NOVO PROJETO

É isso mesmo tenho um novo projeto www.artandcouture.blogspot.com . Fico à espera da vossa visita.

A P C x KANYE

Esta colaboração deu origem a uma coleção cápsula, onde o corte e a qualidade dos tecidos são as grandes mais valias, tendo em conta que não existem estampados, claro que o nome do artista eleva estas peças para outro patamar. A sweat de manga curta com capuz e a hip hop t-shirt são fantásticas.

INSPIRED BY PUNK

Uma das tendências para o próximo inverno.

TOM FORD WINTER 2013 CAMPAIGN

Uma grande campanha, para um grande criador. Tom Ford não descura nenhum detalhe, só assim se pode vencer no segmento de luxo, onde se enquadra. Tom Ford está de certeza na wishlist de muitos e nos closets de poucos, mas ainda podemos ver, admirar e inspirarmo-nos com o seu fantástico trabalho, pois deve ser dos poucos prazeres que nos restam livre de impostos.

FIFTY SHADES OF BLUE MEN TREND WINTER 2013

O azul é sem duvida uma das cores do próximo inverno, mas surge em vários tons, dificil de identificar apenas uma das possibilidades que o azul nos oferece, na próxima estação vamos ter várias nuances, do clássico navy, passando pelo indigo e a terminar temos o alegre e iluminado azul celeste.

TOTAL GREY MEN TREND WINTER 2013

O cinza deixa de ser aborrecido, e neste inverno vai representar muito mais do que um dia chuvoso e nublado. Mais do que uma tendência, é uma dica de styling para o homem moderno e cosmopolita, e uma alternativa elegante para aqueles que têm a árdua tarefa de estar sempre impecáveis. Descobri as vantagens do cinza à uns anos atrás, e posso garantir que uns sapatos cinza são indispensáveis. Este tipo de look é arrojado e chama a atenção, nunca se esqueça que se não estiver confortável com o que tem vestido, toda a gente vai notar.

Came from a broken home. Gil Scott-heron

I want to make this a special tribute To a family that contradicts the concepts Heard the rules but wouldn't accept In addition, women-folk raised me In addition, I was full grown before I knew I came from a broken home Sent to live with my grandma down south When my uncles was leaving And my grandfather had just left for heaven They said and as every-ologist would certainly note I had no strong male figure right? But lily Scott was absolutely not your mail order room service type cast black grandmother I was moved in with her; temporarily, just until things were patched, 'Til this was patched and 'til that was patched Until I became at 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 The patch that held lily Scott who held me and like them 4 I became one more and I loved her from the absolute marrow of my bones And we was holdin' on, I come from a broken home She had more than the five senses She knew more than books could teach And raised everyone she touched just a little bit higher And all around her there was a natural sense As though she sensed what the stars say what the birds say What the wind and the clouds say A sensual soul and self that African sense And she raised me like she raised 4 of her own And I was hurt and scared and shocked when lily Scott left suddenly one night And they sent a limousine from heaven to take her to god, if there is one. So I knew she had gone And I came from a broken home.And so my life has been guided All the love I needed was provided And through my mothers sacrifices I saw where her life went To give more than birth to me, but life to me And this ain't one of the clichés about black women being strong Cause hell if you're weak, you're gone But life courage determined to do more than just survive And too many homes have a missing woman or man Without the feeling of missing love Maybe they are homes that are hurt But they are no real lives that hurt without reach But not broken Unless the homes of soldiers -stationed overseas Or lost in battles or broken Unless the homes of firemen, policemen, construction workers, seamen, railroad men, truckers, pilots Who lost their lives -but not what their lives stood for... Because men die, men lose, they are lost and they leave And so do women ... I came from what they called "a broken home" But they ever really called it "a house" They would have known how wrong they were We were working on our lives and our homes Dealing with what we had, not what we didn't have My life has been guided by women But because of them -I am the man. God bless you mama -and thank you.

CHECKS AND PATTERNS OVERSIZED MEN TREND WINTER 2013/2014

No próximo inverno, muitos criadores fizeram zoom a vários tipos de padrões como o tartan ou a pata de galo, e usaram toda a sua criatividade para nos oferecerem desde o fato mais clássico e contemporâneo até um arrojado kilt.
