Trufa, Silvia and Trista true to fashion...

Well, I have to finish with the PFD and the "primer congreso de jovenes creadores" subjects, because I still have a lot of runway pictures .

When you hear "new mexican talents" (of fashion), the image of a crazy, unstructured and impossible to wear dress pops up on our minds, the creativity and innovation is important, of course, but the mexican designers have to make weareable clothes, they have to put real fashion on the streets if we want to put the country on the fashion map. Because all the new designers had a lot of stunning outfits and incredible concepts, but what for? if their clothes aren't on people's wardroves, the point of the fashion is to be fashion, it's to be the must of the season.

Most of the designers want to desing for young, slim and tall women, but on real life... well, you know, so, what happens with all the women who want to dress fashion clothes but are too skinny, short or big? well that's the point, to put on target all the real people who wants fashion.

So, luckily there are a few fashion designers making outfits for real people, this last month "Trufa" was launched, very comfortable clothing, very fashionable, and luxurious fabrics, and for the woman that works and wants to be cute and comfortable.

Silvia Suarez goes for the weareable line, taking the scent of the Oaxaca state, very mexican but at the same time classic and on the trend (In fact, for autumn/winter 2008 Roberto Cavalli launched Oaxaca inspired dresses) showing that the mexican folklore can be chic.

And for luxury dresses, Trista would be your option, femenine and stunning, with a delicate silhouette.

Because fashion is all about selling, because in a catwalk it may look pretty but it has to be on the street, on the cover of a magazine, if you make a dress and a million girls would kill for it, you are making fashion. (Of course it has to be innovative and creative, but it has to be bought)

PFD the designers, the place and a pilón.

Hi! Here I am once again, keeping up with the PFD topic... well, the first day was all about new talents and the PFD project; the next day there were more catwalks, but there were two more important that were Malafacha and Sergio Alcala.

In the first edition of the PFD I saw the Sergio Alcala collection, it was very kitsch and colorful but it was not my style at all; and even thought this time it was a new collection it was very like the past one (in fact there were a few outfits that were exactly the same). Maybe it was because this saturday he will be presenting at the Fashion Week México.

Sergio Alcala

And Malafacha, it was a great surprise for me, their collection was divided in two parts, the first parts was in white and red colors with black touches, and the second part (my favorite) was pretty gothic but not so literally.

Malafacha

This was my favorite t-shirt!





Now, a lot has been said about the place where the event took place, the ex-factory La Constancia Mexicana, but if you want to make a fashion event here in Puebla, La Constancia Mexicana is the more iconic place to do it, (because of the story about how the ships with the machinery sinked several times before they arrived here, and it was because of this factory that Puebla became a textile state). And also I felt that the ancientry of the place melted really well with the runway and the whole context of a fashion event.

My boyfriend is the one on the right xD

PFD the beginning...

At last! and finally, here I am with lots of pics from the PFD, I wanted to put some advances but it was imposible, literally! (in fact i couldn't even sleep saturday and sunday because I had to finish another dress for a fashion contest) well the first day, we gave the finishing touches on the collection and delivered it on the ex-factory La Constancia Mexicana, I was a little bit nervous because we never had the time to put all the clothes together and check if everything worked as I expected it to.

But! seeing everything in the models It was great! the colors, shapes and everything worked according to the line.

The collection was inspired by the "extraordinary" trend, which is based in the 50's tea sets, kniting, and all things from home and we took also the "new look" of Dior to crown the trend.

We worked with a socks factory, so it was dificult to sew (its like cardigan but thicker) but, the great thing was that they made all the graphics that we designed, so the colors and fabrics were exactly like we wanted.

Our collection is called Killing me softly

So here it is!.

Its only missing one pink dress, but tomorrow i will post it.

Thanks to my boyfriend for the pics.

And theres a lot of material, so stay online for more PFD reviews.

Chanel, no sleep & squared eggs

Oh my! it has been a while, it's a long story: first the boutique where I was working at is closed now, so i'm an unemployed more in this city, but, the good news come now, the next week the Puebla Fashion Days will take place and there is a project called PFD Project xD and it's about 4 teams of fashion students from 3 of the best schools of the state creating a collection for several factories, so it's pretty exciting.

So here i am and this is my post

Did you see the last catwalk of Chanel? it was so rock n' roll, I totally love it, the guitars and the shopping bags, but... BUT!... the men clothes! oh my God, I fell in love with them!, I want to be a chanel boy. Usually when Lagerfeld creates men's clothes for Chanel they tend to be more sporty, but this time it totally was the essence of Chanel, someone wants to donate some money for my Chanel wardrobe?.

You might be wondering why I wrote about the PFD Project, well because I'm the chief of one of the groups, this past two weeks have been really tough, because we have been drawing, planning, building and coordinating the colecction, but it has also been very glamorous going to the photocalls, press conferences and rehearsals. I will upload the pictures of the catwalk later.

By the way I have making some graphics for the Trufa brand wich will be presented for the first time in the PFD.

And finally the true return of Britney has happened, have you checked out her last video Womanizer? it's great, and up to this point i have seen her wearing a dolce & gabbana belt in the video, and by the way, didn't you love the squared eggs? because I do.

See you next time with lots of pictures of the PFD shows.

Malchik.
