Beautiful Sewing Stuff

27/5/2023

 
Picture
When I am asked what I want for my birthday or Mother's Day, the answer is always very simple: tools please! Those tools are not a rake for the garden, an extra washing-up brush in the shape of a flower, a pot, pan or vacuum cleaner bag, but a sewing accessory. After all, nothing makes a seamstress as happy as a magic tool such as a pair of luxurious scissors, a cute seam ripper or an extra roll with inches on it!

And then I got this:

Or....  just make them yourself. An unique bag that just happens to look like a Chanel bag. A Chanel-Style bag! And the good news: two sewing patterns for free, the others for just a little bit of money!

Chanel with a horse, or better Stella?

10/3/2023

 
Picture
Last year, the fashion house CHANEL opened its fashion show with Charlotte Casiraghi, Prince Albert of Monaco's niece, riding her horse down the catwalk. Charlotte is a dressage rider and an ambassador for the fashion house. This playful action led to a lot of criticism because the animal welfare organizations said that a horse does not belong on the catwalk.

A few days ago, Stella McCarthy, fashion designer, vegan and animal lover par excellence, decided to do it completely differently. Horse-friendly and with a fashion message:

Chanel goes Senegal

9/12/2022

 
Picture
The new Chanel catwalk 2022/2023 took place in Dakar/Senegal. A location and collection that surprises me. Lots of denim,tiger prints and leather. Beautiful? Well, in my opinion the least beautiful collection so far.

And then the location? Do they really have to go on a plane to Senegal? What is this message to the world? Don't worry about CO2 emissions, we, couture-houses, will continue to 'fly in' all models/personnel/press to faraway places. In my opinion it's the moral duty of a trendsetter to set a sustainable example, as a message against waste, pollution and social inequality.

Anyway, the good news: The jackets remain classics and we also see beautiful green Bouclé fabrics. And the models represent a great diversity. Bravo!

What do you think of the new Chanel Couture collection? Judge yourself:
