OH HAPPY WEEK:

Hello there dear fashionistas,

I have more than plenty reasons to be in high spirits this week.

First, my lovely baby blog was featured in TimeOut Lisboa, one of the coolest magazines to be featured in, those days.

And second, my dear friend Carolina de Morais Sarmento (she was featured here and here) and me are heading to Paris Fashion Week on Saturday.

How cool is that?

We don’t know already our full schedule, but I believe that we will have some nice surprises for you, my darling readers!

So far we are attending Andrew Majtenyi's Autumn/Winter 2011

Collection launching at Galerie Cadain and obviously we are going to all the Colette-Chanel Temporary Store events.

For those who have no idea what I’m writing about:

From 1st to 10th of March, CHANEL and COLETTE will blend their creative talent to open a temporary boutique at 336-340 rue Saint-Honoré. This ephemeral and eclectic store will match fashion, visual arts and musical performances in a rock’n’roll vibe. Definitely an event than we just cannot miss! (more information here)

CHANEL-COLLETE TEMPORARY STORE SCHEDULE:

March 5 : Graffiti artist ANDRÉ will be customising bags between 3pm and 6pm

March 7 : Graffiti artist FAFI will be customising bags between 4pm and 6pm

March 8 : CHANEL nail bar between 3pm and 6pm

March 9 : SO-ME, graphic artist and illustrator, will be customising bags between 4pm and 6pm

March 10 : CHANEL nail bar between 3pm and 6pm

Presença Portuguesa no “Press Show”

do Central St. Martins

Ana Canadas nasceu em Lisboa em 1984 e em 2005 concluiu o Bacharelato em Design da Comunicação na Faculdade de Belas Artes da Universidade de Lisboa.

Hoje, passados quatro anos, è uma das 7 finalistas do BA em Fashion Design with Marketing a participar no super restrito, mas amplamente divulgado na imprensa especializada, “Press Show” do Central Saint Martins, onde apenas participam 35 dos 150 finalistas da prestigiada faculdade londrina de onde saíram nomes tão conhecidos e sonantes como Stella McCartney, Alexander McQueen e John Galliano.

Ainda durante o curso em St. Martins, Ana, teve a oportunidade de estagiar e colaborar com a Beyond the Valley, Tatty Devine, PPQ e a revista Tank – tendo realizado também trabalhos como assistente para o The Observer e Vogue Francesa.

Permanentemente, colabora no Atelier de Imagem, na área de fotografia de moda, do Instituto de Fotografia de Lisboa.

Em 2008 apresentou a sua colecção conceptual de joalharia em prata no London Design Festival.

Hoje, durante o “Press Show”, Ana vai apresentar a sua fantástica e super arrojada colecção “Anatomy of the Self”, inspirada no trajecto psicológico de uma das personagens femininas do filme “Alphaville”, do cineasta Jean-Luc Godard.
