For an entire week, from 12 to 18 of December you will find us at the Christmas bazaar at Parapera! 

We'll be taking over the first floor and filling it with our creations and lots of energy. In spite of these difficult times we are taking a stand creating and fighting back fear, disappointment and lack of vision. We are not giving up and we are sharing with you our love for handmade creations, traditional and modern as well.

In the bazaar you can find Christmas gifts, jewelry, accessories, knits, weaving, paper creations and recycled creations! There will also be workshops on the weekend and gift surpises!

See you there!

DIE FOR DIY - the culture of do it yourself

Going through the new issue of Elle, to my great surprise and joy I stumbled upon the article of Fotini Simos "DIE for DIY - The culture of Do It Yourself",

"The trend commands DIY in fashion, decoration, leisure, education and beauty. It is not just another lifestyle madness of hipsters, but a new social phenomenon that has its roots in the international economic crisis. A need therefore that is dressed with the mantle of beauty and style and steals the impressions, because behind everything there is an idea hidden. In other words, the DIY is the new "takethe  control in your own hands." A little fun revolution against consumerism. "

And more particullary for knitting: 

 "Knitting: The new yoga. The most hip girls in the city discovered embroidery, knitting and cross stitch and make themselves scarves, caps and sweaters. The trend started since psychotherapists spread that knitting is best stress buster. Researchof the Institute of Harvard Medical School, showed that knitting reduces the heart pulse to 11 in a minute, so the pressure drops. This is what the working girls of the city heard and pulled the needles from the grandmother's trunk! "

And because I'm working and hip girl ;) I knit with obsession: 

Two new bags in proccess:

Playfully Posh - My new necklaces inspired by the D&G alphabet line for fall-winter

Dolce and Gabbana's young label included cute and playful tight fitting knitwear, chiffon skirts and boyfriend blazers. The traditional autumn colours of yellow and orange got a D&G revamp with flowery, swirling shirts and tight leggings imprinted with letters. 

Multi-coloured horizontal lines with alphabet letter imprints dominated a great deal of the collection in the form of shorts, trousers, leggings, shirts,dresses and pantsuits.

The D&G accessories for Fall/Winter 2011-12 were high heel sneakers and alphabet necklaces, bracelets and earrings. 

I was delighted by this colourful, playful  and cheerful collection and was inspired for my new line of statement necklaces "Playfully Posh", which I made with colourful chains and felt letters and beads:

My new bag in the classic black and white fashion trend

If you are not sure about a colour combination, you can always rely on black and white, because it is easy for creating a fairly effortless wardrobe.

The crisp contrast of this classic combination is always in style, it’s classic, simple and very sexy and look good on every woman, no matter what is her hair colour or skin.

Monochrome is one of the simplest, most chic looks and never fails to gain attention when done well.

Marc Jacobs' collection was inspired by 40s silhouette and he combined this idea with futuristic elements, presenting a collection full of metallics, latex, hats, turtleneck sweaters, patent chunky boots, aggressive use of lace and lots and lots of polka dots.

One of the biggest trends of this season, if we talk exactly about bags - a combination of black and white. It is embodied in the form of cells that mimics the texture of the costume fabrics, prints “zebra”, abstract stripes and so on.

In the collection of  Salvatore Ferragamo were presented clutches from black and white tweed in the  classic style ”goose foot”.

Dolce and Gabbana have pleased there fans with bags- wallets with prints in the form of piano keyboard, musical notes, stars and animal prints in black and white.

My new bag is inspired by this trend:

Lana Sutra

On 6th of September, Benetton opened it's doors at the sjops in Istanbul, Milan and Munich, hosting a series of 15 installations with the title  ‘Lana Sutra’ , created by the young Cuban artist Erik Ravelo, transforming them to art spaces, to exhibit the projects.

” Lana Sutra ” is a concept of 15 installations, which were designed as a tribute for love, dedicated to the desire for an equal  society. ” Lana ” in Italian means wool and ” Sutra ” means the thread that unites. Ravelo uses real models as molds to form various erotic postures of plaster

Every body of plaster is covered with wool in several colour shades, based on the Fall-Winter 2011 of Benetton.The colors are  entwined together in the form of DNA, indicating that love can unite mankind.

In the words of Alessandro Benetton: 'This project combines traditional and new values ​​of Benetton as the authenticity of our uniqueness, our love for art and nature. Our new collection Fall-Winter 2011 United Colors of Benetton blends with this project.''
