Inspiration: Proenza Schouler

Flicking through what I missed after the massive Marant post I did during fashion week, I found I'd missed Proenza Schouler's Spring '10 RTW line.

I love the simplicity mixed with the colours! It screamsssssssssssssssssss relaxed chic.

Need to go out quickly and look like a deliciously blank canvas? No worries wear THIS, how about day to night, PERFECT, just throw on that.

A|X: TV



Stumbling upon Armani Exchange recently, simply because I procrastinate greatly when I'm in the middle of exams, I came across a new feature on the Armani Exchange webpage.

It seems like, everything these days needs to be made accessible for the technological generation (Gen Y) and above, therefore, A|X came up with an awesome concept. It's basically grasping the internet to create a more 'behind the scenes' look at what goes on with their sponsored events, or shows and even parties.

In early October, A|X:TV was released and is quickly taking over all things multi-media in regards to fashion.

You get access to a channel called the Armani Exchange Life Video system which features, weekly updates on trends, shows and the newest feature, video-diary entries made by the A|X models and an inside look into the night-life. It's almost like reality TV means fashion bourgeoisie.

It will also feature an interview module in which DJ's will be interviewed and a bit of vlogging by them will also be done.

I was scoping it out and they actually facilitated the feed streaming into YouTube, FB and MySpace, which means when the Fall lines start getting organised and shot, this channel will be providing all the 'behind the scenes' access to the campaigns.

I was contacted by the A|X Rep, and invited to share a special invite only link to the new feature, so for all my loyal readers who have stuck by me through this busy time (and lack of posting), here's a special treat!

Apologies.

I've been really busy and have horribly neglected the blog, and during the end of fashion week none-the-less.

I do apologise!!

I'll take the opportunity to let you know my posts will be less frequent, especially now that I have exams, and then I fly out of the country until January.

So I'll be posting but it won't be as in-depth as they used to be.

Please keep coming back because this place won't be abandoned, I promise! Lo prometó!!

Mwa!

My picks: Isabel Marant RTW 2010

Firstly, I was kind of unimpressed with the manner in which, the style was downgraded to such a simplistic casual look. THEN I began to find treasures amist the looks I found were rather rushed, last minute, and in all honesty kind-of a mess.

I know I'm trash talking one of my favourite designers but it needs to be said, some blazer cuts made the models look neckless - NECKLESS? Is that 'in' now?

Above all, I'm positive designers must keep flattery of the silhouette in mind for the consumer. Eitherway I still loved it - I will not lie. The contrasts, and even some stripes, caught my attention - the fur reminds me of something she wore in a feature article I re-posted a month ago.


My Favourites!

My picks: Balmain RTW 2010

Balmain = amazing. I'm sorry but many of you already know I'm crazy about Balmain, Christophe Decarnin is a genius.
So here are my picks! If only I had an extra $10,000 laying around somewhere, I'd buy a jacket/blazer, instantly. No second thoughts. Seriously. I would.

My FAVOURITE

Here are my picks hot off the catwalk.


Christophe Decarnin, the one and only.

Paris and Milan Straight off the Catwalk.

How many of you have found the PERFECT outfit you want all to yourself before it reaches stores? (Trust me if I had the budget, there'd be more than one I'd purchase/preorder).

Remember my picks from Fashion week UK? Or even my critique on Rodarte?

I admit I've kept it low for Milan and soon to be Paris, because I find both fashion weeks receive the most coverage.

Anyway, I came across this really interesting concept of pre-ordering looks right off the runway? Yay or Nay?

What do you think?



Luis Via Roma, is offering pre-orders from 28th Sept until 8th Oct, so I suggest if you do embrace the concept to head on over there asap!

Did I mention they do discounts at ridiculously low rates.. i.e Marc Jacobs 50% off? Even Chloé!

Check them out :)

Nicholas Kirkwood at BrownsFashion.

Well, since most my posts have not been longer than three lines, I thought I'd focus on Mr Kirkwood's artistry for this particular post. I love him. I love the shoes. I first came across them last year when Jak&Jil's Tommy Ton, took an amazing picture of them on someone's amazingly stylish feet and I thought to my 'My goodness, finally someone who's come up with a shoe I can wear!' I love the platform trademark style, the Spiderweb heel is what essentially won me over in all its glory. I imagine if this had been out before SATC ended, it would've found its way into Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte and Samantha's wardrobe, undoubtedly!

It's just an amazing style, I think you can pair it with basically anything. Jeans, dresses, shorts, skirts, t-shirt dresses and even dare I say it.. cropped pants.

Therefore, I think that Mr Kirkwood, has earned

Nicholas Kirkwood for

Style Influential's Shoe Designer

of the Year for 2009.


I mean a lot of good competitors were out there this year. The YSL tribute pump was all the rage at the beginning of the year, not to mention the thigh high boot produced by many fabulously creative people. However, I cannot help feel those items may be a little dated, personally I purchased a pair of OTK boots, I love them. I'll continually wear them, but if I came across a real-life Blair Wardolf, I'm positive she'd look at me in disgust if I were to wear them say, next winter. It's so unacceptable. (hahaha)

Anyway, Mr Kirkwood, thank you for this amazing exhibition of artistry and style for 2009 and I'm sure 2010 will see many more fabulous demonstrations of why you're climbing into our hearts and closets!
