Always Effie (Kaya Scodelario for ASOS)

I'll write this post in English in honour to her. I loved her since I first saw her with her bad girl look. As she was the sister of a legend she was supposed to be it too. She began to influence his brother's friends life and she finished influencing the audience's life. Her style was as strong as her mind with her dark laced dresses, fishnet stockings, tutus, rock tees, broken clothes, dark nails and of course her smoky eyes and her Docs. She followed fashion on her way as a rebel. She wasn't just a pretty face or a dummy, as her mother said, she was special: She knew it since she haven't even born, she felt a huge energy inside her. And when she was born saw in her face that she wouldn't be as the other ones.

As Effie said, love makes us weak and being scared and all those supernatural forces can easily chase you because they know you are gonna be happy and they don't want you to be happy. I think that although love makes you weak due to being subjugated by someone that makes you get crazy, fashion makes us become stronger, you chose what you wanna wear to express yourself and your daily feelings. It makes us special as women, because it is a world where we are the fucking queens. "And if people don't like your art: FUCK THEM OFF!"

And I will always remember her leather jacket, her ripped tights and her braids dancing at the disco. Because that was my Effie, everybodys Effie.

Pontus Véteris

Este lunes fue aquí en Pontevedra la pasarela Pontus Véteris. No es gran cosa pero fue la excusa perfecta para que todos los amantes de la moda de la ciudad se reunieran en un mismo lugar. En una ciudad tan pequeña un evento de semejante calibre enseguida se llena de gente, tanto curiosos que se acercan por allí para ver lo que se cuece como fashionistas que lucen sus mejores galas ante la gente para que todos los reconozcan como tales. También sacan tajada del asunto los periódicos y la televisión local para demostrarle una vez más a la provincia cuál sigue siendo la gran capital. De todas formas, la moda estaba allí y aunque los desfiles no fueran gran cosa sirvieron para fomentar la gran importancia que tiene hoy en día en nuestra sociedad. Las casas que desfilaron fueron Florentino, Siempre es Viernes, Montoto, Miguel de Luna y Araújo Piel.

This Monday has been here in Pontevedra the Pontus Véteris fashion show. It's not a big deal but it was the perfect pretext to join all the city fashion lovers in the same place. In such a small city a show like that is always very crowded, from inquisitive people who go there just to see what's happening to fashionistas who dress up with their bests outifts to show everybody what they are. Local newspapers and television also use it to show one more time to the province which is the big capital. Anyway, fashion was there and even though the shows weren't as good as the Pret à Porte ones they let us be aware of the big importance that it has nowadays in our society. The brands who took part were Florentino, Siempre es Viernes, Montoto, Miguel de Luna and Araújo Piel.
