Veliki je pritisak raditi za veliko ime. Morate u obzir uzeti istoriju, ali i doneti nešto novo, svoje. Nedavno smo svi skinuli kapu Raf Simonsovoj pročišćenoj viziji Diora, ali kada neko kaže uspešan brak dizajnera i dizajnerske kuće, prvo ime koje mi pada na pamet sigurno je - Karl Lagerfeld. I taman kada pomislimo da je nemoguće i dalje inovativno se poigravati sa klasičnim Chanel elementima, poput niske bisera i prepoznatljivog žaketa, Karl je tu da nas iznenadi i ubedi u suprotno! Za ovo proleće/leto inspirisao se šumom mora i posuo bisere svuda po svojim Chanel sirenama! 

Nisam baš Chanel sirena, ali čim sam videla, znala sam da moram da probam. Lepo rastavite bisernu narukvicu/ogrlicu, jednu od onih koje vam i ovako skupljaju prašinu, a onda sve to pažljivo prilepite na sebe lateks lepkom za trepavice. Nadam se da vam se dopada moj najnoviji DIY poduhvat!

It's never been easy working for the big ones. Of course, you have to take history into account, but also bring something fresh and new. Not so long ago we have all made a bow in front of Raf Simons' purified vision of Dior, but when someone mentions a happy marriage between designer and a brand, the first name that comes into my mind is definitely - Karl Lagerfeld. And just when we all thought it's impossible to do anything else creative with those classic Chanel elements, such as pearls and signature jackets, Karl is there to prove us wrong, from season to season, from collection to collection. For this spring/summer, he sought inspiration from blue depths of the sea and scattered pearls all over his Chanel mermaids!

Not that I'm a Chanel siren, but as soon as I saw it, I knew I had to try. All you need is an old pearl necklace/bracelet and a bit of latex glue for eyelashes. Hope you like my newest DIYventure!

Prvo da napravimo jasnu razliku - posao je nešto što mi oduzima osam sati dnevno, a rad je ono što ispunjava preostale. Pa još kada je sa prijateljima, plus jednom od njih roditelji prave odličnu domaću jabukovaču, mešanje rada i zadovoljstva je neizbežno. Ideja na ideju, jabuka na jabuku, i koncept prošlogodišnje kampanje za Elektranu polako se kristalisao - odećom prikazati zajedničku notu koja povezuje izvođače te večeri. Peđa, Deja & Co. pozvali su me da sa njima sastavim ove modne rečenice, a ja sam se dooooobro zabavila! Evo malo behind the scenes materijala...

First of all, I need to make a distinction - day job is something that takes 8 hours a day from me, and work what fills the rest of it. And when you get to do it with friends, especially if one of them is in a possession of home-made calvados, mixing work with pleasure is inevitable. Idea after idea, apple after apple, and the concept of the last year's Elektrana was getting clearer - use clothes to express the overall feel to each night at Elektrana stage at Exit festival. Peđa, Deja & Co. invited me to work+play with them, and I had looooots of fun! Here's a little peek behind the scenes...

A evo i kako je Elektrana knjižica izgledala na kraju...

Za ovu godinu pripremili smo vam nesto (daleko) neozbiljnije, ali o tome u sledećem postu :) Vidimo se na Elektrani!

Here's what Elektrana booklet looked in the end...

For this year's campaign, we've prepared something (far) less serious, but more in the upcoming post :) See you at Elektrana stage at Exit festival!

Naravno, bez creepersica nije moglo da prođe. Vadiću se na zaljubljenost, izgubila sam svaki kriterijum i idu mi uz sve. Mada, kada bolje razmislim, u stvari mi se dopada kako ovoj mala damica kombinaciji daju neki edgy šmek.

Lately, no post is complete without a little help of creepers. In my defense, I would just say - love is blind. And although I've lost any criteria and would wear them with anything, I actually like the edgy side they give this, otherwise ladylike, combo.

Which one is your favorite?
