is Fashion for you? Do you believe that there is a thin line between the two? Marie (MaryMe) and myself (Jimmy-Paul) always work in the area between art and fashion. For us Art and Fashion are two different worlds and we are not claiming to be one or the other. We enjoy both worlds, get inspirations from both sides and then we make work that is that grey area. It’s not Art, not Fashion, it’s FART. - Do you perceive Fashion as funny and playful or strict and serious? Well, if you look at our work...Do you really think we are strict and serious? I mean, we take our work extremely serious, but we also like to show at the same time the playfulness of Fashion and be ironical also to ourselves. We like to make fun of MaryMe-JimmyPaul. - Which five words best describe your work? Comic, Colourfull, Shape, Eerie and Pop.

- What key factors do you think make your designs stand out? The colours we use, shapes and our courage in fashion design makes our design to stand out. - What is more important in your work colour or texture? Both are super important. - Do you feel that your work is extreme in something? Yes, but at the same time we can be more extreme. - What emotions do you want your viewers to experience once looking into your work? It depends on the collection...Everytime itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a different story that we want to tell...

Europe collection A/W 2012

Riviera collection SS 2013

-Are you trying to convey any messages through your work? And if yes, what messages are these? There are always different layers in our work and there is never a particular message that we want to give. Also, we like, when people make their own stories out of it or think they know what we try to say through our work. We just give them a glimpse into their brain with our work and from there on, they are on their own to create. - What motto do you go by? Ehm…we don’t really have one…sorry! - What WHOOPS you up? Extreme pop culture.

GEORGE MALEKAKIS “I could be a painter, sculptor, poet, writer or an artist. Generally I’m not just a photographer.” George Malekakis was born in 1969, in Athens, Greece, where he currently lives and works. He studied Economics, but he has been involved in photography since 1990. He is a professional fashion photographer since 1995 with collaborations in Greece and abroad. Travelling, martial arts, and his personal photography projects are his hobbies.

Why a photographer? I could be a painter, sculptor, poet, writer or an artist. Generally I’m not just a photographer. It occurred that I became a professional photographer and I admit that I do it with passion and I serve it with a talent for all these years, but above all that’s who I am. I live my life and evolve through other forms of art. And in this life of mine I photograph and I put my soul into it and this is the ultimate form of art. Or at least that was the case back then. Because now you find a specialization in everything and if you don’t do it right with the right public relations and dedicate yourself into this, then you can’t manage anything. The arts nowadays are considered a job and that is something I hate. I was lucky enough a few years back to have this job as a photographer and that did act as a phase in my life. I love photography and its part of me and who I am. That’s how I live. But life goes on, on one hand, and on the other talents have to be developed.

100

What style of photography best describes you as a photographer? Street photography best describes me. Walking around relaxed with meaningful time on my hands, so that I could create images and play along with my inspiration. Change my style and never think of the consequences that might have in my work, or my career or if I will make money or not. That is what I like. But that unfortunately happened a long time ago. Time and unconcern is the ultimate luxury and that is all destroyed with the agony of the economic crisis. Enough! Stop looking into other images and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t photograph for other people. Do it for yourself and the beauty of life not for any art curators or art directors of a magazine or gallery.

101

Your images reflect upon a cinematic atmosphere, with evident and strong contrast in colours, the use of natural light and in most cases the use of a female figure model. One could compare your images to the ones of Edward Steichen where in 1911 he was considered the first modern fashion photographer; in which, he had stated that he was into fashion photography for the money and not because he liked it. Is it the same in your case? I wasn’t aware of Edward Steichen but he is ‘God.’ I absolutely agree with him. But I was involved with fashion photography because it was an excellent profession within my social phase about a decade ago and it completed me up as well as my lifestyle. Along with that, it had some features that I love and I want in my life. Such as, being informed about anything new, or fresh. I believe that people that are involved with fashion characterize the trends of society regardless of clothes and surface lifestyles but in a more deep and meaningful way. Something I want to do and have always done regardless of whether it’s called “fashion photographer.”

102

103

106

A latest trend in fashion editorials and generally in photography is the use of new techniques of editing, where the photographer takes the role of a painter, having as a result a collage of images nearly in an abstract form. Do you see yourself leading towards this trend? I no longer have anything to do with this new style of photography and this is where I â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;pull out.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; If I was involved with it then I would do it and I would learn how to do it, but I prefer to get involved into another form of art rather than to move on to a new style of fashion photography.

107

What is your relationship with contemporary photography? Contemporary photography is something I am heading towards at and I will get there eventually. Whatever that might mean or take. It’s my personal development in photography. The art of photography in Greece is pander to a certain way and structure of aesthetics and people (that was always the case in Greece). The effort made for developing all this in Greece started off from specific people with undoubtedly ethical and moral values, that sadly resulted into a ‘hunt’ of sponsored projects and exhibitions that took place in important buildings, without having new images and education. That’s why I believe that there is space for development in the field of photography and I hope I can help into achieving this.

108

109

110

Which work of yours either in Greece or abroad best represents you as a photographer? A fashion editorial I did in Athens for ‘DIVA’ magazine in 2003 on street photography. Based on that I came up with the “I Love Athens Project.” Street photography is my favourite style of photography and is always applied within my fashion editorials. It was something fresh and vibrant that I tried to bring back to Greece but didn’t succeed because it was too new and original for the Greek market, where people within it at the time where only capable of copying what already existed.

Is there anything you would change in your career? I would be a tougher professional, make more money and therefore become a show off and be full of myself; without loosing the substance of my inner self though. That would make me a stronger man.

What are your plans for the future? To build up my life, to officially become an art photographer, make money, fall in love, live, work, be happy and break through this crisis.

PARIS

by Jimmy Gold.

On whatever we could lay on the term French symbol, everything would be about her. Ms Edith Piaf, born in Paris, displaced the insurmountable talent she had in the way she put soul in the songs of the Parisian boulevards and the Moulin Rouge in whatever we consider as world around us. There won’t be any other Piaf, even though the meaning that could relay on such an acceptance about any symbol would be related to the essence of its life and how it will be endorsed by the forthcoming generations in order to generate their own personal uniqueness. Passing by exactly across the Temple of Olympian Zeus while having Ms. Piaf giving, in my ears, the French language the caliber it deserves, I thought instantly how much I do not want to learn French. Even if the emotive load of a moment that could be bursting out of a complex of French cinematography in a romanticism of some other Athens was intense, the following moment my longing wasn’t gone. In the songs of Piaf my comprehension towards a language so alluring yet so unbeknown for me, was in my boundaries of perception. And somewhere from the Piaf’s Paris to the one of the Age of Enlightenment. In all those French café where the youngsters of the time would gather in desperation for uninterrupted knowledge of freedom and found refuge in their need for ideas anew. This philosophy of the French café, which is directly juxtaposed with the culture of the Greek coffee places (καφενείο) which buried and sunk the whatever Greek modernity in indolence of its alleged nature. The compulsion of admitting the deflection of your lifestyle due to a suburban culture that was reinforced in Greece the decades of the bubble. There where the western lifestyles were passionately and frantically adopted, cold-bloodly and unadapted without a sign of shame towards the personal culture they were sacrificing. The Philosophy of the Greek coffee place damaged Greece more than anything else and remains unknown who much we deserve our own history. From the cultural burst of Europe at the Age of Enlightenment, with the separation of powers, we’ve passed in the moving sand of a failed capitalism, where the mute European authorities cannot confront not even their own responsibility of their opinions. How realistic would it be to await for some sort of rebellion in the way of thinking from the people of a Europe that is heading more and more towards the Right-wing? The problem of the lack of leadership brings constantly to the foreground the same bankrupt political alibi of the society of the Greek coffee place. I wouldn’t be able to support my whole self nowhere else but only to the man. Towards any responsibility I hold against me, I feel we are bankrupting the same history we write for ourselves. And since it is the man that was forced to his own enlightenment because of his need for substantial change, I will wait the Paris. Whatever it is that any Paris symbolizes by itself, it would be inglorious without the civilizations and the cultures the man develops around him. And even when I get desperate about what I owe to my own life for what it is, I will put my whole faith upon the moment of history where every nation awakens to change itself. It is not the Paris that we will have forever. Even if I don’t understand Piaf’s French but only feel them, I feel that we will have forever nothing else but ourselves. (Translated by Demi Ps.)

IAN MARCARTHUR My work can be described as surreal and unique in its own way. Using mostly pencil, watercolours and pigment pens, I create portraits of ordinary people but create them in a unusual way by, embellishing patterns and watercolour effects into the portrait to give a vivid explosion effectâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;transforming their faces from something plain to something entirely bizarre and wonderful at the same time.

“The Birth of Modern Luxury” by Louis Vuitton Louis Vuitton and Les Éditions de La Martinière are set to publish an updated edition of the book Louis Vuitton, “The Birth of Modern Luxury”, which was released in October 2005. The book was the first to describe the dramatic rise of the world’s finest luxury company. Written with full access to the company’s archives, it demonstrates Louis Vuitton’s passion for fine design with a stunning array of archival art, product designs, and cutting-edge advertising. The company is examined through the lives of its first three leaders—founder Louis (who invented the modern trunk), his son Georges, and his grandson Gaston. Now with fresh information on subjects such as designs for ready-towear clothing, shoes, jewelry, and even automobiles, this new edition includes 20 additional pages and updated material throughout the book, covering the brand’s recent history, with new texts and photographs. A Smart Guide to Utopia - Lecool Cities are the affirmation of civilisation and human inventiveness. They are at once fragile organisms in constant need of care and battlegrounds of conflicting interests. And above all, they ’re ours. The smart guide to Utopia showcases 111 projects, initiatives and

ideas from all over Europe that make our cities better places. Whether it be an underground waste disposal system in Barcelona or a public swimming pool converted into an arts centre in Berlin, a self-sufficient urban garden or a solar-powered pop-up restaurant travelling with the sun, a building printer or a zero-packaging supermarket, this book celebrates the energy and imagination of people who want to make their cities a little more fun, clean, friendly, green and above all, restore a sense of community. Our cities belong to us, and they depend on us. Only we can make them worth living in.

George Lois - The Esquire Covers @ MoMA - Assouline In 2008, the Museum of Modern Art acquired a wide range of George Lois’s groundbreaking Esquire magazine covers and put them on display for a full year. The Esquire Covers at MoMA collects the entirety of that exhibit, many more covers, and unseen images from Lois’s private collection, including personal photographs of the designer at work and outtakes of a shoot with Andy Warhol. George Lois, who led advertising’s creative revolution in the 1960s, was hand-picked by the legendary editor Harold Hayes to convey visually that Esquire—a leading

proponent of another creative revolution of the time, New Journalism—was on the cutting edge of profound changes in American culture. With images of JFK, RFK, and Martin Luther King, Jr. watching over Arlington National Cemetery; of Richard Nixon under the makeup-artist’s powder-puff; and of Muhammad Ali as the martyred Saint Sebastian, he did just that.
