WEDDING DRESS: CARDIN vs BALENCIAGA

Christobal Balenciaga  spent his life refining the construction of his creations and introducing extraordinary innovations that allowed him to gradually evolve towards simpler, purer forms. Pierre Cardin prefers geometric shapes and motifs, often ignoring the female form. He's known for his avant-garde style and his Space Age designs.
Both wedding dresses by the designers have a triangoular shape, and appear almost similar. I love them both.

FALL FLOWERS

aequus-nox means that day and night are of equal length. During the equinox the solar rays are perpendicular to the Equator, a great circle passing through the two poles, daytime and night are of approximately equal duration.
Today begins the autumn, and in these 12 hours of light "I go where the winds know, broken and brief, to and fro, as the winds blow a dead leaf."(from Autumn song by Paul Verlaine)

 aequus-nox vuol dire notte uguale al giorno. Durante l'equinozio, i raggi del sole sono perpendicolari all'equatore e il circolo d'illuminazione passa per i poli, il giorno sarà quindi uguale alla notte.
Oggi inizia l' autunno, e in queste 12 ore di luce "me ne vado nel vento ingrato che mi porta di qua e di là come fa la foglia morta." (da Canzone d'Autunno di Paul Verlaine)
