  • 🔥 After Schiaparelli is before Schiaparelli 🔥
The brand did not only write fashion history during the 30s but was glamorously resurrected by @danielroseberry recently (as beautifully illustrated at the #ExpoSchiaparelli at the @madparis until last Sunday). 
❤️‍🔥Roseberry doesn't only quote Elsa's works but pushes her provocations a little farther season by season as the current storm on Social Media shows. 
🤯Still sorting my thoughts on his super realistic, infamous animal heads of this season's Couture show - stay tuned for my point of view coming asap!

  • 🩷All you need is a pinch of Schiaparelli in your life🩷
Last week I visited the #ExpoSchiaparelli at the @madparis and let me tell you: It was a blast! And not only because lots of visitors were in awe of my shockingly pink look ⭐️
Hit the link in my bio to learn about how Schiaparelli made Surrealism enter the world of Couture - with a pinch of erotica AND a pinch of humour.

Is it a drawing or a dress?
Is it a Schiaparelli or a Cocteau?
Well, it's both and both and both 💙

  • Merry Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones, les chéris!
May your holidays be enchanting, relaxing and full of cookies, gifts, movies and joy ⭐️
After a pretty exhausting 2022 I am sending you some glimpses into out new (and pretty glamorous may I add) home together with some christmassy vibes (the shown tree decoration is from Versailles 💫) and a modest wish for a white Christmas 🤪
I'll be also going on an overdue digital detox and will be back with a very glamorous trip in January - am looking forward to surprising you very soon 💙

#VintageLifestyle #MadameFACTION
  • 💫Happy 1st Advent y'all💫
The most wonderful time of the year has officially begun and I don't know how you feel about it, but personnally I struggled this time to get into a christmassy mood somehow... partly because of the mental and physical fatigue the renovation brought, partly because of the seemingly endless to-dos of the moving process and partly because we've been (well, M has been) pretty sick this week 🤕😅
Well, while we wait for our full recovery I'll try to catch up on Christmas decorations AND the first family Christmas movie night 🕯🎄🍿

#VintageChristmas #MadameFACTION
  • Good Morning from our new home 💙
Yesterday we made it - our rather our bunch of fantastic friends and family made it! Thank you so much - you know who you are 🙏 
So we finally moved into our new home. It's obviously still a mess and we're currently living in an labyrinth of piled boxes. BUT: We are also enjoying THIS fabulous view of Vienna - in a Parisian way of course 💫
Also: Thank you SO MUCH for your support and wonderful messages through the last days here - they really helped to keep morals high 🤗

#VintageLifestyle #MadameFACTION
  • Well, it's been quite a ride 🤪
We are finishing most of our renovation and diy projects these days. And Saturday is the day: We'll be moving into our appartement 💪🏻
Sorry for the rather quite days and weeks recently, but in a few days I'll be showing you loads of nice - and finished! - vintage diy lifestyle projects - promised 💫

  • Good morning - the #RealityEdition 😅
I was wondering whether this picture might be feed-worthy or not and in the end said to myself: Ivana, this has been your life for over two months now, so it must have a place here 🤪
So cheers to creating your dream home no matter what sacrifices it takes 🥃
