In transition

A winter without snow, a gentle touch of frozen flowers.
In transition...
A period of hopeless dreams and crushed expectations. The birth of new reality - strange, dark and captivating... Let's prase the new begginings, let's feel it deep inside.

Зима без снега, замерзшие цветы...
Переходный период.
Время безнадежных мечтаний и рухнувших ожиданий. Рождение новой реальности: странной, глубокой, темной и захватывающей... Время  новых начинаний, восхваления и наслаждения.

Fall inspiration

Fall is the strangest time of the year: its calmness is captivating and frightening. 

Seductive and inspiring, it’s the time to enjoy the spicy tea, stay warm in your bed and hold the love ones… Enjoying the warmth of memories, feeling either deeply depressed or full of energy to pursue your dreams.

Fall is the perfect time to make a new step in your life, look at it from the different angle and write down your goals, have a diary full of secrets. It’s a new beginning.

My fall mood board consists of calmness of the breeze, quirky fire and the bold thoughts.

Stay gold and wild, enjoy the colors of the wind and big city lights.

Fernanda Ly : Pink hair and the lone eyes

When I first saw Fernanda Ly I immediately fell in love. She’s that type of model who fits both Europe and Asia. I guess the Western world loves her because of her unusual hair and very quirky mood.  In front of the camera you can see a variety of her personalities: from the lone eyes to funky crazy smile. It’s captivating and intriguing.

On the other side, Asian market got used to that craziness and hair experiments. When I first saw Fernanda at the Louis Vuitton’s show, I thought she’s Japanese. Her style reflects their culture in so many ways. But it doesn’t matter where she’s originally from as long as she is really breath of fresh air in fashion industry.

Summer inspiration

After being silent for a long time, I want to share with you a splash of emotions and inspiration.

I'm really excited about upcoming summer and already feel the mood of happiness, refreshment and freedom.

Summer is a small new life: time for adventures and travel, experiments and fun. My perfect summer is minimalistic and simple, full of details, bright and cold at the same time. I like it to be unexpected and spontaneous, a little bit vintage. I fell in love with style of  80s and early 90s with its bold and sexy swimsuits and tanned  athletic models.

On the other side, my perfect summer girl is mysterious and cold, a lover of unisex style and monochromatic palette. The ideal landscape is foggy beach, and the summer breeze is the only accessory she needs.

My eternal summer is Gauguin's world: Tahiti, color

Movies to watch: The pool, The Chinese Botanist's Daughters, Eat Pray Love

Summer goals: being open minded, fearless and free. Create, think clear and enjoy every moment.

Hope you'll enjoy these photos and have a perfect summer holidays.
