Mayfair celebrates 70 years of Antonio Lopez.



Antonio López  (1943-1987) was one of the important fashion illustrators of the last century whose works dominated magazines like Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, Elle and interview throughout the 60's, 70's and 80's.
Born in Puerto Rico, Antonio moved to New York city with his family when he was 7 years old. He dropped out of the fashion institute of technology to pursue a position at Women's daily and later moved on to the New York Times.
His studio in New York, where he created works under the moniker Antonio with his partner Juan Ramos was a creative and eccentric meeting place for the glamorous group of  friends surrounding him such as Andy Warhol, grace Jones, Bill Cunningham, Jerry Hall, Jessica Lange and Karl Lagerfeld.

Amy Forever

Yesterday was the last day of one intimate and emotional exhibition about the late singer Amy Winehouse at Camden Town jewish Museum. 

The exhibition mixed different passions in her life: her family, London and Music. 








In the different display you were able to see her evolution about style, trend, and how she become a British Fashion Icon. 





















In the  Following display I found clothes and shoes that charaterize the Winehouse style during her profesional career.  Brands like American Appareil Pink sport jacket, Vivianne Westwood dresses, and shoes by YSL, Christian Louboutin, Fendi, etc.


    Dress that she wore at Glastonbury Festival in 2008




In mine opinion, the exhibition was more than just a Fashion fest.

Fashion Rules: last Part


 The 80's 
Model: Princess Diana of Wales



1980's Extravagance and excess!!!!

Britain was invigorated by the computer industry and banking. the YUPPIE (young urban professional) was born into the culture of "more is more".
Women became more relevante in High-powered position and "power dressing", women suits with big shoulders became the rigeur. 
American Soup operas celebs, Like Joan Collins and Linda Evans introduced in fashion big shoulders, big hairstyles sparkling embellished evening wear. 
This style adopted the young princess Diana of Wales in the 80's, earning her the nickname "Dynasty Di".  




On marring Prince Charles in 1981 Diana was thrust into the fashion spotlight, with her every outfit scrutinised the press. And also, she revived the flagging British fashion industry, making designers such as Bruce Oldfield and Catherine Walker.
