B.'s reflections in the MI-RO

CONTROVERSIAL SHOW!!!
...can't say I left the room astonished, yet now that I am checking out the pics, I gotta admit I was kinda harsh with the ULTIMATELY CUTE designer duo (or have I simply photographed the ones that fitted my taste? ..DUNNO!) .
The minimalistic plain pieces were quirky enough for me, some feathery stuff though I didn't like at all!
Quite weird since in the past I fell for several MI-RO collections
(especially the SS 2008 with all the fluorescent garments...)









BAD BAD FEATHERS!!!
...reminds me of costumes that came straight out of Ὄρνιθες by Aristophanes
ME-NO!

The dude that ''Respects women''

''He respects women''
...Granny shouted after an hour of me busting balls with my F/W pics!

I have to agree with her that although none of the clothes were MY style, the guy managed to theatrically transfer me to another era where curves weren't -to be executed for-.

...Not to mention I took some of my favorite F/W pictures down @ that show!

B.'s Favorite

If there's one Greek designer who has an eye for International trends that would be him!
Yiorgos Eleftheriades impressed me THE MOST with all his low-key& edgy creations all in one.
You know those day-dreams where you're a V.I.P & you have the luxury to hire your personal designer?
He'd definitely be my first choice

Isn't he so OLSEN-appropriate??
Someone's bound to drop a dime and tell them

Geometry lessons...

I SUCKED IN GEOMETRYI BLAME it on MY TUTOR ...If he really meant to teach me the length of a segment whose endpoints are the vertex (& other math-shit), he should have brought me one of these dresses to analyse!Beyond any of my usual jokes, I gotta admit it's very hard for a DElight collection to let me down.The whole thing was quite arty, it actually reminded me of Warhol's "Composition With Yellow, Red, Black, Blue, and Grey" + the pieces were all wearable. That for me is SUCCESS. ...still wondering when I'll acually fork out some cash to get myself one of those:




B.'s personal favorite: The ripped last one!!!

Christopher's falling Angels

WHO GOT HER F/W PRESS PASS
I GOT MY F/W PRESS PASS

...in fact I only passed by techopolis @Gazi (where the Greek fashion week takes place) just to grab my precious pass and hit the road
YET chit-chatting with fellow bloggers made time pass in a snap
...and then it was time for Kotentos show.

Although I'm not quite a fan, I gotta admit he caught me off guard with the whole catwalk setting and music.
As for the clothes, I loved the geometric shapes & the graphic tights but some glittery details could have been avoided.
I also enjoyed the cartoony sky-high heels, & the betting on whether the next model will fall or not.

Post-show designer's grin

...poor POOR models

Famous model-BUSTER Mr. Koutoulias

Rocking hair AND glasses all in 1

Funky sneakers!

...Happy Greek Fashion week 2 all!

Tentacles of ... JOY!

Remember those up-tight fashion shows were people involved can't even breathe dealing with every minor detail that could possibly go wrong?

FORGET ABOUT THEM!
WE'RE IN GREECE P-E-O-P-L-E!

...a huge flood formed in the area were fashion week runs all the events, it's nothing to worry about.
Instead, you may bring your floating octopus with ya, and play around with it!
ESPECIALLY if you're a designer on the verge of a nervous breakdown because of the upcoming show!

DElight brought those DElighted tentacles backstage, and I embraced it!
....well you know me, total sucker for anything childish!


Octopus was skinnier than the models at the beginning...

& carbohydrates started entering its body slowly...

the designer-duo did their best to make it look healthier...

& here it is chubbier than ever...

Floating peacefully in the middle of the flood , contemplating why the hell women obsess so much about their weight, & admiring his gorgeous/brand new/chubby tentacles!

Too bad those fashion-week people totally disregard the kid inside them, and they've immediately put poor DEL-octopus in detention!
The kid inside wasn't the only one disregarded by them though , the flood was too....

Who should be in detention NOW?

Delight-oscope!

One kaleidoscope & two fresh designers

-SUCCESS GRANTED-

...from me at least, ( and most fellow bloggers) being quite familiar with that item with a kaleidoscope enthusiast-mom, owing many of those.

Kaleidoscopes come in various color combination and DElight (the designer duo in
question) used my favorite one - PASTELS!

Baby pink, baby blue and all those UNDERAGED colors made their clothes delicious & me -way too eager- to waste all my money on them
(though WASTE is the most inappropriate word to use)

Once again I was backstage with my blogger friends, missing the actual show, yet being able to see up-close, touch & feel the clothes, which for me is far more important!
Dressing up the models wasn't bad either, Barbie addicts like me would agree that it was exactly like playing with dolls!

The collection: colorful, playful ... full in all aspect!
I hate cliche phrases yet...I WANT THEM ALL!

Model I was in charge of: KORDULA!
Austrian beauty & the sweetest girl ever, working with her was a bliss!

Hairdressers had nothing to do!
Here you see them filling their time correcting -perfect- hair!
Wise hairdo-choice & overly helpful for us backstagers , THANK ya DElight!

Lopi watching the sweetest Greek model -Ismini- getting dressed, and models having their clothes steamed by stylish Stellina! Delight were more than perfectionists!

Lighten up Ismini, you 're quite a catwalker (no actual cats involved)!

Is it my impression or model's weight in 2009 is healthier?
Last minute stress!

To rap it up, this was my favorite backstage experience , not only because the clothes fit my taste, & I am telling ya, one day I'll be posting my new delight dress here, but also because the girls made our life much easier with them being more organized than all designers I've worked with so far!

Once AGAIN: Congrats girlz, & .....all the Best!
