Camilla Akrans is The Bride....

In love with this "serie"...

it's not every day that it happens to me,

My love for white, nature, simplicity and sensuality

have all been answered right here...

( even though I prefer brunettes as you all might know )

Beautiful palette of white, gold and my favorite is when you

can see a peace of heaven in the blue sky...

Simplicity is sometimes a genius act...

a perfect shoot by a perfect "Bride"

makes want to create :)

Flash-back

Rita Saardi Private Garden Collection Summer 2006

I like being a flower girl....

I don't like being a modern girl....

Fashion should be all about fun...

Fashion is sometimes everything but fun...

I'm glad that I'm always having fun doing it,

even when my fingers are bleeding and

my back is aching...

today I'm working on a special project that

I can't share with you for the moment...

but soon enough

and it reminded me of this...

I sure am "The Flower Girl"

and for those who prefer conceptual overdone

and overworked ideas...

just keep walking don't stop at my station...

I'm proud to be a "romantique"

Let me Be...

There are days when I just want

to listen to a nice record

relax and let myself flow...

everyone should do this from time to time...

it's the best feeling ever...

Can't wait...

Nine première in Paris 3 Mars

I can't wait just to see the décor and the costumes

and of course to drag my husband with me

to see a musical

he will do it cause he is secretly in love with

Penélope Cruz so....

What a lovely surprise...

My little bra is becoming a Diva I landed a sweet collaboration thanx to this tiny thing...

I'll tell you more soon, for the moment it's shhhh...

Soma Mag Cover THE "Charlotte Gainsbourg"

Editorial by Photographer Martin Vallin

Fashion Editor Emma Thorstrand

I was so happy to discover this today...

first of all I really like Emmas work & editorials...

I was glad to discover Martin Vallins world

he has a beautiful blog by the way

check it out the link is on his site...

and

Soma Magazine...

The fact that the cover is the lovely

Charlotte Gainsbourg

made it sweeter...

one more fun thing is that I once had

a "stage" at Lars Wallin in Stockholm in 2004...

yes I was his trainee :)

so it's extra lovely to share a picture...

If I was a Coppola...

Most of you would have guessed that I

wrote "if I was a Coppola" to finish

the sentence like this:

"I would be directing Kirsten in

Marie-Antoinette in Versailles"

But I would like to add

that I would have had a dad

who made something as extraordinary as

"The Godfather" become available on

my DVD shelf....

Me a Godfather fan... eh

YES....

Aren't you???

plus who wouldn't like her own father

directing her in a masterpiece

playing the daughter of

Monsieur Corleone

( Al Pacino not just anyone...)

and being the "cousin"

and lover of

Vincent

( do I need to remind you that

Vincent is no other then

Andy Garcia.... )

ok this is tooo frustrating....

Rita Saardi, Svensk Form summer 2005 Stockholm

Back in 2005 I used to make things just for

the fun of it, just because I wanted to...

Today over dinner we were a couple of girls all

four of us working in fashion

talking about how aggressive and dishonest

the fashion world actually is

at least here in Paris...

we had so many horrible stories to share...

how is it possible that in a field where

people are supposed to be creative open minded

and rule breaking there is nothing

of that left today anymore.

We even shared some racism stories...

yes some people in fashion are true racists,

true old-fashioned and conservative

people who don't want to

"mix" with others...

In the end of the evening I was giving

one of the girls an advice

and I heard myself saying

" don't force yourself, don't follow any rules

just have fun, remember why you're

a fashion designer and just have fun"

and then I thought I should tell this to myself more often...

to all my friends in fashion

to special girls

Tina, Kinga, Nadine, Eve, Valentine...

Don't let anyone break your spirit

for sure the bitches are outnumbering us

but we're too smart to let them win

shake them off you, punch them,

kick them, bully them out,

do whatever you want

but don't ever give up

your dreams

don't ever sell your soul

stay focus and most important

HAVE FUN...

This is how it feels...

It feels like the beats in this song when you're

being creative

you feel your blood rushing through your veins...

it's an excellent feeling...

( your head is spinning like

Marie Antoinette, only she from champagne

and mine from concentrating on small

fabric pieces in my hands :)

I'm working on a special project,

for the first time I'm creating for someone else

"officially" ,

it's complicated ( you have to deal with others...

some are too professional

some less don't know which is worse

I'm so used to be by my own )

but it's a nice collaboration

an ultra feminine fashion house

with an open minded

and human Head Designer...

of corse I can't tell you more about it...

but I just felt I needed a break

from all my lace :)

thought I'll write a couple of lines to

share this feeling...

my back hurts

but the rest is good :)

froufrou for life
