Fashion Shows Fall 2017 Couture Jean Paul Gaultier

I was sitting in Cortina d’Ampezzo, a friend whooped it up in Klosters, and not so far away there was Val d’Isère. Except that none of us were really in those jet set–y ski destinations, which always sound like the kind of places where Roger Moore–era 007 (may he rest in peace) would have dispatched a cat-stroking nemesis. Rather more prosaically, we were in seating sections named after those resorts in the ever-so-slightly stifling heat of Jean Paul Gaultier’s Rue Saint-Martin studio, awaiting his Couture show to start.

Never let it be said that Gaultier doesn’t love a theme. Some of his most monumental collections of the past were worked to very specific ones, indeed—be it tribal tattooing and fetish piercing, or the clothing worn for religious observance by Orthodox Jews. This time it was ski culture, focusing on the glamazon on the chairlift, and the bejeweled and bedazzled snow bunny. Even before the show started, it was plainly evident, what with Gaultier’s program displaying his old-school penchant for naming each look with a suitably saucy wink: Gstaad the Way It Is, L’Avalanche, What You Looping At, et cetera.


Jokes, as we all know, can be a potent vehicle for something deeper, and so they were here: Humor in the service of heightening the sincere commitment of Gaultier to his couture—I Look Like I Don’t Take It Seriously But Really I Do! For all of the campy excess on his runway, glance to the balcony above and you can see his atelier gathered together to view their (oftentimes very impressive) handiwork. And for every RuPaul’s Drag Race quip (one look was dubbed “Sasha Velours”) there were some exquisite pieces that riffed on Gaultier’s iconic moments, but look just as good now: the slouchy cardigan jacket embellished with blue and white Fair Isle patterns created out of pearls, say, or the fairly abbreviated Aran sweater dress crafted from mousseline ribbons.


Tailoring, as usual, took center stage. There was the off-kilter bias cutting of his le smoking, or a camel coat deconstructed to slip-slide with a swoosh across an ivory knit body, both looks being pretty darn chic. That’s a phrase one usually wants to avoid like a skier hitting glassy ice when discussing a runway show, but in this case, it’s entirely appropriate.

Kate Spade Spring 2016

Oh, hello, blog! So nice to meet your acquaintance again. I figure NYFW is the perfect time to jump back in. While I must admit, I have major envy of everyone/everything there, I'll blog from my apartment in Los Angeles and pretend I'm seeing these beautiful clothes IRL in New York. Kate Spade is my favorite for many reasons, one of them being the whimsical, childlike (without looking like something you found in the back of your closet from when you were 12 years old) and utterly delightful designs. I want one of everything. So much pink. So many flowers. So many patterns. I would like to focus on the bags, especially the ice cream truck bag. I MEAN. Could that be any cuter? No. The answer is no. While I'm desperately yearning for Fall, this does have me excited for Spring as well. Le sigh.
 YOU GUYS LOOK HOW CUTE IT IS!
 Well, this is perfection. Absolute perfection.
Kate Spade bangles are the best bangles. 
 See what I mean about the flowers?
While I am absolutely obsessed with the ice cream truck bag (and the carousel bag - see below) this is the one bag I could see myself using daily. Preferably in black, but I'll take it! 
SEE? THERE IS A SEA HORSE. Ugh.
 OH HONEY.
 Give me this coat, or give me death!
Can we talk about the daisy outfit on the left? I can't deal.
 Yes, this is a peanut bag. I die. I DIE. Death is upon me. (The coffee has really gone to my head, guys.)
 Doesn't this make you want to run off and get a popsicle? Nope? Just me. Okay. Whatever.

Gia Ventola: Whispered Beauty- NYFW Highlight

Halfstack's NYC based writers: Meaghan Elder & Cindy Arroyo

 bring to you a highlight from New York Fashion Week.

Up and coming designer Gia Ventola showcased her first collection for SS15 this New York Fashion Week. With a flawless mix between hand-crafted jewelry and the luxurious clothing collection, Gia makes a statement. Gia Ventola got her start after attending Parson’s The New School of Design in the late 90’s. Although worldwide success was not immediate for Gia, for years she worked alongside many celebrities such as Britney Spears, Oprah, Cher, and Destiny’s Child. After appearing in magazines, news articles, fashion websites and radio and television shows Gia decided it was time to give it another go. So ,18 months and a lot of hard work later it was time to debut the collection.



When you first walk into the showroom on Spring Street, you’re greeted by the utter elegance of the collection. Gia Ventola, former Olympic trained field hockey athlete, introduces the collection with pride and honor. With a pleasant balance between night and day looks, natural fibers, and black and white shades, the collection has many interchangeable features. Whether it be the unique jewelry, detachable silk collars, or even the garment being reversible, the diversity does not go unnoticed.
“It’s all about individuality,” Gia mentions while admiring her accomplishments that fill the room.

Her signature (an O with a slash through it) has been made a statement throughout the collection. Not only in the jewelry but within the clothing as well. Each zipper pull has its own small O dangling from the slider. Even the closures on her blouses and dresses incorporate the O designs. With inspiration from her athletic background, Gia also designed unique, shoelace-like accents on each garment.



Not only does each piece have its own personality, but the versatility is endless. Most garments, as previously mentioned, are reversible (yes reversible!) and can even be worn, so-called, backwards. . Tops can be worn with or without the collar, inside out or even backwards. With a color story of blacks and whites, many of her pieces can be instant classics. What modern day woman doesn’t want a closet full of items that can so easily be mixed up and changed around?

Whether you have a formal cocktail party or are just headed into the office for work, this collection holds everything you need for a day-to-day basis. With mixes of silks, chiffons, satins and charmeuse fabrics, this collection radiates elegance. Double-sided, hand pleated silk accenting garments, and hand fraying amongst the collection really accentuates that the beauty is in the details. Gia, having 20 years of experience in the industry, knew exactly what she wanted from this collection; timelessness. As she explained how she wanted each garment to be something her customer would keep in her closet forever, never going out of date or style, you could look around and fully understand and relate.



Having worked with Destiny’s Child, Britney Spears, Nicole Kidman, Pink, and many others, her years of experience have paid off.  Gia gave us some insight on what it took to bring this collection to life, explaining that all the prints were hand drawn by her and the jewelry pieces were hand made. Little things such as that is really what makes you appreciate fashion and why we are crazy enough to pay the prices we do. We are paying for quality, such as the finest fabrics that Gia used, we are paying for one of a kind pieces and we are paying for appreciation.

For this collection, Gia really wanted to do something that was perfect for her. Something she truly understood and appreciated herself.

Customers in the past have repeatedly told her they were only interested in her designs, so she really strives for something that is 100% her own. Finally being able to show her collection for fashion week, was a dream come true for Gia. And one much earned. Whispered Beauty explains who I AM. Each customer, each consumer, each lover of fashion can experience who they are through her outstanding designs.  “I AM who I am meant to be.” Gia Ventola has climbed to the top. Without hesitation, she has made her mark. Watch out, because we have a fierce, and empowering new designer on the market.

Fashion designer Marc Jacobs is the manipulator of the century! He controls Miley Cyrus Kanye West and more

My name is Angel Barta. I am a fashion designer. You have seen my work .



Designer Marc Jacobs has been stealing my ideas, my style, my photos and my concepts for five years. My unique fashion designs have enticed Marc to reproduce my creations across the brands he has his hand in. 
  He wants to be the most powerful person in the fashion world by using my ideas without my permission.
  Jacobs wants to hide me and the fact that he has been using MY ideas from the fashion industry. Since he discovered that my uniques style sells well, he plans to carry on hiding me and stealing my ideas as long as possible.
This has been going on for almost 6 years. So this year I decided to start my blog about my  story to let the truth be known by everyone and to finally force Marc to leave me alone. Just because he is rich and famous does not give the right to trample on an innocent young girl.

This is a video with me: 

 
 



Here is my latest english interview for VICE.COM 






How does he even know about Angel Barta?



  It started at the beginning of 2008, when I was only sixteen years old.
I met Marc Jacobs at a gym in Paris. He noticed how special my style was from the moment we first met. He invited me to his Louis Vuitton fashion show and the dinner after. He has been stalking me since then.
He promised he would make the biggest top model out of me, saying he could sell anything with my face. He said I was the first woman he fell in love with (!). He enticed me with me talk of love, marriage, kids and a top-model career. I believed his every word! While I didn’t want to be a model, but a fashion designer, I couldn’t help but be seduced by the promises of such a powerful fashion designer.

    In the summer of 2008 Marc invited me to his office. He did a private casting, only for me, and he took my measurements personally. This is almost unheard of in the fashion world, so again, I thought it was evidence of his intentions for me.
This meeting at his office was mentioned in New Yorker Magazine’s September 2008 edition. Click here, to read the article.

  For two years we spoke for hours a day, every day. Jacobs wanted to know everything about me. He became obsessed with my personality and the unique style I represent. Katie Grand (stylist at many big brand, Marc's best friend) said in an interview that the design team had to listen to MY Cher compilation CD for 2 weeks while they were designing the LV collections. Marc was wearing high heels and a dress and walking around the room acting like he was Angel Barta!! That is obsession.

  Jacobs said my energy was vital for him. He told me he needed me because with my talent he could be the new Picasso. He said he would write his name on fashion history with golden letters! He copied my photos in his campaigns and replaced his long-time photographers with MY favorite photographer Steven Meisel. Since 2008 Meisel has shot all of his Louis Vuitton campaigns.

 Jacobs copied my style without my permission for his fashion shows: Louis Vuitton Spring 2009, Marc Jacobs Spring 2009, Louis Vuitton Fall 2009, Marc Jacobs Fall 2009. Each was a huge success! Jacobs became addicted to the success my fashion brought him.
He told me he loved me. He said the next time he designed he would tell the fashion world about the role of my designs in his work. He told me he would make the biggest fashion designer out of me and we would work together officially. I believed that he would enable me to work in the fashion industry. I’ve never received anything for my ideas but nice words and empty promises.








A few examples on how Jacobs copied my ideas for his own line.

 




                              
















He copied my ideas for Dior as well







He copied my photos once for Dior and once for the Marc Jacobs campaign




























Jacobs kept torturing me by saying he loved me, sending me love messages, poems, he wrote love songs and asked famous singers to sing them. He made singers (i.e. Lady Gaga, Miley Cyrus, Rihanna, Taylor Swift) wear the clothes he designed based on my stuff.










After several seasons of this, I realized that MJ was just using my talent for his own success. I noticed that he hacked my cell phone. He read all my text messages, emails, and he was even checking my Facebook account! He contacted my friends from fake accounts and sent them perverse messages.

By the end of 2009, I recognized that he had never loved me. I told Marc:

"I am deeply disappointed. You lied to me! You only wanted my ideas for your own success. You knew it from the beginning that you would never help me. You’d already planned that you would only fool me and use my talent and hide me from the fashion world… so no one would know that your successful collections were MY ideas, that the style originally came from me! I never want to talk to you again! I will not give you my ideas anymore! Forget me … forever!!!!"


So from 2010, I consciously withheld my ideas from him.

I wanted to cut him out of my life. He kept calling me, texting me, but I never answered. I stopped giving him photos. I wanted to forget him, but he refused to leave me alone. He wrote me every day, saying he would KILL HIMSELF if I didn't answer!

Jacobs did not want to let me or my ideas go. He did not accept the fact that I wanted to break up with him. He became more and more obsessed with me and did many crazy and cruel things to steal my ideas and keep me a secret. He is afraid of my talent being seen for what it really is: MINE. He doesn't want me the fashion world to know about me so he’ll do anything to hide me.

Here’s where it gets radical. He still stalks me. He has hired people to follow me all day and take photos and videos of me for him. This way he can continue copying whatever I wear. Marc Jacobs started to make fashion videos, copying my life, my memories, my moments. The models have to act and pose the way I do. They have to copy my every move.

How does Marc Jacobs copy Angel Barta?

  He copies every single detail of my photos. If I post a photo online, he exhausts it in his own designs. He takes one aspect of my photo for this shoot, then another aspect for that shoot, then another for a brand campaign, then yet another aspect for a layout, etc.
I design and make clothes. My photographer and I choose unique settings to showcase my work. Jacobs copies everything about my photos: the concept, the background, the colors, the pose, the mood, and worst of all, the very outfits I’ve designed!

I was silent for five years. I believed he would either own up to his copycatting or forget about me and let me live my life. Unfortunately, he has done neither. He became more and more obsessed with me and the success my ideas brought him, so he did some crazy things. 
A couple of months ago I started spreading the truth about Marc Jacobs on the internet, via this blog. By the end of 2013, more than 555,000 people have been exposed to the truth.

Obviously, Jacobs and his friends want me to shut up and accept the fact that they are exploiting my talent. While they enjoy the success of my work, I am completely ignored by (and outcast from) the fashion world.

 

 


   




 


 

Here is a video where I talk about Paris and my feelings on the first day of a trip. I had just arrived to Paris and had already sent his people after me.


 


I made this video in the summer of 2012. I was wearing my own design: a striped Angel Barta dress. That summer, polka dots were the must-have trend. Guess what! Only two months later Jacobs designed a collection full of stripes… every single outfit was striped! 


 







That day I was wearing a wide belt with glitter, so in October 2010, Jacobs copied my idea for Louis Vuitton. Almost every model on the catwalk was wearing the same type of glittery belt with colorful tops.



Marc Jacobs, the Manipulator






 
Marc Jacobs is a manipulator, a control-freak, a puppet master. He wants to control everyone in the public eye. He controls Miley Cyrus, Lady Gaga, Terry Richardson, Kanye West and more. 

Jacobs controls many celebrities. He tried to control Justin Bieber, but he could not. 
His latest and most visible right now: Miley Cyrus. The shocking VMA performance of Miley Cyrus was the idea of Marc Jacobs. 
His best buddy, Terry Richardson, directed her new nude video clip. CLICK HERE FOR MORE DETAILS

Kanye West, one of Jacobs’s pals, has stolen a Hungarian song recently. Hungarian brand, Omega is going to sue Kanye for using their music without permission… such behavior exhibited and condoned by one Marc Jacobs. Lie with dogs and you’ll get fleas, Kanye.

The music "Gyöngyhajú Lány" (translated as The Girl with Pearly Hair) by Hungarian band, Omega, in 1969. Many listeners have identified the sample used towards the end of the new track that Kanye West premiered on (almost) 66 buildings and Saturday Night Live this year. Kóbor János, a singer of Omega, claimed he plans to sue Kanye for sampling Gyönyhajú Lány (The organs from New Slaves) and not crediting them. He already hired an international lawyer to start the proceedings. They can't sue Kanye yet because it was only played on walls and on SNL and it's not official, but if it makes it to the album, Kóbor promised he will step in the ring.  Click here to listen to both songs.

Kanye and Marc Jacobs are thick as thieves. They even collaborated when Kanye designed trainers for Louis Vuitton. He flies all the way to Paris to watch every MJ show from the front row seat given him by the devil himself. He even sings the songs Marc asks him to. You remember Runaway by Kanye? It was Jacobs’s idea, even the clip fulfilled his fantasy.

Jacobs used his manipulation skills to persuade Kanye to steal that Hungarian song and convinced him he wouldn’t be caught because he hasn’t been caught for stealing from me. 

Jacobs wants to control everything and everyone. He’d love to get his puppeteer hands on even more celebrities. He has friends and former colleagues working at almost every big fashion brand in the world. He is able to present my ideas to Stella McCartney, Dior, Nina Ricci, Chanel, Prada, Ungaro, Balenciaga, Dsquared, and Dolce&Gabbana with the help of his friends (namely Katie Grand, Camille Micheli, Nicholas Ghesquiére, Peter Copping, and the like) and have them accepted and praised as his own. To his delight, to his success… and to my horror.

Eighteen-year-old Lily McMenamy had to walk topless on Jacobs’s latest fashion show in New York. She said Marc told her how to hold her breasts in one hand. The night before the fashion show Marc did not let her go home from his office until 2am. (They were practicing 'the topless show walk' together)
Read my article with details: If you want to walk the Marc Jacobs runway, all you have to do is to satisfy his perverse fantasies.

Marc cunningly appoints his friends and former colleagues to high positions at many different fashion brands, making sure he has a tool to use at each influential company

Take Camille Micheli, of Dior. She used to work at the PR Louis Vuitton, with Marc Jacobs for more than 10 years, before MJ got her a cushy " Creative- Jewelry Director" job at Dior in 2009.

Or Peter Copping, currently with Nina Ricci. He was Jacobs’s right-hand-man for 10 years at LV before he got the creative director job at Nina Ricci in 2009, thanks to MJ. 

PETER COPPING






Or Nicolas Ghesquiére, who was appointed the new creative director of Louis Vuitton in 2013. He replaced his friend, Marc Jacobs. Jacobs isn’t that far out of the picture, though, as Ghesquiére is also one of his puppets. Ghesquiére used to work for Balenciaga. Katie Grand and Camille Miceli usually sit front row at Balenciaga (although they both work for LVMH). They have connections there so Marc is able to secretly control Balenciaga through his undercover people. For more on this, click here.

Katie Grand


Katie Grand supports Marc in his cruel game against me. She works for many big brands and influences fashion magazines. She is the editor of LOVE and POP Magazines. Jacobs can copy my ideas and, with her help, spread them all over the fashion world. With Katie Grand, he copies my ideas not just for Louis Vuitton but also for Balenciaga, Prada, Miu Miu, Giles, Ungaro, Versace, Dolce&Gabbana, and more. 

He dictates who will become top models, he decides who will be the next IT girl, who will be in most of the campaigns… not just in his own ads, but in nearly every brand. Puppet master!

Miuccia Prada with Marc Jacobs.

                      



A few examples on how Jacobs copied my ideas
 for Prada and Miu Miu... 























Marc Jacobs "the soul-terrorist" (for spite)


Marc Jacobs does not want me to have the energy to let the truth out so that people will know that all of his creations were originally my ideas. He designs my style, my soul, everything that is me!

I wrote a 500-page book about the first two years of my relationship with Marc Jacobs. The title is "The Secret Love Affair in Paris." I was hoping MJ would leave me alone after reading my book. I wrote honestly about my dreams, wishes and feelings. 

Jacobs used the information in my book against me, in true Jacobs style. 

He gave all my specific dreams to other models from my country in order to break me. Jacobs's cohort, Katie Grand, cast Hungarian girls in all her key shows and shoots. For example, a Hungarian model, Vanessa, has been the face of Prada for 3 seasons already, this is the first time anyone has had such long Prada contract. 

The models have to dress up in MY style and copy me and my poses in their editorials. Everywhere I look I must face the photos he’s copied. I see my ideas in magazines, in campaigns, and on the streets. 

Here is my video in front of the Louis Vuitton tent during Paris’s Fashion Week. This is what I feel every season before his shows, knowing that the models are inside fitting the clothes that were originally my ideas... and I… I have to wait outside...unwelcome to shows ripped from my imagination.

 


Here are a few more examples. Each model featured in these editorials is Hungarian. Jacobs cast them in hopes of retaliating against me. They had to copy me in the photos, of course. Before meeting me, Jacobs never favored Hungarian models (if he’d even ever been to Hungary). 







Both campaign and editorial features Hungarian models with green chairs


The Hungarian model is wearing Miu Miu, Louis Vuitton and Prada outfits.(designed by MJ)
















Marc is more than pleased to show me how other girls easily get success in the fashion world through him, meanwhile he isolates me from the fashion industry.

on how he pressured me with the Hungarian models, click here.



Marc Jacobs and Pharell Williams are best friends, they have officially worked together more times. Jacobs got more well-paying design contracts for Pharell ( Louis Vuitton jewellery collection designed by Pharell for example) . Jacobs copied my designs with Pharell for Adidas. Pharell did a collection for Adidas in 2014 November.


Why is Marc Jacobs torturing Angel Barta?



Jacobs is obsessed with the success that he earned by using my ideas. He does ANYTHING to steal my ideas. He stalks and tortures me because he wants me to give up my goal of becoming a recognized fashion designer.

He wants to exhaust me, break me… end me. 

He can't stand the fact that I refused to do the humiliating things he asked me to. (He asked me to do many disgusting things in order to be a model.)


Marc Jacobs the sex addicted Porn Baron


A topless model drinking Mojito during the fitting at Marc's studio 

Marc Jacobs made his acting debut in a new film "Disconnect." He plays Harvey, a character he describes as 'sleazy' who lures underage kids off the street with the promise of shelter and income, for web-chat porn and prostitution. (Sounds eerily familiar to me…)

'In the end, I’m really not a bad character. I’m actually the one who is protecting them in a way. I’ve taken them off the streets and they don’t get harmed. They’re doing something that is virtual, though they are talking about sex. But you can look at it two ways,' he explained. (text via dailymail)

His role in the movie is so ironic considering Marc Jacobs’s perverted online behavior in real life, too. In my 2010 book, I told all about how much he loves cybersex and about the many sexual messages he sent me for years. He has been harassing me since I was sixteen years old. Jacobs is playing himself in the movie ... his truly perverse alter ego.

Watch Marc Jacobs ask a 15 year old kid if he "jerks off" in new Disconnect clip to get an idea of his true character. 

 




Pretending he’s gay has gotten him publicity (his favorite thing), but look closer. 
Why is new model Cara Delenvigne everywhere lately? Delevingne’s rise to modeling stardom can be tracked back to Marc Jacobs’s puppet, Katie Grand, who frequently puts Delevingne in (and even on the cover of) her magazine, LOVE. 



at Marc Jacobs' office Cara Delevingne hung out with Marc's pet bull terrier, Neville. A photo was uploaded to Neville's own Instagram account yesterday, showing Cara tied up in a cage. The caption read: "@caradelevingne is mine and none of you can have her!"





Cara Delevingne with Marc Jacobs                                        Kate Moss with Marc Jacobs

Kate Moss (the other woman who is so passionately French kissing Jacobs) is on the cover of the same issue of LOVE Magazine. It was Jacobs's idea to launch the LOVE Magazine and he (not-surprisingly) put Katie Grand as editor in chief. The models featured in the magazine have to execute all of his perverse fantasies in the editorials.


 




In my other article, "Marc Jacobs is obsessed with women," it seems that he is not really gay




What does Marc Jacobs think about my articles where I expose his dark side? 

Marc Jacobs sent me a life-threatening message.

I ask everyone who comprehends the magnitude of his deception to help me by sharing my story on Facebook, Twitter, wherever. Please let the truth be known! 

Please share this
