Save The Best For Last...PFW!

March 6, 2018 FWSS

SO, fashion month is finally over, with the close out of the week in Paris; where top designers showed their Fall 2018 RTW collection. I posted a little of my faves on my insta (if you haven't followed me yet - do itttt- click here!

I don't even know where to start...

...lets start with Balmain- which by far was my favorite show! From handbags on drones to sequins shining bright for the kira kira app to me drooling over every piece. Oliver Rousteing KILLED it, he kept true to his style but still updated it the future of fashion.

There are no words...watch for yourself!

Saint Laurent, Ralph&Russo, Unravel, Louis Vuitton, Off - White, Isabel Marant, Elie Saab, Zuhair Murad, and Chanel, all had EPIC shows.

Check out my top 5-10 looks from each of the above shows (so hard picking a max of 10)

SAINT LAURENT

Staying true to the brand image and even hosting it in an architectural forum the public could see

LEGS FA DAYYYS

RALPH & RUSSO

So jet setter chic

UNRAVEL

is the definition of edgy streetwear meets luxury scale

LOUIS VUITTON

time periods collide

OFF WHITE

Virgil Abloh is one of my idols - he has long come out of the shadow of Kanye and has this amazing eye. He bought his parents a horse so he was inspired by that for his show as well " horse "

Elie Saab

Goes grunge

Zuhair Murad

Presentation at Opening of Dubai Store - he never disappoints

Chanel

Autumn in the park vibes - loving the puffer jackets

Honorable mentions to check out:

Paco Rabanne
Balenciaga for the hypebeasts
Isabel Marant

And now the ones I was beyond disappointed from...I don't want to pollute your eyes to much so lets take a look at the 5 worst pieces from each collection.

DIOR

so tragic, a hot mess of moms quilts stitched together with throwback dior bags and acid trip prints

CHLOE

Natacha Ramsay-Levi’s debut collection strayed from the hippic chic vibe of Chloe and in to more of a "hipster" horrible plethora of neutrals

COMME DES GARCONS

Was this an assignment on Project Runway?

Visit Vogue Runway to check out all the looks! Let me know your faves.

Others to note:

The Bad:

Giambattista Valli - not up to par with his usual stunning collections
Valentino - prepare for colored nun outfits and large florals, BUT the scalloping on some of the pieces are nice

Between Paris and Milan - why bother with NY and London?

LOVE FWSS

MFW (top 6 shows) is KILLIN IT!: Should we drop NYFW & LFW?

February 24, 2018 FWSS

SO, it is currently Milan Fashion Week (home to Gucci, Fendi, Moschino, & more) and they shows are on another level amazing! Read on to see my faves, but first...

Let me ask the big question....SHOULD THE FASHION INDUSTRY DROP NYFW & LFW, and just stick to Milan and Paris?

Hear me out...

NYFW is all about the setting of the show, not necessarily the clothes (tragic this season) going down the runway.

LFW does have some high fashion, but for the most part, this years London fashion week was very blah - minus Burberry and Christopher Kane.

Christopher Bailey is now gone which leaves room for them to transition to London Fashion - yes they are signature in the London fashion scene but.

MFW has been the first fashion week of fashion month where I haven't been saying ew to 90% of the Fall 2018 RTW the designers are sending down the runway. Instead I'm drooling over everything, even down to the details!

MFW shows major power houses of fashion that I've been more eager to see the runway show then then the street style TBH

My favorite & slightly obsessed (OK completely obsessed) with these looks from MFW:

1. GUCCI

I think Gucci deserves it's own post...but here is a consolidated view:

Yes - that is a dragon. Alesandro Michele's..."wanted to represent the lab I have in my head. It’s physical work, like a surgeon’s.”

Details

Culture was a big reference in Gucci's vision with the LA & NY logos, asian inspired hats, and day of the dead looking masks. Of course, my favorite, the ugly shoe trend was on display (ugh)

Bags

I'll take all of em, thanks! AND watch for that backpack on every blogger & celeb! I'm drooling over all of em.

2. FENDI

The fur though...STUNNING...sorry PETA not sorry
One of the BEST shows - from MFW- so here's an extra few looks.

Logo galore...logo's are definitely making a comeback.

Details

Influencer heaven!

3. VERSACE

Details

4. MOSCHINO

Very Jackie O, intergalactic, flight attendant chic! Leave it to Jeremy Scott to make Jackie O a bit edgy.

5. ROBERTO CAVALLI

Loving all the leather.

Review: Paul Surridge, who has been at Cavalli a year now as creative director, wanted to revamp the signature GLAMOUR of Cavalli - animal print, fur, exotic leathers, embellished jeans and basically everything on another level EXTRA! Surridge toned down the brands glam image, as he says, "“Glamour for me is attraction, attraction is confidence, and confidence is comfort. If you’re not comfortable, you’re not confident.”

6. BLUMARINE

So feminine and always gorgeous! Legit there is not one look I don't like- so hard to choose the top ones...so I didn't...check out the runway show below:

AND finally...can we talk about the puppies Tod's sent down the runway, I die.

One trend throughout Milan Fashion Week was the leather and animal skin boots; expect to see that EVERYWHERE come fall!

Can't wait to hear your thoughts!

NYFW: Streetstyle (Fall 18 RTW) - UPDATE

February 12, 2018 FWSS

SO, as NYFW begins; the changes - Bottega moving it's show to NY, collections being available right away- of the once glamorized week shifts focus on to the style outside the shows.

As what the "influencers", editors, and bloggers are wearing to the shows are becoming more of the focus of fashion week rather than the actual shows; unless its something out of this world, literally, like Phillipp Plein's runway show.

Honestly, I'm not that impressed with the outfits on the streets from Day 1- 3. However, Day 4 has brought rain and in turn some of the best outfits. Half the time these influencers are throwing on ugly items and putting it together and calling it "fashion". As Caroline Herrara says, right as she announces she is stepping down from the brand...
