” You have to put up with the risk of being misunderstood if you are going to try to communicate. You have to put up with people projecting their own ideas, attitudes, misunderstanding you. But it’s worth being a public fool if that’s all you can be in order to communicate yourself”
Since during this month there’s a retrospective about David Lynch movies at the BFI in London Southbank, and I can’t help but singing endlessy Blue Velvet in my mind while watching the snow that doesn’t intend to stop falling, this is my inspiration today.
Poiche’ in questi giorni c’e’ una retrospettiva dedicata a David Lynch al BFI a Londra, e non faccio altro che cantare Blue Velvet mentre guardo questa neve che non la smette piu’ di scendere, questa e’ l’inspirazione di oggi.

Kate Moss and Johnny Depp, destined to become respectively the most famous supermodel in the world and one of the biggest stars in Hollywood, were posing here for Annie Leibovitz during their love story, when they were two young promising artists.
Kate Moss e Johnny Depp, destinati a diventare rispettivamente la modella piu’ famosa al mondo e una delle star piu’ brillanti di Hollywood, posavano qui per Annie Leibovitz quando erano due giovani star in ascesa, durante il loro amore.
Her role in Restless is really sweet, and so I created a set inspired by one of her outfits. Real, simple and down to earth, but at the same time cute, quirky. And a thing that I love is that the two main characters of this movie have the same exact hair.. Lovebirds!
Il suo ruolo in Restless di Gus Van Sant e’ adorabile, ed e’ per questo che ho creato un set qui sotto ispirato a lei. Semplice e vera, ma anche originale ed eccentrica. E una cosa molto carina che mi fa sorridere e’ che i due protagonisti hanno gli stessi identici capelli da sparviero!
If you’ve seen the movie you’ll find out why I put a “bird” clutch in the set..
You can find all the details about the items in the Polyvore Set
Se avete visto il film capirete il riferimento della pochette con un uccellino dorato..
Per tutti i dettagli sugli articoli nel set sopra, ecco il Set di Polyvore
So far I just created one set inspired by the movie, but the outfits are so lovely that if I’ll find some more time I’ll post some more: stay tuned!
Per ora ho creato solo questo set ispirato al film, ma se trovero’ il tempo ne creero’ altri ancora, stay tuned!
I must tell that I love David Bowie, and Kate Moss too. Actually this cover of Vogue Paris is really breathtaking, and you know why? It’s not for the look itself, that by the way is perfect (Balmain suit), it’s mostly for the feel: looking at this photo you get just right into this glowy warm orange light, where someone is looking at you with that misterious and piercing stare, and I suddenly go back to my childhood when I was looking at the photos of David Bowie on the magazines and just wanted to be as sparkly and fascinating as him.
Kate was shot for British Vogue in May 2003 by Nick Knight, always as David Bowie, but as in the photo (aka the cover of Aladdin Sane) taken by Brian Duffy:
The two were also together in a photo shoot by Ellen Von Unwerth in a Blow Up mood.
Speaking of Bowie, I’d like to share with you some photos I took a few months ago at the opening of Brian Duffy’s exhibition at Idea Generation Gallery in Shoreditch, London. And yes, the Aladdin Sane photos were all there on sale, including a fantastic version in black and white. And I am broke. As always.

” […] Now that she’s going to college, it’s different. I went into her room at home in California, and all her clothes were gone! Her closet was empty! I don’t get to go in there and steal clothes anymore. It’s really strange. It’s sort of like she’s off making a movie, but this time she’s not coming back.” Elle about Dakota, in the W Magazine interview.

“[…] When I found out that I was invited to the Chanel show—that was the loudest I’ve ever screamed in my life. That was the best day of my life. It was my first fashion show, and I know every model by name.” Elle interviewed by W Magazine
I believe in pink. I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing, kissing a lot. I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles.
