In the midst of going through my favorite Steve Jobs quotes this past week grieving for one of the world’s greatest and most inspiring entrepreneurs, I re-discovered this statement which is – also – perfectly applicable to fashion:

“Simple can be harder than complex: You have to work hard to get your thinking clean to make it simple.”

Makes so much sense right now, doesn’t it?

So consequently I’ve made my closet undergo a thorough cleanse (really not much left there) and feel like I’m ready for a fresh start into fall. Literally FRESH. Now what feels fresher than going all-white on a dull fall day? PLUS it is so simple. All I need is to reactivate my white skinny denim (which luckily turned up last weekend – I haven’t taken it off since), get an off-white knit sweater (check Sandro!) and add my favorite pair of strappy sandals (the above ones are Giuseppe Zanotti btw). Now this may not be exactly weather-appropriate but let me tell ya that dressing weather-appropriate is for bores. It just is. As for me, I won’t even bother shopping for autumnal colors (Halloween says hi) but look cool in white on white. Cheers!

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!

On the occasion of style.com’s 10th anniversary a selective group of just the biggest designer names (Proenza Schouler, Alexander Wang and Lanvin to name a few) has been asked to create a limited t-shirt edition.  And on top of that fashion’s global A-list has modeled the tees in front of Tommy Ton’s camera. Oh and to make this even better a proportion of the proceeds will be donated to ‘Computer for Youth’! Now this is not only a perfectly smart and creative idea but also the result is very convincing. What do u think? I’m sold…

In the picture above: Vanessa Traina wearing a limited Givenchy X tee with a classic black blazer and Balenciaga’s Giant City tote.

Vogue Nippon fashion editor Anna dello Russo in a Balmain designed tee.

Chloé Sevigny wears a Proenza Schouler tee – WHAT ELSE:-)?

We’ve picked out our favourites:

The tees are available online, at Colette in Paris or at a special pop-up store in New York as of today! Sign up here to be the first to shop:-)!

These brand new Proenza Schouler babies were just spotted by Tommy Ton during Paris Fashion Week.

I just loved their whole Fall 10 collection and I have to admit that it is probably yet again my favourite one from all the shows shown during the last weeks!! As for the shoes, there’re just insane and, yes true, the association with hooves might not be far away…STILL I like a lot!
