While reading How to be Parisian, I did not only see my reflection but my mother’s, grandmother’s, my best friends’ and their mother’s too. Decoded and represented in this book, are (our) mannerisms, styles, humor and bad habits that may seem brash, maybe rude but endearing, still. Turns out we’re not misunderstood: a sense of style is…

Preen AW 15/16
A laid back winter in colors was what Preen’s autumn-winter 15/16 collection proposed us. We were blown away by the mustard colored shoes, and the trendy backpacks designed to fit the mood of the collection. Aquamarine, dark greens, mustards, and burgundy made an astonishing presentation while the stripes, animal print, fur, and sequins added vivacity to…
Balmain | AW 15/16
Olivier Rousteing can do no wrong. In this aw15/16 collection of Balmain, he revisits the 70s. The 70s style, just as they seem in pictures, have a vibrancy in colours.

Giambattista Valli Couture ss 15

A very Valli collection usually comes with a promise of sculptural silhouettes and a huge amount of florals, in all shapes and forms. This notion was taken and blown into surprises from…
Thom Browne aw 15
If the notes of Chopin’s funeral march could create a collection, it would look exactly like the one Thom Browne created for his AW15. Among the items that stood out the most, were the Victorian-esque veils, but it is the unexpected humour behind a sombre theme that emphasised a dark, disorientating sense of wonder. Accordingly,…
miu miu ss15
Think of a rich kid in stilettos, whose attire matches her sexual freedom. Add a faint zest of the 50s influence. Got it? Now compare your vision to Miuccia Prada’s spring summer 15 collection. Sexy, sexy. The Miu Miu girl looks unfuckwitable in her stilettos, mules and platforms. Almost all the shoes have a finishing touch of cute bows…
