Posh Underground

SNOW, yu no fun, maaan! I'm going to beat the shit out of you if you don't stop fucking snowing! Seems like four seasons are only on pizza. Let me give you just five reasons why I lately hate snow (well, it's ok in December and if I go snowboarding). 

1. It's dangerous! Stop laughing, now...it really is! Snow is dangerous if you’re walking, running, jogging, standing, driving, flying, whatever. Basically,  if you’re alive and there happens to be snow where you are, you're screwed.

3. Snowball fights and shit. No, I'm not Grinch or something. I also enjoy snow sometimes, but I have to be on the right place and dressed in the right clothes. So if you're thinking about to pick up two handfuls of fucking ice, mould them together into one huge piece of ice, look me in my face and then throw it at me...forget it. Not going to happen, because if, I will slap you! Don't get me wrong. I don't mind if someone throws one snowy ball at me in joke, but making me all wet in inappropriate outfit - I do mind! 

Let's talk about this cool brand named Black Milk Clothing. I've been obsessed with these clothes for quite a long time. Not only because clothes and shoes are absolutely...wait, let me find a word to describe it. Fuckingawsomecoolbadassedgy! But also because of the way mister James Lillis made it into this crazy, full of everything fashion world. Reading his short story on the website (I have really grabbed a cup of coffee and later a bag of chips, thank you for suggestion) how he started by not even having a sewing machine, since he couldn't afford one, so he had to sell his CD player to the local pawnshop, having no idea latter how to sew (just like me right now), not being able to afford any fabric but $2 per meter nylon lining as he only had $6, later not getting any shop to sell his first things (actually the reason why they are still selling things on-line), trying to sell things on the hot Australian sun, even though no one would buy it, gave me some hope, that maybe even I could make it with my own line, someday, soon in the future. I just love people that I can identify with. And I love the way he's telling his story. You can feel how tough, hard it was, but he's still explaining  the story with humour.

If I go back to the clothes: I like it when I fall in love at the first sign with some designer. Ok, that sounds wrong. You all know I mean, with their clothes, right? You just see something and you immediately see all the different ways you can wear those stunning pieces. And that's what happened here. Chemistry. Now I just have to buy something one day, hopefully soon. Oh, money...why don't you like me so much? Anyway, I chose just "a few" things I like the most from the website. Check it out and let me know what do you think? I'd seriously love to know that from time to time, guys. 

It's time to say good night, Friday - hello to my second favourite S word...Saturday!

I went to watch my dear friend Stefan Šumanac - Šumi for the first time acting like a stand up comedian. Gosh, he's so damn hilarious! My favourite joke was still the one about Jesus. He said something like " I don't understand, he woke up from the death, performed miracles and all that, but he couldn't survive three nails." Haha, how funny is that, honestly? I'll post more about the whole event, tomorrow. It's just too funny to keep it just for myself. Until than, I'll give you a little sneak peek into us fooling around and making jerks from ourselves. Good night, lovelies...or well, good morning:)

Another perfect day surrounded with fashion and...fashion. Today we had a little sneak peek in fashion backstage, you know how things usually go. From dressing up, make up until photoshooting and qiuck cat walk. The point were still clothes, the only difference is that this time there was no real runway. Like I said, you had a little sneak peek in everything. And I absolutely loved it! It was something new, something unusual and we need that. I'm sorry guys, but Slovenia is all about things and people we already know (just a quick example : at Viktorji (Slovenian "Oscars"), the same people are nominated, awarded, invited... and not just for a few years, but over 15 years, c'moon! How stupid is that, seriously?), that's why we need something fresh. New. And that's why I enjoyed this event, pretty much. We have seen five Slovenian designers, this time : Draž pletenine, JSP, Maja Štamol, Nataša Hrupič and Nives Design. Talking about all this talented ladies and their clothes, I have to admit something:  I'm dying over JSP clothes. Every single piece is nothing but breathtaking and a big I-want-that-in-my-closet! Well, unfortunately it's maybe a bit too expensive for me, but who knows. I bet I'll have at least one piece in my closet someday. It's like heaven on earth, no kidding!

Unfortunately, I forgot my camera battery at home so I had no choice but to take pictures with my super phone. And, yes...if you're wondering, I took my camera, but forgot my battery - so me! Well, there was at least my favourite Mimosa's so I haven't worried for too long about that. With every glass a bit less, if I'm completely honest, here. Anyway I'll post some real pictures when I get some pictures from photographers, but until than...what you see is what you get, haha. Take a peek and let me know what do you think about this whole event? Or even better about today's represented Slovenian designer? Who's your favourite and mostly...why?

First, let me thank photographer Aleš Romaniuk, who's always nothing but nice to me, for letting me use his pictures for my post. I just used another filter, like usually. Thank you, I owe you a beer!

I know it has been a week since Bon Voyage fashion show, which happened in my favourite place... Metelkova! The fashion show was actually in probably our best youth hostel on Metelkova, Celica. Before I start writing my thoughts down about the whole event, I would first really like to thank for inviting me over. It was such a pleasure being there and seeing all those new, nothing but super-talented young Slovenian designers! So, thank you so much for having me there!

After her show I haven't had any time to get back to reality because there were already... not one, but two lovely ladies named Ema Bavcon and Saša Nemec who have joined forces and made together Mary Q collection. The creations dominated flatness, geometry, patterns and combining light and rigid materials. Since I'm also working on my first collection (it's gonna take some time) and I know how hard it is to come up with something or just start with your inspiration book, I'm sometimes so fascinated about some designers and their work. Karmen Koren for example was one of those girls who make you think something like "how the hell can she do something like this?". What's special about her collection Swing is that it's made of processed old clothing and fabrics in which we feel interesting stories that give them special charm. And they are environmentally friendly, too. Yes, she makes something new from something old, but you would never tell that something new is actually old. Another collection "Girls just wanna have fun" which arose from the hands of Tina Starc inspired by 80's. Years full of exuberance, dance, street style, pop music. What's especially interesting about this collection is that jewellery added to the laces makes the collection special,  unique and trendy. 

Now you're probably thinking we have seen everything possible on runway, but you're wrong! There was much more, and it's not the end, yet. The next lady who's trying to make her way into fashion industry is Eva Jančar Kalan (Evita), who was inspired for her Sexy MF collection by music and personal style of  musician Prince. Why? Simply because he's seductive, sex-appealing, slightly provocative and at the same time he  is honoring women. The complete opposite of Eva was another young designer Nika Torkar (Nikato Couture) with her collection "Ready-to-wear" which was full of short dresses and sweaters knitted in warm tones of red, beige and brown. Because I absolutely love and admire broad patterns I really enjoyed her collection. Almost the last were again not one, not even two, but three ladies Nataša Belcijan Natalie, Barbara K. Germ, Damjana Rožič who created collection Black & White Futuro. Leather products with lace accessories and glass emphasize sensuality, fragility and vulnerability of the female soul, its eternity is further expressed by handbags, in the form of a circle, which symbolizes continuity and immortality. And now (drums please) the last one and for the most of people the best one - Glow! Two designers, Elizabeta Lihovič and Nejc Švarc let us have a peek into their new collection which inspired conflicts of nature gentle and rough, soft and hard, light and dark.

I have no clue what to do with myself right now, guys. HELP!

 I want to cuddle and stay in my warm big bed and watch some good movie....but then again I don't want to do nothing, I want to do something! I have to take my little tiger ( read: my doggy Tashi) out for a walk, but I don't want to go out again. Don't want to, but I have to. Obviously. Do you ever feel like this? Don't you just hate it? Bwaaaaah. And I want to eat something good, something sweet but I'm too damn lazy to make something or haa...even worse go and buy something. Since all of you already know I'm a bit a vulgar person and my mouth should come with a warning label I'm gonna say this straight : FUCK THIS SHIT! 

I'm gonna enjoy this lazy manic Monday evening in my warm New Yorker sweater, make pancakes, stay in bed and watch Two and A Half Man...with Charlie! Btw, I don't think I'll ever get over it that he just died in 9 season. I mean, don't get me wrong. I do love Ashton Kutcher, I really do but c'moon, let's be honest here...it's not the same without Charlie. I'm with you CHARLIE HARPER!!! 

Still remember photoshooting for Agencija 22 I was talking about a week ago? I got some behind the scene pictures a few days ago, but I just really couldn't find any time to write something, or just post the pictures up...so I'm doing that now! And I'm really sorry I'm that late, dolls. Now, let me finally tell you more about the whole thing.

Agencija 22 was created with the aim to become the lead agency in providing hostesses. I know, now you're probably thinking something like "anyone can work as a hostess", right? Well, darlings...here's the trick! And I totally agree with you if you're thinking like that. It's actually true. Anyone can stand there and smile and be nice. BUT it takes a real girl to have a correct attitude, be nice, professional, look good, be elegant and have a feeling for working with people. And Agencija 22 had all that and much more. They also have some hostesses and models with years of experience in that business. And I knew all that before I had a chance to met them, but when I was there I was really surprised about some girls. For example. There was a girl namesd Tamara (girl on the left at the first picture...seems like she wants to say something) and she was absolutely AMAZING!  I'm not sure I've ever seen someone so photogenic. Seriously. She was the girl photographer and her assistant needed to catch all the time, because she knew so well what she was doing. Any pose she has made was more than perfect, in fact that good that we were just laughing, because we were that amazed by her. And she was done in 15 minutes, no lies. And not just with a few good shots, almost every picture was a good shot with her!

As I already said we had just one problem. Clothes! I should be, well, it was an Africa inspired photoshooting, but the problem here was that I couldn't get any clothes this time. The agency in not well known (as well as I am not yet, too), so it's not working the way I thought it would work, you know, just call H&M or someone else and ask if you could borrow some clothes for a photoshooting. NOPE! H&M said they have contract with only a few people (national television?), then I tried my luck with New Yorker, because they have some pretty cool stuff this season and I didn't even get the answer. I guess, some people rather do not answer than decline you. That's stupid! I wouldn't mind if someone said no to me. It's way better than not getting an answer at all. Am I really so "whoever"? So if I go back to the story (when I'm explaining something I always loose my track, haha), I couldn't get any clothes, so I had to improvise something from my own! And I'm not really happy with the final outfits, but it could be much worse, right? But what really counts here is that after all we've spent a great day together at the seaside, had so much fun together, got some pretty cool shots after all and FINISHED our job after all ups and down we had! Thanks to everyone for making me a part of that new experience! It was my pleasure!

Behind the scene pictures were all taken by Antonio Per, I just add a different filter. You guys are more than welcome to show some love and like his fb page.

I'm just giving you guys a little sneak peek before the real post.  So, on Saturday we had this Africa inspired photoshooting. This time I was not working like one of the models but like something I like even more - as a stylist.  I was invited by Agencija 22 , to work for them for this shooting we had at the seaside. Photos and the video were shot by photographer Martina Kofl. Backstage pictures, like the one at the top were made by the one and only Antonio Per. Even though I was pretty sceptical about the whole thing (I couldn't get any clothes, even though I have asked nicely a few different shops, so in the end I had to improvise something from my own clothes) I think we did a great job with the girls. And Antonio, of course. At the end of the day I was really happy and excited that I had a chance to work with such cool girls!
