LANVIN ♥ H&M

"H&M [is] going luxury rather than Lanvin is going public."

Lanvin's collection for H&M will be unveiled late October and will drop on 200 H&M stores on November 23 worldwide.

Lanvin and H&M will be tying up this season to launch their womenswear and menswear.

“H&M approached us to collaborate, and see if we could translate the dream we created at Lanvin to a wider audience, not just a dress for less. I have said in the past that I would never do a mass-market collection, but what intrigued me was the idea of H&M going luxury rather than Lanvin going public. This has been an exceptional exercise, where two companies at opposite poles can work together because we share the same philosophy of bringing joy and beauty to men and women around the world.” Alber Elbaz, artistic director of Lanvin.

Alber Elbaz, Artistic Director of Lanvin

Since joining Lanvin as artistic director in 2001, Alber Elbaz has transformed the Paris-based label into a fashion powerhouse. Elbaz has pioneered some of the biggest trends of the past decade, such as ribbons, pearls and metallic embellishment just to name a few.

Elbaz has a mastery for cut and an instinct for cloth that gives a very personal signature on his work that makes all Lanvin clothes recognizable.

H&M has partnered with Karl Lagerfeld, Comme des Garçons, Sonia Rykiel and Stella McCartney.

There will be a sneak peek of the collection on November 1 through an online film posted on hm.com.

"This has been an exceptional exercise, where two companies at opposite poles can work together because we share the same philosophy of bringing joy and beauty to men and women around the world," Elbaz said in a statement.

im sorry for my unPoetic ways

His brown eyes and jet black hair,
are nothing but a memory.
In the deepest depths of my mind,
there he lay.

Like midnight dreams that lingered,
He was a thought away.
Like a sail boat,
He drifted away.

On a broad daylight,
He was my coffee.
On a deep midnight,
He was my blanket.

I can go on and on,
On how much he meant to me.
But he is just a star,
In the middle of a sky.

We will not make it through,
Coz theres nothing to save.
We will not fly,
Coz theres no reason to get high.

Every memory will be worth keeping,
But every thought leaves my heart bleeding.
Every word is music to my ears,
But every strumm makes my eyes tear.

Your hands secures my way,
Your hug covers my fears,
Your kiss wakes my nightmares,
Your heart makes mine beat.

The gift of memory,
They make me thankful.
The gift of memory,
Made me learn.

Step one and two,
who am I to you?
No next step,
it's leaving me hanging.

I am no superwoman nor darna

I am a writer, its either i'm facing the computer or i have a pen and paper in my hands.
I am the mind in the tactics,
The head in the games,
The poet in a middle of a war,
The thought in problem.

I am no superwoman nor darna.
I'm just a writer.

moreover,

coz we were not supposed to be confused on things that we really want.

I took up Mass Communications because it is something I really want ever since. There were down times when I caught myself saying, "What have I gotten myself into?" Over and Over again I have told myself I am not a quitter, but my body is giving up. Tired of all the crap and all the people she has to face everyday.

gettin over

Fine, recently my latest artist addiction has been DAVID GUETTA. For some reason, his party schemes had took me in some party place I can only define as my new utopia. Im no party girl for now and yet DG is making me dance around like crazy.

I just wanna share my latest favorite song. mkay?

Brain Drain, sorry I cant write anything sensical as of the moment.
So let the looks speak for itself.
Oxygen, fashion!:)

i'll blog about this tomorow, theres something wrong with my net con. bummer.

by Wislawa Szymborska

True love. Is it normal
is it serious, is it practical?
What does the world get from two people
who exist in a world of their own?

Placed on the same pedestal for no good reason,
drawn randomly from millions but convinced
it had to happen this way - in reward for what?
For nothing.
The light descends from nowhere.
Why on these two and not on others?
Doesn't this outrage justice? Yes it does.
Doesn't it disrupt our painstakingly erected principles,
and cast the moral from the peak? Yes on both accounts.

Look at the happy couple.
Couldn't they at least try to hide it,
fake a little depression for their friends' sake?
Listen to them laughing - its an insult.
The language they use - deceptively clear.
And their little celebrations, rituals,
the elaborate mutual routines -
it's obviously a plot behind the human race's back!

It's hard even to guess how far things might go
if people start to follow their example.
What could religion and poetry count on?
What would be remembered? What renounced?
Who'd want to stay within bounds?

True love. Is it really necessary?
Tact and common sense tell us to pass over it in silence,
like a scandal in Life's highest circles.
Perfectly good children are born without its help.
It couldn't populate the planet in a million years,
it comes along so rarely.

Let the people who never find true love
keep saying that there's no such thing.

Their faith will make it easier for them to live and die.

and i thought i was it

you've got me under your spell but spells has their own duration of effectiveness,

mine is wearing off.

im sorry but i cant let myself like you if your the one pushing me away.

it was sudden more than a flash at least

Maybe it was another unfortunate destiny that everyone didn't thought possible,
Not another completed love story.
As tragic as you pet puppy died in your arms and all you can do was cry out to your mom.

It will be the first time I will be writing about this dark art shizle, whatever 'emo' term they might call this.

Death, yes.

with the thunder rolling like crazy, i have forgotten how one flash left me in an awe. More than an after shock or even a maze. (hey sorry for the disorganization of my thoughts)

I actually decided to give up months ago, decided to walk away and just live the life that was supposed to be mine. And yet it seems like the life i ever wanted to live was just too far away that i cannot even see what i have become. going back to death...


I always pictured how I'll die. a red Honda civic 2007 will be rumbling like crazy over me, it might be on some shitty drag race I go to or just a random crossing the street on Shaw boulevard or edsa.
as the red Honda civic 2007 rolls over me, i remember the 19 years of my existence as insignificant as any other beings. Not as great as any God or Politician. Nothing more but always something less.

so from this day forward, i will try to make a mark. (a star) Mark on peoples lives and whatever shit i can do to make 'em remember me.

i'll get back to this blog 0nce i find out how I can do this marking thing.

baring my heart and soul

My friends who have been really close to me, and the friends that had never failed to know whats happening in my life will understand where i am standing right now.

Every single day; i know who i am, i know who I'm supposed to be, who my friends are and who is the person i love.

Now, over and over again I ask myself what is love? then again, i dint know.

He makes me happy, makes me laugh and cry at the same time, makes my knees weak every time he puts his arms around my waist, makes me smile every time he squeezes my hand and makes me feel like i am loved. Its been quite a while since i felt this way honestly.

I just don't understand where i stand now. i cant say i love you because i want you to say it first. I'm afraid that one day, you'll leave.

Leaving my heart and my soul there on the crossroads, unsure of what to feel.

Dilemma? i guess so.

On and On I have been bragging about love and how crazy life is and yet theres more to see than what i have expected.

I didn't know it was really possible to love two people at the same time, I mean romantically. But it will always end up who you love more and who makes you happy. There is no such thing as an equal feeling for two different people.

I saw you today, and as if i have build walls around me for you not to get close to me. As if i wanted time to weight things and figure out what I really feel. Until now I am honestly still hurting so bad every time i see you and knowing everything that had happened. When I am with him, i just feel safe. Emotionally and physically. Its as if we can forget the world and get on with our life.

Dilemma? i guess so.

a letter

for quite a while, i have been trying very hard to supress the feelings I have in my heart. Maybe because I wanted to pretend I dont feel any pain or I just want to forget everything that had happened.

Honestly, it stil hurts and it still breaks my heart that such an unfortunate thing happened to us. But like what I told myself over and over again. We must move forward, it was just another phase we got over with. You told me that as well. But now its something different...

i noticed a change..

Every sunday, i pray for strength to fight. For a chance for us to give this a shot. All I ever ask now is for my heart to heal and to forget all the pain. Wash them away as if it never happened.

the things that happened is done, but we cant take away the fact that it happened.

I wanted to tell you everything

that i feel in my heart

but you know what

from the moment i see you,

i forgot everything..

let us spell Adulthood

There had been too much thats happening for me to remember special events and even people.
When I got home yesterday, I ran and gave my baby brother a tight hug, it seems like I havent seen him for years. I cant even tell if he grew up or i was just too busy to mind.

I miss those days that I have a hold of time and everything in my life, maybe this is really what they call adulthood. Something extremely extravagant and crazy. You see, im currently at work but i chose to write this stupid ass blog to make time pass. My jollibee meal is just digesting and maybe it gave me a little energy to work on something.

Maybe i was trying hard to remain my age as possible as i can be, but 'hello reality!', im in this fast-phased enviroment where the game is called 'pull each other down'; something like not giving other people pass by you or advance a level ahead of you. It is losing for them, though the game is not over yet. The "game" we called back in college was the insane drama we have everytime we had productions but now the game is somewhat serious and many things are layed on the line.

breaks over lovely blog, i must leave you for now. xiao!

stop changing

The queen of reinvention had stike again. If you are my age, you would see her evolution from a little pop star to a global superstar and icon. Many have said that she is recently trying hard to be like Lady Gaga, at some point i totally agree.

you see what i mean?

the battle is on, i think.

friends are always in style

Never would i have found such great people with great dreams.
Never would i have found such silly people that can make me escape through reality.
Never would i have found such open people that makes the doors my heart open for change.
Never would i have found such crazy people that makes me act insane.

They are my P's. Patrick and Pauly. Together we make a great team, a good company.

I miss you p's.

If Chuck and Blair was not meant to be then who's meant for who?

It was a bad idea to watch fucked up series especially the recent episodes of Gossip Girl and the Third Season of One Tree Hill. Its retarded that Love stories are meant to have tragic endings, even those stories that we really love. Its really meant that when Love Stories are perfect, they have to stop to find its way back maybe. Chuck and Blair, Brooke and Lucas, Yang and Burke.

Crazy I say, really crazy. Thats were I am right now, in a middle of a crazy situation. I know I really have to stop but then again, I dont know how to give up. I am a fighter, since then and since today. "Giving up" is not a term I know, I have forgotten that. Maybe because I still want to fight, I see that small chance, that small hope. And from that, I see great joy and dreams.

Gossip Girl said, "They’d hit rock bottom. At least they wouldn’t be lonely in hell. Sounds bad to me… Chuck was shocked. This is not what he wanted it to be like. But was it better than nothing?".

I thought of that for a while, I didnt like who we became, who we are now. You have forgotten to be true to yourself, to your family. I have forgotten to Love myself. Maybe we needed time to realize the person who we became. We needed time, Time to heal and Time to Love again.



But what if absense makes the heart forget?

Fun Liquor

Babe I Love You Bar Night.

we got all access passes from Chili, she's having her internship at Star Cinema, While I have mine at GMA pr.

Good thing this huge poster was outside the Bar because we almost got lost. Almost.


The Crowd was awesome, they were partying like crazt but them most of the people there was from Star Cinema and from ABS-CBN. I think this was only for people who's invited. Guest list?



What are you wearing? I wanted to post this at Lookbook but my boobs were saying hello to the world. Tipsy.

This was one of the stylists of F&H. adorable.

This is the other stylist of F&H, very preppy.:)

people we're waiting for Anne and Sam. They had a grand entrance, using a sports car.

Spell Grand entrance.

Anne was so Pretty though she looked a bit tired. Sam looked like... uhg, SAM!

Anne is the endorser of GSM Blue, so this girls were walkign around handing people free drinks.

Now I know why we were a bit drunk. Coz drinks are free.

So my boyfriend was overwhelmed by this girls in skimpy clothes, So I took a picture of him and the blue girls as a remembrance..

This is Prince with a local celebrity, Nikki Valdez.

This is me (SKY), starstrucked by Gujin, another local celebrity. His hand was caressing my back, and I was like.... Oh man..

Another Local celebrity, Tibo. He's really nice.. He even asked if He can have a copy of the pictures.

This is my Gay friend, Kench. With Yuri, a local reality show celebrity.

And of course, Prince wont let that chance pass by. He also had a picture taken with Yuri.

My friends avhiee and kench. I love this photo.♥

We actually joined a "couples" game. I was ashamed, good thing the light was so bright that I cannot see the people.

My buddy Chili with his newly found "boy". They were partners for the game.

The game was crazy. Yes, we played. And No, we didnt won. haha:D

Fine then,were vain.

yes, were vain.

and again, were one Vain couple.

so there, bye bye.. we headed out.:)

It was a cool, fun and alcoholic night.

We trip and fall

WE TRIP THEN WE FALL

__________________________

The irony, Life is hard. It was another unusual day, I sat down in front of this computer like I never written ever before. No, I have written a few pieces before, or when the occasion calls for it.

As usual, thoughts lingered my mind but there was a little metal distortion thats happening. Gawd, its hard to do all things needed with this head distraction. Fixing was as crazy as I thought. The bumpy ride had given me the headache and even the heart ache but I still trieed to give a smile and nod that everything is Okay. That is what I wanted to do. I wanted to be Okay, I know it takes time.

I wouldnt say that falling was the best or the worse but I shouldnt have given myself a chance to trip because I fall deeply in hole that I cannot see the light on the opening. Fat Chance, i said. It was a chance I am in. The chance to fall and the chance to fall even deeper. Yes, I am selfish. Selfish for falling, I have been selfish to myself.

Thoughts are all on the mind, I cannot stop them. Nor forget them, They happen and we should get over it.

no strong storm can ruin the sky

The past few days was the most difficult days I have to live by but I know someday and some time there will be another day that will be filled with fun and laughter covering the pain and bruises that Love had caused me.

Maybe Love is something no one will ever understand, how will we balance love for ourself and love for someone else? When you know to yourself that you have given your all.

The past few days has been crazy, I really dont know how to handle everything but I know I'll get by. The friends I have are awesome, I cannot say how proud I am in having this people by my side on the saddest and hardest phase of my life. Without this people I could have given up.

I am SKY and I know it seems absurd to call me that but it simply means that I see the best in everyone and everything. I always think that after every storm will be a brighter day. There will be a rainbow. Though there are strong storms that pass my way, I will never be ruined nor be defeated because I know there are little stars looking after me. And yes, those stars are you guys. My friends.

I am the SKY and I cannot survive without my sun. Yes, he is my sun. He brings light to every gloomy day. He brings happines to the world. Without him there will be no rainbows. Without the storm there will be no rainbows.

Lets just put it this way, there may be storms today but there will be rainbows tommorow. Something worth looking forward to.

inspire

Yes, I have seen sad love stories. I've seen love stories die and be forgotten. I got really scared that the same thing will happen to me. Many of you may know the sad story, its crazy really. Because I am willing to fight though I will be the only one who will do that. I have said to a friend, "fighting for love is a two way street, and i will be fighting two times harder and two times wiser because I really really want to fix this." It was a martyr moment for me. I wanted to tell myself stop but I know my heart will be breaking much more if I will not even try to fight. I mean, it was another slip in the relationship. It was a phase, we'll get through it. I wrote this blog because I actually dont know where to place myself right now, I am still waiting and trying. I pity myself for blaming all the bad things that had happened, when I know there was nothing that I did wrong. The past three years was the best years of my life and I will not ever change the fact that I am in love with someone who grew with me, cried with me, laughed with me, got scared with me and most of all.. fell in love with me. I tried so hard to make this relationship work, not just because of the feelings but because I wanted people to believe in Love that we had made and the love that we faught for. Prince and I saw relationships fell apart and we told ourselves that we will never let that happen to us. Now we are fighting, Fighting through all the pain and the hardships that life had given us. I will give up everything just for us to survive. I will do anything just to buy us hope for a successful love story. Nothing dies, Nothing changes. The love on the start just continues, grows and grow fonder.

It is a crazy roller coaster, another ride that will soon finish. But we can always ride again.

Pls pray for us, pls hope that this love will survive the test of life.

i will spend all the money in the world

Its really hard to let go, that's for sure.I cant believe how people love with all their hearts and ends up broken.

Maybe Love is something I don't understand. Something we will never be a master of but it was always a choice. Choice of Love, Fight and Giving up.

I will spend all the money in the world, just to give this relationship a chance. A chance of surviving and a chance of staying.

This is where HOPE comes to DIE

BLOGGER IN THE CITY

FASHION.ART.MEDIA.

___________________________________________________________________

THIS IS WHERE HOPE COMES TO DIE

I'm going back to being artsy, I left that street a long time ago. Threw my 7 exhibits away and moved on. Art was really nice but it was a two way street where the art and the artist must be in direct harmony. And I just realized I love art but there is more that I love to do.

anyways...

We went to this exhibit at LRI, together with my two P's:

PAUL JATAYNA

PATRICK PADILLA

and Two newly found friends from Lookbook..

KARL LEUTERIO

yes, the person I made a blog about.

and

MIKE MAGALLANES

and they were my company. They were perfect.

Fun and Fab.

so the art was unique. the thought of the exhibit was nice, but I was not used to this kind of art. I was made to appreciate the surreal and the classic ones. This is maybe because my mom is an artist/animator and almost all the members of my moms family are artists.

This are some of the works on the exhibit.

This is a shrine like photo, look closely at the details in the Picture. There are saints and holy things surrounding the naked girl.

this looked like a LEE ad but with the glow in the dark giant rosary and insect, it looked like a window display.


This are two of the four portrait like works on the exhibit.
I think the medium is charcoal.


This is what Patrick and Pauly liked,
A sort of Marilyn Manson-like photo with Paint drippings on top.




This is another Painting Patrick loved, the print on the side was very nice. I thought it was louie but Patrick said it was ______. idk.


This was a little disturbing, not. This was placed above..

...above this Robot made out of Boxes.
They were painted and was very much colorful.


And this was the works I liked.........

This is like a kid and...


...and this is like the adult version.

I liked the realism of the painting. Now this is a portrait.
There is a distinction among the other works.

Another is.....

...AJ's work. I think it will speak for itself.
But for the past 19 years of my life seeing paintings, there is a certain thing in this painting that I loved. The emotion and again, the realism. There is a meaning and an inspiration. Not just a work made to present and to be seen but a work to be remembered.


In the exhibit itself, I liked the photos scattered on the tables. You are free to look at it or even take them home. The photos were amazing; i mean on all aspects. The theme, lighting and the story behind each photograph. One photo even got a "fierce" comment from my friends.

This was the photos on our table.

Also, i loved the fact that when we went inside the exhibit, it was dark and you will be given a light bulb to place anywhere or in front of the work that you liked.

I placed mine near the door but I ended up bringing home one light bulb, as a remembrance perhaps?

The best part of the day was bonding with this 4 great people...

Thats MIKE on the left, me right there in the middle and KARL on the right.

Me and Karl made chika, He's super nice.

I cant forget PATs "couture/contortionist" dance steps.
I super duper miss this person.


And PAULY, i love for taking me to the exhibit.

and I got to meet...

AJ the artist.




.and overall.
It was a lively and lovely event.

ciao!

and I get to take home my Light bulb.
