SQUELETTE COUTURE

'Reveal The Inner Self' by Wei Ting Liang..

The title "Reveal the innerself immediately appealed to me because this subject lies close to me and it is a subject that regularly returns on my blog. Watch the video to get an impression of the collection..

The collection of the Taiwanese designer Wei Ting Liang was a final project for her 3rd year, at the Ecole de la Chambre Synidcale de la Couture Parisenne. I love that she only used the color white, this way you can really focus on the details of the clothes. She really studied the human body and particular the skeleton of the human body. She creates 3D effect with the skeleton pieces in her garment and it also looks spacious and light.

MY HEART

..Listen to your heart

Because then you will find your stilness..

Stilness will make you feel & experience life 

by letting you live..

Don't hold your feelings for someone that makes you feel, because that someone knows who you really are..

Some changes look negative on the surface but you will soon realize that space is being created in your life for something new 

to emerge..

Who is Eliot Lee Hazel..?

Photography by Eliot Lee Hazel 

Eliot Lee Hazel is a professional photographer, based in Los Angeles. I am so impressed by his way of photographing. There is so much mystery in his work that really touches me, because mystery raises questions. In every photograph he tells a story, by putting emotions and feelings into his work. This is his way of touching people..

BEAUTY LIES WITHIN

BEAUTY..

..? What is beauty

What is beauty without knowing

Knowing that there is beauty

Beauty in all of us 

and around us..

Beauty comes from within

The place where you find stillness

..The place where you are

THE REAL YOU..

BE PRESENT

Nothing ever happened in the past

that can prevent you from

being present now..

MOMU EXHIBITION

PART 2:

Last friday I went to the exibition ‘UNRAVEL’ in the MoMu fashion museum in Antwerp. It was very interesting to see how we still use knitwaer after so many years, so yes we could say that knitwaer is a continuing source of inspiration for the designers in the fashionworld. 

The exibition shows the important decades of knitwear in fashion by demostrating knitwear’s popularity both on and off the catwalk, and unraveling the changing status of the relationship between knitwear and fashion. It was very interesting to see how the various roles knitwear has played in social and fashion (r)evolutions.

For the scenography of the exhibition and the knitted items in the entrance hall, MOMU worked together with partners from the knitwearindustry. Designers of the so-called 'Phat Knits' (large knitted designelements), Bauke Knottnerus from Rotterdam, created some new and unique pieces for the scenography of the exhibition: an enlarged knitwear in the entrance and an enlarged seat-element.

If you haven't been to UNRAVEL don't worry, the exhibition will be there till 14/08/2011. And after seeing the exhibition you can enjoy shopping around the Nationalestraat or on the Meir. 

Also good to know is, after UNRAVEL the next exhibition will be about Walter van Beirendonck (one of the Antwerp six)..
