Halloween at the rabbit hole and Miss.Romeo didn't want to be left out, she decided to go with sexy cabaret bunny. 
We were deadly, with cuts and blood all over, and Cesar was the crazy man that killed the animal to make the coat for his sister! 
how was your Halloween?
Thursday night at the AWSM party Cosimo Damato decorated our heads with his latest creations. I am totally blown away by them and since he has been so passionate about it he has been crafting them like mad, so I had the opportunity to wear one on Thursday and then another one for fiday night. 
I wore his spoon sensation for Friday night party! Hope there are more to come.

I received a lovely belated birthday gift, it is from Nora Design. 
She uses vintage pieces to ensemble jewelery,bags, wallets, accessories in general, we could call it New Vintage! I loved the packaging of the product, with the old Marie Claire cover, nice touch.
Her latest crafts are these freaky jewelry that have made me go mad!! As soon she uploaded pictures on her personal facebook I was stunned!
She is also known as the 'pon pon queen' and was the one to teach me the magnificent pon pon labour, the problem is once you go pon pon you don't want togo back. As you can see this happened to her, she started out with the filling of the pon pon wired chair, and ended up creating thousand of pon pon for head pieces, cd cases, etc.
Then she makes furniture , ceramics and other house decor pieces. My favorite is the magazine / book keeper, a comfortable piece to have at home, with fantastic function that keeps all your disorganized magazine stacks in order without occuping space .
'A shot of coffee', to shoot your self with caffeine every morning, one of her first potteries with a very cleaver concept.
At my office we are fans of the Momaboma. They have a vintage feel, they are eco friendly and modern. I got mine last delivery, and after this delivery we all have a Momaboma. The girls got these from their latest FW 09 collection that just came out of production, mine is from the last collection, colorful as it can be! . This time they have mixed the newspaper prints with leather, zips combined with different quilted effects.
This collection is called 'Rigid' and it is characterized by the old news papers, shapes of bags and vintage coats, all these are ens ambled to create an accessory where your recycled old memories can be preserved ad carried around with you.
Santiago Restrepo and I know each other since we were 7 years old and have always shared the passion for art, design , as many other things. He grew up in a very creative environment surroundes by art and culture thanks to his father that is an art collector. I guess this made him develop his aesthetics early and now translates them into something perceptively distorted and fascinating. 
These ones were for his moms birthday, I hope to get a pair for mine! ;)
By the way, he was the creative artist for the tattoo I got a month ago.. I couldn't risk it, I had to get a pro to design it for me !
This weekend Next Vintage fair was on at Castello Belgioioso in Pavia, of course, with my love and obsession for vintage I ran over to check it out. 
It is a lovely huge castle, it has this lovely garden with awkward Buddhist statues, like I wouldn't imagine seeing these in such a place. Inside it gives the best atmosphere to set up a vintage wonderland. 
I couldn't leave without buying something, even if I shouldn't have. I will show you later what it was. In the mean time keep this in mind, Moschino Chic and Cheap!
During fashion week I had the wonderful opportunity to assist my good friends Francisco Leal and Karen Daccarett with their fashion show in Milano and have them around for a couple of weeks. They both studied at Istituto Marangoni and had left Milano 3 years ago to create their own brand back in Colombia, a country where everything is waiting to be done and it provided them a white canvas to create their trendy collections. Now they are back to show Milano, their adoptive city, everything it taught them.
They know how to use color, contrast different prints and textures to enhance the latin womans features. 
Their Colombian roots are found in every single garment, from the embroidery and patchwork techniques, to the hand beaded work and of course the burst of exotic colours that express thei vibrant personality and passion. 
We became friends long time ago, at least it seems a long time now, when we were still studying and dreaming. The got married last year and celebrated with a bang in Cartagena, a celebration I was lucky to be part of.
The woman they design for does not have a specific age, but they have taste and love for colour. One can mix and match pieces from one single collection, because they present refined basics with rich essentials that can be used from the house to work and then straight to dinner and a party, it's all a question of changing the sweater with the jacket and tuking in that sheer printed blouse into the skirt, and off you go!
Women from all generations can wear their garments, and a perfect example is my own family. My grandma, my mother and I have many of their pieces in our wardrobe, and we all have the same jacket, the only thing that changes is the size and the colours. I tell you, they know how to dress the curves of a woman.
I already sent my order out. The orange jacket with the flower shoulder decors, the short orange/pink/black/white dress with fabric flowers all over, the magenta skinnies with center back contrast piping and the sheer black and white tops that imitate the feathers of la gallineta , an exotic little hen found in Colombia. I guess I have to start saving up!!!
Saturday night, pre- party at the Miss. Vanna's house , then Punks Wear Prada Logo theme party and resident Dj Natasha Slater birthday.
The past week we had a full house at the rabbit hole, 2 good friends of mine were our guests and last night before they left they surprised me with a little thankyou gift, the Prada robot keychain from 3 years ago! We had seen it at the Outlets last weekend and had drooled on it, I think I was too obvious ;)
or hang it from the computer?
Sorry for my absence, the past week has been insane! Fashion Shows, small projects, working late, special guests at home and parties have kept me away from posts. So after a hardworking week my friends and I escaped to the Florence outlets, The Mall and Spaccio Prada, heaven!
The laces I had bought match perfectly with these shoes. Don't you think?
