one of my favourite weeks of the year

I love fashion. I'm obsessed with it. And yes, I love shopping, but I hate to buy boring and unoriginal pieces. Whenever I see a different piece of clothing, that stands out among all those "basics", that's the one I'm going to buy.

It's all about creativity. Of course we need to buy basic stuff, but what will basic be without "the one"? The one piece that will make your outfit speak to yourself.

Many may think that fashion week is just another event for people to show off, but I don't think it is. Think about fashion week as an art event. Take the runway venues as art galleries. This is what fashion week is about.

The designers spend a long time brainstorming a concept that will impact people, that is current. The concept has a lot more to say than you think.

Remember all the conflicts happening between Russia and Ukraine? One of my favourite clothing brands in Brazil, Farm Rio, lauched a collection last year called Moskovita, inspired on the Russian culture. 





This week is Men's fashion week. In Paris, Givenchy had a great runway! This year marks Riccardo Tisci 10th year as Creative Director of the brand's women's and RTW collection and his 7th year as menswear designer.

Tisci labeled his 2015 Fall collection was inspired by his "darkness obsessions", so by the colours, the make-up, and the accessories — the pins, and the skirt-like cardigan — all pass this dark feeling.

The red catwalk gives us the sensation that the models are walking on fire.

I put together some of my favourite outfits.






And the make-up was so artistic and beautiful! The make-up spoke to itself. You knew as soon as you looked to the models face, that something dark and mysterious was coming up.





What did you guys think about it? Did Riccardo Tisci show you his "darkness"?
