Queen of effortless cool

Now here’s a lesson on how to work this season’s COLOR trend the ‘Alexa way’: Minimize the effort and maximize the effect by lifting your winter staples (woolly sweater, black leather leggings, booties) with a pop colored shoulder bag. WOW! It’s so simple…

TOP COAT

When sending out his models yesterday at the finale of his fall/winter 2011 show, genius Christopher Bailey built in a little twist: he let it snow and dressed them all in matching black rainboots AND  little, transparent raincoats with a black patent trim!!

Such a clever idea, as this little PVC cape is not only incredibly cute, but above all super practical, as it allows you to wear your favourite coat under all weather conditions! I NEED!!

The only problem with this smart creation is the pricetag…but we’re sure the highstreet will be quick to follow Bailey…

Met Gala 2010

The Met Gala is definitely one of the hottest and most covetted red carpet events of the year. Without doubt, there were lots of beautiful ball gowns, but I’m mostly intrigued by the more daring and unexpected looks. Voila, my very personal favourites:

In-trenched

Due to my Master thesis I have been dealing a lot lately with the use of new media in marketing so I was delighted about this new, innovative project by Burberry. The art of the trench is an online platform, which was created in cooperation with the Sartorialist and which is a fabulous hommage to our all-time favourite piece of clothing. The site shows a great selection of streetstyle pictures of people wearing their trenchcoats across all major fashion capitals. Check it out here, its a great source of inspiration and it’s even possible to upload your own pics;-)

how to do Burberry…

hermine!

We were totally thrilled when we first heard about Burberry’s new face for the Fall campaign: everybody’s darling and STYLE HEROINE in the making Emma Watson. The Harry Potter star is enchanting the fashion world this August, as she  rocks the cover of both Elle UK (watch the behind the scenes video here) and Teen Vogue.
