TREND SPOTTING at Fashion Week 2015

THE VEIL It was back in 2013 when we first fell in love with the Jennifer Behr Voilette black lace veil spotted on Jennifer Lawrence at the MET Gala Awards.

Seeing Oxblood

Hanneli Mustaparta Oxblood is an undeniable star colour of the season, and it will be continuing its reign come spring as well. This seductive deep red shade has an ability to look both daytime and nighttime appropriate, and extremely polished at that.   Miroslava Duma Vita Fede Capri Wrap We love Miroslava Duma’s sporty takeContinue reading “Seeing Oxblood”

Thinking Baroque

Baroque is the art period of the moment. (A couple of seasons ago, it was all about Art Deco.)

TASSELS… from runways to Sophie’s Closet

Louis Vuitton S/S 2011 This season many designers focused on the glamorous and playful 1920s flapper look, most notably Louis Vuitton. And, naturally, there were many tassels and fringes involved! It’s probably an understatement when we say that we are kind of obsessed with tassels at the moment. Of course there is no need toContinue reading “TASSELS… from runways to Sophie’s Closet”
