Revista PATRONES

Patrones is a well known Spanish patterns magazine that used to be great (does anyone remember all the designer clothes? ), but for the last two years or so it´s been a real drab ... I did not interrupt my subscription, though, and had a good surprise in the last two issues - please note that here in Brazil we get our international magazines two or three months late. Take a look in the patterns I found inspiring:

A Patrones é uma revista de moldes espanhola que eu assino há uns cinco anos. Costumava ser uma revista de moldes fantástica, cheia de roupas de designers mundialmente famosos - Prada, Chanel, Valentino, Alberta Ferretti, Versace, entre outros - e não sei por que caiu muito de uns dois anos para cá... Eu continuei com minha assinatura - e aqui a gente recebe muito atrasada, uns três meses de diferença - e para minha surpresa adorei os últimos dois números!!! Tomara que ela volte a ser o que era! Dá uma olhadinha nos meus modelitos favoritos:   

PATRONES 323

I may be very much mistaken, but I think the lovely little green dress above is MiuMiu.

Se eu não me engano, o vestidinho mara acima é MIU MIU. 

PATRONES 324

I am not a fan of jumpsuits, but I loved the one above, totally 1001 Nights ! 

Eu não ligo para macacões, mas adorei o acima, super 1001 Noites!!

MANEQUIM 650

Manequim was very late this month and when it finally arrived I thought this issue  is different from the usual Manequim: the clothes seem darker, greyer, less colorful, the patterns seem cleaner, more classic, and although I didn´t count the previous numbers, I think there are fewer patterns in the June issue (there are 32 patterns: 8 blouses, 8 dresses, 6 coats/jackets, 3 waistcoats, 2 skirts, 2 pants, 2 lingeries and 1 jumpsuit).

I am posting the coats/jackets more as a treat for you people who live in cold countries and I would really like to hear what you think. And to me it is even a little funny to have this many patterns for clothes that to be totally honest, 80% of people living in Brazil would NEVER need... I love winter, I love winter clothes , I love coats and jackets, but none of the pieces caught my eye but the little kimono style coat (and to be quite frank, I don´t trust Manequim patterns that much to make such big projects using their patterns... )

All that being said, and keeping in mind that I do love minimal and classic shapes and silhouettes,  I am calling this issue the "dress and blouse " issue,  because I just loved, loved some pieces!

A Manequim chegou super atrasada e é bem diferente das outras: bem escura, séria, sem cor, mas esse estilo minimalista e clássico eu adoro. Adorei a matéria inspirada na Jil Sander, lógico, né? E gostei muito de uns vestidoe e blusas, especialmente o vestido branco da Mayane Neiva, absolutamente maravilhoso! 

These are the 6  coats/jackets:                      

                

The lingerie pieces are plus sizes.

I liked these three blouses below:

My usual favorite article of the month, the designer inspired spread. Only 3 patterns, but I loved the dress!

And 3 beuatiful dresses, especially the white one, which I think is stunning!

                                         

What do you think of the June Manequim?
