Prada Minimal Baroque Deluxe collection

This has been a big shout for a while already. But I had to share this with you. This is the new Fashion statement. A fashion piece which changes your personality, gives character traits to your look, and is just a piece of art itself. Please have a look at these magnificent sunglasses. They come from Prada`s 'Minimal Baroque' collection, Spring 2011.

Here are these pieces of art on show. 

These Rococo curves, and very contrasted colors, just make it to be a winning piece. This might be adopted soon by the mass-market companies. However these shades are still a miracle. 

Eurovision 2011

Hi, everyone. Today I am going to write about the Eurovision contest. I am Ukrainian, and no surprise I was supporting Ukraine. However, I was profoundly shaken by the fact that even though the leader of the Ukrainian pre-Eurovision contest used to be Jamala, the finalist of it became Mika Newton. (Looks like there was some money involved, however this is only an assumption.)

Jamala for me, represents a pop/jazz/r&b singer with very very strong voice and an infinite charisma. She is somebody who is has her own style, and she is not afraid to collaborate with new Ukrainian fashion designers. This a very big point. Please take your time to see some of her pictures.

I suppose that this dress was made by Ruslan Panchuk, who is one of the leading ukrainian designers working with beads and beads embroidery. I have seen his work last year for the first time, however he has had his own stall at the Kiev Fashion Days this spring. Congrats to Mr. Panchuk and Jamala for such collaboration Fabulous look and it fits perfectly with her Crimean origins. 

One of Jamala`s dresses for her single 'smile'. Very pretty look and a very uplifting song.

And here comes Mika Newton with her song Angel on the 14th of May, 2011. 

She takes 4th position, but I personally think it is because of the Ksenia Simonova`s talent, who has performed a fabulous sand show on stage to support Mika. Here are some of Mika Newton`s pictures.

This picture come from her video 'Angel'. Which I think is two retro and looks even more kitsch than retro. Very bad styling. The idea of the video reminds me too much of Christina Aguilera`s 'Circus' song. Ohh dear, why couldn`t you do something more creative?

(Link to the song from which this picture is taken. This song was performed by her on the Eurovision song contest.

Please have a look at the this dress. For the reason that her song is called 'Angel', Mika Newton decide to use the the idea of an angel, of a flying creature in her outfit as well. However this idea comes from the video 'Runaway' by Kanye West. Where a very famous Women Secret`s Angel (Selita Ebanks) has played the role of a Phoenix. 

Isn`t it too much of plagiarism dear Mika? I think this just unethical. Please have a look at the at the famous Selita Ebanks`s wings. 

It is interesting to notice that these wings were designed by Martin Izquierdo, the designer of Victoria Secret`s wings. Martin collaborated with Phillip Lim while working on these wings. 

Here is one example of the wings made by  Martin Izquierdo.
