More Pre-fall 2011

Tuesday, December 14th, 2010

Nicole Miller

As style.com has just recently added some more designers releasing their lookbooks and collections for next year’s fall, I thought I’d share with you my favourite clothes of some designers. Being a big fan of Max Azria and especially of Hervé Léger my first click was on the collection of BCBG by Max Azria, which reveals himself to some extent although the cuts are completely different from Hervé Léger. In contrast, Azria has created more loosely hanging outfits with some sexy insights due to their transparency at some points. My personal favourite is the black dress with its transparent kind of train and the nice combination of black, green and purple. I’m not sure if these colours together would fit me but since the basic-tone is black I guess that nearly every kind of skin & hairtype could wear it. I don’t like the shoes he combined and I’d rather take some classic black high heels but that’s a matter of personal taste.
Furthermore, Nicole Miller has surprised me with all her asymmetric/symmetric cuts despite the classic combination of black and white. I couldn’t decide which one I consider to be the best but I really like the shoulder-off one in black. In face of my aversion of most patterns, I find something even interesting in the dress “made of heaven” with its clouds and all the colours the sky could get us.
Moving on, I found some really really nice creations at Tibi’s lookbook, which are mostly held in classic tones like beige, black, blue and white and always combined to simple black ballerinas. The dresses are nicely cut and especially for girls with a gracile figure, those dresses rock their classiness. What I mostly love about this collection are the clear cuts, the fine textures and its classic-sticked way to represent a young woman’s way to dress herself while trying to be not considered as granny-styled. Especially the beige coat with its black detachments and the bell-shaped sleeves impresses me.

Pre-Fall 2011

Friday, December 10th, 2010

How time flies just comes up to mind by thinking about New Year’s Eve, which is more close than I have expected. But what makes things even more scary is the fact that I’ve already discovered the pre-fall collection for 2011 again. So what will next year’s fall look like?

Having had a look at Chanel’s collection at first, I must admit that I’m not pretty sure about the whole collection yet. Of course some parts of it are fabulous and classic as we are used to, but I don’t know if I can deal with style.com‘s heading “Paris-Bycance”. Sure, the collection clearly indicates its theme for next year’s fall and therefore also settles its mood, the atmosphere how it will be presented and above all will give an insight how classic can be mixed with oriental details. Maybe I’m still a bit critical because of the fact that I’m not that kind of oriental-clothing type. I guess that is reinforced by my whole appearance of being the light skin – strawberryblonde-type, which already presses the “not-matching” button when it comes to certain oriental-indicating prints or some tones.

In contrast, Hervé Leger impressed me once again with Max Azria’s wonderful, body-accented dresses. Moreover Elie Tahari’s collection seems to get one of my pre-fall’s favourites as well as Temperley London. An absolute favourite is Jason Wu’s combination of the black silk trousers, the classic highheels and the elegant blouse, which has a clean chic-effect on the outfit. The oversized black bow is stressing the silky trousers and lets the model appear in a classic, wanne be karl-lagerfeld light. i like!

Here are all my favourites from the above mentioned designers (the first row of pictures are the fabulous dresses by Max Azria for Hervé Léger, the last two pics on the left are from the Oscar de la Renta collection, the other two are Jason Wu’s).

Favourite of the month

Saturday, December 4th, 2010

The Givenchy Tassel Oxford is definitely my favourite for December. Although I’m not a big fan of tassels and ankle boots in general, I’m somehow impressed by the overall appearance the shoe represents.

An indiana-jones-meets-winnetou’s-wife feeling is automatically coming up my mind by just looking at the pictures of Givenchy’s interpretation of this fall/winter.

Made in Italy, this dream of brass embellishments and hunting calf has its proud price:1.650 unbelievable US$.

Well .. I guess this will just keep a personal dream on my someday-somehow-wishlist ;) .

Acne’s Summer Details

Wednesday, March 31st, 2010

Acne from Sweden is proving hard this time that they are able to produce some great fashion not only by their collaboration with Lanvin earlier last year.

Setting the first tone for coming season Acne shows an indigo called ‘Kex Armour’ with knee protectors in a great robot – style. Definitely a big step forward! The whole collection is worth looking here.

Focus: Jürgen Teller

Friday, December 18th, 2009

Jürgen Teller is one of the big names when it comes to fashion photography.

In return, he doesn’t think so. He rather likes shooting his models naked, without any make-up, special lighting or a lot of photoshopping…

He tries to find the natural beauty in each woman he is photographing. With this attitude he revolutionized the scene; and made Kate Moss to his muse.

Running shoes return

Wednesday, August 5th, 2009

It may be due to the financial crisis or whatsoever, but Running shoes are en vogue again, not only because of Raf Simons, creative director of Jil Sander and his new designs in the latest collection, but also because of the increasing popularity in fitness and running. So please buy a nice pair of runners or take your old ones and move/run out there!
