Vintage Love: Boots

November 25, 2009

Loving these two…

The heels on these boots are phenomenally tall and slinky. Too bad the girls are wearing uniforms with them. They would totally rock a biker-chic look.

 

Music was my first love ;) Life is uncertain, have some music first and just dance…

Kuroshio Sea

One of the most stunning videos I’ve seen. Although it makes me sad to see such beautiful creatures in a man made environment. They should be out in the ocean, where they belong…

A paper-thin, flexible screen: the future of print media? I certainly hope so…

Mario Testino, the world famous fashion and portrait photographer, released a new book featuring Rio portraits, scenery and carnival shots. Inspired by the boys and girls from Copacabana and published by Taschen, MaRIO DE JANEIRO Testino will also include words from celebrities including supermodel Gisele Bundchen. The book shows Rio through Testino’s very own eyes. Coincidentally, in the same week of the book’s release, Rio de Janeiro was chosen the host of the 2016 Olympics. Brazilians must be proud.

A jewelry line focused on masterpieces you can wear.

by MELISSA ALVARADO SIERRA

Published: The Fashion Spot


Sisters Aimeé and Katia Suero are not new to the fashion scene, especially after holding a repertoire that contains stints at Óscar de la Renta, Donna Karan, Simón Alcántara and Edmundo Castillo. But back in 2006, the duo decided to branch out and spring anew to invent jewelry on their own. Milla Concepts was then born out of sisterly love and a background that proves to be a perfect fit. Aimeé Suero studied at the Altos de Chavón School of Design, a well-known institution in the Dominican Republic affiliated with Parsons. Aimeé handcrafts the pieces, while Katia Suero bestows her marketing expertise to promote the brand.

The result of their collaboration consists of three collections aptly named Princess, Chains and One of a Kind. Their seemingly bricolage approach to conceiving their impressive necklaces for the One of a Kind collection, for example, is in reality a meticulously orchestrated design. Each necklace features a distinct color palette, varying slightly in form, but all echoing an almost Fulani tribal aesthetic. Their other collections include über-cool plastic chain necklaces and delicate designs – all with a defiantly feminine mystique. The pieces are made of luxurious materials such as silk, nylon, semi-precious stones and Argentinean silver.

Milla Concepts centralizes on handcrafted creations that are truly masterpieces for your neck. The Suero’s believe in timeless, wearable art. That’s what drives their design process, culminating in intricate pieces that are meant for today, tomorrow, and forever.
