The Mondrianism in Fashion Business

 Piet Mondrian. (1872-1944) A Dutch artist who made the revolution of  Modern Art. An Art of conceptional thinking I say. As a painter he seems to me a genious. His revolution started in 1922 when he did this artwork (i couldnt say just a painting! too simple). This artwork became a symbol ! In 1933 it was also a start of modern symbolism (and entertainment) in some aspect. You've probably never heard of Piet Mondrian's name but you have definitely seen this artwork before.

1922

After this artwork, people didn't just discover the world of Modern Art but they started using in an entertaining manner in 1920s! And people are still using it in interior design and most importantly in FASHION DESIGN!

 YSL spring/summer collection 1996. The contrast of 3 primary colours and the black lines are giving a super attractive look and a great amount of energy.  There couldn't even be any stronger inspiration than that.

Here we go starting to play with the colours and conrast in order to have a variety and find different types of attraction through Mondrianism. Oh man

 From my perspective, this is not a "ready-to-wear" dress, this is wearing an artwork. This is how you develop a business for an artist like Piet Mondrian. A revelutionist of Modern Art.

Mondrianism effect on shoe industry, I can see myself changing my walk while on these platforms..I can see how the contrast of colours can change my direction.

  My analysis of Mondrian's worldwide famous artwork was that : He chose three very different colours, and I relate those colors to different types of human psychology, they are all very different, people are very different, people are associated with different things but there are always these black lines that makes come up together, maybe its the way how we are all born the same way..or maybe something else..I think even in 1922 people were really concerned about different psychologies and different characters, well I want to believe that they had other interests rather than gaining more land and attacking people.

All in all, Thank You Piet !

Countdown to Istanbul Fashion Week'11

Istanbul Fashion Week 2011. It is going to happen for the third time in this city of Istanbul. I remember last year in February, when it was gonna happen for the 1st time,the tuskish fashion society was all stressed out ..megan ryan visiting, roberto cavalli opening the shows, it was sensational. I managed to get an invitation from a designer and so I visited Hakan Yildirim for Koton fashion show. It was a very different collection, I'd say "couture" fit for "pret-a-porter".  Ofc, its hard to describe, because I was too much excited:) That atmosphere is just where I want to spend my whole life.
Anyway, here's the calendar of the fashion shows, just in case if you need ;)

Thanks to a very special friend of mine, dear D.Ö., Im gonna go to Simay Bulbul fashion show february the 4th. cant wait !!

A Bag, a Satchel Bag.

  girls girls girls!!! Okay, you have probably noticed these bags in your mother's wardrobe or in her high school photographs. Well, these bags have hit the season of fall-winter2010/2011 ! and it will definitely stay for a while. These bags are super functional, practical, comfortable, stylish and fashionable! It looks very very nice and attractive.
  When they say "in 20 years...in future..the next two seasons..super new...futurism.." Well, no matter what we say its not really working. Look even one of the freshest trend is the bags kept from 1960s and on. Basically your grandma's closet has the freshest trends. It is true to some extent, oh yeah  it is :)) Check out some of these bags..they look really "full of spirit:..the word is quality.

Jacqueline Kennedy in 1960s

Alexa Chung today 

These satchel bags are from Topshop winter collection

Therefore my point is that sometimes we need to look in the past to be able to see the future.

p.s. Im predicting, in summer season the colorful satchel bags will be super popular, see the reports from fashion weeks.

Artistic spots from Barcelona "muy bien"

 Bamos! Wow, its been ages since my last post. Blame it all on IB, seriously
Anyway, this is one of the most important things I wanted to share with you guys. I visited Barcelona in November,2010 ( as well as catching up with DsQuared Designers;) and that city really really impressed me man!!! Its full of Art, I've traveled a lot but I've never felt this much of Art Spirit, starting from Picasso and Dali and ending up with Gaudi's mad architecture!!! Its kinda myrical.

       This is only "some" of the Gaudi's artwork. any comments?!                               

      
 You walk through the tight streets of Barcelona and you turn right to the main avenue and then some random artworks jump out. As seen below. The reaction is " are you f***** kidding me?! "

                                                                  Modern Art is the word.

          This bycles is one of my favourite shots. Make it black and white
          and it'll become a vintage photograph. Even the bycles are very "nostalgic" I'd say

     Sir Picasso's museum, the whole place is like under the impression of Picasso's brainstorming.
             

So go book your flights and visit Barca as soon as possible!
cheers

A New Year gift for a friend :)

 Wow, its been a long time since the last time I made something. I remembered how I missed it so much. The reason I took the picture on the backgrounf of Eiffel/Paris is that its always full of nice memories that you'll never forget, so I want my friend Gunay Abdullayeva to always remember me and remember nice memories when she wear this t-shirt. Its very basic but a friend of mine said that the little detail and the red fabric supports it to look attractive enough.
 Hope you like it.
Cheers

Since Im a layer person I'd always combine it with denim or such

Major McQueen Rings

 Do you like rings? I SIMPLY LOVE THEM. The larger it is, the better it is . Here are the Mcqueen rings, first they became popular as they were used on clutch bags about 3 seasons ago, and then they became even more practical.  You know what I believe? We use our hands in most of the things, imagine a life if you didn't have your hands.. what would you do, maan seriously?! These rings give your hands some confidence and stregth, I truly believe that.

Well, I've already started making money to buy one set of these rings. Cheers

2010/2011 Leather Dress Trend

 First of all, when we say leather " it doesn't have to be a real leather !!!" seriously :) Me,personally, am against real fur and leather ( no matter how "impressing" is that ).
 Anyway, so what i noticed that, as the fabric changes then the whole dress changes its look, although it is the same design. There you go, check out how confident you can look in leather.I actually really like how it looks.
* But dont forget: its sweating and warm-keeping, just for your info :)

                                                             This is my favourite one , cute and strong

                                                    Mostly, its better not to have much accesorie or a fancy hair.

                                         Leather dresses are very simple but attractive enough

                                                    Rihanna's leather dress reminds me a black plastic bag

                                                   Try to look at the dress, not at Blake Lively :))

Fashion& Art of Marketing/Advertisment

                                                                    Louis Vuitton. 2006
When you are turning pages of  Vogue, I dare you to just turn it without looking at it at least for 5 seconds. Noo, this is not just LV lookbook page or anything. Its how LV is smart "enough" to show the precious message that is globally discussed and thought. Yes. Here, Fashion is associated with two things, from my perspective : Peace and Nature (or Naturalism). How people are close to animals, that amazing relationship. It just makes us get away from busy cities.. and feel the smell of grass and take care of ourselves and our friends in nature..Naturalism- a seldom thing in 21st century.

21.11.10 DsQuared Designers and Me catching up in Barcelona.

I cant believe I'm posting this photo right now because when I took this I posted it on facebook and on twitter right away :D  This picture was taken November 21st, 2010 at about 6 pm. That was the moment when I would dare to do anything. What happened was, me and my mom walking through this famous barcelona avenue, (mom is looking through the same souvenirs for the 10th time) and while walking I saw Dean and Dan and some spanish hot young gyde together with them. Well, not surprisingly I didnt notice them for the first time, so they passed and then I realized ( I was like : holy s*** :D) it was them, but I kinda didnt believe what i saw. So I followed them and came close to them , I said : sorry, HI, are you GUYS those...?? And they were like : hahah yeah yeah we are. I said : HI, I'm Semra!! Im a fan of you , FOR REAL (attention to the ''street lang'' i use :), so I said Do you mind if we..? and they said : yeah yeah sure.
It was priceless !

the Londoners

Firstly, Im sorry guys I couldnt post anything for a long time, its because of  school !!
I want to say a few things about london street fashion ( they say: its the people that makes the city/country- exactly!) In August when I've been to London, I felt like I was at behind the scenes of some fashion shoot , you know like they show on Fashion Tv ( We love Fashion TV ). Anyway, so these are some photos I took.

                                   Okay, these 3 people were probably thinking they were on Red Carpet or something, because when I took their photo, they posed for the second time. Its just unbelievabla en super inspiring how iconic people are, and its not "only" about the look ! I mean I could write a book about every person I saw cause they seemed like "unique personality" to me. omg

                                           You guys probably would think this is a shop window of some posh boutique,
not really. This was a random corner shop on Oxford St., but it was a lucky corner shop cuz they had an amazing window designer, maybe? Dont you feel like in Sex&City ?! 

                                                       The photo talks itself, seriously. How strong is the image

                                                              Another shop window, very easy-made but very strong and identical

                                                     Only One thing came to my mind when I saw this window: " The expression of feminie desire to a higher social existence through high heels and all other possible shit" -EASY

                                                           This was an amazing inspiration for me to write a history essay.

So basically, all I would say about London, its artistic, trendy, very fresh, iconic, identical, all exclusive.
I wish I could fit the whole London in my Art Book.
