All Along the Watchtower - Lookbook

There must be some kind of way out of here,
Said the joker to the thief,
There's too much confusion,
I can't get no relief. (...)
No reason to get excited,
The thief, he kindly spoke
There are many here among us
Who feel that life is but a joke
But you and I, we've been through that
And this is not our fate
So let us not talk falsely now, the hour is getting late

(All Along the Watchtower)

It's a way of life, a way to see reality...your reality!
This is just the lookbook!
More soon!Designer: Arina Varga

Crazy Days

First of all, sorry that I haven't been posting so often!
It's been a crazy ride so far...with the Atelier, custom dresses, the collection, a small dog...and all the bureaucracy in the world, all on my plate! Even so hectic, the days are turning into routines. I'm just in love with that. Plus, a colder weather is making it's presence felt...and that's just perfect!

So, until next time, here is a sneak preview of the next collection All Along the Watchtower. Soon (in less then one week) you'll see more. Kisses!Images: Arina Varga

Just Dance...for Fashion Sake!

Happily Ever After

We all deserve one. A Happily Ever After!
And why not celebrate the event in a fairytale wedding dress? This was Cristina's option for the wedding. Simple, nice, but all with a twist. A fun and bubbly bride, ready to dance the night away!

The dress had actually 4 pieces:
-the bodice (with Swarovski Crystals beading on the top)
-the skirt (made out on 30m of voile and 20m of tulle)
-the belt (all covered in Swarovski Crystals and with a huge bow in the back)
-pleated short sleeves (only for the Church ceremony. She was able to take them off after)

In total: over 60m of fabric and about 2000 Swarovski Crystals.
And it looked fab! ;)

*you should see it spin around! MAGIC!

In the end, here are a few snaps with the "Making off":From: Arina Varga/Atelier-Arina-Varga

Fashion History in an Image 9

The photo is of South African golfer Gary Player, who wore these pants at the 1960 Open Championship to show his support for ending apartheid. Player stated the pants were ‘a quiet protest, of bringing white and black together".

Power to the people! See! Fashion can be a statement, of more then your personal style...

Chocolate Gold

There's NOTHING better then chocolate!!!!

And if we are talking about Belgian chocolate, even better! If you ask me, a sweet experience comes in a pretty little box, with chocolate wrapped in a pretty little paper! You don't get to see the chocolate...until I get the idea of taking pictures of it, it was all gone!

Nothing is better then chocolate!
Don't you agree?

Fashion History in an Image 8

*Don't compromise yourself. You are all you've got.
*Guess what, I might be the first hippie pinup girl.
*I won't quit to become someone's old lady.
*I'm one of those regular weird people.
*On stage I make love to twenty five thousand people; and then I go home alone. This only to show that you don't have to be a bombshell to be part of fashion history! Or to have your very own iconic style! Sometimes, being quirky is the best thing that can happen to you!

Today, I give you Janis Joplin!
The woman that (after my mom) shined over my childhood...with a fantastic voice, that will haunt you forever! Haunt because it's not smooth, it's not silky...it's hard and hypnotic. Perfect!

My dear Janis Joplin!, you are a style icon!

How to Wear HIS Shirt!

He is no longer around?
Is he being an ass-hole?
He doesn't bring home flowers, or candy anymore?

well...please step into his closet! No scissors needed! Now pick-up a cool shirt (it helps if it's one of his favorite), but keep in mind it will be nice if it has stripes...andddd->fallow the instruction in the video: Ahhhh!
Feeling better?
You didn't destroy anything and at the same time, you feel good about having a man around the house. :)))))
