Many local newspapers had online personals in the mid 1990s but were bought out by these big dating sites. From some of the comments it really shows how desperate dating sites are for money that they even advertise in comment sections. You have a much better chance going to local events and you will probably spend less than what you would spend on an online dating site. Other apps have indicated that they might actually move closer to Facebook. For example, Bumble, founded by a former Tinder executive, said they had already reached out to Facebook regarding how to collaborate. And, “One thing everyone seems to agree on is that…

Interview with Denitsa Todorova – the Bulgarian Audrey Hepburn
I open Denitsa’s Instagram profile and I see elegance, I smell a warm frothy cappuccino, I feel the sea breeze and the scent of freshly picked flowers. Who is she? A stylish, 27-year-old woman with a special appreciation of everything beautiful (including Audrey Hepburn). Beauty as a state of mind. She sees it as a way of expressing oneself, as well as something only you can see. And as for her personal style – she thinks it is the signature of each person that stays much longer after you are no longer around. We met on a sunny February morning for this sweet conversation. In order to fully enjoy it,…

Anna Wintour – the Woman Behind the Dark Sunglasses
Anna Wintour is among those people who wake up really early in the morning and stick to a strict routine in order to succeed. With time I’ve learned that this habit doesn’t work for everyone. However, she is one of the shining examples of a disciplined person. Anna is well-known for being the editor-in-chief of American Vogue for 32 years and counting. Mainly because of “The Devil Wears Prada” most of us imagine she is the person that everybody in the fashion industry should be scared of. Her bob hairstyle has become her signature and she hasn’t changed it for years. And as for the fact she rarely stays without…

Todor Tumbalev: “I am not a designer. I’m a public figure that makes clothes”
This post is also available in Bulgarian. It’s a hot August day in Plovdiv, Bulgaria. I’m headed to Todor Tumbalev‘s store – he is a Bulgarian fashion designer I know from the fashion design courses we both attended. He gives me a warm welcome and from the beginning, I’m more than sure that an interesting conversation will follow. Enjoy! Your brand’s motto is “Modern spirit in classic shapes” and I can see that from each piece of yours. What’s your opinion on fashion trends? I am all for conscious fashion. I’ve been a fan of the blazer for years and I wear it on all sorts of occasions. It will…

An Outfit in White & Beige
As soon as I see a wide-legged pant, I immediately think of the photo of Coco Chanel here. She’s wearing a striped shirt, black trousers, a belt, and white shoes. As simple as that. Unintentionally, today’s post is inspired by this look. The difference is in the color palette and the length of the pants. However, the overall vibe is quite similar – it has that effortlessly chic feel that I love so much! The pants are actually a skort. I purchased it from a small boutique in Sofia. The fabric and the cut are more than perfect for the season. Also, it has a belt that ties at the…

Digital Fashion Week – Is That the Future of Fashion?
Since the World Health Organization announced the pandemic, more and more people have started talking about the old and non-working model of fashion shows which prioritizes quantity over quality. Truth is, we have gone a long way since Charles Frederick Worth who is believed to be one of the founders of haute couture. For this period fashion has grown from an unattainable dream to a way of manipulating everyone to buy more and more. The last few months have helped to slow down and help people come up with an adequate solution. Gucci decided to go seasonless, showing only twice a year instead of five. Yves Saint Laurent, on the…

The Stripes: An All-Time Classic
It’s Wednesday morning and I’m having what’s left from my cup of coffee. It’s time for the next Zoom meeting. As we all wait for everyone to tune it, I notice something peculiar. All of us women, including myself, wore a different version of a striped shirt. We did not arrange this beforehand. It’s not so weird at all! Here’s why: To this day the striped top is within the most popular pieces. There are SO many variations of it that they can make your head spin! The first iteration of Breton („from Brittany“) sweaters was designed with tightly knit local wool to protect fishermen from biting winds and water.…

Next In Fashion & Making The Cut: The Designer Competitions Go Beyond Traditional TV
As a great fan of fashion design competitions, I’ve watched not a small amount of them. From the era when Michael Kors was a Project Runway judge, to Next In Fashion on Netflix and Making The Cut on Amazon Prime. In today’s article, I’m going to talk about the differences in both realities and what new things they provide us with. A New Era In Reality TV Shows We are currently witnessing an interesting change – the movement of such TV shows from conventional TV to video streaming platforms, such as Netflix и Amazon Prime. Project Runway is no longer hosted by Heidi Klum, but by Karlie Kloss. Consequently, Heidi needs…
