Happy Sunday my dears,

So how was your last evening? What did you do? I and darling Susan went to a special visiting and shopping on the Barnoff showroom.

Tamara who is nice to us with lovely hospitality - so many fruits, oh yes - considering we have a diet period - champagne, cake... 

The front row - The new collection!

Sophie's (Tamara's talented daughter) illustration on the Barnoff's top - among others this is my favorite... I need one of these!

More illustrations from Sophie. Totally cute... Tamara said the japanese pep is crazy about Sophie's art works. Well who would not love her creations?

Tamara with the Barnoff cake...

She was wearing her own creation - certain floral maxi dress from her summer collection - with a vintage Gucci jacket from cca. 60's-70's (not seen here but she almost always wears a pair of Converse. And at this time? There was no other way! Hah! Greyish Converse.) 

Unique!

Bit of still life - Susan's oversize black tote from Twenty8Twelve and my Furla "Alice in Wonderland" handbag...

We had a really really awesome time - special thanks to you, Tamara!

Hungarian Tales about Women - Barnoff Haute Couture 2011

The Hungarian Tales about Women were born from the unity of femininity, sensuality and love. The collection feeds upon traditional Hungarian motifs and redefines them along women’s pristine range of emotions. With the shockingly beautiful haute couture pieces, Tamara Barnoff encourages acceptance and openness.

Georgian born multimedia artist, Tamara Barnoff has lived in Budapest for 7 years. Besides her simple yet exquisite prêt-à-porter pieces made by using special techniques, she designs peculiar haute couture collections too.

“This is how I see Hungarian women, and I try to bring to the surface what is hidden inside: femininity, sensuality, acceptance, and love. This way, the woman becomes more vulnerable but beautiful at the same time,” says Tamara.

The new haute couture collection of the Barnoff brand was born from redefining Matyó motifs. The butterfly-like flowers as light as air, the beauty of silk, and the spring shades take us to an honest and mystical world full of emotions.
