MIU MIU Spring 2012

“I designed it in fifteen days, right after Prada,” declared Miuccia Pradareferring to her improvised collection for Miu Miu Spring 2012. Inspired by Igor Stravinsky’s Le Sacre du Printemps, the collection managed to allude to many trends set forth by the shows prior, including colours, a clean silhouette and feminine lace.

The show was the last to take place in the last of the fashion week cities, but the collection suggested anything but boredom. What Miu Miu offered was a collection rich in patchwork colors, folk-art patterns and plenty of whimsy.

There was something eerily red-riding hood about the printed off shoulder capes, matched with cropped bra tops and delicate A-line lace skirts – but an eerie we definitely like. If this was the product of an improvised show then perhaps all designers could do with a little bit of spontaneity.

A DIVA ON A WORLD TOUR

Today I went to the basel fair 2012. 

At Baselworld, Hulchi Belluni and Claeys Verlichting present ‘Marilyn’ : a modern interpretation of the classical model of the bag chandelier.

Chains of beads run in three tiers from the top of the lamp, down to the ring on which the bag shape is mounted. The outer strings are composed of black Swarovski crystal, the middle layer consists of silvered Swarovski crystal and diamonds with a brilliant cut forms the heart.

The chandelier has a diameter of 110 cm. In total, it contains more than 257,600 diamonds. Price € 2,200,000 – part of the proceeds will be paid to the charity Make-A-Wish Foundation, the largest wish-fulfilling organization in the word.

The exclusive Hulchi Belluni jewellery, line, founded on 15^th October 2001. The collection is based on the philosophy of  Feng Shui or the ancient Chinese science of bringing harmony to all aspects of our lives.

Hulchi Belluni stands for Hul, the talented designer’s surname. Chi is the positive life energy or cosmic breath. Belluni is formed by “Bella Luna”, the beautiful moon. Every single collection is inspired of the daily life, a story or a memory. For example, the Victoria collection was inspired by the birth of the baby of a colleague from the Hulchi Belluni workshop.
