Refined Minimalism- Baukjen Spring-Summer Collection
Basics are the bones of a closet, there may be secret weapons and special pieces but what truly makes a wardrobe have staying power are the basics, the jacket, the shirt, the dress, etc. So its no surprise that I find this refreshing collection from Baukjen very appealing, a refinement of the minimal and an…

NYFW SS14 Best In Show- Michael Kors
This round of New York Fashion Week has been pretty savvy, if a little disjointed without one overarching movement or theme on play, the variety worked for me; common sense with a dose of fun and functionality was mostly on display. My favourite shoe was Michael Kors. In fashion, especially during Fashion Week, rarely do…

NYFW Day 7. Technical Evolution and Sweet Colours.
Proenza Schouler. My only critic of this collection would be that it felt more Autumn than Spring- Summer especially with the outerwear, besides that this was up the usual distinguished standard that the boys have set and we have come to expect from them. Panelling, high waists, wide hems and a softened severe feel. Love…

NYFW Day 6 Pt.1 the 60s, On the Riviera, Sports luxe and a let down.

Lets go. Tory Burch Romy Schneider in La Piscine was Burch’s reference but there was an age of innocence…

NYFW Day 5 Pt 2. The Joker, Chilling at the Beach ‘n’ Pleats
Thom Browne. There’s always that one show that you can’t stop thinking about because even in the melee of shows it sticks with you. That show this season was Thom Browne not least because of his garish get up on the runway but also because in the midst of all that were beautifully crafted clothes.…

NYFW Day 5. Pt 1; Legends, Contemporary Luxe and Jenny Back on The Block,
Another day of goods, another strong showing, there were the resident legends, the newbies and zombies… Carolina Herrera The resident legend Madam Herrera. This collection was all about motion inspired by kinetic movements. It was all so fluid and romantic, as always. Pristine and flawless, the thinly striped fly away pieces gave a sort of…

NYFW Day 4 Pt2- Classiest Class Acts.
Lela Rose. You know what make a good show great? When the elements come together; hair, makeup, styling, etc. and of all the shows I have seen this round of New York Fashion Week, Lela Rose has been most impressive and not least because the hair, by Ted Gibson, and makeup contributed to what was…
