Ho sempre sonno...

I feel sleepy all the time. I am back to drinking at least 3 espressos per day (not yet double like last summer). That is a lot for a girl who didn`t drink coffee before moving here. After the two collections I handed in last week, I started the two new ones right away. Not a change to have a break or sleep. This week after the fashion shows I have had hard time concentrating into my final works... My mind is flying somewhere in an other galaxy... ;o)

This ad I saw while waiting for the metro yesterday... I miss Lapland and real winter.

There are some things that make me question...

1. I witnessed the 4th protest of something this week. (Nobody ever knows what it is about...) What is going on in this country??? The funniest was yesterday when getting up from my Porta Genova metro and I saw at least 20 carabinieri with full gear. I was thinking: "What?", until I saw 4 people walking with banners and the traffic completely stopped. Hah haaa, so funny! Okay, the other manifests were way bigger than that.

2. Why do my neighbours say "salve" in the courtyard? Why not "buon giorno" or "ciao"?

3. I have an addiction to Nutella... Why is the chocolate always after eating around my entire face? Pretty much until my nose... ;o)

4. Why are Italian fruits cheaper in Finland than in Italy? Can`t understand it...

5. When I buy kiwi-fruits they are hard as rocks... I have to wait for a week them to ripen. So strange! Why are they always raw???

6. Why are Italians so full of empty promises? That is something that I won`t get used to... I don`t open up my mouth unless I plan to do what I say.... Like come on!!!!!!

7. In love, is there really "the one" right person for everyone? How do you know that he or she is "the one"?

......

Gotta get back to schoolwork. My blond head is just too full of thoughts... I might need a class of sparkling and some chocolate to keep going on with my studies... ;o)

Sfilate di Fujiwara

On Tuesday afternoon I helped in the last fashionshow of the "week". It was Japanese Giuliano Fujiwara`s show. The silhouette was slim and minimal with all the clothing. The models were boys compared to the other shows.

It was a great experience to see how this designer works compared to the English lady and Italian men... The discipline backstage was totally different than in the other shows. I can`t complain though, the show was arranged perfectly and everything worked, but still I kinda missed the relaxed party feeling what we had backstage at Vivienne Westwood.

This men`s fashionweek was a great experience and I am hoping to work for the women`s fashion week in February as well. I got great memories and really cool friends. ;o) The pictures from Frankie Morello party can`t be published here in the blog, so sorry... ;o) All I can say that IT WAS AMAZING!!!!

Sfilate di Vivienne Westwood 2

I had so much cool pictures of yesterday`s backstage that I need to share them with you. Here I am with the Gardener Andy and my model boy that I helped to dress and undress.

One of the outfits, pretty floral... ;)

This outfit got for sure the most attention... mini tights and the huge colorful sweater. I have to say that Vivienne Westwood and his team have done a great job. The clothing was funny and she for sure is an artist... I don`t know how many pieces of certain sweaters, long skirts or high heel boots will be sold, but the show looked amazing. Hih...

The models and "Vivienne"...

This outfit was crazy... ;o)

Sfilate di Vivienne Westwood

What a blast today at the fashion shows. First in the morning (too early) I worked at the backstage of Frankie Morello. It was fun! The models were boys and the feeling backstage was a bit stiff. Despite that I liked it, it was my first experience working there. I saw the designers, all the interviews and tv cameras... Cool! And of course the champagne after the amazing show. Wow, the designers really were magnificent.

The next show after the lunch was Vivienne Westwood. It was so much fun working there. We arrived 2 hours earlier than the show was supposed to start so we got to see a lot...

Vivienne Westwood`s inspiration was her own gardener Andy.

The atmosphere backstage was pretty much this... ;o)

Me and my model boys... ;o)

Sei cose da me

I got an invitation from Isopeikko to reveal six random things about myself... Hmmm, I don`t even know where to begin. 1. I love fashion magazines. I have lived in Milan only for less than 10 months, but the pile I already have is almost 1,5 meters. I need them for school and my studies... and I just love to see all the latest stylings and fashion shows in Vogue, Elle, Collezione, Fashion Show and Book Moda etc. I don`t even want to think how much money is in that pile or how in earth I am going to transfer them when ever I need to move in the future...

2. I eat a lot of fruits every day, I don`t think that I could live without them. There wouldn`t be much left to eat... meaning that I am kinda picky with all the food.

3. I adore Chanel`s parfyms. My ultimate favourite is Allure Sensuelle. I had a rule not to buy my own parfyms, but I had to make an exception when flying home to Finland for x-mas. I had been without my scent for more than a month. Disaster, hah... ;o)

4. I love champagne. I don`t think that there has to be a special reason when to enjoy it. I feel that every day is worth celebrating.

5. I have a strange addiction to Nutella. I eat it with warm toast or piadine. Really really really bad habit thinking of the coming bikini-season.

6. I love to wear wool sucks at home. My toes are always freezing. The ones that old grandmoms make are the best. ;o)

This was easier than I thought... I could actually continue my list. Now I just have to ask six new people to take apart for this. I would like to hear what Katariina, Karkki, Kazza, Ellen, Paperina and Itkupilli have to share.
