DOYLE-licious

Style is a precious gift. That, we know. But most people ignore that it's not only a feature you find within stars, but one that you are born with. This takes us to "ordinary" people; ordinary because they do not get screamed at or asked for signatures. They are the true fashionistas of our time, those who simply have the skills to perform actual miracles on their looks.
Maive Doyle is not only a half-Irish, half-Spaniard student living in Gijón, Asturias (Spain); she is one of the "chosen ones", a person with the power of pulling any sort of garment off to the point of dazzling. Behold.


Having Irish blood running through her veins has, obviously, a lot to do with it all. If you take a look at the —genious— pictures you'll agree that there is actually nothing really "unordinary" about her clothing; and that is right fellas. Shirts, cardigans, skinny pants, shades, bags, coats, hats, vests, scarves... not a thing any of us cannot possess. But I've said she was born with IT. This is why. Maive can compose an outift with Way Farers, Fred Perrys and Birkins and look genuine, look like there is nobody else making their way through their life in this planet that can catch up with her style-rythm. And then we accidentally —though pleasantly— come to find a big word lately misused: VINTAGE. "Oh, la la, Vintage!", another term only few people can dream of uttering making a reference to themselves. But, ladies and gentlemen, Miss Doyle is once again one of those rare beings.
Envy would most likely be what she can raise from within yourself that time you have a first glimpse of her. Amazement is fase number two; and admiration is the finish line. I've won the race.

a SADISTIC world

You've already known soVIPzone for a while now. I have, since February, tried to provide you with the finest fashion selection possible having as the only tool my very personal and —I believe— good taste. This is the reason why all the greatest designers keep showing up around here. But my deep love for fashion won't let me stop at this. I'm back with a very fresh update; fresh for the product itself and for its designer. "Sadistic World" is the latest personal project from Fede, a young designer who calls home a little town near Madrid (Spain) while he goes to college in Valencia.


The project is only the beginning of it all, I hope, but this shall not mean his products are inmature as those who could be expected from someone in such a starting state of life; au contraire, for its own name is foretelling. Sadistic means "deliberate cruelty", which is exactly the punishment you'll be putting on your own back if you don't become the owner of one of his masterpiece shirts right away.



Sadistic's main line is made up by a series of designs having a boodoo doll as centerpiece of all the design's variations and backgrounded by the colors who we could call principal to the entire collection since they show up constantly: emerald and pink.
Born together with the main line, another one broadens up the sadistic boundaries as it gives its creator a design getaway to let his imagination fly freely. It is in this line that we can find a wider source of inspiration featuring style celebrities such as Lady Diana or Fede's own message tees and visual art.
But "Sadistic World" is, above all, about freshness. It breathes coolness and style through simplicity; because it is about reinterpreting the always-hot vintage ideas from a simple but, most importantly, very innovative point of view. And this is something soVIPzone appreciates most, the ability of combinig the lack of excess and the classics and updating them. We can definitely expect great things from the King of what I hope will be the "Sadistic Empire".
I was lucky enough to have found out about his creative career before the first set of orders was done so I ordered one myself. It is not in my possesion yet, due to time issues, but I can tell you that I selected the one with the green and pink bars and feauturing the signature image and the brand's name split on both bars. Really cool.

Now it's up to you. Do you dare to be cool? —I do.
