Some swimwear tips for summer 2019 by Admin

Are you keen on the latest trend and fashion? Have you already gotten your brand-new swimming suit for the summer? If yes, it never hurts to get informed about some extra insights. If not, please, do not hesitate to check out some of our tips below.

NEON

Not only have House of Holland, Prada and Off-White promoted the color neon for the last couple of seasons but also they are more tempting than you might believe first: super bright shades generate a deeper tan illusion. You might consider updating your wardrobe with one of these pieces…

Everything knotted

For this summer, the knotted style keeps emerging. Charming and practical, knotted bikinis and swimsuits can be customized. And guess what, Rihanna and Giovanna Battaglia Engelbert are huge fans of this trend as well! Feel free to play a bit around with those ties!

Animals everywhere

Snake, zebra, cheetah? Does not matter. Animal print has set its sights on the globe of fashion and marks its land in every kind of garments, shoes and accessories and its taking over the swimwear section as well. Not to mention the rise, since Kylie Jenner’ s post, shining in one of them. Do not hesitate, pick your favorite and head to the beach!

Polka-dot

The lively print merely refers to the summer nature, so why not wear it on the seaside whenever we get the opportunity? Last but not least, if you loved a vintage touch of your swimwear, Polka-dot is the perfect choice for you!

Sustainable…the sexiest!

Needless to say, that in today’s world sustainability is not only becoming more and more important but also trendy! Brands (i.e. Mara Hoffman) are becoming more and more conscious about moving towards this new trend. Whether it is plastic, fishing nets or reused bottles? Never mind, even if you may not love the dress, go for one! Do something for your environment! It can be as hot at least as wearing the sexiest bikini…

In a nutshell, it is extremely hot outside and we definitely need to start planning our next get-away to a spot full of sunshine. However, first we absolutely need to do a shopping tour for swimwear. After all, it is one of the most glamorous and enjoyable way to spend an hour. Feel free to check out some of our tips though before you take off!

Summer 2019: Hair accessories and how to wear them by Admin

Do you remember Blair Waldorf impeccable hair accessories?

Well, if you don’t, just know that this badass character from the Gossip Girl series was rocking stunning hairstyles. And, even if we cannot exactly pinpoint when they became trendy, hair accessories are here to stay with the summer around the corner for easy and fresh hairdos.

And YES, bows and barrettes are also for grown women!

Decorative bobby pins

Probably the easiest way to accessorize your hair and surely the funniest. You can let your imagination guide you and create your own style by arranging the bobby pins the way you want. You can create patterns in your hair and design amazing styles. You can also play with the volume of your hair and put them either at the base of your hair line to ensure a spotless slick hair back style, put them to hold locks of hair, or, organize them for the perfect sided hairstyle. In addition, this year, the trend is pearly, strass and metallic which bring a unique touch to your look for any occasion, but you can also go for more discreet bobby pins. In the end, they are both stylish AND practical… What else to ask for, right?

Word barrettes

Forget your graphic tees and all that you thought you knew before, THIS is the trend to follow these days! Just take a look at the examples below to see how cool they are! They are perfect for simple and practical (as for the bobby pins) hairdo for the upcoming festival summer days.

Headbands

Who said we were done with headbands after middle school?

They are perfect for the summer to prevent your hair from annoy you all day long and they are super stylish (Blair Waldorf was a visionary). And from simple headscarves to puffy headbands, you will recognize your style in the wide range of this must-have accessory of the summer.

Honorable mention: the black headband hairstyle is never out of fashion and all its shapes and all its way to be worn makes it the ultimate fashion accessory that everyone should have, not only for this summer.

Hair barrettes and clips

Hair barrettes and clips are ideal for a casual look. Definitely easy to fashion and as for the bobby pins, they can be pull out in different ways. This year, we particularly love pearls and barrettes make no exception, however, don’t hesitate to play with colors and volumes for an even better result.

Larger ones will be used to tight the hair behind the head and smaller ones can be used to pin smaller locks of hair elsewhere on the head and they have the advantage to be decorative and, let’s be honest, they are kind of cute. In the end, they are perfect to complete a summer look.

Scrunchies and headscarves

What’s more summery than putting nice pieces of fabric in your hair to tie it properly and dodge the heat?

Well, nothing’s better than a good old scrunchy or headscarf with nice patterns to reach the ultimate summer look. Although very casual, these hair accessories offer a variety of style, from ponytails to messy buns. Eventually, they will make your look more original and fresher!

At Capture Models, we absolutely love that hair accessories are back in trend for this summer and we can’t wait to try them all. If you are looking for more inspiration for your look, we recommend spending time on social media, particularly Pinterest, where you will find much more looks to get ideas from.

Summer is here, ready to let your creativity speak?

Spring 2019: the trend is Yellow by Admin

It seems like designers all agree this time and from runways to prêt-à-porter collections, yellow is THE trend of the Spring 2019.

In order, form left to right: Jacquemus, Balenciaga, Marc Jacobs, Brandon Maxwell, Carolina Herrera, Max Mara, Etro, Givenchy, Oscar de la Renta.

However, wearing yellow can be challenging. You have to be careful matching the right shade of yellow with your skin tone and hair color. For instance, if you are rather light-skinned with blond hair, you might want to go for a pale or pastel yellow while if you have dark hair and a rather dark skin, go for a sunny yellow or saffron!

The advantage of yellow is that you can basically wear it everywhere, from a casual street style with a matching pair of mom jeans for example to a classy yellow blazers with killer heels.

Not sure how to start wearing yellow? Our advice is to start small with accessories adding a nice color touch to your outfit, then when you feel more comfortable you can start wearing bigger yellow pieces and even go for the full yellow look.

Eventually you will enjoy matching different colors from your wardrobe Want to go for a more dramatic look? choose black sunglasses and accessories. Feeling more like summer vibes? You can match a yellow outfit with colorful accessories from classy pink to bohemian chic accessories.

In the end, yellow is the perfect color to go from casual to formal and to get ready for the summer by wearing a piece of sunshine with you.

So, how do you feel the yellow vibes?

What is ‘Camp’ fashion? by Admin

With the 2019 MET Gala which took place in New York City two days ago, we were all kept at the edge of our seat, waiting for celebrities to amaze us with their best looks. This fundraising event, taking place annually every first Monday of May and benefiting the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute, marks the launch of the new Costumes exhibit for the museum. This year’s theme “Camp: Notes on Fashion” is a perfect opportunity to ask ourselves, What is Camp fashion?

Susan Sontag’s 1964 essay defines Camp as “love of the unnatural: of artifice and exaggeration.” She is one of the first to have actually taken camp mainstream, but this art is still hard to define today!

Highly subjective and close to impossible to describe, Camp is said to be rooted in the LGBTQ community, and was for a long time marginal only to recently become more and more influent on mainstream culture. It is based on extravagance and is often described as an over-the-top fashion but the fact to have a whole exhibit on Camp art may be the best proof of its growing presence.

So… want to rock a Camp look? Just go extra!

In the end Camp is also about self-expression and escapism through fun fashion.

Maybe Camp is hard to define because it is not meant to be defined but rather experienced? Either way, the exhibit opens to the public this Thursday at the MET museum.

And we gathered here the best (and craziest) looks of the 2019 MET Gala, enjoy Camp!

Quotes to remember from Karl Lagerfeld by Admin

One week ago, the fashion world lost one of the most era-defining designer of the 20th and 21st centuries: Karl Lagerfeld.

Famous for its work at the French House, Chanel, where he has been the creative director for nearly 36 years, releasing 6 collections a year and outstandingly taking over the legacy of Coco Chanel, he is also known his bold opinions and straightforward yet wise statements.

To pay tribute to this irreplaceable fashion figure, we gathered some memorable Lagerfeld’s quotes.

On himself

“I am a black diamond, unfaceted. Black diamonds are rare, hard to cut, and therefore uncommercial.”

“I have no human feelings.”

“I am a sort of vampire, taking the blood of other people.”

“I am a living label. My name is Labelfeld not Lagerfeld.”

“I am a kind of fashion nymphomaniac who never gets an orgasm.”

On being controversial

“I hate double-talk. If I say something unkind about people, it’s when they’ve done something to me, however long ago, which in my opinion gives me the right to have a go at them for fun whenever I like.”

On designing

“When you hear designers complaining about the challenge of their profession, you have to say: don’t get carried away—it’s only dresses.”

On nostalgia

“There is nothing worse than bringing up the ‘good old days.’ To me, that’s the ultimate acknowledgment of failure.”

On selfies

“They are this horrible thing where you are distorted. The chin is too big, the head is too small. No, this is electronic masturbation.”

On self-image

“To think appearances don’t count these days is a lie: it lets you live in harmony with yourself.”

“Vanity is the healthiest thing in life.”

On style

“Summer clothes that are rumpled or relaxed drive me mad. I loathe ‘rumpledness,’ if I can put it that way. It’s okay between the ages of 25 and 30, but unfortunately after that it’s dreadful. I hate people in the street who look like they’ve raided their grandchildren’s wardrobe.”

“Don’t dress to kill, dress to survive.”

On Coco Chanel

“What I do Coco would have hated. The label has an image and it’s up to me to update it. I do what she never did. I had to find my mark. I had to go from what Chanel was to what it should be, could be, what it had been to something else.”

On his sunglasses

“They’re my burka… I’m a little shortsighted, and people, when they’re shortsighted, they remove their glasses and then they look like cute little dogs who want to be adopted.”

On luxury

“You have to live your life according to your ideas. Spend all your money and live life in line with what you are fighting for. I hate it when rich people try to be Communists. I think that’s obscene.”

On men

“I get along with everyone except for men my age, who are bourgeois or retired or boring.”

On solitude

“I live in a set, with the curtains of the stage closed with no audience – but who cares?”

On the world

“We live in a dark and romantic and quite tragic world.”

On weddings

“Normally, I don’t recommend me for wedding dresses – they all get a divorce.”

On life

“When I was younger I wanted to be a caricaturist. In the end, I’ve become a caricature.”

On money

“If you throw money out of the window throw it out with joy. Don’t say: ‘one shouldn’t do that’ – that is bourgeois.”

On his legacy

“I’ve always known that I was made to live this way, that I would be this sort of legend.”

On his inimitable image

“I am like a caricature of myself, and I like that. It is like a mask. And for me the Carnival of Venice lasts all year long.”

On being childless

“They grow so fast, and having adult children makes you look 100 years old. I don’t want that.”

On interview etiquette

“I had an interview once with some German journalist – some horrible ugly woman. It was in the early days after the communists – maybe a week after – and she wore a yellow sweater that was kind of see-through. She had huge tits and a huge black bra, and she said to me: ‘It’s impolite; remove your glasses.’ I said: ‘Do I ask you to remove your bra?'”

On fame

“You cannot fight against it. There’s a price you have to pay for fame, and people who don’t want to pay that price can get in trouble. I accepted the idea of celebrity because of a French expression: ‘You cannot have the butter and the money for the butter.'”

On intellectual conversation

“That’s exactly what I am. As a child I wanted to be a grown-up. I wanted to know everything – not that I like to talk about it. I hate intellectual conversation with intellectuals because I only care about my opinion.”

On TV

“I don’t go to movie theatres because I don’t want to be photographed by strangers. People bother me wherever I go. I like to imagine the world my way. I don’t want second-rate images of the world.”

If you want to find more about Karl Lagerfeld, we recommend the book The World According to Karl: the Wit and Wisdom of Karl Lagerfeld, a recollection of his statements on fashion, women, art, politics, love, and life high and low.

Rest In Peace, Karl.

It was September 1994 when Jennifer Anniston first graced our screens as Rachel Green with her slim physique and iconic haircut she was undoubtedly the most enviable character, not to mention her highly successful career in fashion that resulted in a job offer in Paris (jealous!) The subtle Gingham print of this a-line silhouette dress is perfect for any occasion as the weather starts to warm up. Pair with white trainers and you’re good to go!

Denim was a wardrobe ‘must-have’ of the 90s. Whether is was dungarees, pinafores, jackets or a classic pair of Levi’s, Jennifer Aniston pulled off every denim look effortlessly. In recent years, denim has been re-claimed by many designers as a high-end fabric and in turn it has filtered down to high-street brands who have been creating stylish pieces from denim. Coincidently 90s trends have made a comeback which makes it so easy for you to recreate a classic Rachel Green vibe. Copy her style at Urban Outfitters & PrettyLittleThing.

3. The Patterned Mini Skirt

This tartan mini skirt paired with long, white sports socks go hand in hand creating a preppy look expected of a young Rachel Green. Many would argue this was the beginning of the patterned co-ord trend which has reappeared in recent years. Other examples of this vintage staple can be found in films such as Clueless and Legally Blonde but it was Jennifer Aniston who started it all in the early 90s and paved the way for this quintessential ensemble. You can recreate it with pieces like these ones from Missguided & PrettyLittleThing.

4. The Little Black Dress

Jennifer Aniston knows how to create an understated look that still stuns on the Red Carpet. Here she combines sequins with a pastel, nude tone, natural makeup and a ‘beachy’ hairstyle that makes her look effortlessly flawless. At PrettyLittleThing you can find examples of both long-sleeved and short-sleeved maxi dresses.

9. Street Style

The ‘friends’ star is widely known for her chic, casual street style. Rarely, snapped looking anything but well put together by the paparazzi, Jennifer Aniston has got her personal style nailed. She often pairs plain t-shirts, (we think that the best ones can be found at Zara) with blue jeans and heels or wedges. Jeans are a staple for anyones wardrobe and we’ve found our favourite pairs at the moment on UrbanOutfitters.com, Zara.com & Topshop.com.

10. The Bikini

An article about Jennifer Aniston wouldn’t be worth writing without mentioning her amazing body! Nobody would believe that she has turned 50 years old this week from the way that she looks! Often snapped relaxing on beaches in southern American destinations such as Mexico and holidaying in European countries such as Italy it is undeniable that Jennifer has got the beach babe look down. She almost always opts for a Triangle style bikini to show off her toned stomach. The simple, triangle style bikini is very much in fashion again and great ones can be found at Urban Outfitters, Missguided & PrettyLittleThing.

Holiday Gift Guide by Admin

Christmas lights have been turned on in the streets of Barcelona and furry, warm jackets and scarves have made a comeback after last winter. We still haven’t opened the first window of Christmas calendars, but it is not too early to start wrapping those Christmas presents already now. That way you’re able to dedicate the weeks before Christmas Eve to ginger bread, mulled wine and just making it cosy at home. Everyone has been in that stressful situation and bought presents in the very last minute, so our advice is to avoid the bustle and prepare Christmas presents early this year. In this way you can enjoy the Christmas feeling without stressing in the shops.

Today we want to share some inspiration for your Christmas shopping. In the collages under you’ll find even more ideas! Write your picks down in the shopping lists and you’ll know exactly what you’re looking for for your loved ones. Let’s start with the girly favourites!

A red lipstick or nail polish is perfect for Christmas time but can also be used throughout the year. That’s a present that will colour up every girl’s day and there are both cheaper and more worthy options available, which will suit for every wallet. If you feel like dark red doesn’t fit your girlfriend or sister, choose lighter tones or the other Christmas colours gold or green. Beauty stores have made it so easy to give away cosmetics and skin care products as present. Almost every make up store has prepared gift packages that include different matching products wrapped in a beautiful box. It couldn’t be simpler to shop a Christmas gift for anyone! The only difficulty might be choosing since there are so many gorgeous options! If her make up bag is already completely full, head to the accessory department. You can look for fashionable scarves or gloves that aren’t only pretty but also necessary in the frosty winter weather. If you know her style well, you can even choose a nice bag, necklace or pair of shoes to hide under the Christmas tree.

If you want to be sure that your present won’t be laying in drawers unused, you can buy something practical for everyday life. Gifts for home are great during winter when we spend a lot more time indoors. That gift could be new high-quality headphones that a friend couldn’t afford himself. Or a smoothie machine for someone who always stops by at the cafés for some berry power. You could buy soft blankets or fluffy slippers to make hanging at home even cosier. Maybe your friend likes to be super organised or just tends to forget everything and you can buy a planner for 2019 to put his/hers new year in order. You can even prepare your friend for New Year’s Eve celebrations and give a pretty pack of champagne glasses.

I saved my personal favourite gift last and that is giving an experience as a Christmas present. It is a great feeling to give a present box and delight a friend with something material but most of us wouldn’t actually need the things. That’s why, I love giving presents that everyone will appreciate and be excited about; quality time. Of course, this present must be well planned to match the personality of the lucky one. But fortunately, there is a countless number of alternatives, so you’ll find something for everyone for sure. A spa day would be a perfect present for a friend who has been working a lot lately. An adventurous sibling would be thrilled to try out extreme sports like bungee jumping or diving. A visit to an escape room is for those who love to solve mysteries. A wine tasting for a wine lover, shopping tour for a shopaholic or a ticket to a favourite band’s concert. And who wouldn’t like a nice evening in a good restaurant? The list goes on and on and that is the reason I love giving (and getting) these unforgettable presents.

Didn’t you find anything from this list for the one you wanted to surprise? Behind this link you can read our gift ideas for Valentine’s day – some of them are perfect Christmas presents as well!

How about you, have you already started Christmas shopping?

2. JUMP IN A JUMPSUIT. If you’re not a fan of wearing a dress but feel like jeans are too casual, why not try out a jumpsuit instead? They’re fancy and festive – and best of all, they keep you warm and comfortable. Also, not everyone is wearing them, so stand out from the crowd and try on a jumpsuit! Christmas might be over, however it’s not too late to wear one in this bright red colour.

3. BLACK IS BACK. Perhaps you’ve been wanting to play with some new eye shadows or accessories? If you want to keep your outfit simple and let a bag or makeup catch the attention, then black is always a good idea. It’s classy and never goes out of fashion.

4. OUT FROM THE OFFICE. A huge hit this winter has been blazer-inspired dresses. The style is formal with a twist making the look interesting and perfect for the occasion. Combine the dress with a belt to give the outfit some shape.

5. FUR WON’T LET YOU FREEZE. It’s the coldest time of the year and you’ll probably be spending some time shivering outside in the cold. A perfect way to keep yourself warm, but still looking fashionable at the same time is a giant faux-fur jacket. Who would say no to that soft fluffy coat that makes everyone notice you!

What are you planning on wearing when welcoming 2019? Or which one of these options do you prefer? Tell us in comments!

BEHIND THE SCENES: PHOTOSHOOT by Admin

Have you ever wondered what happens before, during and after a photoshoot? The result probably looks effortless and easy but actually, there are many steps to go through before the beautiful shot is published for the audience. Today I’m going to reveal the sweat, stress and struggle that capturing the eye-catching photo requires, not forgetting the passion and pleasure that hides behind each photo. You get to follow Capture Models’ team to a photoshoot with a new model and get a glimpse of all the bustle behind the camera lens.

The saying ‘Well planned is half done’ is definitely true when it comes to photography. Therefore, planning where, when and how to shoot is one of the keys to success. As the weather in Barcelona can anytime surprise you with hot sun beams or hard rain, we were prepared with many outfit options and a versatile venue. We chose The Design Museum as the shooting location and it offered lots of different types of surroundings to work with. Also, we tried to match the model’s outfit and look with the location and atmosphere. Despite all the importance of planning, it is more than desirable to let the imagination flow. Spontaneous ideas can turn out to a photo that no one has ever seen before. And that’s exactly what a photographer wants – to create something brand-new.

And then finally, it was time for the photoshoot day! It was a grey day with a light rain, which doesn’t sound like ideal circumstances for creating an outstanding picture. The photographers had to crawl on the ground in search of the perfect angle and the model pose without showing how chilly and wet the environment was. However, we took the greyness as an advantage because it harmonised nicely with the harsh and modern museum area. Another challenge of shooting outside was all the other people doing their everyday work. There were people passing by and wondering what we were doing and cars parking right in front of our background. With a bit of humour, we accepted the challenge of being even more creative and didn’t let the lively environment around us disturb shooting.

After couple of hours of cameras beeping, we had memory cards full of pictures. The model’s job was done but our photographers still had half of the work left at home in front of their computers. Editing might sound like covering up grievances or improving the reality but that’s obviously not the whole truth. In fact, it’s more about correcting colours and boosting the strengths of the model instead of hiding the so-called weaknesses.

All in all, we had such an inspiring photoshoot day, and we’re so excited to show you the result!

Best street fashion outfits by Admin

When you are a fashion freak or you just want to look good and trendy, it’s good to look for inspirations in many different places. Nowadays, the most popular source is undoubtedly the Internet. Tumblr or Pinterest are only a few of the sites where to find the perfect outfit examples. There are plenty of fashion related profiles on Facebook or Instagram and hashtags like #fashion or #ootd that have been tagged over a few million times. YouTube is also a platform where you will find thousands of tips how to look up to the date and as fashionable as possible.

In this overload of information you can easily get lost or tired and finally, you won’t know what to wear at all. So we have a proposition for you. Take a deep breath and go for a walk around your city, because we can’t forget that still, one of the best places to find inspirations are streets of a metropolis. Barcelona can be defined as a city which is blooming with diversity, multiculturalism and really good taste in fashion.

Today Capture Models Team decided to explore the capital of Catalonia in order to find some trendy and unique outfits, asking people of their sources of fashion influences.

Elena is 25 years old and she came to Barcelona from Venezuela. Her style is quite modern, yet laid back. You can also spot some vintage influence in her styling. Biggest fashion inspiration? Cindy Crawford and her classy stilizations!

Catalina is 19 years old and comes from Chile. We met her at the beloved skateboarder’s meeting spot near MACBA. She wasn’t really sure what inspires her, but without any doubt we can say that Catalina is really into skater girl scene. Just take a look!

Corenne is 26 years old and on daily basis lives in Switzerland. We met her at the entrance of the vintage shop in Raval district since she immediately grabbed our attention. Oversized white T-shirt is surely the key element of her outfit and it looks simply perfect with her modern, yet throwback-to-90’s Nike sneakers! When she needs some inspirations she always checks them on Instagram.

Engi is also 26 years old and she comes from Switzerland. Her style is natural and breezy. She chose a basic, grey top, loose black trousers and some flip flops. It’s the perfect choice for a summer day in Barcelona.

We hope that this post influence you to look for fashion inspirations not only in fashion related websites or magazines, but also on the streets!

Best spots in Barcelona for fashion photo shoots by Admin

Today we prepared for you something special! We chose the best places for fashion photo shooting in Barcelona to make your Instagram feed even more exceptional! First of all, we didn’t focus on typical tourists places to take photos, but we went for more unusual locations. Take look and go for a photo tour today!

1. “Kiss wall”
Kiss Wall (1990) was designed by Joan Fontcuberta, the conceptual artist born in 1955 in Barcelona. He is most known for his works such as Fauna and Sputnik. An important part of his projects is, as he admits himself, a great sense of humor and originality and the genre to which his labour belongs is described by critics as postmodernism. “Kiss Wall” is an 8 x 3.8 m photomosaic of two lips that kiss each made up of 4000 small-format photographs printed onto tiles. The pièce was designed to symbolise freedom, affection, empathy. The giant kiss is designed to symbolise freedom, compassion and love. In addition to the deep message and values that the work presents, it is also a great place for stylish photo sessions!

3. MACBA – Barcelona Museum of Contemporary Art

MACBA is the most important museum of modern art in Barcelona, situated in the Plaça dels Àngels, in El Raval neighbourhood. The museum opened to the public on 28 of November 1995.

The museum offers not only a great exhibition, but its courtyard is a meeting place for skateboarders and young people. Why are we posting MACBA in the list of greatest photo spots? Simple.

Best vintage shops in Barcelona by Admin

In Barcelona, there are hundreds of ways of spending your time – from visiting the most typical tourist spots, such as La Rambla, Sagrada Familia or other Gaudi’s breathtaking masterpieces to diving into Barcelona’s fashion spree. And that’s what we have done today. As you probably know, Barcelona is famous for the streets filled with exclusive shops like Gucci, Channel, Dolce&Gabbana, etc. However, not that many people know about the flourishing vintage shops and markets. We made a quick tour around the city and visited four amazing vintage shops. We made sure to take some amazing pictures just so you would see what it’s all about!

Soul

The first shop we visited was the vintage store named SOUL, situated at Carrer de Tallers. Crossing its thresholds, we found ourselves in a place that’s magical and a little dark filled not only with ordinary clothes but also with various kinds of disguises. See for yourself!

address: Carrer Tallers 15

Vintage Store Tallers 23

The second one was more casual and is maintained in the style of the past two decades. There, we found some 90’s style clothes like polo T-shirts, mom jeans, outworn Vans or Converse. What surprised us the most, was the large choice of football shirts! For anyone who loves old-school aura and football – we totally recommend it!

address: Carrer de Tallers 23

Polly Maggoo

The greatest choice of accessories ever! Hats, all kinds of jewelry and neckerchiefs. When you enter the shop, you can definitely feel the 70’s vibe – the clothes are totally sublime and selected perfectly to capture the hippie era. Furthermore, the owner is very nice and helpful.

address: Carrer de Riera Baixa 4

Lullaby
Let’s dive into the 50’s! This vintage shop is not only full of amazing clothes from a few decades ago, but has an extraordinary inside design as well. Unfortunately, not all the things are for sale, but still, it’s the great experience to admire the owner’s imagination.

address: Carrer de la Riera Baixa 22

Johnny Depp’s most iconic looks by Admin

Johnny Depp celebrated his 54th birthday on June, 9th. So, to pay tribute to this movie legend, we decided to do a recap of three of his best looks.

Johnny Depp is unquestionably one of the best actors of our decade. Thanks to his strong friendship with Tim Burton and many other talented film directors, he offered us magical performances, all more different from each other. In addition to being particularly talented in his field, Johnny is like a metamorph. In each role, a new style.

We had the chance to see him in all its forms, adopt several haircuts and clothing styles. Whether it is in the cinema or in his everyday life, Johnny dares everything and his past as a rocker only confirms his extravagance. Hat, coloured glasses, scarves, nail polish, rings, tattoos, this man loves to accessorize all its looks for the greatest pleasure of our eyes.

It is true that we have been more focusing on the style of his numerous and all so fabulous women in his life. But we should not forget that he received a Style Icon Award at the CFDA Fashion Awards in 2012. Known for his eccentric looks, he does not hesitate to express who he really is through his clothes.

His mythical leather jacket. It’s reminiscent of Cry Baby‘s era, where the artist with his slicked hair wore a simple white t-shirt, blue jeans and heightened this simple look with his jacket. This will forever stay in our mind.

He can play very wise as with Kate Moss at the Cannes Film Festival for the projection of The Brave. Nothing more classy and more beautiful than Johnny Depp wearing a costume. His clean-shaven and brush cut confirmed that each of his red carpet appearances allows him to show his elegance and sense of refinement.

You know it, Jonnhy Depp’s hair is his trademark. His dishevelled hairstyle is emblematic. A levis shirt always opens and a devastating smile.

Johnny Depp has many facets and he will keep seducing his audience, through his films, his appearances on red carpets or in ads like Eau Sauvage, Dior.

Summer 2018 trend: PVC by Admin

Every season has its trend. It is true that sometimes, some are more difficult to adopt than others because they are more fanciful and out of the ordinary.

This summer, we got it, fashion is all about accessories of all kinds. We should not take everything for granted as a good look must respect several steps. Fashionistas like to try new things, associate colours, shapes, materials. They dare and we would love to do the same.

This season, PVC is the detail that will make all the difference. We never thought that this material famous during this winter season would return on the catwalks for this summer. But the plastic madness is not ready to stop.

There is not one but several plastics, transparent or iridescent. One thing is certain: brands and designers have had fun working on them for the spring-summer 2018 season. Indeed, just look at famous houses like Balmain, Burberry or Chanel that have exploited this trend on the catwalks by offering pieces in translucent or coloured plastics.

Available in hats, visors, belts, bags and sandals, PVC is the key material for this new season. Forget about the coats and rain boots, pieces you cannot wear under the crushing heat of the summer. Instead, think to change your goods and get inspiration from inspired by the bag “Gabrielle” or “Boy Chanel”.

The others did it so why not us? Do you dare to try this trend? After all, life in plastic, it’s fantastic.
