Chanel's Little Black Jacket

Além do "Little Black Dress", outra das icónicas criações da Chanel é o "Little Black Jacket", e é este último que está a ser agora imortalizado numa exposição online (e também exposição ao vivo em Tóquio), onde mais de 100 celebridades da moda, música, cinema como Sarah Jessica Parker, Elle e Dakota Fanning, Jane Birkin e Anna Wintour se deixaram fotografar a usar o clássico casaco preto da Chanel, cada um à sua maneira. Uns num estilo mais clássico, outros num estilo mais rocker ou até mais artístico.
Este projecto do multifacetado Karl Lagerfeld em colaboração com Carine Roitfeld vai também estar disponível em livro a partir de Abril, e depois de ver estas fotos até eu fiquei com vontade de o juntar à minha colecção.
Deixo-vos aqui algumas das minhas preferidas.


Besides the "Little Black Dress", another of Chanel's most iconic creations is  the "Little Black Jacket", and this last is now being immortalized on a "e-exhibition" (and also on a live exhibition in Tokyo), where more than a 100 celebrities from fashion, cinema and music like Sarah Jessica Parker, Elle and Dakota Fanning, Jane Birkin and Anna Wintour let themselves be photographed wearing the classic Chanel black jacket, each one wearing it their own unique way. Some in a more classic style, others in a rocker vibe or even in a more artistic way.
This project by the multi-task man himself, Mr Karl Lagerfeld  and styled by the one and only Carine Roitfeld was also compiled into a book that is coming on sale in April, and I have to say after seeing the photos even I am eager to add it to my collection.
Here are some of my favourites.

All about Sisterhood

Hoje em dia, parece que a indústria da moda está fascinada com irmãs.
As relações entre irmãs desde à muito tempo que são alvo de curiosidade e até fascínio, as rivalidades, amizades, cumplicidades, sendo retratadas en inúmeras séries, filmes e, até, editoriais.
As gémeas Olsen, consideradas as mais bem vestidas pela Vogue no ano passado , Elle e Dakota Fanning, capa da W de Dezembro e nesse mesmo mês um artigo/editorial dedicado especialmente a irmãs famosas. 
E, de facto, nalguns casos parece que a moda e estilo lhes corre nas veias, que é algo que lhes foi passado pelos genes, que nasceram para ser it girls, outras foram ganhando essa "veia" com o passar dos anos e depois de algumas más escolhas.
O que é certo é que agora são consideradas algumas das mulheres mais bem vestidas momento, e algumas delas nem 18 anos têm, é inacreditável.
Como Cara e Poppy Delevingne, que em qualquer evento em que apareçam apresentam-se sempre perfeitas quer num estilo casual ou num look red carpet, mas mantendo-se sempre fiéis ao seu estilo, ou as irmãs Brandolini e as Courtin-Clarins. E o que têm em comum todas elas? Inspiram a forma de vestir de muitas pessoas pelo mundo fora, são verdadeiras trendsetters.

Nowadays it seems like the fashion industry is fascinated with sisters.
The relationships between siblings have been for a long time a target of curiosity and fascination, their rivalries, friendships, complicity, their bond, being transported to numerous tv shows and movies and even editorials.
The Olsen twins, considered the most stylish by Vogue last year, Elle and Dakota Fanning at the cover of W in December and on that same issue of the magazine an article/editorial specially dedicated to celebrity sisters.
And, it's a fact, that in some cases it seems like they have fashion and style running through their veins, like it's something that was passed to them by their genes, that they were born to be it girls, others were just gaining that sense of style throughout the years and after some bad choices.
But what matters is that they are some of the best well dressed women of the moment, and some of them aren't even 18, it's unbelievable.
Like Cara and Poppy Delevingne which in whatever event they appear they present themselves perfectly whether it is on a casual style or a red carpet look, but always sticking to their own style, or the Brandolini sisters or even the Courtin-Clarins. And what do they all have in common? They inspire the way of dressing of women throughout the world, they're real trendsetters.

Top 10 December Fashion Covers

Antes de mais desculpem pelo abandono temporário do blog mas estive doente e no hospital, o que não ajuda muito a actualizar os meus posts, mas estou melhor finalmente e de volta com as que considero as melhores capas de revistas deste último mês do ano.

First of all sorry for my absence from the blog but I was sick and in the hospital so it was a little hard for me to update my posts here, but now I'm better and I'm back with some of what I consider the best magazine covers of this last month of 2011.
