Komana

7th July 2015

Today my look has a gipsy inspiration! Another look from my trip in Dar Bouazza in Morocco. We were driving around the city to find a location where we could shoot. Suddenly I have seen this entrance porch. I like the style, the colours and with this black look it doesn´t look too colourful.

The shawl that I am wearing is from Komana a brand that I really like. Let me tell you more about this very interesting label. First of all, two sisters Livia & Nina based in London have created it. Every piece is handmade using different know-how such as collage, free hand drawing or paint brushing.

Komana ´s collection is made with organic fabric & unique prints! Also something you have to know is that for every Komana item bought a tree will be plant in Niger in Africa! The two sisters have created a sustainable brand with an ethical production. And I think they are very inspiring and more should do the same!

The dress if from Ma garderobe. I love the back and the fabric it feels so comfi!

A lot of fringes today with my new bag which has been handmade in Marrakech, I have chosen the fabric and the colour, I am pretty happy about the result!
To give something more ethnic to the look I am wearing Marion Mazô jewellery.

I hope you like it!

Mica-design

3rd July 2015

When I went to Morocco for holidays I brought with me this beautiful cape. I have met Mica few weeks ago, she launched her eponym brand Mica-design in december last year, it is very new! She designs and makes all the products herself. She proposes scarves that you can wear as a cape... & bags. All in different natural fabrics such as linen, cotton, wool or silk. 
Her concept is that the fabric are hand painted like the cape I am wearing. I chose several pieces to shoot with so more looks are coming soon...

Here I am wearing a linen one with green painting on it. With this one I only wanted to wear a swimwear (from American apparel) in order to show as versatile is this piece. You can wear it as a scarf wrapped around the neck, as a cape even as a dress with a belt for example... 

I added some jewellery from Marion Mazô that make the look more glamorous.

I love the place where we shot among the rocks at the ocean...

Santa Lupita

1st July

“Combining fashion and tradition” That is the challenge of Santa Lupita. Created only a few months ago by Jorge Acevedo, his brand is my big crush of the year so far.

Santa Lupita offers exclusive handmade garments made in Mexico that preserve the traditional hand weaving and stitching of the country. The high quality of the garments and the know-how of the women who make the collection give this brand its uniqueness!

The dress that I am wearing took 1 week to make by the artisan Pilar from Oaxaca Valley in Southern Mexico. Like the rest of the collection, the dress is made of natural fibres and colours. With cotton and silk for this one, it is actually my favorite piece so far, even if I like all the products. It has been named "La Doña" related to the actress Maria Felix "La Doña", Mexico's cinema Style Icon from the 50's, internationally re-known for its beauty and elegance. 

All the items are so colourful and the attention to detail on each garment is very impressive.

The goal of Santa Lupita is also to keep the tradition of hand made clothing alive as it is starting to disappear slowly in favour of mass production.

So I am very glad to talk about them today, and I am sure you will fall in love with this brand too!
