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 […]

Tom Ford: Fall 2017

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 […]

Happy New Year | Affirmation

01/01/2017 by Gisèle Manzi

I was born again, last year. No I am not high nor am I still drunk form last night. Rather posting this as a reminder that controlling our mind is one of the first steps towards taking control of our own destiny and manifesting everything we want. If last year ended on a peculiar vibe, this year doesn’t have to be. If last year was good to you, nothing is stopping you from repeating and multiplying that glory. Happy New […]

Goodbye 2016

31/12/2016 by Gisèle Manzi

Today is the last day of 2016. Yasss. You made it! Now before I go and drink myself to a low level of intelligence, here’s an anecdote for you that I had time to write a few days ago and was still debating on whether or not to post. It explores in a simplified manner the importance of believing in yourself and attracting anything you want. By january 1st 2016 I was telling a lie* (*lie..manifestation…lie… hold on.) I was low key […]
