Prints, lovely prints.

I am a big lover of prints. And in this post I am going to share with you some of the loveliest prints of this year fashion shows.

I would say that one of my most favorite prints ever. And this could be found in the last collection by Phoebe Philo for Celine F/W 2011.

The next one I was going to show you is by Rodarte F/W 2011.  Check the print at the bottom. And tell me what could of been more suitable for a Ukrainian lady that this dress. Some of you may ask why, here is the answer.  The answer is that the Ukrainian flag according to some sources is a stylised version of an image of the sky and a grain field.

Alright, the next print I am going to show you here is an example of Stella McCartney`s prints for her collection F/W 2011. Most of the fashion experts relate it to mylar, a special type of metallized foil which reflect around 97% of light. Girls are going to shine in this Stella McCartney`s collection!

Or check this one!

Birds are still going to appear on our t-shirts, skirts and dresses next year. I really like it. They add romanticism to the looks and here are the proofs of it. 

Mulberry F/W 2011

And Miu Miu F/W 2011.  I thought that skylarks are the messengers of spring, guess what this rule apply`s to fashion as well. We always want something that reminds us of spring during a cold winter. 

For those who are real experts in art ( which I am not), check the prints in Dries Van Noten collection. Some people say that he was inspired by the expressionists, some say that he was inspired by Russian constructivist`s painters. Who knows, I`ll just add that Dries Van Noten knows how to mix colors and patterns in the looks he creates. This is real magic, and certainly this needs a certain amount of taste and understanding of colors.

Comme des garcons has shown us how it is possible to wear things made up from a million of scarves. This is an idea that was predicted to be copied by the mass market soon. 

And to sum it all up. This dress fascinates me now for a while already. It is made by Charles Anastase for his FW 20011 collection. And I think that this print is gorgeous.

Son Lux. Sound of Luxury.

One of my new musical discoveries is the album "We Are Rising" by Son Lux. It was released on the 26th of April, 2011. This is the third album released on Anticon Label, by Ryan Lott.

He was born in Denver in 1979, and has moved to Connecticut at the age of 5.  He has started to take piano lessons at the age  of 6. And hated it. His dream was to become a composer. 

In his third year of studying piano and composition at  the Indiana Uni, he started to make some projects with a ballet dancer, who later became his wife. 

He has conceived the multimedia art gala called Connect.

Founded with his wife and his two friends a charitable Art Serving Humanity Ensemble.

Composed a piece for saxophone and tape.

Worked as a full-time composer in NY.

He then compulsively collected sounds for three years, and started arranging. But here is a trick, he did it not by ear, as a real composer. He arranged by rhythm as a real beatmaker. This is how he made his first album At War with Walls and Mazes in 2008. 

What surprised me is Mr. Lott`s approach, he resembles some really contemporary sounds with a classical concerto in one track.  To me this is the new generation of chamber music. It definitely shouldn`t be different. The tinkering sounds, the magic of the notes written by Ryan Lott are so surprising, that I can not stop listening to it. "So would you chase or let me go? You can`t change that", are the lyrics in Chase...

The thing is that he wrote his last album in 28days. Check this album teaser for more...

Oki doki, I am back to Uni. Where I am officially supposed to revise, but what is seriously not going to be pure revision for me, but rather learning new stuff. Oh, well. Let` talk about something else.
Here are the news.

It is going to be a double A-sided joint available on a 10" vinyl, and also it will be available for download.

Good news, isn`t it?
