SPECTACULAR, SOPHISTICATED & TIMELESS FASHION FOR CHILDREN: VALENTINA SUELS & HER TIRAMISU

GREAT TASTE is something one carries in the soul, in the way one is and acts as a whole. GREAT TASTE is a virtue one possesses and must cultivate ideally to make it expand, because it for sure contributes to make this world a better, more beautiful and worth living place.
Today, in what I consider my duty, to help expand the precious concept of GREAT TASTE, (that has nothing to do with being pretentious, by the way); I have the pleasure to talk about the Venezuelan designer VALENTINA SUELS and her spectacular fashion line for children, called TIRAMISU.

Valentina, founder and Creative Director of this line dedicated to girls from 12 months to 7 years old, and to boys from 12 months to 8 years old; not only creates very fine pieces impregnated of GREAT TASTE for their beauty, delicacy, functionality and high quality; but mostly for their TIMELESS  MODERN SOPHISTICATION.

What makes TIRAMISU different, as I have witnessed; is that it has to do with impeccable fashion created so the CHILDREN OF TODAY DRESS AS CHILDREN while looking lovely updated.
This very special Venezuelan lady started  TIRAMISU in 2010 inspired by her children; distributing her pieces in the city of Caracas only. Now she also has a line of pijamas, and has expanded her sales to other parts of the country and soon, of the world.
Her designs involved wonderful cuts and fabrics (cotton, linen, sheer silk/organza, cambric, pique), and a variety of styles for day and night events; with the most exquisite finishes.
The result of this fabulous designer and TIRAMISU is without a doubt one where superb taste fused with the magic tacit in the fashion for children. Spectacular!
Here some images of Valentina's last collection inspired in the Italian desserts...

ESPECTACULAR, MUY SOFISTICADA Y ATEMPORAL MODA PARA NIÑOS: VALENTINA SUELS Y SU 'TIRAMISU'

El BUEN GUSTO se lleva en el alma; y personalmente lo considero una virtud que además de llevarse en el alma debe cultivarse y se poseerse como un gran tesoro; tesoro que como adultos, jóvenes y/o padres nos toca idealmente pasarlo a nuestros niños.

Hoy, queriendo justamente expandir tal concepción del BUEN GUSTO, que por supuesto nada tiene que ver con pretensión, sino con hacer de este mundo un lugar más digno, bello, armonioso y disfrutable; es la razón por la que me complace compartir con ustedes sobre una marca muy especial y la mente detrás de ella, ambas portadoras y generadoras de espectacular BUEN GUSTO para niñas y niños: Me refiero a TIRAMISU y su fundadora y Directora Creativa VALENTINA SUELS.
 
Valentina, inspirada en sus hijos, comenzó en el año 2010 con una pequeña colección de moda TIRAMISU dirigida a niñas de 12 meses a 7 años, y niños de 12 meses a 8 años; con puntos claves de venta en Caracas. Después de 5 años, no solo crea ropa realmente bella para este nicho; ahora también tiene una línea de pijamas; de venta en varios estados de Venezuela; como Puerto la Cruz, Valencia, Maturín y Barinas.
Como Valentina bien me comentaba, TIRAMISU es una marca enfocada en crear MODA SOPFISTICADA Y ATEMPORAL,  PARA QUE LOS NIÑOS SE VISTAN DE NIÑOS; una idea simplemente irresistible, cargada de valores y de una impecable SIMPLICIDAD MODERNA.
Igualmente, Valentina, una creadora muy sensible a su entorno, creativa y actual; también presta especial atención a producir diseños de cortes y telas bellas y cómodas (como el lino, algodón, batista, piqué y organza), con una variedad de modelos que pueden ser llevados de día y de noche; sin jamás descuidar los excelentes acabados.
El resultado de TIRAMISU es sin duda uno donde todo lo maravilloso y mágico del BUEN GUSTO y la moda de niños se funde. Aquí algunas imagines de la última colección, inspirada en postres italianos…

PARIS PRÊT-À-PORTER TRENDS, FALL/WINTER 2015-16

Having GREAT STYLE is all about embracing our individuality, honoring our essence and of course, as we all have well learned from the French: être bien dans notre peau. Oh, yes! That is what I personally CELEBRATE the most when the PARIS FASHION WEEKS go on. It is the time when we most have to let ourselves be free, dream and feel very inspired…
Here some ‘tendances spectaculaires’ for the next AUTUMN / WINTER 2015-16 seasons to fall for...

ART IS IN THE AIR
Opt art, figurative art, abstract art, origamis... You name it. ART was everywhere; mostly in prints, motifs, fabric treatment and strategic detailing. Paris runways spoke out loud about a divine mélange of colors or the black & white eternal successful duo. Lovely! (Images: Valentino, Issey Miyake, Christian Dior & Undercover)
POWERFUL SPORTINESS
You can choose to impersonate any URBAN SPORT EXPERT, go on and pick your favorite: The equestrian, the car-racer, the runner, the moto-champ, the varsity athlete, the brave army-lady… Paris fashion has given us all! (Images: Moncler Gamme Rouge, Kenzo, Louis Vuitton & Lanvin)
SHORTER PANTS
We have been enjoying using pants with shorter lengths for a while… And it seems that we cannot get enough of them because culottes, gauchos, over the ankle pants; loose, tailored of fitted will keep rocking our fashion world for a long time; as it was clearly appreciated in the City of Lights catwalks. Great! (Images: Maiyet, Barbara Bui, Paul & Joe, Valentino)
BLACK&WHITE FOREVER
Yes, BLACK&WHITE once again! This classic pair is part of the savoir-faire in the fashion world; we sure can live with and in them forever. (Images: Roland Mouret, Chanel, Andrew GN & Alexander McQueen)
ALL IN WHITE
Total looks in WHITE were among the most delightful ensembles seen on the runways. They showed such a great aura of elegance, sophistication and modernity at the same time. Impeccable! (Images: Stella McCartney, Maison Rabih Kayrouz, Loewe & Akris)
THE SUIT
A wide variety of beautiful suits; some with fabulous tailoring other with edgy fits; clearly stated the desire and necessity of today’s tasteful women to be comfortable and powerful. (Images: Emanuel Ungaro, Mugler, Chloe & Kenzo)
SPARKLE ON
Wonderful paillettes, silky and metallic fabrics, shiny beading and detailing generated a very special SPARKLE in so many of the French fashion collections. Gorgeous! (Images: Loewe, Paul & Joe, Sonia Rykiel, Balmain)
ETHNIC CHARM
Probably one of the richest, most crafted and loudest trend was that of an ETHNIC CHARM. Full of boho vibes; Indian, Asian and Spanish airs; there were fantastic ensembles inviting us to enliven and celebrate this multicultural beautiful world! (Images: Manish Arora, Andrew GN, Kenzo & Balmain)
EXQUISITE SHEERNESS
Very EXQUISITE SHEERNESS materialized in strategic transparent contours, paneling and cutouts, were the clear proof that ‘sexy’ can be very ‘tasteful’! (Images: Givenchy, Elie Saab, Alexander McQueen & Roland Mouret)
 
BOOTS WITH EVERYTHING
From ankle-boots to over-the-knee ones, BOOTS became the most popular object of desire; since it was all about wearing them with anything! Boots with the most elegant ensembles, with the most relaxed ones, and everything in between. So hot! (Images: Isabel Marant, Christian Dior, Iris van Harpen & Elie Saab)
LIFE IS INDEED A RUNWAY!
SHINE ON!
