Deeper Luxury

The purpose of WWF (World Wildlife Fund) is to conserve the natural environment and ecological processes worldwide. This is taken to include fauna and flora, the landscape, water, soils, air and other natural resources, with particular emphasis on the maintenance of essential ecological processes and life support systems, and on the preservation of genetic, species and ecosystem diversity, and on ensuring that the utilization of wild species and natural ecosystems is sustainable... *

They have created a ranking with the most sustainable enterprises in the luxury market. The results are quite surprising in some cases:

1. L'oreal
2. Hermès
3. LVMH
4. Coach
5.Tiffany&Co
6. Swatch
7.PPR
8. Richemont
9. Bulgari
10. Tod's

Something that you will never regret

Today I was asked to think about something I bought and I'll never regret, even if many thought it was crazy. Most of you know what I am talking about, don't you?
What is your most coveted acquisition?



Hoy me han pedido que pensase en algo que compré y de lo que nunca me arrepentiré, incluso si algunos creen que fue descabellado. La mayoría supongo que ya sabréis de lo que hablo...
¿Cuál es vuestra compra más preciada?

Lady Dior

Marion Cotillard is the main character (apart from the bag) of this mini-movie which is said to be an ad for Dior and which was released today. I am looking forward to hearing what you think.







Marion Cotillard es la protagonista (aparte del famoso bolso) de esta mini-película que se dice que es un anuncio para Dior, y que ha salido por primera vez a la luz hoy. Estoy deseando oír qué os parece.

Mario Benedetti, I'll miss you

I know this is a fashion blog, but one of my favourite poets has passed away, and in the end, fashion has something to do with poetry, doesn't it?


Two of my favourite poems by Benedetti



Chau número tres
Te dejo con tu vida
tu trabajo
tu gente
con tus puestas de sol
y tus amaneceres.

Sembrando tu confianza
te dejo junto al mundo
derrotando imposibles
segura sin seguro.

Te dejo frente al mar
descifrándote sola
sin mi pregunta a ciegas
sin mi respuesta rota.

Te dejo sin mis dudas
pobres y malheridas
sin mis inmadureces
sin mi veteranía.

Pero tampoco creas
a pie juntillas todo
no creas nunca creas
este falso abandono.

Estaré donde menos
lo esperes
por ejemplo
en un árbol añoso
de oscuros cabeceos.

Estaré en un lejano
horizonte sin horas
en la huella del tacto
en tu sombra y mi sombra.

Estaré repartido
en cuatro o cinco pibes
de esos que vos mirás
y enseguida te siguen.

Y ojalá pueda estar
de tu sueño en la red
esperando tus ojos
y mirándote.



Don´t Save Yourself

Don't Save yourself,
Don´t be immobile
On the edge of the road,
Don't freeze the joy,
Don't love with reluctance,
Don't save yourself now
or ever,
Don't save yourself,
Don't fill with calm,
Don't reserve of the world
Just a calm place,
Don't let fall your lids
Heavy as trials,
Don´t speak without lips,
Don't fall asleep without sleepiness,
Don't think of you without blood,
Don't judge yourself without time.

But if in spite of everything
You cannot avoid it
And you freeze the joy,
And you love with reluctance,
And you save yourself now,
And you full with calm,
And you reserve of the world
Just a calm place,
And you let fall your lids
Heavy as trials,
And you speak without lips,
And you fall asleep without sleepiness,
And you think yourself without blood,
And you judge yourself without time,
And you are immobile
On the edge of the road,
And you save yourself,
Then
Don't stay with me.

Who is this lady?

It was a fairytale. But it wasn't hers.


Era un cuento de hadas. Pero no era el suyo.

"Model as Muse" at MET, NYC

My personal favourites


They are absolute perfection



The hardest part was having Kate Moss in my worst-dressed list. So sad.

Leighton Meester looks like a clown -even if it's LV- and Mary-Kate looks like the terror house housekeeper... Is it me the only one who thinks that?

Supermodels?

Is the world ready to let the supermodels go? And apparently Katie is not pregnant...


¿Está el mundo preparado para dejar irse a las supermodelos? Y aparentemente Kate Moss no está embarazada...
