Spanish fashion designer Manolo Blahnik is considered one of the world's most influential footwear designers. He has won several CFDA Awards (1987, 1990 and 1998) and British Fashion Council Awards (1990, 1999). His exquisite stiletto heel designs became very famous thanks to the TV show "Sex and the City", where the main character Carrie Bradshaw frequently mentions her love to her "Manolos". Nowadays Manolo Blahnik's shoes are considered style masterpieces.

A fact I would like to highlight is that Manolo Blahnik was the first man on the cover of Vogue UK. It was in 1974 and he appears with the actress Anjelica Huston, both holding a champagne flûte and wearing elegant clothes. As background, the photographer David Bailey chose a beach located in the South of France.

Last season Gossip Girl

www.glamour.es

The sixth and last season of Gossip Girl starts tomorrow, October 8th at 9 p.m. on CW!!!

If you haven't watched this show yet, I highly recommend it to you! Not only because of the plot and the characters, but also their wardrobes. It might sound silly, I know, but I am a total fan of Eric Daman, the man behind the wardrobe closet of this show.

www.imbd.com

I think he styles perfectly the New York look, and I love this style above all. On an interview with the New York editor of Refinery29 Annie Georgia Greenberg, we was asked if he took inspiration from real New Yorkers when he styles these "fake" New Yorkers (referring to Blair Waldorf, Serena van der Woodsen, Chuck Bass, Dan Humphrey, Nate Archibald and the rest of the cast)?
He answered "New York itself is just such a great inspiration.[...] I think kind of why the show has, you know, such a trendful impact and it's different than other shows, is that we are New York and I've been in New York for fifteen years and I've always been kind of passionate about New York fashion and how people really do get dressed up and really have their own style. And it's just, every time I walk down the street I ger inspired by something".

Emmy-winning costume designer Eric Daman has worked with Patricia Field on "Sex and the city" and recently co-hosted Fashion's Night Out [#FNO] with Vera Wang in New York City.
For all "Sex and the City"- fans: As you may know, he is also the stylist for the show Carrie Diaries, the CW's 80s-set "Sex and the City" prequel that will have its premiere in January 2013. Here is a trailer of the show, featuring AnnaSophia Robb as a young Carrie Bradshaw:

✩ Highlight: I LOVED the Washington Post photo gallery of Gossip Girl that you can find here. Take a look at some of the best looks of the show, from Season one to six.

My favourite character of this Upper East Side Show is Blake Lively as Serena van der Woodsen, that recently got married to Ryan Reynolds, ex-husband of Scarlett Johansson. Congrats!

I want to share with you this beautiful editorial of the September's edition of the fashion magazine Numéro Tokyo. Candice Swanepoel poses for the English photographer Alexi Lubomirski. The lighting is in my opinion perfect and the natural make-up (with a touch of tan) fits the look perfectly. Wearing pieces from Dior, Burberry Prorsum and Gucci, she looks stunning and makes clear why she is one of the best models (ranked #18, and #3 as one the sexiest).

MBFWM: EXTREME by Matteos

After an amazing Erasmus year in Leipzig (Germany), I came back to Madrid, just in time for the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Madrid, celebrated between the 30th August and the 4th September 2012. Mercedes-Benz, L'Oréal and INDITEX were the main sponsors at this fifty-sixth edition.

I had the chance to attend one of the OFF-Runways of this MBFWM edition: EXTREME by Jose Matteos, that took place on Monday at the "Casa de Galicia". The best part was that I went with some of my best friends during this unforgettable year and that one of them modelled! Her name is Marta Gutiérrez Zambrano and I am really proud of being her friend, she is an amazing girl and model and looked totally gorgeous during the runway, before and afterwards!

Now it is time to see the show! It's the first time that José Matteos adds colour to one of his collections, S/S 2013, and I really like how he has mixed textures and forms. The collection brings a wave of sophistication, with great-detailed pieces in black and white, and pink and black. The fashion designer has used organic cotton and linen to shape this collection. Oriental inspired, I specially like the delicate floral embroided details on the dresses. Do you like it?

Tras un año inolvidable de Erasmus en Leipzig, volví a Madrid, justo a tiempo de asistir a uno de los desfiles de la 56ª edición de la pasarela Cibeles, conocida como Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Madrid. Fue el desfile de José Matteos, diseñador gallego, que en su colección "EXTREME", diferente a colecciones anteriores, donde predominaba la monocromía, presenta toques de color y un juego de formas y texturas. El desfile se celebró en la Casa de Galicia, y terminó con prendas en color negro con sobrevolúmenes en mangas y cuello.

Lo mejor del desfile para mí fue poder haber ido con mis mejores amigas del Erasmus, con las que he compartido un montón de momentos especiales, habernos sentado en primera fila, y haber conocido a Mia, la blogger de moda detrás del blog miasfashionscrapbook. Os dejo con algunas fotos que nos hicimos después del desfile:
