Skiss A/W: The Infinity dress

So while I was working in the Skiss upcoming collection this summer I was reading a lot of fashion magazines and blogs who told me that the next in thing was going to be the late 70's, well, this is one of the dresses we came up with, and as in the late 70's in Spain we're suffering the second big crisis in our country and what's better than having a polyvalent dress that you can wear in many different ways.

Today we introduce you the infinite dresses collection. This is the first one (and a personal fav)


1. The original model with a belt.




2. We didn't want our model to melt so we forgot about the leather jacket that could go perfect with this outfit and put her one of the sweaters of our collection.







3. We put a pin in the back, joining together the two sides. The dress now looks more fancy but you can make it more informal if you wear it with a floppy hat or a suede jacket.

Modelo: Irene
Vestido: Skiss

Being an outsider is kind of cool

The first time I heard of Band of outsiders was reading an old review of Pulp Fiction in one of my dad's music magazines.

I was like a nutcase looking for a copy of the Jean Luc Godard's film that had inspired the dancing scene between Uma Thurman and John Travolta.



Obviously the film was awesome.

The second time I heard of Band of Outsiders we were speaking about fashion. Someone was telling me to check out the brand's lattest collection...

Obviously the name said it all.

The models looked like a brand of outsiders, maybe a bunch of kids wearing clothes 90's inspired but at the same time with the freshness Grunge should have in 2011.








Without the need of the so much used and abused holes Scott Sternberg had achieved something I've been looking for too long, something grunge but at the same time quirky and obviously different in its elegance.










As I kept looking into their web and their 2011 fashion show I kept falling in love with everything over and over again. Not only the clothing is awesome but it has a remarkable quality.

Obviously his price tags go way over my budget but the way of put all of them together have become an inspiring folder in my laptop.

Coming soon... Backstage Valencia Fashion Week.

Band of the Week: The Joy Formidable

And if you're actually wondering why just hit the play.
Great lyrics, great performance, insane instrumental section of around 3 minutes that makes your skin sizzle and Ritzy Bryan's absolutelly gorgeous outfit.





And if we need to talk about their two albums, The Big Roar makes worth the long wait since a Balloon Called Moaning.

Their name is not just a coincidence, listening to them, any songwatching them perform is actually the joy formidable.

Falling in love over again

Besides of the lack of a shop in Spain where you could find Jeffrey Campbell, now we have Ulanka with insane prizes and free delivery expenses which actually was solving reason 1 and 2 of why I hadn't buy a pair of Jeffreys yet, now reason 3 is solved because Jeffrey Campbell has launched their Vegan-friendly collection that you can find in Convert.

It's not a worldwide collection yet but I hope it grows soon.
