Hello Lanvin

Well i had a feeling Paris fashion week was going to be the highlight of all fashion highlights but man did i under estimate the ridiculous amount of amazing fashion coming out of it. Let's just jump right to it.

LAVIN. Holy Norah. Alber Elbaz is a genuis. What a triumphant evolution of what he is known for (black tailoring and ruffles) to fabulousness in extraordinarily embellished ensembles that have raised the bar for ever. 








What do you think? The emerald green dress is my favourite i think, but then again, given the chance i would lovingly give a home to all pieces in this collection.

Well done Elbaz you are certainly the King of Paris fashion week right now.

Check out the rest of the collection here.

Tot ziens, and as always photos are from style.com.

Balmain Balmain Balmain.

Balmain Spring 2010 RTW, need i say more. Just enjoy.











Christophe Decarnin has paved the way for the reinvention of shoulders and day time sequins. With this collection he brings that all over again BUT with the added bonus of a strong military emphasis and leather in the best kind of way. I woke up this morning to this collection and i have been on cloud nine since. It is the best feeling when you really fall for a collection like this.

Check out the rest here. As always style.com has provided all the beautiful shots.

Tot ziens.

London Called.

Well well well! I know! I know! consistency is definitely not my game right now, but boy oh boy have i had an exciting morning. But i will get to that later. Right now it is all about London fashion week, and i have to the winner was and always will be Burberry Prorsum in it's triumphant return to its native home. Celebrating 25 years of London fashion week, Burberry was the perfect closer. Just check it out for your self.






A military style has been referenced in quite a few collections, and the combination here with nudes and metallic greys, Christopher Bailey has really cemented his name in chic-ness with a twist of ah-may-zing. And let us not forget the males, bring on more tailored, yet destructed ensembles. Now is the time to prep-it-up with attitude.

Check out the rest of the collection here.
Tot ziens.

I am here, just a little busy - #2

Hi everyone, well it has been an age since i blogged you may think, but man has that wait been worth it. i have so much to show and tell it's not funny. So where do i start? I think i'll start with finishing off new york fashion, yes? yes.

1. Bibhu Mohapatra



Bibhu Mohapatra said of his debut Spring collection "I wanted everything to be light, airy, and wearable" and boy did he achieve that. I love the very simple easiness of the collection, the very sophisticated colour palette, and boy when they said orange was going to be a big colour this year did they mean it. It is literally coming out all over the spectrum of designers. I like this guy Bibhu, he will definitely be one to watch. Check out the rest of his collection here.

2. Calvin Klein





I have to admit i was not overwhelmed with Francisco Costa's collection this season. There were elements i did like though. The first third of the collection was predominantly white, soft and organic. I can dig this, it's very breezy spring attire. But then, personally it got a little too tie-dyed and billowy for my tastes. The hints of sherbet colours was an added bonus towards the end, and i especially like the use of the charcoal, but like i said - not my favourite this season. See the rest of his collection here.

3. Jeremy Laing









Oh hi Jemermy Laing, i love you. For some reason Mr Laing has slipped under my radar for quite some time. Not many words can describe how much i love his aesthetic but the

You know what i think i will end it here for today, it's always good to leave on a high note and boy do i need to do some school work.

Tot Ziens.
