Love me or not...

Hi everyone! It’s Valentine’s Day!! Some of you feels good about it, other’s don’t…I was wondering about this “day” because today at work some of my colleague were excited what their partners would do for them, but the boys were exhausted and frustrated. I thought about this subject. 

After a big brainstorming with my friend at Style Mile we decided to do a Pro romantic look and a sarcastic anti valentine personality. 

The design is based on the personality. The romantic look pictures the girl who always dreams about the perfect man how may or not come… The design was inspired from the Renaissance, soft simple line. I used velvet with golden cord. In terms of makeup, we pictured the Pro girl wearing natural makeup, in neutral colors and a matching lipstick. She is always ready for a romantic date. 

The anti-valentine is a simple rock look. The girl who’s always sarcastic, realistic and always gets what she wants. The inspiration for this look is from the hipster’s mania. Her makeup was a blend of heavy lined eyes and a lipstick in the color of the dress. As you may see from the pictures, her expressive face was used to describe the anti feeling, meaning that romance is not important, but having fun yes. 

On this photo shoot we worked with a new industrial designer Sanko Gyatsa. This amazing note book was made by him. You can check his work here.

Glam Rock Look

Hi everyone! There's this knotting technique I wanted to try for this week, to achieve a nice look of the glam rock style. I used gray and black velvet for it, but the important part is the technique itself. First I sew the dress. Then, I watered the fabric a bit and made a knot out of this whole dress and kept it like that for 12 hours to dry. Before the photo shoot I released the knot and got this nice texture on the material. But when you do this, be careful to apply the appropriate amount of water, because if it’s not wet, then, when you release it, it won’t have the texture, but if it’s too wet, the material won’t dry out and it will look ugly. This operation is really delicate, but it's worth trying. 

The velvet is an expensive looking material but using this technique it looks more cheap and casual. If you want to apply something on the dress (studs, chain, etc.) you should do afterward, because these sharp or hard pieces will destroy your material. 

Other designers use this same technique with woven material, and use paint instead of water., achieving outstanding effects, but I tried to keep it simple. 

Our make up artist's opinion: „This week’s look was somewhat wanted to be an inspiration for the makeup trends materials under way. More to come in a future post. The look for this week wants to be an office look or, assorted with a red lip, for a night out or a party. We chose black eye pencil and black eyeliner with accentuated flicks. If you decide to use the look for a daylight event, match it with a nude lip. If you want to go at a party, but don’t have enough time to change your dress, just put a red, preferably intense, lip color and the look will be competed and sophisticated. It also looks nice to add some red glitter to intensify the effect.”

Inspired by Burda

Hi everyone! It`s Monday which means the Style Mile crew made you a new look for this week. The inspiration for this look was Burda Style :D. The spring is on the way and we thought about nice pastel colors and irregular forms. The dress which I choose to redesign it has a nice “river” form. The idea of this look is the simplicity of forms and causality of the design. 

For this photo shoot we choose Muse café from our city (Targu Mures) because it has a nice antic look and a worm charming feeling. We really recommend it if you are coming in this town. 

Gina`s idea about the look: After seeing the dress and proposed accessories, my thought went to a 60’s-inspired makeup, matching the miniskirt and the gogo boots. At that time, the focus was on lined eyes, false eye lashes and bold lips. The look made me look back at old family photos, with my mum wearing miniskirts and boots and having fun. For this look, we went back in time and proposed a makeup with heavy eye liner and accentuated pink-based lipstick. The hair was simply put together in a knot, without any special preparations.

Little Black Dress

Hi everyone! The spring/summer season arrived in the fashion industry as many designers have
already realized their collections. This was a reason for me to update my wardrobe when I realized I
don’t have a “little black dress”.

I wanted something special feminine with a soft line and rough edge on the solder. When I started
sketching it came to me, the whole look…A woman with a curved shape, long neckline and a
dramatic look on the face.

I started talking with the team and we decided to go to the +Castel Haller for inspiration. If you
haven’t visited the +Castel Haller until now, we strongly recommend you to visit it. Dating from the
15th century, and known for its luxury, the castle has been recently rehabilitated and decorated
following its initial interior design. After visiting it, the medieval air made us think about fairy tales,
princesses and princes, intrigues and masked balls. And because we were preparing one of our
weekly looks, we brainstormed and prepared a medieval and romantic party look.

The dress is a modern little black dress every girl should have in her closet for special events. It is
always elegant and is easy to accessorize or match with a minimalistic makeup for example of black
liner and red lipstick. For this specific dress, we did a romantic curly hair and a mask-like makeup as
if our graceful princess was preparing for an evening ball. The makeup has a shimmer blue smoky
eyes, white crystals glued on a shadowed side and, of course, the mandatory red lipstick. From the
medieval times, we kept the pale skin and the rosy cheeks. We accessorized the dress with a black
flower from the same tulle material as the dress, black shoes and black and silver clutch.

Just like in the 60’s

Hi everyone! It’s finally Monday which means we have the look for this week! The first weekly look of 2013!

The inspiration for this look was the 60’s. These 1961 Classic Teen Junior Cocktail Dresses were the starting points of my designs.

I wanted to create both an evening and a day look at the same time. If you put on a jacket and a nice simple high heel, you can wear it throughout the day at the office. After getting over with the daily job all you have to do is put on some accessories (mostly silver in this case), take off the laser and feel free to go out with your friends to dinner. It’s going to look nice on you, because it's not too glamorous yet still feminine.

We chose Haller Castel for the photo shoot. That place blows my mind. The furnishing is spectacular, with the old aspect of the castle. The garden looks like it would be from 19th century or older, with a beautiful metal cupola and benches. It’s a really romantic place. If you want to know more about the place click here.

The Haller Castle crest

I think this velvet dress is going really nice with the concept of the castle.

For this look our makeup artist Gina Bordas chose this nice smoky eye with a little red on the cheek. I think this color matches perfectly with this blue green eye.

We have a new crew member a young hair stylist. She’s new in the industry. Her name is Szidonia Akacos. She made this ruffled loop of hair, making the face more opened, meanwhile the back and shoulder of the dress is nicely shown.

On this photo shoot I worked with two photographers Levente Engel and Andras Bandi, I hope you enjoyed it. You can check the crew members' work separately by clicking on their name.
