Nuno Baltazar's creations make women feel stylish and attractive but always with a lot of class. The collection is the interpretation of Nuno Baltazar on one of the icons in sacred music - Stabat Mater. There were several composers who have studied this subject, with particular emphasis on the Sabat Mater Dolorosa by Pergolesi and Vivaldi Stabat Mater Speciosa and Liszt. Spectra in opposite talk about the presence of the mother of Christ at the time of his birth and his death. The opposition between these two moments is reflected in the proposals easy wear, and purified natural contrast to most silhouettes with lush colors and volumes exaltation of femininity. The different representations of the mother of Christ in the sacred art throughout the ages are the starting point for a story of contrasts.

The cardigan emblazoned with stars, this winter's collection of Saint Laurent Paris is having a great sales success. One factor that may have contributed to this result was that Katie Holmes was photographed wearing the cardigan designed by Hedi Slimane.
We all know that the work of Hedi Slimane as creative director of Saint Laurent, receive a lot of criticism. Starting whit the change of the name, from Yves Saint Laurent to Saint Laurent Paris, the collections follow the same way, and some people think and say that Slimane is destroying a brand, image and legacy of its founder. He did not give much attention and followed the concept and the way he had in mind. So far so good, but now he severed relations with Colette, who is just one of the most important fashion stores of the world. This can be dangerous, because if you do not have your creations in the best stores and distributors, something is wrong. I'm a big fan of Slimane, since the days in Dior and I love him as a photographer, but I am afraid that he loses touch with reality because you are managing a business that deserves respect.
