Rise of the Valkyrie

In Norse mythology Valkyrie means “Chooser of the Slain”. She works for Odin, the head of the Nordic gods to decide warriors who should die in the battle. Inspired by this, I made this one. She appears in many of work of art, including my work here.  

I intend to make these as a decoration for head band. With combination of raspberry and french lilac color, they look wonderful.

What A Party Thing..

Recently I made some stuffs from flannel. What an amazing thing to do. Here goes one of the stuff I made. It probably just a mask but it's quite hard to create this actually. I have to fit the pattern with my face to find the right template. And then I made it after several failure. I continue to cut the fabric with the model I've made. I choose light grey because it looks soft but also mysterious for a mask. And then you can see the result. I think you can use it for special occasion like masquerade or halloween..

Dimension :

Length : 29 cm (11 3/4 inch)
Wide : 10 cm ( 4 inch)
Depth : 0,5 cm

If you want to have it, please contact me.

Interview With Delaney - Fashion Blogger

I have a great moment with one of my blogger friend. We share each other story and these she wants to tell us all.. :)

Tell me a little bit about your daily activity?

Being a minor, I go to school six hours, five days a week. At home, after a few hours of homework (with numerous distractions), I relax on the couch, blogging, emailing, or, I must admit, Facebooking.  On weekends, I bop around, sometimes going shopping downtown or going out to lunch.

How do you find blogging can support your career?

Right now I make no money off of my blog, but I do hope in the future I might. It certainly would be nice.

 

What is the most interesting thing about the fashion world to you?

I guess it would be the fast-paced change of it all. When I watch a documentary about fashion, I am always amazed as to how quickly and with what ease things change. Within a day, models are cast, new trends are "out" or "in" and countless decisions are made. Also, with each season comes a new wave of trends and styles that makes things almost impossible to track. It's fascinating.

Who is your fashion idol? Why do you idolize him/her?

Just one? That's impossible for me! I idolize people like Bianca Jagger and Coco Chanel for bringing their own twist to the fashion world. But I also idolize photographers like Scott Schuman and Yvan Rodic for bringing street style to me and other fashion lovers around the world. I get more inspiration from street style bloggers than anyone else, probably because it is one of those "from the people, for the people" kinds of things.

What is one dream of yours that has not been fulfilled?

Well, I have numerous! One big dream of mine is to go to Columbia University in New York in a couple of years. I have no idea what I want to study (probably journalism), but I know NYC would be the perfect backdrop to my new life.

What is on your mind when you wake up in the morning? What is your big plan for each day?

Almost everyday I have something in particular on my mind when I wake up. Morning is my most productive time, so I often make a list in my head. Be it snapping some shots of an outfit or just toasting a bagel, I almost always have a goal.

What are your hopes for your future in fashion?

I simply hope I have one. I hope fashion is not a thing that I will grow out of or learn to dislike. I hope it will always be apart of my life.

Special thanks to Delaney for her time..

Interview With Nick Hissom Part 2

Nick Hissom will share you his story again. I believe Nick always has fascinating story to tell. Just check it out to find out more about his recent activities.

What so special about your mother agency? Why you want to be part of it?

My Mother Agency is called The Talent Net, and the head of the agency Claudette couldn't be sweeter. We speak most days and she is always nurturing towards me and I'm sure is the same towards all of her models! It's a small agency, but it allows everyone to be like a big family!

How many agency you belong with and in which cities are they? Tell me which one is the best from all?

I recently signed with MandP in London, otherwise The Talent Net is managing me for placements globally.

Your recent work for Frillr magazine? How does it feel to work with Fabien Montique?

Fabien is a great guy, very inspirational and very relaxed when working. Everyone on set felt very at ease and Joseph Blue (who I have also worked with) was kind enough to be on set to help with the direction and styling of the video shoot.

Have you plan for traveling somewhere else? Where will you be?

I'm going back home to London for Thanksgiving, I'm so excited to see all of my friends and family!

You might have met people from different background, different country and culture, how to connect the difference between you and them?

I believe that when you meet someone from a different background/country/culture than you that is an opportunity to learn. My boarding school in Switzerland was over 90% international students and a very tight-knit community, so I was able to take full advantage of being surrounded by such a diverse group of people.

When you’re back to college (or home), what’s your friend said about you?

I never ask! I know that my friends and family are always supportive of whatever I do!

Special Thanks to Nick Hissom for taking his time in our interview..

Markus Riva Talked About His Latest Single "QUIZ"

This is my second interview with Markus Riva about the release of his latest single QUIZ. I felt delightful to have another opportunity to interview him and I'd love to share the story with you all.

Tell me about the concepts of your latest single Quiz? The messages you try to tell to your listener?

The song QUIZ is the 2nd single of my soon-to-be-released CD "Songs from NYC" and it is electro pop song with also Latvian version "Kā Tevi Sauc". The song, like all the 12 other tracks from new CD, is inspired by the New York and QUIZ tells a quite simple story about being rich and being lonely. If you have brand clothes, latest MacBook and VIP status everywhere you go (just to have a status, all-eyes-on-you, brilliants etc.) that doesn't mean that you are happy - "no one to share, no one to wake up with - morning is like a quiz, you loose - you win". And this song definitely is not about one-night stands.

Where did you film the clip? Are you doing all the editing process or you have any team with you?

We filmed the video during my stay in NYC last summer with fashion photographer Lars Weber from Germany. I had the industrial vision of the video so Brooklyn was a perfect location to shoot. But the editing process was made in Riga with my production company. We also came up with the idea to make a 3D version of this video so it is also now the first Latvian 3D music video. There are so many 3D movies now so we thought, it would be great to make a 3D music video.

You've changed your hair cut Markus, what kind of style is that?

I changed the hair style with "Strogonovs" company which is one of the most prominent hair saloon in Riga. I am a face of the saloon and face of their marketing campaign. At first it was crazy idea to go blonde, but now I am fine with that and satisfied. Being one of the most fashionable artists in Latvia I have to do more and more crazy things so the hair color probably is just a good start. I have also been nominated for the Most Stylish musician in Latvia for OE TV Music Video awards (also for best song and best video (both for "Love to you"), in total 4 nominations) and was nominated for the Latvian Style and Fashion award this February. So I should keep going!

In the video you changed your outfit from white to black, any meaning for that?

In the video I had more ideas but we were short of time to do all that crazy ideas so we actually sticked to quite simple things. Black and white thing was to symbolize 2 contrasts like loose - win, good - bad, black - white and so on. Life is like that - sometimes there is gray too but in general we are happy - we are sad, we smile - we cry. And we tried to do some old-school stuff with the video effects. And the song in general is inspired by the classical electro pop music.

In which album we can find this single?

This song will be featured my second studio album "Songs From NYC".
 

Big thanks to Markus Riva for the share with us.

In A Glimpse : Jogja Java Carnival 2010

Jogja Java Carnival for the first time was held in 2008. This year, the carnival was opened on 16 October 2010 and took routes from Malioboro street, Ahmad Yani street, Trikora street, and ended at North Square of Jogjakarta Palace.

In a glimpse about Jogjakarta. During the Dutch Colonial, The Kingdom of Mataram was separated into Jogjakarta and Surakarta kingdom through Gianti agreement in 1755. Jogjakarta as an autonomous kingdom having recognition by the government of the Republic of Indonesia during the independence of this republic in 1945. President Soekarno announced a decree for Jogjakarta to become special region because of its king and people’s helping hand for the independence of the republic. Jogja is a special region which still keeping its tradition and become a province with autonomy on it.

Sri Sultan Hamengku Buwono X, both the king of Jogjakarta and the governor of Jogja Province itself, has autonomous power to lead his kingdom due to fact that Jogjakarta inherited a very rich culture and tradition that should be preserved and become identity of Indonesia as a country with cultural riches.
