David Koma | Spring Summer 18 | LFW

18/12/2017 by Gisèle Manzi

Something for the chic minimalist with an obsession for geometry. Less is more. But play your cards wrong and “less” denotates: zero efforts. Nada. Pure Negligence. Unless… you consider playing with shapes, curves and cuts. The idea of embracing one’s body shape, revealing certain body parts in a manner that is playfull whilst still exuding elegance is something David Koma incorporated really well in the SS18. The Outstanding IIIs: Conductive thread: From a distance the black strap looks like a […]

Elie Saab: Mille et une Nuits

19/03/2017 by Gisèle Manzi

Drafting a presentation script and proposal, on a gloomy day, while dreaming of Milles et une nuits but the Ellie Saab version. So much beauty, precision and elegance. Think winged eye-line, good mascara, matte lipstick, long flowing hair especially if your hair type defies gravity and beautifully long flowing gowns. Heavenly sounding music in tune with every move you make is only optional and- if i dare say- imaginery but if you want it, you got it too. Now, for anyone who’s […]

Fashion Week’s best in one place

19/03/2017 by Gisèle Manzi

Secretly every fashion addict’s dream is to be locked in a room full of next seasons’ runway garments. While there are boys and girls whose dream would be to wear all the pieces that were meticulously put together by fairies’ hands, others might opt for dressing a beautifully created human being to see where their creativity takes them. Well, while we cannot grant this particular wish for either party, we can assure you that Carine Roitfeld has done a little something between […]

18/03/2017 by Gisèle Manzi

I know what you’re thinking: **Coloured tights? Sign me up!** Or if you’re anything like me, today, you’re more on the vibe of: just when I thought I was done with coloured tights, they’re just gonna bring them back?! And to that we say- sorry I say (we? lol as if)- you are not alone. Luckily, Tom Ford put together a precise, sharp and vibrant collection to help us elaborate our internal shopping list for the season ahead. P.S. if fashion’s all about […]

Olive Clothing Womeswear: Laidback is The New Chic

07/03/2017 by Gisèle Manzi

As a self declared pro-procrastinator, there is nothing I hate more than waking up to realise that I literally procrastinated so hard that I now have ~5 minutes to get dressed. No, okay, no there is 1 thing that I hate more than the “I have nothing 2 wear + y am i like this?!” panic and that is watching Carrie continuously go back to Big knowing very well that shit won’t work out until, like, the last movie so […]

Olive Clothing Menswear: Laidback is the new Chic

06/03/2017 by Gisèle Manzi

While attempting to revise for my marketing test, starting in approx ~2 hours, a friend annoyingly looked around and pointed out that you can easily differentiate normal days from exam days based on how people are dressed. (Que?) This was followed by someone observing that he didn’t give a shit about how he looked on exam days- or ever, smh- while another one added that staple pieces make everything easier. Before I could tease “So y r u in non-matching tracksuits Jerome?!” […]

Optimize elegance & comfort

21/01/2017 by Gisèle Manzi

To be honest with you, in this lonesome winter cold, it’s easier to be somewhere between yoga tights all day everyday or a full blown out low key version of Cruella De Ville (little black dresses and a furry accessory(ies)- her personality is optional only) but an effortless meeting point of these two contradicting styles would be a way to maximise comfort and elegance and I am all for that. So basically as a visual aide that will help me break out of […]
