Can't Get Enough of LV

I got inspired to do this post when I was doing the graphics for an article of Noelle Page's about Louis Vuitton. I don't know when she is going to post that, but anyway, I was thinking that it is better that I let you see this picture as a sort of a teaser.

The concept is high fashion. I hope you all like it. Cheers!

Accusations & Assumptions

When we first saw the comment of a certain Rebekah on my previous post about Vittorio, we disregarded it as another nasty comment that we got use to receiving from other imbeciles and know-it-alls.

However, perhaps noticing that she didn't catch any attention, she left another comment apparently to drive her so called point (less). And boy did she catch all of our attention this time.
So let's play detective.
For the sake of argument, let's follow Rebekah's instructions:

1. Open a picture in Photoshop
2. Click on the Filter tab (it's at the top, as she specified)
3. Click on the Artistic option
4. Click Cutout
5. A new window will pop up. Ensure to take the # of levels to 8 and the edge simplicity to 0.

...hhhmmm...
Uhm, Rebekah dear, since you have got the answers and explanations for everything, would you kindly (in a form of another comment perhaps) enlighten us on why the images we got by carefully following your instructions don't seem to measure up to what Vittorio provided us?

NOTE:
PUTTING THE PHOTOSHOP'ed IMAGE ON TOP OF THE ORIGINAL AND FADING IT TO A CERTAIN TRANSPARENCY LEVEL WON'T GIVE YOU THE SAME RESULT AS THAT OF VITTORIO.

Leaving constructive criticisms and comments are always welcome. After all this is a free world. But then again, when it reaches a point where the integrity of our posts and our characters as well gets questioned, we are left with no other option but to defend ourselves.

And before you click on that comment button to post another hate message, why not just come up with better images (we suggest that you actually do comparative tests on it though) and show us that there is more to you other than your big and dirty mouth.

But until then, we suggest that you just keep your unintelligent nastiness to yourself.

Vittorio Blew Our Minds

It is always refreshing to get in touch with long lost friends. And even so called ones. There is something palpably sweet reminiscing with the times you've spent together. But one fateful day, a way too familiar name flashed on my ONLINE WINDOW which made my mind zip.

Suite.Designers

For all you Stardoll newbies around, he (or she) may not be that familiar to you... just try to ask around then and I'm pretty sure you'll get more than a handful of good... and not so good recollections.

This blog has promised to give the best illustrations today's technology can offer (and the farthest our designing prowess can reach). However, I for one would agree that doing magic in Photoshop is such an arduous task. Not for the faint of heart and the short tempered as they say. 

Having associated with Vittorio (Suite.Designers) in the photo making biz, Isabella and I decided to ask for some tutoring. Tons of exchanges after, we finally convinced him to offer his services to us again. Being the obsessive compulsive us, we of course wanted a preview.

And this is what we got.

This Stardoll looking illustration is more than enough. Details so crisp you can actually touch it! It certainly looks like a high def version of Stardoll's graphics!

It's official. We are fans!

You will be seeing more of his works in the coming days and we can't wait ourselves.

Feast.

Vittorio... like this delectable Louis Vuitton Murakami Speedy Bag, you truly blew our minds!

Are you an ICÔNE?

The BOLD and the BEAUTIFUL

The bold and the beautiful. The naughty and the brave. The fearless and the unconventional. Today's must have accessories and fashion pieces are big, bright, and not for the faint of heart.



There is beauty is contradictions. Contrast and silhouettes, the mix of classicism and modernism, of jewel colors and earth tones, of matte and shimmer. Just like the revolutionary period of art.



Be fashionably Proud. Endorse a graphic look when you don color-blocked and patterned dresses. These make great option when you want to comouflage or enhance certain body parts or features. Vertical patterns can make you look longer and leaner. Try a dress with a dark band of color at the waist area to give the illusion of an hourglass figure. Shoulders are on the fast track to being the next body hot spot so a structured dress can highlight a strong pair.



How else will you be able to bring color close to your face but to wear that fierce looking hat. You don't necessarily have to be fashionably loud, but a simple addition of a hat in a look-at-me color will instantly give your wardrobe a much needed fashion boost.



Ask any bagaholic person you know and they will agree that a tote can and will break or make any outfit. Nobody should have enough of it (bags), and there's no excuse considering the choices available to be drooled on. Be sure to pack a polished punch with a colorful and structured tote or clutch to finish off that uber chic ensemble.

Fierce Holloween

TRICK or TREATING HAS ALREADY COME TO AN END. AND IT CLOSED WITH A BANG.THE FIERCE AND THE FABULOUS OF STARDOLL COUNTRY MADE SURE THAT 'TIS SEASON IS GOING TO BE WELL CELEBRATED AND REMEMBERED.
Isabella.Arci & noelle_page's Fierce Holloween*

THESE PAST FEW DAYS EVERYBODY HAD AN EXCUSE TO SPORT THE MOST ECLECTIC OF ENSEMBLES. FROM THE MOST CREATIVE TO THE DOWNRIGHT SCARY, STARDOLLIANS BROUGHT IT ALL...

EACH AND EVERYONE PUT THEIR LAYERING SKILLS TO THE TEST. CLOTHING AFTER CLOTHING OF RICH FABRIC FLEW OF THE CLOSETS OF THE MOST CREATIVE IN STARDOLL.
OLD AGE GLAMOUR WAS THE THING FOR SOME. REMINISCENT OF THOSE GOLDEN YEARS, BALL GOWNS, FUR AND FEATHERS EVOKE MYSTERY AND DRAMA IN ONE UNFOLDING. WHO SAYS HOLLOWEEN COULDN'T BE AS BEAUTIFUL?
WHIMSICAL BEINGS ABOUND IN ALL SHAPES, COLORS AND SIZES. OLD HOLLOW'S EVE IS NOT JUST ABOUT BLOOD AND GORE. IF YOU JUST LET YOUR IMAGINATION TAKE IT'S RIGHTFUL PLACE, YOU ARE SURE TO BE COMING UP WITH THE MOST MAGICAL AND ENCHANTING DO... EVERYONE WOULD SURELY TAKE NOTICE. WE DID. BLACK IS THE TRUSTED FORMULA. DARK, GLAMOROUS AND SLEEK, THIS CLASSIC COLOR CAN EVEN GO BEYOND NOVEMBER 1ST. IT'S ENOUGH JUSTIFICATION BY ITSELF.
WE HAVE SEARCHED HIGH AND LOW FOR THAT ONE SINGLE DOLL THAT WOULD EVOKE THE SPIRIT OF HOLLOWEEN. THE DAY OF THE DEAD. SOMEONE WHO COULD GO BEYOND MISS ISABELLA'S DEMONIC POSSESSED EYES...
... AND WE FOUND HER.
SIPETY'S LOOK WILL HAUNT YOU IN YOUR DREAMS. LITERALLY AND FIGURATIVELY. LESS EFFORT. MAXIMUM IMPACT. BRAVO!

BY THIS, STARDOLLIANS, YET AGAIN, HAVE PROVEN THAT THEY ARE A FORCE TO RECKON WITH. CREATIVITY AND FUN IS ALWAYS A TREND AND A LOT OF YOUNG SOULS NEVER FAIL TO AMAZE.

WE CAN'T WAIT FOR NEXT YEAR'S CELEBRATION.

CIAO!
