PFW SS15- Chloe & Valentino; Sweet Dreams Are Made Of These
Fashion week, yes, its over. Thanks heavens for that. I wasn’t a fan of this round of fashion weeks. After New York where the boredom set in, I tuned off and went away on vacation, returned to even more of a circus, and it felt like it went on forever. We’ll get to that later. Despite…

Fashion Week- Here Come The Boys.
I didn’t catch much of the fashion month after New York because of life interruptions, I didn’t see any shows in London, *hangs head* and Milan, and I just about managed to catch one show in Paris. Of course I’ll make time for Nicholas Ghesquiere’s debut for Louis Vuitton, following the exit of Marc Jacobs.…

The Californication of Saint Laurent.
Hedi Slimane is having a tantrum and has thrown all his toys out of the pram because not everybody loves Hedi. We missed that memo. But I’ll give Hedi points for tailoring, not very big points because he was a menswear designer therefore tailoring should be his strongest suit, but points no less. Here’s the…

PFW, SS13- Valentino
Valentino makes a girl’s head spin and heart sing with their lovely frocks season after season, like the cherry on top of the perfect cake. With a Spring-Summer collection inspired by Rome it couldn’t have been more exquisite. There was romance, a beguiling beauty with sweet charm, and an encapsulating innocence. In every piece, even…

PFW, SS13- La Parisienne
La Parisienne; she’s chichi and elegant, sensual yet subtle, and a fashion aficionado to a T. It’s in her DNA, often imitated but never truly bettered. Her cuts are slick, feminine and romantic. Her look is soft and beautiful, with a hint, just that hint, of loftiness in the layers; she knows she looks good…

PFW SS13; The Morning After…
The morning after the night before…its the fashionable walk of shame but you know, a girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do. First things first she has a life. This look is completely dishabille with that laid-back sensuality; the tussled mane, the shirt half tucked in, the dress from the day before maybe, the…

PFW, SS13- Volume and Ease.
Its controlled volume with chic ease. Collections for ss13 have shown easy pieces, well mostly if we’re not counting the leathers and furs being thrown at us, but Ease is a good look. Teamed with volume however, it can be a little tricky so here’s where we can pick up a thing or two from…

PFW, SS13; RTW-Couture
Its Ready-to-Wear with an element of couture. Formal and edgy, it cuts one fine silhouette. Not as rigid as couture but no less buoyant in style. Flawless detailing, even in a little leather maroon dress, chiffon and fringe as seen in Gaultier. Irreverent fit, even if a little eponymous, the beautifully adorned shorts and belted…

PFW SS13; La Parisienne et Le Weekend
It may be the weekend but she’s not about to throw on a pair of jersey slacks and an old t-shirt, no thanks. Her look is casual luxe and effortlessly dress up. It’s easy the maxi that flows with the wind as she revels in the splendour of The Tuileries, the shorts, buttoned down shirt…
