Welcome, to our new post category, the weekly fix. This is our way to share with you interesting finds from other blogs or websites and all the little or big things, which have inspired us during the past week…stay tuned!

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 ;)

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…

…and glitter jeans + tuxedo jackets and MORE fur…

…also LOVE the simpel make-up + messy hair!!

In order to restlye the cool Wang look, check out the “Into the gloss” backstage coverage!
