marsala: delicious wine and Pantone 'Colour of the Year'


It is finally here, Pantone's choice for colour of the year 2015 has been published. And in all honesty, it doesn't come as much of a surprise. We have seen burgundy wines, reds, aubergines, crimson and each and every possible shade of red in the SS14 fashion shows (don't miss our RED trend update for AW14). After a 2014 tinted in calming, pastel lilac, (a.k.a. Radiant Orchid), it was time for a fiery, vibrant, strong colour, and Marsala is just that.

Por fin está aquí, la elección de Pantone como color del año 2015. Y sinceramente, no resulta del todo sorprendente. Hemos visto tonos vino borgoña, rojos, berenjenas, carmesí y todas y cada unas de las tonalidades de rojo en los shows de PV14 (no os perdáis el avance de tendencias en ROJO para OI-14).  Después de un 2014 teñido de un relajante lila pastel (alias Radiant Orchid u Orquídea Radiante), tocaba el turno a un color fogoso, vibrante y fuerte. Y el Marsala es precisamente eso.


A mixture of deep red, warm chocolate brown and hints of purple, Marsala promises to be the perfect touch to warm up every corner of our lives in 2015. This is not the first clue that we have from the strong influence and comeback of rich, warm tones. Every make up brand has created a range of brick reds, warm browns and rusty coppers, and celebrities like Kendall Jenner have contributed to popularising the 90s reddish brown look again.

Una mezcla de rojo intenso, marrón chocolate y toques de morado, el Marsala promete ser el toque perfecto para dar un aire cálido a cada esquina de nuestras vidas en 2015. Esta no es la primera pista que hemos tenido de la increíble influencia y retorno de los marrones ricos y cálidos. Todas las marcas de maquillaje han creado una gama de rojos ladrillo, marrones chocolate y cobres oxidados y celebrities como Kendall Jenner han contribuido a popularizar el look de los 90 con labios en marrón rojizo.


Couldn't be happier to see this colour as Color of the Year by Pantone, it was time for a rich and powerful colour, and nothing is more powerful than a strong red, inspired by wine and topped up with earthy tones. The most feminine hue has been proclaimed Color of the Year; welcome to the Marsala era.

No podría gustarme más ver este color como Color del Año de Pantone, Le tocaba el turno a un color rico y poderoso, y nada lo es más que un rojo fuerte, inspirado en vino y coronado con tonos tierra. El tono más femenino es Color del Año; bienvenidos a la era Marsala.

will it beard project



Beards are always awesome. They started becoming a fashion thing a couple of years ago, in fact, here is a post from 2011 commenting on the timid uprising of the trend. Three years later, razor businesses gone bankrupt and books written about it, beards have become object of desire, admiration... and design!

Have a look at what photographer Pierce Thiot and wife have established as theme for their Tumblr page "Will It Beard". An absolutely beautiful, funny and enjoyable project that is definitely worth having a look at.

Las barbas son siempre geniales. Comenzaron a tornarse "accesorios de moda" hace un par de años, de hecho, he aquí un post de 2011 comentando el tímido alzamiento de esta tendencia. Tres años más tarde, empresas de cuchillas de afeitar en quiebra y libros sobre el tema publicándose, las barbas se han convertido en objeto de deseo, admiración... ¡y diseño!

Echad un vistazo al objeto que el fotógrafo Pierce Thiot y su mujer han tomado como tema para su página de Tumblr "Will It Beard". Un proyecto bonito, divertido y que hará disfrutara tus ojos y a tu mente.





Very much in tune with the gorgeous model chosen by designer Trina Turk to present the AW14 collection.

Muy en la línea del atractivo modelo elegido por la diseñadora Trina Turk para presentar su colección de OI-14.



Here, have a laugh:

Ala, echaos unas risas:



Fancy growing a beard anyone? Follow your gut! ¿Alguien se apunta a dejarse barba? Sigue tu instinto!

Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Tumblr, Pinterest, ... do we really need any more social networks in our already overly exposed, social life?

Michelle Phan for Dr Pepper


First things first, happy New Year everybody!

And now, quickly moving down to business: in my last post/review of 2013, I opened talking about the YouTube revolution that started in 2013 and will boom in 2014, and closed with a reflection on how 2014 will sure be a year of changes.

you saw it here first: Snapchat + fashion designers



Going through some old Fashion Week reviews, I realised I never commented on a Mashable article that surprised me. It is no news that the Fashion Industry has been partnering with social media for a while now, benefiting from its immediacy and broad reach.

Well during New York Fashion Week, back in September, designer Rebecca Minkoff revealed exclusive pieces of her collection via an unusual app; Snapchat.
