The fishnet part deux

June 14, 2011 / No Comments

Yesterday, we had a look at how some of our favourite fashion girls wear the Isabel Marant fishnet tank…

As for me, I defenitely prefer it in black and that is how I would style it…for day:

1. Splendid simple black tanktop

2. Zadig & Voltaire shorts in turquoise

3. Metallic Repetto flats

4. Isabel Marant charm necklace via Net-a-porter

5. Balenciaga Giant Envelope clutch via MyTheresa

6. the one and only styleproduct aka. Bumble&Bumble surfspray ;)

…and at night:

1. T by Alexander Wang stretch skirt in taupe via Net-a-porter

2. Helmut Lang blazer – a true classic – via LaGarconne

3. Miu Miu lace-up ankle boots

4. Alexander Wang Marion Suede shoulder bag

5. YSL ring in black, ivory and amber …we just can’t get enough of the arty rings;)

6. Nars body glow

Now, that I think about it, I REALLY need this fishnet top!!! Too bad it is already sold out online…but I might be lucky and find it during Sales in Paris;)

Keep you posted on that, xx

MK signature style

April 1, 2011 / 1 Comment

Tee: Alexander Wang, sunnies: Rayban Wayfarer, bangles: Cartier

Sunnies: Rayban Clubmaster, tee: The Row, bag: Proenza Schouler PS1, watch: Rolex

Clutch: Miu Miu, belt: vintage

Clutch: Miu Miu, tee: American Apparel, shoes: Christian Louboutin

Boots & bag: Balenciaga, hoodie: American Apparel (men’s section), sunnies: Dior

Sharing some of my MK Olsen favourites. I can’t believe how old some of these pictures are! But still her look feels so relevant. From the XL beach waves to the multigringed hands and those slouchy tops with heels – she is definitely a modern icon. And will inspire the style of generations to come.

Off to Berlin for the weekend.

Have a good time out in the sun!

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!

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.

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

Under the Wang spell…

February 13, 2011 / 1 Comment

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…

Celebrate like Vogue Paris

French Vogue’s Masquerade Ball on the occasion of their 90th anniversary is already history! Thanks to Jak&Jil I came across these marvelous pics on icanteachyouhowtodoit.com and picked out a few favourites for you;-)! Bon anniversaire, Paris Vogue!

Les Coupines favourite Leigh Lezark

Vanessa Traina with Alexander Wang – they make such a cute couple, don’t they?

Tyra Banks pulling off the spider web

One of my favourites! I think this is so hippie-esque – definitely quite the vibe for the new season!

And here’s the party crowd! Enjoy:-)!

Super Karlie

April 15, 2010 / 3 Comments

Despite her 17 years, Karlie Kloss is one of the most desired models in the industry!! She is kind of omnipresent, but still I never get tired of watching her! This month she scored two amazing editorials in Vogue UK and Teen Vogue. Although, she goes fine in very glamorous looks, I really like her in these sports inspired outfits (particularly the A.Wang pieces!!) and very natural as an “all Amercian girl”.

Former Teen Vogue editor Taylor Tomasi is one of the coolest girls out there when it comes to creative and quirky styling. Plus, she is incredibly pretty in real life. I was truely stunned when I saw her at the Chloe show this week.

The Selby book

March 3, 2010 / No Comments

Todd Selby is the number one source of inspiration when it comes to creative interiors. The new media, more tasteful version of good old MTV cribs (I bet we all watched it at one point…) coveres the homes/ offices of the most coveted artists, models and creative minds like Julia Restoin-Roitfeld, Erin Wasson, Oliver Zahm and Alex Wang, to name a few. Now the Selby is finally releasing a book:

It contains over 30 profiles, accompanied by Todd’s famous watercolor portraits and small interviews, of which most have not been published before on the Selby site. The book is launching on April 1st, but there will be an exclusive pre-sale chez Colette this week, with lots of cool events ranging from Karaoke, to interior consultation and the possibility to get a portrait of your pet.

So, guess where I will be heading today to get my version of the book…?

I just love Todd’s eye for small, random details and his artsy/crazy motives.

subtrend: aviator chic

September 13, 2009 / 3 Comments

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…
