November 5th, 2018 / by Alina Aliman / in: Dazzling stories / No responses

To be completely honest with you… I have a date with more than 15, because this 21st edition of V for Vintage 2018 will gather, in two days, dozens of talented Romanian designers and I cannot wait to meet them all. I will need a lot of coffee, a better camera, a lot of space in my phone storage ...

It will be hard to choose my favourites this year from all the talented designers at MATERIA 2018 fair. And now, more than ever, it will be very hard for me to decide if I will take home a bag, a pair of beautiful shoes, a necklace made out of leather, earrings or some multi-functional ...

Take a walk on a wild side: Flash Jewels & Flash Tattoos 

October 3rd, 2018 / by Alina Aliman / in: Dazzling stories / No responses

I have to say that I made quite of a sensation when I appeared, in a casual Friday afternoon, with a big black skull & roses tattoo on my left hand. “OMG! This is for real?” I was asked, in a second. “Was it painful?” And all the fuss was not because I do not look like the kind of ...

August 14th, 2018 / by Alina Aliman / in: Dazzling stories / No responses

Sometimes, in a very busy day, if I close my eyes for a second, I imagine myself in an Amalfitano little town, wandering the streets in the search of the best gelato. There, all the worries went away, it’s hot and everything smells like a huge lemonade, I am wearing a comfortable and chic kind of ...

An architectural piece of jewellery needs a cool outfit to go with. A perfect summer look always requires a spectacular pair of earrings. Therefore, there was no better way to put in the spotlight the two fashion brands from Cluj, MONOM & Crina Bulprich. Everything has started as a play. ...

Pink and sequins. Glitter and so much fun. These were, for short, the main features for Alexandru Ghencea “Bald Barbie” collection, presented at Timișoara Fashion School (MDVTM) Gala. “To be under-rated is not necessarily the worst thing can happen to someone. It may give us a kick that push ...

Follow Ionuț Piscureanu collection for… memories from the future

July 30th, 2018 / by Alina Aliman / in: Dazzling stories / No responses

He’s just a smile and a big heart. And, when we met, in a rainy morning after Timișoara Fashion School Gala, for the pictures, he was worried that he missed a deadline for a project with… a couple of hours. “I take all the things seriously and I will try to do my best with the next ...

Magical touch: a story about beautiful dresses from Alina Cernătescu collection

Their showroom is full of light and cozy. And, in a very hot day of Bucharest, surrounded by beautiful dresses and interesting sketches, in the interior of a house with old history and amazing arches, the time stood still for a moment. A moment long enough to admire Alina Cernătescu brand dresses ...

Pshycho the new Kitsch – meet the young designer Smaranda Buc

July 20th, 2018 / by Alina Aliman / in: Dazzling stories / No responses

I didn’t choose the headline. The designer did. Because she had a good idea on what’s going to express through her entire collection. I met Smaranda Buc backstage, before the UAD Gala 2018 and she was kind enough (even nervous about the show) to explain me the main lines of the moodboard of her ...
