I know, I know… I’m way behind all the Fashion Week coverage, still I wanted to share some of my favourite London FW impressions…
Time during fashion weeks is CRAZY…it almost feels like being in a race against your blogreader, trying to keep up with all that new fashion material each day. There are so many new pictures and inspirations, it’s total information overload – in a good way! So, while all the attention already shifted to London, I am still catching up with New York! Voila, a few of my personal highlights from NY fashion week…
This picture by Jak & Jil is definitely today’s highlight! I like how it all blends together: Heidi Mount’s dark make-up, the pattern of her Alexander Wang romper, the pops of blue in the background and the tattoo like arm painting kept from the Rodarte show. Speaking of which, Kate and Laura once again managed to create a truely fantastic collection with an incredible mix of materials, lots of deconstruction and an “out-of-this-world” vibe. Check out the pictures of their collection here.
The first impressions of the new Alexander Wang collection for Spring 2010 really surprised me: here I had expected yet another grunge inspired collection with lots of black leather and sexy denim. However, Alex turned to a more sporty theme, without compromising his usual sexiness, though. Inspired by his collaboration with the GAP earlier this year, he stayed true to the all-American sportswear spirit. He used lots of khaki and grey, red and white rugby stripes and brown leather, all spiced up with some pretty hot leopard peep toe booties. There was one particular elemenent of his collection, which immediately caught my attention: aviator inspired pieces like an aviator cap, a great jacket and little applications all in caramel-brown leather.
I always had a thing for the aviator look, so I started thinking of how to work the look for the upcoming season already…
So what do Parisian girls REALLY wear right now? While strolling through the streets (and shops) of Paris I spotted some hot trends of fashion’s ueber-city.
German top model and natural beauty Toni Garn photographed by Knoepfel and Indlekofer for the September issue of German Vogue.
On this shot she is wearing this season’s IT piece and Les Coupines’ FAVOURITE: the sequined, striped sweater with sharp shoulders. Decarnain manages to combine three key trends in one single piece without overdoing it. Unfortunately, this Balmain piece is well out of our reach, but we love the alternative by French brand Sandro.
See the rest of Toni’s editorial here.
So the leo’s back AGAIN for fall. Only this time without the Dolce-Gabbana-boldness and much cooler! Queen Isabel (Marant) showed a new leo-look paired with black rather elegant jackets and studded booties.
