Dizajnerica Karla Špetić sve je poznatije ime na svjetskoj modnoj sceni, a baza joj je u dalekoj Australiji.

Silom ratnih prilika prije nešto više od dvadeset godina, Karla je sa svojom obitelji bila prisiljena napustiti Dubrovnik. Danas svojim drugim domom zove Sydney gdje gradi vrlo uspješnu modnu karijeru kao dizajnerica. Celebrity svijet već je u nekoliko puta birao upravo njez dizajn za crveni tepih, a njezine se kolekcije redovito predsatvljaju na tjedniam mode u Australiji.

No, ono što ju zanima više od takve vrste prepoznavanja jest osjećaj za ‘sporu modu’ te za stvaranje kvalitetnih održivih kolekcija. Svom dizajnu pristupa iskreno, bez razmišljanja o trendovima i kome bi se mogao svidjeti. Rezultat su bezvremenski autentični komadi u kojima se svi mogu pronaći. Osim vlastite linije odjeća, Karla je otvorila i concept store Our Store, u Sydneyju, zajedno sa suradnicima u sklopu kojeg promoviraju nove mlade dizajnere.

The color pink has been described in literature since ancient times. In the Odyssey, written in approximately 800 BCE, Homer wrote "Then, when the child of morning, rosy-fingered dawn appeared”. Pink was not a common color in the fashion of the Middle Ages; nobles usually preferred brighter reds, such as crimson. However, it did appear in women's fashion, and in religious art. In the 13th and 14th century, in works by Cimabue and Duccio, the Christ child was sometimes portrayed dressed in pink, the color associated with the body of Christ. The zenith of the color pink was the 18th century, when pastel colors became very fashionable in all the courts of Europe. Pink was particularly championed by Madame de Pompadour (1721–1764), the mistress of King Louis XV of France, who wore combinations of pale blue and pink, and had a particular tint of pink made for her by the Sevres porcelain factory, created by adding nuances of blue, black and yellow. While pink was quite evidently the color of seduction in the portraits made by George Romney of Emma, Lady Hamilton, the future mistress of Admiral Horatio Nelson, in the late 18th century, it had the completely opposite meaning in the portrait of Sarah Barrett Moulton painted by Thomas Lawrence in 1794. In this painting, it symbolized childhood, innocence and tenderness. #pink #syren ~ Syren preview ~ Photography @vladimirnkravchenko Styling & Set design @makersofbelief Model @lim_g_le2 @chadwickmodels
