Gucci on your Iphone!

Seems like Gucci's going tech-y.

Starting today you can download the Gucci fashion application on the App Store. It’s not your usual fashion app—in fact, Frida Giannini worked directly with Mark Ronson to create several of the app’s coolest features like Gucci Beats (where you can mix your own music tracks and share with friends) and personal playlists by Frida and Mark.

The App also has a music stream channel, the Gucci Little Black Book city guide, along with all the latest fashion shows, look books and news from Gucci.

Sounds fun. I suggest they do a Frida Gianini boyfriend jacket inspired mobile casing as well. In different colors. That would sell like hotcake, I'm sure.

Too bad I use a Blackberry. For details, check out:

Besos!

And now, the good news: Cristiano Ronaldo for Armani Underwear

This might be a little late news but my virtual girlfriend, Jenia Molnar from the NY press office of Armani sent me some juicy goss a couple of weeks ago that almost made me choke on my Sangria---Cristiano Ronaldo to be the next bulge face of Armani underwear and Armani jeans !

We'll see the Real Madrid player's best bits in Armani's Spring/Summer 2010 campaign in the tradition of the most tasteful and provocative ads for the brand by the one and only David Beckham.

I say Armani did the best decision to chose Cristiano after David. Afterall, an excellent brand like Armani deserves nothing but an excellent image to represent them.

What happens now to Mr. Beckham? Well, according to my favorite gossip magazine, HOT Marbella (lol), Mr. Beckham is honing his voice, making it sound deeper for future cinematic and television projects. He knows that he is perfect in everything aside from that mickey mouse voice so he is taking voice lessons / coachings to develop a a husky baritone sound.

So, move over David. Here comes Cristiano to make a lady's day. We expect giant billboards, tv spot, and lots and lots of magazine spread with the Portugese hunk...errr..spreading his legs.

We will all be waiting, right chicas?

Speaking of waiting. Jenia girlfriend...I'm still waiting for my armani undie dahlin´. black. size m. Lol!!!

Gosh...it's hard playing Perez Hilton for a blog post. I need to calm down.

Besos!

Hot Partayyyyyy!

Look who's having a ball!

Hot Marbella will hold it's first ever Hot party this Friday, 16th of October in TIBU, Marbella. Doors will open at 10pm and everybody is invited to come and celebrate with us as long as you enter your details at http://www.hotmagazine.es/

Dress code: Pink and/or Black.

I know , I know, don´t blame me. I didn´t choose the color scheme. If It were upon me, I would have asked everyone to come with nothing but a hat so pink and black is definitely way better than my judgement.

The gorgeous Miss J. will appear in a very nice ensemble courtesy of a very generous high street brand but details of that to follow and of course, a blow by blow account of the party will be chronicled in this site.

What will happen? I have no idea but I am sure it will be a blast as the most interesting (and beautiful) people will be present and will also be the first meet and greet party for the magazine´s facebook members.

Speaking of Facebook. You know what? I think the idea of actually meeting people you don´t know personally but you think you know through their FB status is quite surreal, isn´t it?

Facebook has opened us all in this voyeuristic world (at it´s best) which makes our lives, how uninteresting it may be, an open book for everyone to read. People begin to secretely follow someone else´s life without the other person knowing it. We become invisible , harmless stalkers in a way; peeking through the keyholes of the lives of the others.

Hmmm...

Anyway, back to the party, I am excited to meet a certain member of the page. I know what he likes for breakfast, I know where he spent his last holiday, and I even know his brand of perfume. Now, putting all these info to use, I think I could end the night with a smile on my face.

NOT.

I will let my hair down and catch up with friends I haven´t seen for ages! Believe it or not, I haven´t been out for a proper nightout since....exactly. So I guess it´s about time to put on those dancing shoes again.

And oh, I hope the Holga camera that I bought online arrives on time. I tracked it today on DHL´s site and it´s already in Malaga port so I am expecting it to be on my doorstep tomorrow.I have been salivating long enough for this crazy, cheap camera which takes kick ass images and I finally took the courage to whipped out my now cobweb-coated credit card for a little bit of indulgence and "forced economy" as a friend once told me(whatever that means).

I still don´t know how to use the camera or how to upload the images online (it is not digital) but what the heck; I am having it and I am just pleased.

So, in case you are on the Costa del Sol and wanna have a good time this Friday, log on to http://www.hotmagazine.es/ to be in the guest list of the hottest party this autumn!

See you there, bitches!

Besos.

Amaya Arzuaga,Served Chilled.

My favorite Spanish designer, Amaya Arzuaga must have been listening to a lot of chillout music lately. Instead of jumping into the whole back-to-the-80's bandwagon, she preferred to have her designs chilled, cooled and calmed to perfection for the Cibeles Fashion Week.

Inspired by natural evolution--this time a caterpillar to a butterfly, Amaya brought back serenity to the chaos of the fashion week by bringing earth colors, nude shades and gray with a little bit of pale pink, as if sunkissed.

To say that some lazy Ibiza ambient tunes or a laid-back Formentera weekend getaway did some magic to Amaya does not mean her designs were utterly lackluster. On the contrary, mother nature has given her the most surprising array of elements which she smartly incorporated on the clothes and as expected, it worked. Shapes and volumes of conch, mushrooms, wind and the ubiquitous flower plus the use of some serious lightweight tulle formed into layers of labyrinth (which looked like butterflies with their wings flapping in full speed) gave a hint of fairy tale to the collection.

The meditation has worked well Amaya. Now you can chill and relax on your laurels.

Besos!

Spain Calling! Updates of the Spanish fashion Week.

I should really get a map of Spain and learn geography 101. Learn and travel. Too many places to go, I should be drafting a travel plan soon.

First stop, Pontevedra where the amazingly eccentric designer (Agatha Ruiz, meet you future match) Amai, Rodriguez is from.

Amai shocked Pasarela Cibeles with her collection based on parties and nightouts of a materialistic youth who want to shy away from reality.

Original, extravagant and outrageous, the collection was shown in three parts--before , during and after the party. Ms. Rodriguez received the L'oreal Paris Prize for best collection this year.

The pieces were wild, colorful with use of masks, hats of different shapes and sizes. More like a mixture of the Venice carnival meets Disneyland meets Willy Wonker and The Chocolate Factory.

Amai Rodriguez was born in Poio Pontevedra in 1985 and had her catwalk debut last year.

Pontevedra is based in Galicia which is famous for its superb seafood. Now they can add "fashion" to its list.

Face/Off: Michelle Williams/Tavi

Michelle Wiliiams Vogue October 2009 cover/Tavi of style Rookie

Is it just me or does Michelle Williams look like a grown up version of Tavi of Style Rookie?

Hmm...it's the eyes and the hair and I'm loving both of them.

Some Words of Wisdom by Uncle karl

I have been following Karl Lagerfeld's Tweets and loving his dramatic quotations each day.

Here are some of my favorites:

"The imagination can transform all sorts of personal insanity into elements of self-invention, and you need to make use of this."

"I try not to be sentimental and obsessive about possessions. I love collecting, but I hate owning."

"Guilty feelings about clothes are totally unnecessary. A lot of people earn their living by making clothes, so you should never feel bad."

"Logos and branding are so important. In a big part of the world, people cannot read French or English--but are great in remembering signs."

"I think I'm going to have a dinner party where no one speaks. I'll give all my guests pens and pads instead of the usual dinner conversation"

"I have no scene. I go everywhere. I adapt."

"On this day each year, I soak the previous year's calendar in my mother's favorite perfume and then set it ablaze. Here's to a fresh start"

and lastly...

"Florals are for middle-aged women with weight problems."


Uncle Karl, I would be waiting for book version of your quotations if you ever decide to do one. All covered in black satin Chanel goodness, I hope.
