Gemma Degara


Gemma Degara is a Spanish designer that started her brand in 2003 in Barcelona. She is known for her 180 degrees clothes: clothes whom you could chose which side would be the front! Her A/W 2009-10 collection is called sleepless nights and as you can see the main color used is electric blue!
I'm officially obsessed with this collection! Love the color, the lines and the fact that you get to buy one cloth but then you can wear it in your way!
One word: Amazing!!!

Wintour vs Gaga

I'm not going to explain the phenomenon Gaga. To be true, i still remember an episode of the Hills where Lauren Conrad takes her friends and go to a hip Californian club to watch "a new name": Lady Gaga! (Amazing how someone makes his/hers first appearance haa?)
Anyway. Most probably you've all watched Lady Gaga's latest video Bad Romance as numbers suggest that the video has been played on YouTube more than 30 million times! If you also follow some of our fashion blogs,you must have seen the frenzy that came right after the first screening of the video. Lady G. appears dressed in the latest Alexander McQueen and in numerous other creations of hip and brand new designers!
I'm not a fashion guru (yet), but in fashion matters i surely have a STRONG memory! And i have to tell you, when Alexander McQueen first presented his latest catwalk, there was a great number of people "begging" that Alexander had to be brave enough to NOT let Gaga touch any of his creations! So...what happened?!
As i read in numerous posts, Lady Gaga's role evolved as not only a new business model for the music industry, but for fashion as well!
Nicola Formichetti, Creative Director of Dazed & Confused and Fashion Director of Vogue Hommes Japan, takes all credits for the outfits worn by Gaga on the video! As BoF says, there has always been a strong connection between fashion, music and film but "Bad Romance" if cut in screenshots could be one of the finest and most extravagant fashion editorials ever!

So what i'm struggling to say is that Lady Gaga is going to play a major role in the fashion industry. Great designers give their creations willingly to her and she is appearing more and more extravagant (see this pic of Gaga greating the Queen Elizabeth II two days ago) If Anna Wintour of Vogue is known to be the Fashion Queen...Dazed and Confused and Nicola Formichetti are preparing their next-and more extravagant- weapon to rule the Fashion World!!!

And you are obliged to obey!
Rah rah ah-ah-ah!!!

Creative Sunday



Taken inspiration from an old Chloe' coat image i found in the morning, i decided to start my first D.I.Y. project! Still unfinished and with many small imperfections, "cardigan" found it's new place in the dummy! Can't wait to finish it, and immediately wear it!

Happy rest of the weekend, guys!

THEIA interview!


I told you something exciting was on the way here! So it's time to reveal all that secrecy! As part of the ermoumag team, i had the chance to interview THEIA!

I have to tell you...she is the sweetest!!! Entering her atelier was like entering Willy Wonka's factory! All the walls were painted in bright colors, clothes, sewing machines and fabrics were seen everywhere and on top of it all, little cherries were painted on the walls! One little thing you have to learn for me is that i have a sweet-tooth so when Theodora offered us chocolate treats from Kastoria, i appreciated her even more!


I found it extremely interesting how she started creating clothes! She has studied economics,too so for me, she was a true hero for deciding to change career and become a designer! I also found it amazing that she has so many ideas for how she would like to present her clothes! It would be amazing to see a fashion show in a central square for sure! Well, that's the king of things that i think that are missing from the Greek Fashion scene... Designers with a more modern vision that are actually interested in producing not only clothes but also IDEAS!


Ok, ok...enough! You now have to click the link and lose yourself in the sweet THEIA world!
