1. From this VIDEO POST | 2. At Dreft Fashion Week Zagreb |3. & 4. At Isabel Marant pour H&M showroom
I went to Boris Pavlin's showroom yesterday, together with some of my fellow bloggers, because ItGirl organized a very fun event in collaboration with the designer. Boris held a little ''lecture'' for us, in which he spoke about fashion in Croatia, how his dresses are made, and so on. I have to say this was one of the most educational events I have ever attended! I respect him even more as a designer now. All of his dresses are made of pure silk and lace, and everything is handmade. That means every single one of his dresses is unique. I think I don't have to say more, just look at the pictures and you'll understand the perfection of Boris Pavlin's design.

Prijevod:
Jučer sam išla u showroom Borisa Pavlina, zajedno sa još nekim blogericama, jer je portal ItGirl organizirao jedan jako zabavan event u suradnji sa dizajnerom. Boris je držao malo ''predavanje'' za nas, u kojem je govorio o modi u Hrvatskoj, kako se rade njegove haljine, i tako dalje. Moram vam reći da je ovo bio jedan od najedukativnijih evenata na kojima sam ikad bila! Sad ga još više poštujem kao dizajnera. Sve njegove haljine se rade od čiste svile i čipke, i sve je ručno rađeno. To znači da je svaka od haljina unikat. Mislim da ne moram više ništa reći, samo pogledajte slike i shvatit ćete savršenstvo dizajna Borisa Pavlina.

The Young Designers Collective is an association of artists and designers based in New York City, who design for non-profit organizations to promote good will as well as gain exposure individually and for the cause we are working towards. Sponsored by SI Design and Consulting Inc, they provide young designers a platform that would have otherwise been difficult to build and gain recognition with on their own. In an ever-shrinking world, working together to achieve success has never been more important.
They allow for a free exchange of ideas and talents, thereby fostering the growth of artists and art in commercial design. They want to bring appreciation back to the artist behind the designer, to quality or handmade products, and to a more sustainable future. From design to production they believe in fair trade and source our materials with this in mind.
By “doing well by doing good” they connect their designers to non-profit organizations in order to create a favorable outcome for both parties. Both benefit from the high quality products designed to produce revenue for the organization and promote the designer’s name into a new or national market. With philanthropy and fashion hand in hand, they hope to further charitable works as well as bring new talent to light sooner than ever before.
With their recent donation to the Heart and Soul Charitable Fund, which was presented at their annual gala auction at Christie's Auction House and auctioned at Charity Buzz, they demonstrate our commitment to philanthropy and the part that art and design can play in facilitating a cause.
Their next project is a line of teen active wear and accessories for the Navigators USA, a national youth service organization started in Harlem in response to the discriminatory practices of the Boy Scouts of America. Now 45 chapters strong, the Navigators USA continues to grow rapidly across the country.They plan to launch the line this fall for release in Spring 2014.
Doesn't this sound amazing?! I really like this idea, and we definitely need something like this in Croatia as well. It's always great to support new, talented artists, especially when they have such kind hearts and want to help others. I look forward to seeing what they have planned next!

As you can see, this outfit is all about white. I think I already mentioned how I love the hot summer trend white on white. It looks so breezy and relaxed! I decided to also wear a bit of blue this time, just to mix it up a bit. White + blue combinations always remind me of Santorini - a dream island that I would love to visit.
Hope you like it,
xoxo S.

Kao što vidite, u ovom outfitu se sve vrti oko bijele boje. Mislim da sam već spomenula kako volim ovaj vrući ljetni trend bijelo na bijelo. Izgleda tako lepršavo i opušteno! Odlučila sam ovaj put staviti i neke plave detalje da ne bude dosadno. Bijele + plave kombinacije me uvijek podsjećaju na Santorini - sanjivi otok koji bi jako voljela posjetiti.
Nadam se da vam se sviđa,
xoxo S.

Hi everyone!
I went to Dreft Fashion Week Zagreb again last night. There were two collections I particularly enjoyed - Martina Sporis and Hermione de Paula's. I generally love Martina's design and aesthetics. Her collection was very rock'n'roll, mostly black with a lot of zippers, and a few red or blue details. Very cool!
A lovely guest from London, Hermione de Paula, presented a collection full of big floral prints. Her silky clothes looked very elegant, and also comfortable.
A designer from Istanbul, Safak Tokur, showed us a collection with a lot of unusual pieces, both in men's and women's wardrobe. Very unconventional.
The collection I didn't like was Natalija Smogor's. Very plain, and we will forget about it tomorrow.
And while Julia and Ben, guests from Berlin, decided to use earthy tones, Ivancica Hrustic presented a black collection created for confident women.
Today is the last night of Fashion Week Zagreb, so I look forward to it!
Btw, if you know Croatian, read my entire report for CroModa HERE.
