EN: I never liked snake print. Actually animal print. I have always associated it with witchy long red nails, pointy shoes, clothes that are too tight, bleached hair or too much skin show. In a sentence, I thought it was the tackiest thing going on. My opinion hasn’t changed that much (in any of those combos mentioned above, it can still be tacky) but as I got older (don’t I sound wise?!? Take that, Gandhi!), I noticed I’m becoming more and more attracted to exotic skins and leopard print.
Anyway, today I’m all about the python skin. Seeing so much of it on the runways this season, I remembered I had some vintage snakey pants somewhere in the bottom of my closet, waiting to be worn. Was I sceptical? Yes. But since Miuccia said snake is in…who am I to argue? (Classy worn snake skin, of course). Do they push my boundaries? A lot. And that’s good.
RO: Nu mi-a placut niciodata imprimeul de sarpe. Defapt, nu mi-a placut niciodata imprimeul de orice fel de animal. L-am asociat permanent cu unghii lungi, rosii, de vrajitoare, incaltaminte cu bot ascutit, haine prea stramte, par ars (de “preferinta” blond, dar merge si mai inchis) sau prea multa piele la vedere. Intr-un cuvant, mi s-a parut cel mai VULGAR lucru posibil. Per total nu mi-am schimbat parerea nici acum daca ne referim la oricare dintre combinatiile de mai sus (si la dracu, des le mai vad…pe strada sau chiar la televizor) dar pe masura ce am mai capatat experienta (nu-i asa ca suna intelept din partea mea?!? Ia-o p’asta, Gandhi!), am observat ca sunt din ce in ce mai atrasa de pielea de reptile. Vazand atat de multa si pe pasarelele colectiilor din sezonul acesta, mi-am adus aminte ca am undeva prin vagaunile dulapului, o pereche de pantaloni cu un imprimeu de genul, asteptand sa vada lumina zilei. Sceptica am fost? Da. Dar daca a zis Miuccia ca e de bine cu sarpele…cine-s eu sa comentez? (Bine, madame Prada n-a zis ca e cazul sa ma transform in J.Lo, dar in doze mici, cred ca poate arata foarte bine). Ma forteaza sa-mi depasesc limitele? Da. Mult. Iar asta e foarte bine.
I’m wearing vintage Laurel by Escada pants, vintage blouse (that was actually a dress), Zara sandals, ASOS clutch, no name hat, Veronique’s Boutique necklace, H&M rings and vintage bracelet.
Port pantaloni vintage Laurel by Escada, bluza vintage (care defapt a fost rochie si am ciopartit-o), sandale Zara, plic ASOS, palarie no name, colier Veronique’s Boutique, inele H&M si bratara vintage.
Now tell me:D How do you feel about snakeskin print? Would you wear it?
Gata, va ascult:D Ce parere aveti despre imprimeul de reptila? Purtati, l-ati purta?
