BARBIE EN TOURNEE AUX PHILIPPINES

Bonjour,

Lu sur la toile ce jour :

Barbie poursuit sa tournée des créateurs aux Philippines
Après les Etats-Unis, Barbie continue sa tournée mondiale des créateurs, avec un passage aux Philippines où 41 des meilleurs designer du pays, dont Pitoy Moreno, ont confectionné 200 habits pour une collection Ballet Barbie qui s'est vendue aux enchères hier, jour de la Saint-Patrick, au bénéfice des étudiantes et étudiants du Ballet Philippines.

Le créateur de bijoux le plus en vue des Philippines, Hans Brumann, s'est également senti inspiré pour dessiner des parures spéciales à une vingtaine de Barbies pour une "Royal collection" en or blanc 8 carats et perles keishi Tahiti, le tout assorti de 65 brilliants de 1,07 carat d'une valeur de 3200$.

Pour son 40e anniversaire, Barbie avait déjà reçu une parure de 160 diamants de De Beers, d'une valeur de 85'000$.

La vente de Manille a rapporté près de 25'000 euros (1,5 million de pesos) dont près de la moitié rien qu'avec les 20 Barbies de Hans Brumann.

Un vrai style, qui ne ressemble pas aux styles connus, BRAVO, belle performance

Merci pour ces infos dame Ghis, on va trouver, les belles en détails, j'me mets en recherche aussi......

James Reyes’ Black Swan Barbies
Thursday, February 18th, 2010
James Reyes is also among the 40 or so designers participating in the fundraiser for Ballet Philippines, which is being spearheaded by Margie Moran-Floirendo. I asked James to tell me about his inspiration for this collection and here is what he told me:


"Still finishing the beadwork on this one," commented James.


“My inspiration for my Barbie collection is the black swan from Swan Lake. Also, I’ve been obsessed over Madame Slim and how she constructs clothes.”


"Still adding a few more sparkles," was his caption for this dress.


“And while doing this collection, I was listening to Smashing Pumpkins,” he added. ” So the entire collection took on a dark, glam-rock, villainess theme.”


I love the feathered headdress. It feels like a Russian Ushanka hat, lending it a cold, wintry feeling.



“I used different types of black fabric–from taffeta to duchess satin,” he goes on to describe.


The feather overskirt reminds me of a tutu. Wouldn't it be so wonderful to watch Swan Lake and see our ballerinas wearing designer tutus?



“I embellished the clothes with feathers and beads. I also played around with volume, taking inspiration from the graceful shape of the swan.”


Look at this glorious cape! Could it be inspired by that extensive bridal train at the Slim's exhibit? I love that he created a look with pants. She would look beautiful on my bookshelf.


“Overall, it’s the dark side of Barbie! Haha!”

I think this Odile looks a lot like Russian royalty. I love seeing Barbie look austere, in clothes far removed from her usual bubblegum pop get-ups.

Cary Santiago’s Laser-Cut Gowns on Barbie
Wednesday, February 24th, 2010
I think it’s pretty much a general consensus that Cary Santiago’s laser-cut gowns are simply breathtaking. So one can only expect beautiful miniatures from the couturier.



Cary brought his Barbies for the Ballet Philippines auction with him last Saturday at the National Museum, as he was one of the guest speakers for the Preview + Slim’s fashion lecture on Couture Construction and Conservation.



He said they were all versions of gowns he’d created in the past for clients.



Notice the intricate pleating on fan-like tiers.

This voluminous ball skirt extends further in the back, making for a very luxurious and decadent garment.



Cary demonstrated how to construct a garment on a body form that day, going through the meticulous workmanship involved in couture construction (video, coming soon). He also explained how these micro-pleats are individually created on the bodice, to produce that fine, even pattern.



Notice how the top layer of tulle on the skirt bears his signature laser-cut filigree patterns; even the shawl has a laser-cut edge. It’s amazing how weightless it looks despite all the layers.



This gown is simply amazing! The circular paillettes that increase in size as they go down the skirt; the elegant, sweetheart neckline; and the lasercut veil make this a dream wedding gown.



If my memory serves me right, Juana Manahan-Yupangco’s bridal gown was of a similar, if not the same, design and she looked stunning in the photos I saw.



This is my personal favorite. I’m so in love with the serpentina silhouette and how it skims the body. This particular dress feels so French, with all the tiny bows adorning the neckline and skirt. Even the hairstyles felt like French-style wigs–adorned with crystals, no less–harking back to Marie Antoinette, as though they were made to resemble the young queen. John Herrera, who is currently being mentored by Cary, said that Cary asked a hair stylist friend in Cebu to primp and coif each Barbie.



I asked Cary about how to store these fairly large gowns (it would be tragic if the shape was ruined due to poor storage!). He said that he has special boxes made for each gown, to ensure that each piece stays properly intact.

I have a feeling that the bidding on these will go quite far. If you’re one of the lucky ones who owns a Cary Santiago gown, wouldn’t it be lovely to have a miniature version to keep, as well?

Okay, j'ai trouvé le bon filon, y a plein d'autres clichés, je regarde ça tout à l'heure.....

Bonjour,

Super !....... ces photos plus détaillées ........ cela s'appelle de l'info pure et dure !.....

J'avoue que je me suis un peu découragée de chercher des infos, personne ne venant voir !...... j'avais l'impression de faire comme Don Quichotte et de brasser du vent !....... (comme les ailes de son moulin !.....) et tiens cela me fait penser à Jacques Brel et à son Seigneur de la Mancha !!!!!! (j'aime beaucoup, très beaucoup Jacques Brel !......)

Effectivement cela demande du temps de faire des recherches sur le net, il faut en ouvrir des dizaines et des dizaines de sites, lire encore plus d'articles pour trouver l'info qui en vaille la peine !.........

Alors Ghis :pale: .........

Re,

Je trouve la mairée splendide !....... wow ........

Le cygne noir aussi !..............


J'espère que la vente caritative a eu beaucoup du succès !...... dommage que je ne suis pas en mesure de mettre des enchères pour de telles actions !......

J'aimerais pouvoir y participer aussi !

BON, en fait, c'est plus compliqué qu'il n'y paraît, j'ai lu la suite de l'artciel sur le " cygne noir ", du créateur James Myers, alors j'y ajoute dans le post, pis j'ajoute la suite des mariées, puis encore une autre page.....

Mais finalement, ce ne sont pas les robes noires présentées en haut du post, donc jon va continuer de chercher et on va bien trouver des infos plus détaillées de ces robes

Allez, j'édite mes messages.....

Guess who's wearing Cary? And mamatay na sa inggit, she's a freaking size zero.


I'm guessing those joints are a dead give away. look closely and those are hand pleated micro folds. Laser cut in filigree design. Kill me now.


It's Barbie!!! Wearing Cary Santiago couture!! She doesn't even have to work to earn a living and she gets to wear Cary?! Grrr.


Emote moment. Girl, Ken is gay. Please.


The micro detailing is fantastic!


Layered fan detail icing dress.


I bet every engaged girl wants to be her right now. Me, I want the 5 karat engagement ring first. Etchos.




Para sa Ninang na Madame, diba Car?

And they all lived happily ever after.


Cary Santiago Barbies will be auctioned off at the CCP. Watch this space for further details.

The Sci-Fi Glam Barbies of Louis Claparols
Spotted: Louis Claparols‘ Lady Gaga-esque Barbies. I so see the eccentric popstar wearing those…are they asymmetric bunny ears?



Louis has always done amazing beadwork, I still remember the fashion editorial styled by Leica Carpo that featured the beaded denims that launched his career as a designer. (Imagine an ornately embroidered and embellished peacock on a pant leg.)

“The inspiration comes from sci-fi films of the 50’s and 60’s, like ZsaZsa Gabor’s “Queen of Outer Space,” he explains. He painstakingly meticulously hand-beaded these pearls and sequins on organza, which he shredded to achieve, as he says, “the furry effect.”

Personally, I see a pop star like Beyonce totally rocking this look. (Sarah G, your next concert, maybe?) My only question is, would a life-size version be heavy?

Loving the sparkle, Louis!

A designer wardrobe for Barbie, how wickedly decadent! I can hear the rich little girls already, “Daddy, I want that one!”
