Hermione de Paula

I was randomly browsing through blogs and websites and found her works- Hermione de Paula. Instantly I fell for the grungy yet feminine use of flowers & softly muted hue so I went ahead and look deeper into her other collections, more about the designer:


"Moving between London and Los Angeles, working at Spearmint Rhino was de Paula’s initial intention as a means by which to start and fund her label. However, de Paula’s lifestyle among the strippers began influencing and feeding into her work. With tongue firmly in cheek, de Paula launched her self-named label and unveiled her debut SS ’09 collection during London Fashion Week in an unorthodox venue where it all began, among the poles at Spearmint Rhino.
Recognised for her delicate hand-painted and collaged prints, Hermione de Paula continues to create a softly printed silhouette that dissolves seamlessly into the contours of the female form. Fading from the shoulders down through the body creating an illusion of nakedness. Prints are shredded and reformed into rouleau loops, which are hand stitched into voluminous, tactile embellishments reminiscent of feathers and fur.
Hermione de Paula studied fashion and print at Central Saint Martins, graduating in 2006 with a First Class degree. She has gained textile & design experience working for Alexander McQueen, Giles Deacon, John Galliano, Christian Dior Couture. Freelance clients have included Jennifer Nicholson, Diane Von Furstenberg, Tigi Bedhead and Gamila Fakhry, LA costume designer."'


SS09- I heart Elizabeth Berkley Collection




This collection is inspired by stripping starlet from the movie 'showgirls' and Hermoine reckons the label's style as feminine & sexually charged yet monchalant. Love the sandy color printed one piece!

That grungy vixen dark hue, hand printed floral pattern and the softly muted hue, a bit nostalgic isn't it?

AW 11/12





AW 11/12 is definitely my favorite of all, Hermione de Paula says this is the story of a twisted rose who recalls the memories of her lovers through the many roses she known. All I see is the beautiful yet dark, malevolent undertone, if the inspiration came from rose then I guess the roses have some really prickly thorn. I am also very fond of the veils of chiffon and all sorts of soft fabric that she used in the collections, I always think chiffon is the best fabric pick for the most vixen, grungy inspirations.


Halloween it in the McQueen way




If I had these scarf I would have sign up for parties on Halloween


This short film was introduced by Parisian directorBabette Pauthier highlighting the brand’s seasonal Fall/Winter scarf collection.

TIBI







TIBI Spring 2012 RTW
except the show is styled by one of my favorite favorite blogger- Elin Kling, the outfit is indeed so sleek & simple that you can just throw on and be wherever you want to be and not being over/under dressed anyway.

my makeup routine.
everything is pretty much the same everyday and when i find something good i usually stick with it for years.Gel liner & mascara are forever a must, the rest of the eye makeup varies but basically i use neutrals only; i do collect a little bit too many earth tone eye shadow from Mac- Brule, Wedge, Espresso & Brun are always in my on-the-go makeup bag. and i never put foundation straight on, always blend it with moisturizers/ serum/ Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer, i can't take the tiniest bit of cakey-ness.

how did you spend your Halloween? I did absolutely, nothing. I even almost forgot it was Halloween and don't even have the tiniest bit of urge to dress up and have fun. I stayed home with the boyfriend and the cats. Two cats, Halloween-y right?
