Artists Recreate Traditional Slavic Wreaths as Floral Headdresses

When traditional Slavic wreaths morph into gorgeous floral headdresses, it proves fabulous fashion comes in many forms…

Many cultures lose some of their traditions as time passes, but with a little artistic ingenuity, there are ways to keep some of the most time-honoured traditions alive.

Photographer Ula Kóska and makeup artist and stylist Beata Bojda collaborated on a photo series featuring traditional Slavic head wreaths specific to Polish culture and history. But Bojda used her background in styling and makeup to put a modern spin on the wreaths, and the results are stunning.

The Polish artists collaborated on this beautiful Slavic-themed photo shoot in order to highlight traditional Polish folk culture. Wreaths and flowers played an important part in both religious and secular ceremonies such as marriages, funerals, festivals and Easter, and the wreaths in the pictures were made according to traditional methods. This involves tightly twisting paper into flower shapes, a technique that comes from the Polish “Opoczno” area in the heart of the country, and as you can see, the effect is nothing short of stunning.

The Perfume Edit: I Love Juicy Couture

Image Size 3264 x 2448

Every day for the past few weeks I’ve been wearing my new I Love Juicy Couture perfume, and in that time I have, quite simply, fallen in love with it.  I love Juicy Couture is the latest version of the perfume ‘I Am Juicy Couture’ which was launched in the summer of 2015.

I Love Juicy Couture is both self-confident as well as mischievous. The theme says, “I don’t love lightly, half-heartedly, passively, timidly” and endorses a woman of playful nature. Top notes are of Mandarin, taffy apple and red currant. In the heart lies tiger lily, jasmine petals and pink honeysuckle. The end notes include patchouli, whipped amber and musk.

This perfume is sheer heaven. It’s no secret that Juicy Couture is one of my favourite fragrance lines – there’s not one I don’t love, and thank goodness I Love Juicy Couture doesn’t disappoint.  It’s everything a perfume should be, sweet, floral and playful, with a fantastic longevity that will see you through an entire day.

While I Love Juicy Couture will be celebrated and loved by die-hard Juicy fans (yes, I’m one of them), I’m certain this new release will entice a whole new fan-base. There’s not been a day in the last few weeks that I’ve not received compliments on my perfume – a pretty good sign right?!

The Packaging… superb! A gold, black and pink cheetah print with a crystal-esque encrusted lid – it’s chic, playful and totally in line with the fragrance. The bottle has been designed with the philosophy of ‘dress to kill and love with full heart.’

The notes: fruity, sweet and white floral is enchanting with just the right amount of citrus. The floral-fruity composition is engaging and musks captivating.

Staying Power: The fragrance will shower you with a long-lasting unconditional love when it comes to staying power. Three sprays on the neck and wrist will be more than enough for the whole day. Silage is tremendous and is the icing on the cake.

I Love Juicy Couture

 

I Love Juicy Couture will prove to be the must-have summer perfume – so good it’s damn near edible.
