Anna dello Russo and Alexander Wang striking a pose in the designer’s new Soho Store.

 

Of course this week has been all about New York Fashion Week!

1. Even if most of us just follow the shows on lifestream (thanks god for the social media revolution!!), it never hurts to study a little fashion week etiquette, right? Check out Queen Anna’s  10 Fashion Week  and 10 Frontrow rules!

2. Get an inside peek into fashion week life with Lane Crawford fashion director and streetsytle star in the making Sarah Rutson, who is writing an online diary for fashionologie.

3. Don’t miss out on Yvan’s hunt strategy during NY fashion week. Watch the 2 part movie by Alexander Klein here and here.

4. Alexander Wang did not only show us a great collection this week, but also opened his first Soho store. It’s sure to be the new fashion mecca for all the cool girls in town!

5. Leaving fashion week craziness for a second: Nowness has given us a very inspirational piece of work this week with Martin de Thurah’s Film I. A surreal mix of darkness and poetry and totally captivating!

Now the journey will continue in London…don’t miss out on the livestreams of Burberry Prorsum, Mark Fast, Topshop Unique…see the whole schedule here.

Happy Friday, xx

The PARKA

The parka has been quite a fashion darling this fall/winter…and now, New York Fashion Week just proved that it is here to stay!! Both on the streets and on the runways…

Joseph Altuzzara showed my favourite interpretation of the look! His inspiration?? Old pictures of Kate Moss wearing a parka over her evening dresses…WE LOVE!

So just throw your parka over a little, silk party frock and voila the perfect outfit ;)

LOVE II

Tommy Ton at NYFW shot Alaia booties

Just came across this snapshot from Tommy Ton at NYFW and think it PERFECTLY epitomizes urban Valentine’s Day romance;-).

Wishing everyone a LOVE-ly day!

P.S.: Those boots are Alaia!

Under the Wang spell…

After two last collections, I could not really relate to ( never really digged into the flannel + velvet based  “Wall Street gone sexy look” from last winter and the mostly white summer collection), I’m officially back under the Wang spell…I’m crazy about EVERY singel look of his cool girl uniform:

… head to toe black, leather pants + cropped jackets, pops of fur

…the long, slashed satin skirts (for me the ONLY way to work the maxi skirt trend!!) + heavy knits…

New York Fashion Week: The Essentials

3-sylvana-ward-durrett_nyfw essentials

New York Fashion Week has officially started! Feeling really inspired by Vogue.com‘s impressive line-up of ‘key players’ (including everyone from the designers to the models to the nightlife kings) sharing their fashion week essentials in a beautifully photographed story by The Coveteur.

Above: Sylvana Ward Durret, VOGUE director of special events

I’m very much into a suede pump these days, and this hot-pink pair from Manolo Blahnik amps up any look—and they’re comfortable.’

Gucci Westman, Makeup artist

My Chanel bag was a gift from my husband, David, but I picked the color.’

Right now, I just wish/hope/pray I’ll be saying the exact same sentence one sweet day (except for my Chanel has to be tomato red! Ha ha!)

12-harley-viera-newton_nyfw essentials

Harley Viera-Newton, DJ

I always have Hermès leather gloves because not only do they keep my hands warm, they are also the best accessory ever—two birds, one stone.’

5-sarah-brown_nyfw essentials

Sarah Brown, VOGUE Beauty director

I needed something that could fit invitations, stacks of WWDs, a notebook, perhaps an iPad, and, quite possibly, an extra pair of shoes. Alber Elbaz to the rescue!’

6-natalie-joos_nyfw essentials

Natalie Joos, casting director and blogger

This time of year, it really helps to have a nice, warm coat to run around the city and I recently found this amazing cashmere Céline in baby blue. It has big pockets that hold my cell phone.’

A Flip camera black Céline motorcycle jacket for day and night.’

Givenchy boots: I haven’t worn them yet, but I love them. I’m going to be so tall!’

Winter escape

Elin Kling hitting the slopes

Almost off to Austria for a much-anticipated skiing weekend! When browsing the web for a little inspiration I came across these holiday ‘snapshots’ of the lovely Elin. I think her JLindeberg total look topped off with a vintage fur hat kicks ass!

Really like the fact that she kept her outfit simple and sportive. People tend to go a little over the top on their winter escape. You know what I mean?

I have put together a collage of what I am (ideally) packing for my trip to the mountains. Be inspired!

winter escape outfits

Down jacket: Duvetica

Ski helmet: Bogner

Rising star: Elle Fanning

Ever since starring in Sofia Coppola’s newest movie Somewhere ( a must-see for everyone who loves Sofia’s poetic and intellectual aesthetics), little Elle is one the rise! With her young age of twelve, she is not only stunning in the role as protagonist Cleo, but has also given proof of an excellent fashion sense. She even made it on the cover of the December/ January issue of favourite French fashion magazine Jalouse.

 Untitled002

Elle was shot for a really cute editorial, which is not only beautifully styled, but above all refreshingly age-appropriate (which is most of the times quite tricky to achieve …)

What to look forward to in 2011: Isabel Marant S/S collection

Isabel Marant SS 2011_I

Isabel Marant S/S 2011 campaign

Model: Snejana Onopka
Photographed by: Karim Sadli

This is pretty much what I wanna look like in 2011. Isabel Marant’s S/S 2011 collection sums up all of my New Year’s style resolutions;-). Very simple.

Isabel Marant SS 2011_II

I am a huuuge fan fan of mixing simple cotton sweaters with flirty little skirts! Perfect oufit for a first date…;-)

Isabel Marant SS 2011_III

Yes, OKAY. Isabel Marant’s style hasn’t evolved so much from her previous collections. Even the shoes are the same. But do we care?

Isabel Marant SS 2011_IV

LOVE the red! And the hair. And the make-up…

Isabel Marant SS 2011_V

Too bad you can’t really see the jacket in this one. I found it in the buying folder this morning and let me tell you this is THE piece that will instantly lift up all of your summer staples and make any rolled-up-denim-outfit look très Parisienne. TRUST me;-).

Isabel Marant SS 2011_VI

Those mini-shorts are so hot! Okay, I honestly would not know where to wear these with a knit sweater (I mean, common!) but that’s what fashion is about: escaping reality.

Wishing you a splendid, happy & utterly stylish New Year!

Rue mag_I

Sorry for not updating more often, guys! But I am a working girl…;-)  So this post is dedicated to the place I spend most of my time at: le desk.

Work place I

I found these pics in the amazingly beautiful Rue Mag. The second issue recently came out and I LOVE every single page. It just boasts with inspiration!

Work place II

I definitely need an inspiration board. It would be overloaded with the most random snippets after just one week though…

Work place III

Work place IV

What does your desk look like? It deserves to look just as pretty as your closet;-)!

Conference room

This would be my ideal conference room! A pleasant, inviting place where everyone can just pop in and join the conversation;-). Creativity should start here.

Have a good Friday everyone!
