Double Leather

I haven’t done outfit posts yet, but I can already say that it’s a lot of fun. I wanted to show the sweater that I made just yesterday. I’ve talked a lot about how much I love leather, so I finally made something nice for myself - Grey sweater with leather sleeves. (I’ve mentioned I prefer fake leather, cause I care for animals, recently I’ve decided to stop eating meat as well & guess what - I’ve never felt better)

Fast Fashion

The term ‘fast fashion’ is used for describing the business side of fashion of how trends are captured from the catwalk and produced in the shortest possible amount of time. However, that is not what I want to talk about just yet.

I've got questions: Interview with Liba Skuja

Lately it’s a lot about first times for me, last time it was the first G&M photoshoot, this time it’s the first interview for my blog. I interviewed Lība Skuja, a girl who definitely stands out in the crowd and is an upcoming designer.

'F' for First

This is the first of hopefully many photoshoots I’m doing for this blog. This time I wanted to show off the maxi skirt that I made. First of all, I’m no pro tailor, I just try to make things that I like and experiment a lot to see how far can I go with it. For now it’s a hobby that I hope to turn into work one day. So I’ve decided to share some of my designs and I’ll start with this beautiful skirt that I made for my friend recently. She absolutely loves them and is rocking it in this shoot.

Is Jesus trending?

In the past few years we’ve seen a lot of  religion themed fashion trends - crosses, rose crowns, biblical icons & other wonders. But the thing that I just can’t manage to understand is the one that I see on the streets every day. I see at least three or four Jesus-looking guys on a daily basis. Long beards, weird hats, horrible hair, long coats, glasses & homeless-looking clothing. And these are not homeless persons at all - 20, 30-something guys with jobs, girlfriends and families. I don’t really get the ‘beard thing’ as well, you get to see that in fashion ads and music videos, but all that comes to my mind is - Why?

RIGA FASHION WEEK AW13/14

Days have passed and I’ve found the time & the energy to write about what I’ve seen in Riga Fashion Week AW13/14. As always, I am going to be honest, if I don’t like something - I say it. If I hate something, I say it even louder. I had the chance to go to fashion shows by Ieva Daugirdaitė, Comeforbreakfast, Nóló, Lena Tsokalenko & Irina Skladnova. I’m going to write about the good, the bad, the great & the horrible.

'Eco' in Fashion and Gudrun og Gudrun

The competition in the fashion retail business in tough these days, it seems like you have to have it all - the trend, the quality & the best price for people to buy your product. But what’s good isn’t always cheap. So I decided to write about ‘quality’ in fashion.
