Something about Fashion: Miu Miu

From the creator/designer of Prada comes the new brand Miu Miu. This new brand has been in fashion for over two years now. I read an article from the Financial Times Special Weekend about Mrs. Miuccia Prada and found it to be captivating, that I decided to analyze the brand based upon what the article mentioned.

This is what it looks like:















The analysis is still not complete, but it is basically fnished.
I will scan the article and post it so that everybody can read it.

Keeping an eye for the nouvelle,

YO SOY MEXICANO

You know, there are just some times that I feel a little bit of everywhere.
Nevertheless, YO SOY MEXICANO (I am Mexican)!
This is an old mariachi song that in one way shows how we truly feel about ourselves.

We might not be perfect, but damn we are proud to be Mexican. Not all is well in my country, but I love it for what it is, what it has, and where it will go to.
I live in other countries that have given me shelter and much more, but Mexico has taught me to love life, my family, and friends!!!

And I just wish to share this with you. If you look for the mp3, look for "Yo Soy Mexicano" by Jorge Negrete or any other mariachi.
If you are in Mexico either in Mexico City or Guadalajara or just close to a band of mariachis ask them to play this song for you. Drink a tequila for all those Mexicans living outside of their country!

YO SOY MEXICANO

Yo soy mexicano, mi tierra es bravía
palabra de macho que no hay otra tierra
más linda y más brava que la tierra mía.

Yo soy mexicano y a orgullo lo tengo
nací despreciando la vida y la muerte
y si echo bravatas, también las sostengo.

Mi orgullo es ser charro valiente y bragao
traer mi sombrero con plata bordao
que nadie me diga que soy rajao.

Correr mi caballo en pelo montao
pero más que todo ser enamorao
yo soy mexicano, muy atravesao.

Yo soy mexicano y por suerte mía
la vida ha querido que por todas partes
se me reconozca por mi valentía.

Yo soy mexicano de nadie me fío
y como Cuauhtemoc cuando estoy sufriendo
antes de rajarme, me aguanto y me río.

Me gusta el sombrero echao de lao
pistola que tenga cacha de venao
fumar una hojita tabaco picao.

Jugar a los gallos saberme afamao
pero más que todo ser enamorao
yo soy mexicano, muy atravesado.

Besides, September is the "MES DE LA PATRIA". We celebrate our Independance Day on the 16th of September! This is a time of going back to your roots, to remember what we fought for in the past in order to have peace and freedom in the future.

"Entre los individuos, como entre las naciones, el respeto al derecho ajeno es la paz."
Translation: "As with individuals and nations, respecting another's Right (the right to govern themselves) leads to Peace.
