Balmain Resort 2012

I'm speechless with Balmain's resort collection 2012.

I have been obsessing with Navajo/Aztec and ethnic prints it's been a couple of years already. Sometimes it can be quite hard to find beautiful key pieces with those prints, pieces that you truly love and will wear over and over again despite the trends, and if you know how to tame down your prints with basics, they can be classics for ever.

I ♥ everything!





I am not only just excited by this beautiful collection, I am also very excited with my new Navajo scarf, which I wanted for ages and just now I managed to find one. Pics will be coming soon, I am sure if you are into this trend, you will love it too! Stay tuned.

See you soon.

Rio Fashion 2011

Hi guys,

A catch up of the Rio Fashion, Autumn Winter collections for 2011. It happened last week in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. It was held from the 11 to 15 Jan and as usual I have a made a little compilation from some of my favourites looks.

AQUASTUDIO

It's party time for the Aquastudio collection, a lot of sequins and lurex were present this collection inspired by shapes and architecture.

ALESSA

The colourful prints were inspired by sweets in the sweet shops. Funky T-shirts with muffin print for example get mixed with sequined trousers or jackets and even with faux fur.

TECA

Always using pastel colours and feminine prints on their collection. This time around inspired by Japan, so soft flowers and beautiful Japanese inspired prints were used. The colour of the season, camel. The South hemisphere seems to be following the same trend as us this winter.




Detail of the DIY jewellery. Broken pieces of china combined with crystals were used as necklaces.

PATACHOU
A beautifully made collection in grey, black and white. I love the embelishments used here, a lot of beads, net, transparency and draping on this collection, which is right up my street. Ohhh and the shoes are amazing, I would love to have a pair too.

MARIA BONITA EXTRA

Another beautifully made and feminine collection, a mixture of silk camisoles and harem silk suits which are beautiful. Another favourite look of mine is the sequined short in nude, they which is gorgeous. I love the fact this collection is very neutral with a colourful twist on accessories, such as those great ballerina shoes.

BRITISH COLONY

A lovely and creative collection with much inspiration from Navajo/Aztec prints, which you guys know I am so into to. I really like the styled cowboy boots mixed with it, very cool.

MELK Z KA

Channeling Maison Martin Margiela big time, it's time for wig jacket on the Brazilian catwalks.

CANTAO:
A youthful collection with beautiful maxi dresses, some hand printed fabrics with a pinch of grunge and Missoni.

I hope you enjoyed!

See you soon.

Jean Paul Gaultier says goodbye to Hermes

Hi guys,

I could not help myself, I just had to post some pictures from the Hermes Spring/Summer 2011 show. It's also Jean Paul Gaultier's last collection for the brand after 7 years as the artistic director of the women's ready to wear.

The show was absolutely stunning, beautifully capturing both essences, Hermes and Gaultier's. The equestrian chic style, which Hermes is strongly known for has just the right dose of Gaultier's kinky touches. Whips, harnesses and corsetry belts taking the catwalk with elegance along sheer fabrics and a lot of leather.







In Gaultier's words his work alongside Hermes was a 'love story' and I think it definitely was one, with a cinematographic end for sure.
Bravo!

See you soon.

She Died of Beauty

Hello guys,

I am still posting pictures from LFW! And I know you must be wondering about this picture... supermodel Erin O'Connor was at LFW launching her brand new label.


'She Died of Beauty' is a new label created by Erin O'Connor with her friend stylist Kate Halfpenny.

It's based on a simple collection of 5 cool t-shirts and 2 bags, with a play on the brand name, in their own words, "the very visual nature of fashion is to manipulate and exaggerate almost everything".

The usual peep:







All pieces are made ethically and with organic materials. "After all, there’s no reason why style and conscience can’t co-exist!", say the duo.

Obviously, it was a huge surprise to see Erin O'Connor there... She was really, really lovely and kindly posed with me for the blog. A real star indeed!

See you soon.
