LadyBohemia — Kristina Viirpalu RSS

Tomorrow is going to be so exciting... I've been invited to a press trip to Estonia, to the fashion show of one of my favorite designers in the whole wide world; Kristina Viirpalu. Last spring Kristina's show was something out of this world, a great gatsbyesque fanfare of unique creations. So my whole body is positively tingling with anticipation... The only thing ready for tomorrow morning  - which is more than in my usual repertoire - is that this silk embroidered Parisian dream will share this adventure with me. In fact, every time we travel with this bag, it loses a few pearls and gets just a little bit more worn out and ragged around the edges.. And I love it more and more for every sign of our experiences shared. I'm glad it isn't shiny and new. Nor am I. But what the heck. We've both got  character ♥. ~*♥*~

Welcome to the roaring twenties my dear readers! Let me spoil you ...with Kristina Viirpalu's s/s 2012 collection, which I absolutely love. In the heart of Tallinn's Old Town the Iida House, a beautiful old four-store building, was very much alive and swinging to the sweetest coolest jazz, underground bars, and of course, that Charleston.

[caption id="attachment_8921" align="aligncenter" width="500" caption="Poker, anyone?"][/caption] What an evening we had. After days, I'm still speechless. So, the photos can do the talking. A cascade of them. Voilà, Kristina Viirpalu's Joséphine collection, inspired by Joséphine Baker: Very Great Gatsbyesque. Too beautiful. All of it. ~*~ I loved just about every piece of this collection. And the charm and gusto with which it was presented... Purrrrrrfect.

This was the most magical, beautiful, spirited fashion show I've seen in years. So rich an experience it was, that sleep was out of the question. So our little but lively group danced the night('n day) away to champagne, oysters, diamonds, sunglasses, even football at some point... Thank you Kristina Viirpalu, for inviting me to this beautiful experience. I shall remember it for a very long time ♥. ~*♥*~

Tomorrow, I've been invited to a fashion show to Tallinn, Estonia! Best of all, this is a collection by Kristina Viirpalu, one of my favorite designers. There will be 1920s style music and dance as the collection is inspired by Joséphine Baker and that era. I'll be staying in the old town, in a charming hotel that dates back to the 14th century. All the rooms are decorated individually with antique furniture... There's an Italian restaurant and a wine cellar...  A sauna, steam room and a jacuzzi... PurrrRrrrrrrfect. I'll post pictures of all the delicacies that cross my path...♥. And stories of little adventures I might encounter on the way... If I end up swing dancing on the table, I promise you a photo of that! ~*♥*~
