THE HISTORY OF BURBERRY / THE TRENCH COAT RELIGION

The British fashion house was founded in 1856 by Thomas Burberry by opening a store when he was just 21 years old. Despite his young age, Thomas had plenty of experience in fabrics, as he had worked as an apprentice textile merchant.  Focusing on the manufacture of outdoor items and being dissatisfied by the material they were made of, heavy waterproof clothing, Thomas invented a new material called gabardine. This fabric is made of nylon and light cotton, waterproof and, at the same time, allows the air to circulate.  In just a few years, the shop customers had called the gabardine coat "Burberry's".  35 years after opening the first store in Basingstoke, Thomas launches a new store in London on Haymarket Street, which...

BURBERRY WEEK

Dears, this week is a special one, in which I will post, for 3 consecutive days, thee stories about one of my favourite brands, Burberry. Why Burberry? Well, because we are talking about a brand which is loved by everyone, a label with tradition and 156 years of experience in fashion. I have prepared for today an outfit in which the trench is the main character, a garment invented by Thomas Burberry. I should mention here that you can find all the clothing items of my outfit  in the Burberry store in Bucharest, Lutheran Street 4. Enjoy!   PHOTOGRAPHY BY IULIANA POPESCU   ...

WITHIN REACH

As women, we all know the big truth: we cannot get enough of shoes. The same thing I may say about bags. :) Small, large, made of leather or textile, for daytime or evening, bags have become a natural addition of our outfit, as well as of our personality. These accesories have always been the subject of fashion trends. And, let's face it, we are way too vulnerable to such temptations!   Photography by LEO KLIM & GEORGE MARACINEANU Location NEW YORK   TODAYS OUTFIT   SHIRT / ZARA PANTS / PULL & BEAR SHOES / TOPSHOP EARRINGS / CHANEL (vintage) RING / OTHER STORIES BAGS / BOOKLETA / BE&D THE RIBBON TIE / HABERDASHER'S SHOP SUNGLASSES / URBAN OUTFITTERS / LINDA FARROW HAIR ACCESSORY / AMAZON...

MEN PATTERNS

A lot of stories have been written about the competition between men and women and there will be plenty of that! I know lots of women who are trying to place themselves in a man’s world, in order to prove power and strength even with the risk of losing their femininity. It’s their choice! As for myself, I do not want that even though I love men clothes! Oh, yes! :) Now do not imagine that I withdraw some items from my boyfriend’s wardrobe! No, no! Thank God that we can find in the stores lots of women clothes created by men patterns! With these options, I admit that I love living in men’s world! And it’s f***ing great! :)Photography...

M.M.M.

Any avid fashion buff certainly holds a list of brands that loves and follows very closely. As for myself, I’ve always appreciated, among others, Maison Martin Margiela and this is the reason why, for today’s post, I have inserted into my outfit an article with this brand’s signature in collaboration with H&M. This is a versatile piece of wardrobe that can be easily worn, both during daytime and nighttime. Accessorize is everything! For today's post, I've chosen urban-bike style. So… ride with me!   Photography IULIANA POPESCU Loctaion BUCHAREST   ...

CARMEN IN WONDERLAND

I have realised that this blog gave me a great advantage: the opportunity to meet talented people like Gabriela Dumitran. I met her this year while surfing on Facebook. She impressed me so much that I immediately went offline and paid a visit to her workshop. Once arrived in the place where the talent, the imagination and the creativity are strongly linked together,  my attention was first drawn by the hats Gabriela exposed in her showroom. I met her and, yes, the impression was huge. Can you imagine what it's like to wear such a beautiful accessory? Believe me, it was the delight of all the street style photographers during the New York Fashion Week this year. Today I am...
