Look of the Day.119: hat as a fact


 We took these pictures last time I was in Sao Paulo down Vila Madalena, the coolest neighbourhood of the amazing brazilian city. I'm currently back in London since 2 hours ago and seems there's a million things to do and catch up with! The past week i've been down in Spain and I literally haven't stopped one second! From weddings in Galicia to presentations in Madrid where I was giving an award at the spanish GQ Awards Ceremony celebrated in the Italian Embassy (yes! what a night) I promise to give and share all the gossip and the pictures!  I was wearing shoes by Uterque, Zara jeans with Pull&Bear jacket and Corello bag. The hat and scarf are vintage from London.

Davidelfin for Iberostar


Tomorrow is a very important day here in Madrid(yes I have been back in Europe for almost a week now)... and we are celebrating that, my dear and talented friend Davidelfin, has designed a unique collection of 15 outfits for the staff of the well known brand Iberostar Hotels & Resorts that will be launched in more than 15 countries worldwide where Iberostar has Hotels. This is an amazing and great opportunity where Davidelfin has kept the sould and its unique feeling in his designs  to create these special and stylish uniforms that the Iberostar staff will be wearing from now on. I had the pleasure to interview David himself and ask him a few question about how the project was developed  and how amazing the whole journey was too, and of course I wanted to share it with my dear readers as I will be tweeting  live during the event held tomorrow here in Madrid, so remeber to follow me on Twitter if you wanna keep tuned and know all the gossip


Mañana es un día muy especial y sobre todo importante para mi amigo David Delfin aqui en Madrid. Se celebra nada más y nada menos que el exclusivo lanzamiento de la coleccion (que consta de 15 modelos diferentes), que este genio de la moda española ha creado para la cadena de Hoteles & Resorts, Iberostar la cual esta presente en mas de 15 paises del mundo. En esta exclusiva coleccion de uniformes para el staff de Iberostar, David ha querido transmitir ese feeling  que tanto le caracteriza y que será transmitido en sus diseños para la cadena de hoteles por sus más de 21.000 trabajadores. He tenido la suerte de poder lanzar en exclusiva en amlul.com los bocetos de esta nueva colaboracion que se caracteriza por ese azul delfiniano, el bello color que esta tantas veces presente en sus colecciones y que los fieles seguidores de Davidelfin,  ya conocemos bien y que nos gusta tanto. En palabras del propio David...
^Ha sido un trabajo apasionante y dinámico. Todo un reto. Trabajando en equipo hemos conseguido una uniformidad 100% Davidelfin, afín al entorno único y emblemático de Iberostar, que une lo creativo y lo funcional y atiende todas las necesidades de los diferentes departamentos. Las prendas se suman fundiéndose, se transforman ligeras. Desaparecen capas, forros, hombreras. Juego de apariencias, efectos ópticos que se muestran de cerca. Azul y blanco, elegante, sobrio, marítimo y adaptable a los entornos mas urbanos.^

Durante toda la mañana del dia 28 de Junio estare retransmitiendo en directo el evento de presentacion aqui en Madrid, y todos los que lo querais podeis seguirlo a traves de mi Twitter.


Por ultimo, queria compartir con todos vosotros una pequeña entrevista que el mismo David me ha concedido en la que me ha contado como ha sido esta experiencia y cuales son los proximos planes de futuro...

Hablame un poco de cómo y cuándo surge esta colaboración... A mediados del 2010 se pusieron en contacto con nosotros y nos explicaron el proyecto. Querían decidir entre tres diseñadores. En nuestro primer encuentro, donde nos conocimos personalmente e hicimos una presentación sobre nuestra trayectoria, nos dimos cuenta de que había "química", y a la semana nos transmitieron su interés en trabajar con nosotros. El proyecto se fue definiendo y con el esquema de trabajo claro, firmamos el contrato en diciembre. Desde principio de año lo venimos desarrollado hasta ahora que ya podéis ver el resultado.
Alguna dificultad en el camino fue cuando... Debes adaptar los diseños a cada departamento atendiendo todas sus necesidades y conociendo las limitaciones.
Explicame cómo has conseguido reflejar los valores de Davidelfin en esta colaboración con Iberostar... A través de la construcción y los detalles de las prendas. El juego de apariencias forma parte de nuestra identidad. Estas prendas en una sola capa, suman las camisas a los chalecos, a las chaquetas... Prendas ligeras y libres de forros, hombreras y entretelas.
Si tuvieras que expresar en 3 palabras la experiencia en general, serian... Reto, trabajo y satisfacción.
Davidelfin en el futuro... Adaptación! ese es el futuro. A todos los cambios y novedades que se producen, para poder seguir trabajando en mis colecciones y colaborar con otros proyectos tan importantes e inspiradores como este.

Pull&Bear 2.0 A Coruna

Last may, I had the pleasure to be part of an almost family event..When I say "family" it's mainly because working with long-time friends seems no work to me, but pleasure and fun. The Jenifols dj-ed during the event before and after Mendetz played a little but cool gig in the middle of the Plaza de Lugo store. Pull&Bear was hosting an amazing event where all us us gathered together between friends and family, enjoying their new uber modern and cool 2.0 store in A Coruna (my hometown). Icanteachyouhowtodoit.com was in charge (once again) to portrait all of the people who came. After  that we went to grab some delicious tapas and ended up  the great night at Backstage the coolest bar in town.

We went for lunch at the famous Avenida Paulista here in Sao Paulo. I was wearing  red jeans by Pull & Bear (seems red is the color to have this season) with a scarf is by Zara.  I Borrowed my  jumper and match it all with shoes and bag by Corello. Ain't freezing but clearly is not warm weather here anymore.

I'm wearing jacket by Pull&Bear, Levi's shorts, Tabio tights, Office shoes ,

Even that in this side of the globe is almost winter, and you already need a pair of tights, the sun is still shining and nice enough to go for a walk around Jardins, in Sao Paulo... I finally got to try the famous Brigadeiros, and stuff myself with brazilian feijoada.....Nossa!! Brasil..eu estou adorando!

Deadly Ponies and the Monster bag


2 Weeks already now since I've arrived in Sao Paulo...and I've been trying to keep a low profile.This past week had time to pop by Marcos Proenca's hair saloon for a quick fix(totally recomended!!!), time to attend Evoke's party where Marky Ramone was djing and even watch the first brazilian doc trying to legalize Maconha, "Quebrando o Tabu"....(pics coming soon) Anyway...here's my latest new creation. When I was for the last time down in Auckland, New Zealand. I meet up with Deadly Ponie's designer Liam. After talking for a while I came up with the ideo of creating a bag to match my needs as I'm a very practical woman. I've always loved the feeling of leather, and this is why 99% of my handbags are by brands suchs as Loewe and Mulberry. For me it's a quality matter. The older they get..the nicer they feel and the cooler they become too... and when I've explained Liam what I needed , he mention that it felt like "quite a lot going on" at first.. right there is where i got the idea for the name, "Monster" bag..cos in our heads it was going to look awfully tacky full of details and things going on. After a few more talks and enough time to think, with the precise measures I came up with the final rough design for The Monster bag. And after a few months I finally received it at home back in England. Here is the result of Liam's art and my needs in one piece. To order yours check Deadly Ponies here

Corello a/w 2011



I've been back in Brazil for the past few weeks, catching up with my friends and attending some cool event that are always held in Sao Paulo. :) I wanted to share one of the campaigns I shoot during SPFW for the brazilian label Corello. It was great to be able to work with old friends like Hanneli who came for fashion week too, and to hang out with other fellow bloggers like Mariah and Camila... the creative director was the wonderful Alice Ferraz who put together the whole concept. It was a very hot summer day and I had the best of times hanging around the rest of the girls and having the pleasure to shoot at Jorge Elia's house(the architect) and honestly..that house is to die for!!! As usually i couldn't stop laughing under Jaques Dequeker's orders...who was shooting the campaign..I guess i get the giggles very easily and i always try to make work to feel like pleasure..and enjoy the experience! I wanted to give a special thanks to the wonderful Carol (owner of Corello) and her wonderful daughter Gabi.
