SEQUENCE
If you are wondering what to wear this holiday season here it is: SEQUINS. Since 1940s Holiday Inn starring Bing Crosby, and Fred Astaire full sequin dresses have been worn. Soft, detailed and sparkly: Similar to the marvelous creations of Ellie Saab these past few seasons. Here are some dress examples from DVF to Ana Sui.
MINIMAL MAYAN.
No deja de sorprenderme como el arte y la ceramica Maya es tan actual, bella y tan adelantada a su tiempo. Minima, imponente, geometrica y genial.
Just In Love
Don't blame me for what I 'm about to do... Maybe it was Paris, maybe it was the polka dot dress or maybe it was just my long lost love for the "JOBros" but for some ODD reason I 'm loving this song. I know... he has NO voice, but its almost hypnotizing. WIERD.
Art Nouveau
Desde 1880 hasta la Primera Guerra Mundial, Europa y Estados Unidos empezó a presenciar el desarrollo de un nuevo movimiento artístico: el Art Nouveau. Tal como el significado del nombre en francés “Arte Nuevo” el movimiento había llegado a romper aquellos esquemas antes impuestos por la academia. El movimiento busca libertad para crear e innovar, surgen técnicas artísticas como la reproducción mecánica, la xilografía, el cartelismo, y la impresión; que hizo que el arte se regase y esparciese popularmente. Influenciado por los descubrimientos y “categorización” científica (Biologica) de la época, el Art Nouveau fue fuertemente inspirado por las nuevas especies naturales, y el estudio de los mismos. Ahora los diseños eran escurridizos, ondulantes, y curvilíneos. Paralelamente, e n Inglaterra (1860) se establece un acuerdo de comercio con Japón. Esto hace que Europa se inunde de influencia Japonesa lo que lleva al estilo “Nouveau” a adoptar la influencia Oriental. Dentro del movimiento
HOME OFFICE.
Aquí esta uno de los proyectos que he realizado este semestre en diseño de interiores. Constaba en una Home Office anexa a una casa y era de una joven restauradora de pinturas.
Tengo una muñeca que regala besos
Hace unos días me encontré, como ya es de costumbre, perdiendo mi noche entre la mala programación televisiva hasta que como por obra de magia me choque con la grandeza de un concierto de Fito Páez en Madrid. ¿Qué mejor forma de terminar un día? ES GENIAL. Hoy cuando amaneció desperté con necesidad de desempolvar lo bueno y lleve conmigo el CD de Sabina y Páez: Enemigos íntimos. 15 minutos después encerrada en el trafico me tope con la canción 4 del Cd: Tengo una muñeca que regala besos. Los dejo con lo grande, lo que me mueve, con lo genial y efímero. (dejaremos otro día para Sabina) TENGO UNA MUÑECA QUE REGALA BESOS Tengo una canción, una habitación, tengo una muñeca que regala besos, Nada en especial, un emotival no sé cuántos huesos y una foto de papá y mamá… ¡qué jóvenes están! Tengo que aprender uno y uno: tres, ya se que la vida es una herida absurda. Ganas de matar, dos copas de más, una risa curda, un libro viejo de Roberto Arlt que no me deja en paz. Tengo una cruz de estrel
LOTD: Street Couture
LOTD: Street Couture by MARIAINESMVS And by "couture" Im talking about a $6,500 Michael Kors Skirt but you could just throw any cool printed skirt!.
Forget Me Not
Sad, passionate and somehow beautiful movie. Two strangers, one night in London, nothing more to add. watch it, feel it!.
I definitively should
I should read more. I should sleep at night and live under the morning light. I should do so much more. I must learn how to play my guitar, wear those untouched pair of shoes, and someday learn how to dance like only Fred Astaire can. I should do so much more. I should stop watching a movie a day, and my diet should last more than one day. I should buy a ticket and fly to new york and maybe find love in the middle of 5 th and 4 th . I should let my hair grow, and in the market get a paeony red tone for my sometimes forgotten nails. I should do so much more. I should start running. I should finish all the started books. Brush my teeth at least 3 times a day and for once in my life clean the paint drops scattered all around my bedroom’s dark tile. I should change my desks light and probably get passed nonsense. I should do so much more. I should stop desiring every walking dog, And stop missing my eternal summer city love. I should do so much more. I should.
MADNESS
Living in a troubled world, Sick from people’s madness. Living in a different world, Where your soul it’s not important. Where am I supposed to go? Who am I suppose to be? Should I give up myself to the madness? Should I ignore my soul and give up to my body? What if what I am its not accepted and what I should is not who I am? Who should I be? Where do I keep my flowers and my color explosion; my music and my overweight? What do I do with my hurt feet, my wild hair, and my unspoiled necessity to believe? Where do I save the ocean I’ve cried absorb now by my pillow? Where do I keep Paris, Rome, and my everlasting desire for winter in New York? Am I supposed to forget my desires and personality to be one? Where do I lock my innate crave for dots and stripes? Am I supposed to overlook my existence to please others? Who comes first, my surroundings or myself? How do I turn off the music playing in my soul? How do I forget every melody, every note, and e
Arturo Monroy
I can’t imagine what would have been going into the house of great Miguel Angel, but no doubt it would’ve been something similar to what I experienced in the house of “Mr. Great and Favorite painter” Arturo Monroy. As soon as you walk into the door you know you are in presence of greatness. Is not only a house, it’s a studio, gallery and home, what a great combination of great spaces. Just as his paintings, Monroy’s house was decorated with his notorious rustic and brilliant style, every room with drops of his thick brushstroke personality. Windy, white and with great light. From his beans sculptures to the huge Atitlan Lake reinterpretation painting, every thing looked great. I hope you enjoy, as much as I did, this picture tour through the spaces of his mind.
Interior
Interior design project for a house for late Yves Saint Laurent in Antigua Guatemala. My final project was to decorate the house merging Saint Laurent style with Antigua’s colonial traditional decor. Yves has always been inspired by colors, textures and cultures and this project was imagined to be his new inspirational refuge in America. This are some of the final views.
Pasaje Oakland
Pasaje Oakland is a new housing project in Guatemala, made up of 26 houses (4 different styles) and located in the new city center. For this project I was in charge of fixing up the renders, making the logo and developing a selling booklet for future buyers. I worked parallel to the design team and gave the project the image designers wanted. Above: Renders I received. Below: P ages of the final booklet with logo, house plans and views of the project incorporated.
The Magnificent Giotto
"The most sovereign master of painting in his time, who drew all his figures and their postures according to nature." - Giovanni Villani Giotto changes everything, he changes art from medieval to modern and he opens the Italian renaissance. Follower of Saint Francis of Assisi and his philosophies which talked about poverty, love for life and nature. Giotto draws naturally, he draws figures as they are, uses movement and perspective. Simply great. Here is a great link to view lots of his work and details in it. Giotto
WINE, CIGARS AND MANHATTAN
One of Mr. Woddy Allen´s great creations. 96 mins f illed with beautiful fashion, views and 1970s in NYC. Manhattan narrates the story of a divorced New Yorker currently dating a high-schooler brings himself to look for love in the mistress of his best friend instead. WATCH HERE!
Blue Skirt
Today I finished my first piece of clothing, a simple blue skirt. Stupidly exited and with the desire of capturing the event I decided to take some pictures which ended up been of everything BUT the skirt. Here they are!
FAUVISM INSPIRED
Inspired in the crazy, colorful and organic paintings of the fauvism movement, these are the first drawings of my first fashion designs. They are a modern/bohemian abstraction of Matisse´s crazy silhouettes, prints, and patterns.
ALONENESS
Calm… Quiet… Solitary. Once again the rain has washed it all. All of what was done, the heat, the noise, the life lived. All washed with the rain. Tonight there are no stars, no moon, no life, just the soft, embracing drizzle watering the rock road and wooden roofs. Calm… Quiet… Dark. No light above the city… not tonight. Closed. So closed no one may come with her tonight. So closed she will consume darkness. Tonight she is gloom, she is lonely, Tonight, she is the only one up. Wet, so wet the avenues have become rivers, So wet gardens have become pounds So wet she’ll have no company. And there she goes, As every May night, alone. Calm, quiet, solitary. Just as her people, just as she is.
MY LOVE IS HERE TO STAY
My definition of love always end up being summarized in a soft slow song. Anyways, is there any other way to describe it? Its easy, smooth, and endless, just as the song says "my love is here today...always". These are the lyrics for a beautiful song by Tristan Prettyman. (Couldn't find it on youtube, but maybe you can hear it somewhere else, its worth it!) MY LOVE My breath for you will always be soft, sweet and shallow this body you can always use as your pillow to rest your tired head those days that seem to never end but my love is all you need so don't look back again... when you go...away you know, your already so far away but I want you to know my love it here to stay so don't let me get in your way no not today... I can hear the rain in the wind it hits me like you hit me within and words are not needed now cause you know me so well and that's how I can tell I can tell I can tell I can tell so go go go go ohh run away and just know my love is here toda

ELIE SAAB EXQUISITE COUTURE
Haute Couture refers to the creation of exclusive custom-fitted clothing . Haute couture is made to order for a specific customer, and it is usually made from high-quality, expensive fabric and sewn with extreme attention to detail and finished by the most experienced and capable seamstresses, often using time-consuming, hand-executed techniques, there are no machines involved in the process. Each garment is a unique peace of art work. Understanding the meaning and what it takes to make these clothing I present the latest Elie Saab Haute Couture runway. Its angelical, beautiful and in every way, how I see it, organic three-dimensional pieces of art. VIEW ENTIRE COLLECTION
VIOLIN CONCERTO
The Violin Concerto in D major, Op. 35 was written by Pyotr Tchaikovsky in 1878 in Clarens , a Swiss resort on the shores of Lake Geneva , where Tchaikovsky had gone to recover from depression. Tchaikovsky was joined there by his composition pupil, the violinist Iosif Kotek . Tchaikovsky wrote to his brother Anatoly: "It goes without saying that I would have been able to do nothing without Losif. He plays it marvelously." Tchaikovsky wanted to dedicate the concerto to Iosif Kotek, but felt constrained by the gossip this would cause about the true nature of his relationship with the younger man. (They were almost certainly lovers at one point.) The concert is considered to be among the most technically difficult works for violin . I love it. Its beautiful, strong and soft.
