today at the office i was once again surrounded by the fashionably dressed fellow Voguettes, that walk around on their heels with grace and work hard, harder than you probably imagine.
here are some little treasures

though things are tough for fashion, some designers are ready to take the next step.
Dimitris Dassios is opening his own boutique in the center of Athens to store his colorful boho jewelry and leather creations.
our beloved friends,
On behalf of kuakuakua i would like to thank all of you for a wonderful night, for the head banging and the photos, for screaming out lyrics- sharing laughs-playing air guitar -throwing your set in the air like you just didn’t care.
Till next time
black and gold, the higher the better- are you with me?

Exclusive one-off pieces, limited series, creation in design, jewellery and fashion… A three-part editorial line launched by Galerie BSL which opened to the public in the Marais on May 7th, at 23 rue Charlot, Paris 3rd.
Founded by Béatrice Saint-Laurent, this is a place that aims at making over the codes of the genre. The on-site architecture by Noé Duchaufour-Lawrance breaks with the international white cube standard for art galleries – a model that may suit contemporary artworks but does not cover the needs of a design gallery. Noé has re-shuffled conventional object display codes by proposing a white Corian spiral scanned by sequences, a sculpture extrapolated to architectural scale.
This structure becomes the founding statement in the gallery’s space: an object for displaying other objects. As the designer himself says: ‘It’s a straight-up piece that accentuates interior perspectives, but which can also be as neutral as a white sheet‘.
A shell that is showcase and cocoon, built to enhance the most advanced design projects of today and other rare pieces or exclusive commissions: 20th c. lighting, contemporary and vintage jewellery, fashion creations.
The aim is to effect a radical tearing down of the borders that separate modes of expression and periods, which Béatrice Saint-Laurent hopes will lead to any number of exchanges. Cross-overs, influences, correspondences – a source of transversal readings and discoveries.
The other good news is the collaboration of a greek designer with BSL Gallery! Lito Karakostanoglou, executive designer of “Cabinet des Curiosites”, is showing pieces of her beautiful Peacock collection and many more, in the heart of Paris.
whether wedges, heels or flats, Barbara Bui’s shoe collection of metallic leather with chainmail detailing is as rock or disco as you wish them to be
after the huge success of Kuakuakua’s last event and under the pressure of popular demand, the thousands of e-mails and a suicide prevention, Cloam and myself will play music for you on Saturday 15th of May, at the bar of 6.D.O.G.S.
Bruno Frisoni, Artistic Director of Roger Vivier, has created the high boots worn by actress Cate Blanchett for her role as Maid Marion in “Robin Hood”.
The boots are a result of the collaboration between Cate Blanchett, Bruno Frisoni and Janty Yates, the costume designer.
Bruno Frisoni: “When Cate asked me to create her boots for the movie, I was so excited I started sketching while we were still on the phone. In my mind I could see not only the boots but Cate as Maid Marion herself! Cate is an incredible actress and person. I admire her modernity, which is fragile and strong at the same time. That’s how I picture her: a woman in men’s clothes. I wanted to create some boots that were both feminine and masculine. Sexy: seduction on a horse!”
you got me there mister, isn’t Cate Blanchett THE absolute woman? i’m almost in love with her, i have to admit.
the boots: here we go
