I don't know if you're a color obsessed passionista like me, but I imagine as all of us do, we evolve and tweak our personal and style appearance every now and then!...
My closet is FILLED with every immaginable color in this planet! Red... well, all sorts of the like. Fuschia, Coral, Bright Colors have been the order of the day! It shouldn't surprised me that I hardly have neutrals or worse: BLACK or WHITE! YIKES!
In the means of getting the most out of this singular combination, I started looking for inspiration in the purchase of simple,elegant yet understated pieces. My muse? The one and only COCO CHANEL! The best influence and fashion advice that one could receive was from the infamous inventor of the little black dress, mens-wear-inspired fashions, beautifual millinery and of course Chanel No.5!
Coco did more than being a pioneer in the fashion industry by living way ahead of her time! Her most valuable work was letting us know by example that we can be very strong spoken, independent, talented and creative. All of us women have a voice!
This is a simple homage to one of my favorite fashion designers of all time. For the woman that has made me fall in love in black and white all over again. Thanks Coco!
Hola Passionistas! No se si ustedes son igualmente de obesesivas con el color como lo soy yo, pero ultimamente me he percatado que tengo demasiadas piezas de ropas en color y practicamente ninguna pieza en mi guardarropa en colores neutrales,mucho menos en blanco o negro! Auxilio!!!
Pensando en alguna forma de poder resolver esta situacion, de invertir en piezas durables, clasicas admito haber buscado inspiracion y refugio en la inigualable Coco Chanel! Esta ha sido mi musa y una de mis disenadoras de alta costura preferidas.
Con su forma de pensar, crear y vivir tan adelantada a su epoca es la responsable de tan conocida combinacion en blanco y negro, por el uso de ropa inspirada en el varon, pantalones, el clasico vestido negro, sombreros y por supuesto Chanel No. 5!
Pero sin duda alguna de la manera en que mas ha contribuido a la mujer es en su ejemplo de ser inteligente, audaz, decidida, con un alto sentido decisivo en lo creativo! Al escribir esta lineas lo hago en un sencillisimo homenaje a la mujer que me ha vuelto a enamorar con la simpleza y elegancia de piezas de moda en blanco y negro! Que viva Coco!
