GOODBYE

There is a feeling inside me that encourage me to be

To be who I am and to feel everything that comes right into my heart

For a long time I didn't want to feel

…feel this affection and strong connection

Stupid as I am

I opened my heart for you

And my world turned upside down..

I hoped that I could have seen you for the last time, and kiss you goodbye

..A kiss that I imagine over and over in my mind

You're always talking about how you wanna be next to me

Kiss me and be intimate with me..

But why is it so hard to make time for me..?

?.. was it all just for fun or were you looking for attention

I will keep myself strong and keep holding on

That my thoughts are wrong and you do care for me

But it was never meant to be..

Today I realized that it’s time to be aware of what is happening in front of me

Time to accept and let go of what might have been.

So this is my way to say:

I do care for you, more than you will ever know

I wish you all the best and maybe someday you will find a girl who will give you what you think you gave her

.. your heart

BABY SHOWER

Yesterday I attended a baby shower that my best friend organized for her sister. The baby shower was a great success. We started with a High Tea with various sandwiches, chocolate, sweets and tea. After the High Tea we all got an assignment.
The assignment was: "create a collage about the life of your child/future child." 

Each received an (A3) paper, which was to be used on either side and a stack of magazines from which anyone could pick images out of it. All collages were bound together as a book, so her sister had a reminder of the baby shower. Above you can see my collages (the second and third image).

At the end there were a lot of cupcakes left and we were allowed to take some home. I made a little bag with cardboard to take the cupcakes home. My friend Jenny really loved the little bag so she posed with the bag, she also took the bag home(see the last two images). I enjoyed the baby shower because I had a lot of fun by being creative..

YOHJI YAMAMOTO EXHIBITION

Last saturday I was back in London and I decided to go to Victoria and Albert Museum, the world's greatest museum of art and Design. At the museum where several exhibits and one of them was Yohji Yamamoto. I had never been to an exhibition of this ground breaking designer, so I was very curious.

Yamamoto became internationally renowned in the early eighties for challenging traditional notions of fashion by designing garments that seemed oversized and unfinished, that played with ideas of gender or with fabrics not normally used in fashion. Yamamoto also had an unusual pattern cutting, knowledge of fashion history and sense of humour. 

The exhibition shows over 60 creations (women's and menswear) and a multi-media timeline that reveals Yamamoto's wider creative output.

I really liked the exhibition because you had te change to see the garments up close, they really took enough space between te garments so you could walk around it. I really zoomed in to the details of his garments and I was impressed by his use of textile and silhouettes. 

I recommed this exhibition to anyone who has not seen it yet. The exhibition will last untill 10th of July, so there is still time to see the work of Yohji Yamamoto..

“An artist is somebody who creates things 

..that you don’t need to have”

I Think of you

You are in my thoughts, in my mind

.. and I'm the only one who can get you out of there

But why are you still there..? 

Is the question I ask myself, over and over agian

.. the answer is simple

I have to accept that this is more than only a thought

It's about my feelings for you

They are true..

...I care for you

The museum occupies more than 5,000 square metres (54,000 square feet) of a 19th century palace in Getaria, to which a modern wing has been added. It also includes a documentation centre and a space for temporary exhibitions. 

This is the first museum built specifically for the exhibit of clothing. The museum will open tomorrow (10^th of June) for the public.

I hope, I will soon get the chance to visit the museum.

I'll keep you posted, thanks for visiting my blog..

THE SPANISH MASTER

Who is Cristobal Balenciaga..?

Balenciaga really inspires me. I have so much appreciation for this man because he followed his passion and was not afraid to be who he was, a true master.

Balenciaga created dresses of incredible fluidity and grace. He was a self-taught designer who learnt his craft by unpicking dresses he bought from other French designers such as Elsa Schiaperelli, Gabrielle Chanel and Madeleine Vionnet. At just 23 he opened his first boutique in San Sebastian, and soon attracted patronage from Spanish high society.

He staged his first show at his atelier in Paris in 1937, with a collection heavily influenced by his Spanish roots, such as beautifully embroidered bolero jackets and his"Infanta"gown (see image on the left)inspired by the costumes of young Spanish princesses.

In the postwar years, his fashions became even more streamlined, liberating women from the constraints of the tight-fitting hourglass New Look created by French designer Christian Dior. In contrast Balenciaga's designs flowed around the body. Through the 1950s, waistlines were dropped and then raised and then dispensed with all together in his sack dress, which despite its name was flattering to all shapes and was widely copied. 

Polka dots, inherited from his Spanish roots, and abstract flower designs were a recurrent theme, as were stripes and checks. Balenciago died in 1972 aged 77.

I hope you will check out my next post, because it will be about the openening of "The Cristobal Balenciaga Museoa"..
