Fashion comes Home for SS14

Posted on October 22, 2013 by fasholic

Paris is the home of fashion, this has never been as true as it is now. I wasn’t sure if anyone could take anymore after the departure of Marc Jacobs from Louis Vuitton was announced, the anticipation for his last show was enough to send even Anna Wintour (well, maybe) into a frenzy! Yet Chanel was to come and Karl Lagerfeld is not upstaged easily. For me, this Chanel collection could have been staged in a tip and the clothes would have looked as breathtaking as ever; however in true KL style the Grand Palais was whitewashed and turned into a modern art hanger with over 75 life size pieces of ‘Artwork’ (designed by the one and only) lining the catwalk. You couldn’t help but think about the ever potent question; is fashion art? If this man’s creations aren’t worthy of the art world then I don’t know what is. This collection was one of the best seasons Chanel has had for a while; breathtaking yes but also wearable, it had it all!! This year Wang took Balenciaga and whipped up something that was noticeably Wang but still oozed Parisien chic with a Balenciaga attitude! Heremes and Dior were both in full bloom with florals leading the way in an oversized print as well as our old friend snakeskin adding an extra kick to trims and accessories; Miu Miu finished off the epic week with a sickly sweet presentation of pastel colours and swinging 60’s pea coats. Too much to write about all in one, the pictures will do the talking:

If there’s one name I wouldn’t mind being plastered all over me, it would be the amazing ‘Alexander Wang’. Lucky for me, his latest offering does just that. Featuring laser-cut leather gloves and trench coats etching out ALEXANDER WANG;, the … Continue reading →

In Vogue and In Love – Skateboarding

Posted on July 17, 2013 by fasholic

Recently I have developed a new found love for Skateboarding! Random and definitely something I should have been into circa 2002 age 14, but for some reason Skateboarding mesmerises me; I am totally baffled by that sort of one legged coordination! It maybe also has something to do with the fact that skateboarding is totally in vogue and has been for the past few seasons. Jayne Min of top blog STOP IT RIGHT NOW lead the revolution after deciding to experiment merging fashion and skateboarding. Min decided to apply the iconic Celine SS12 print to the underneath of a limited number of boards (See images) – the effect was amazing and several other designer collaborations followed including Alexander Wang, DVF and Tory Burch to name a few. As the trend has filtered down from the runway and onto the streets; Beanies, drop crotch jeans, vans, retro sports gear, amongst other items have become everyday pieces. The various shoots inspired by ‘boarding’ make me wish I was a cool Californian girl, skateboarding along the pier in the summer sun on my Celine skateboard – If I tried now, I’d look like an idiot but hey, at least I’d be a stylish one!
