See-through & breath

-

Flimsy and low density knits are playful and nice to the touch materials, widely used in women clothing. There is a extensive list, chiffon, georgette and gauze, a variety of colours and prints; always revealing a little and hiding a little.
 
Although they been present in fashion for centuries, see-through clothing became very fashionable in the latter 1960's and again during the 80's tanks to punk and pop celebrities; but in the late 1990's the trend died down. And again since 2006, see-through fabrics (include gossamer, silk, rayon or nylon) have been featured heavily on high-fashion runway.
 
Nevertheless am not a big fan, I like the layering effect of some translucent pieces or to wear them in the right dosage and of course with the proper underneath. Like this strappy top perfect for a summer walk. Green wedges, animal print clutch and a large camel foulard just in case.
Tejidos transparentes, ligeros y agradables al tacto, usados en toda clase de prendas especialmente femeninas. Distintos materiales, chifón, tul, gasa, crepé en variedad de estampados y colores, siempre mostrando un poco, solo un poco.
 Las telas traslucidas han formado parte de la moda femenina durante siglos, en la segunda mitad de este siglo cobraron relevancia durante la década de los 60's y después en los 80's de la mano de la tendencia punk y celebridades pop. Aunque en los años 90's, cayeron en desuso, la naturaleza cíclica de las pasarelas y la industria de la moda las ha traído de vuelta y desde el 2006 las vemos de nuevo con frecuencia.
Aunque nunca he sido gran fan, me gusta el juego de superposiciones a los que estas prendas se prestan o bien usarlas en pequeñas dosis sobre todo en el verano. Como este top estampado, perfecto para una salida informal, con cómodas cuñas verdes, clutch animal print, y solo por si enfría un poco, un chal color camel.

The cloud

I bring fresh showers for the thirsting flowers, From the seas and the streams; I bear light shade for the leaves when laid In their noonday dreams. From my wings are shaken the dews that waken The sweet buds every one When rocked to rest on their mother's breast, As she dances about the sun. I wield the flail of the lashing hail, And whiten the green plains under, And then again I dissolve it in rain, And laugh as I pass in thunder. I sift the snow on the mountains below, And their great pines groan aghast; And all the night 'tis my pillow white, While I sleep in the arms of the blast.  Sublime on the towers of my skiey bowers, Lightning my pilot sits;    In a cavern under is fettered the thunder, It struggles and howls at fits; Over earth and ocean, with gentle motion, This pilot is guiding me, Lured by the love of the genii that move In the depths of the purple sea;  Over the ril...

Nicely flat

Lots of them wore beige trench coats and those flat caps that made them look like boys who sold newspapers a hundred years ago. —  A.J. Cattapan   Flat caps were used in England since 14th century,  and their use was even mandatory for a while. This item became really trendy in the 20's, specially among workers and news boys, and was recently popularized by hip-hop culture.    This one tartan flat cap is form the traditional Obach Hat Shop in Barcelona ( http://www.barretsobach.com/ ) and is one of my spring favourites.       Las boinas planas pueden rastrearle hasta la Inglaterra del siglo 14th, país en el que su uso incluso fué obligatorio por un tiempo. En los anos 20's se volvieron populares sobre todo entre la clase trabajadora y los niños voceadores.       Esta boina hecha de tartan es de en la tradicional sombrerería Obach de Barcelona ( http://www.barretsobach.com/ ) y una de mi...
