Best dressed 2018

2018 has come to an end and it's time to proclaim the best dressed of the year!

To me the best dressed of 2018 was Tracee Ellis Ross, star of the sit-com Black-ish and daughter of the evergreen diva Diana Ross.

Let's start with some of her looks..

Celine, Icon of Style

Sooo, I would like to talk about a celebrity who recently came back under the spotlights. It's Celine Dion! Oh I've always loved her! I remember my mum listening to her music on and on and of course I learned all the lyrics.
After her world wide success for the soundtrack of Titanic with "My heart will go on", she rode the wave of the moment with a lot of catchy and great songs and she gained a residency show in Las Vegas.
But now she's back! She has a world tour and she became a fashion icon! The outfits and looks that she sports recently are amazing!! From haute couture to a more casual fashion.

Next stop: Paris

After London and Milan we're finally in Paris, just in time for the first flashes of spring!
Let's get staraight to the collections, because this fashion week gave us a lot to take note about the upcoming trends in fashion.

A good reason to dress up

It's December and that means that Christmas is almost here! Sooo before Christmas day we have to partecipate to all those Xmas' parties and dinners and drinks and happy hours and teas and coffees. Ahah
Of course for those occasions we need to be special and dressed for the event that means sparkles and red everywhere.. if not, what is Christmas for???

10 outfits a day

You all might know that I LOVE Blake Lively! She's gorgeous and she seems to be a very nice and kind young woman. 
Back in April she did a really big promo for her upcoming film "Age of Adeline" and she rocked a lot of different outfits in just one day.. they were at least 10!

A Breath of Spring

From Milan to Paris.. Here we are again for the best Ready To Wear collections of  Paris Fashion Week.
Paris is one of the best locations for fashion, for example, Dior expressed itself creating a floral covered dome in the courtyard of the museum of Louvre. It was such a clever idea for the S/S  rtw colletions: in the middle of fall you can find a breath of spring made by a waterfall of blue and purple flowers in the middle of Paris.

Paris, c'est chic

It's the international woman's day week and also Paris Fashion week!
What a better way to celebrate the best designer 's view of women  through the latest fashion trends?
It's Paris, the most romantic and chic city in the world and it's fashion week! I'd pay a ton of gold to be there.

Let's start with Balmain. This year its collection is very colorful and despite I am a "always wear black girl", I really liked it. The main colours are green, yellow, purple, orange and black, which are fall colours that really trend in in the recent years.
The sartorial line is clean and flowing but also geometrical.
The main accessory used in this collection is the high waisted color belt with golden buckle.

I have to admit that I was disappointed by one of my favourite designer Elie Saab. Ok, this a Fall/Winter collection and I must have dark colours in it, but I don't know, I feel like he held back all that "wow" that generally characterized all his collections.
This collection was really dark and classic. I mean.. where are the sparks?

 

Also Gianbattista Valli was a little bit subdued and dull. Maybe it's because of the dark colours in relation on his last lighter ready-to-wear collection.

 

 Valentino used his customary and signature classic and clean lines. The collection was characterized by a very elegant black and white. I really liked the little black dresses with lace and fringe details.

 

 

At the end of the show appeared two super models! Derek and Hensel in all their glory! Great idea to promote Zoolander 2!

 

Chanel decided to invite us to Brasserie Gabrielle for lunch. Karl Lagerfeld proposed the classic Chanel's tailleur but today it is updated with modern shapes on the sleeves or on the skirts.

 

 

  One of the designer that I usually understimate is Rochas, that this year created a really nice, simple and delicate collection which I loved.

 However my favourite was Saint Laurent who created a rock punk 80's collection. It is genial! This collection mixed elegance and grunge style, classic and modern, rock and chic, male and female. Just perfect!

 

 

 I really appreciated the sheer and pois shirt! So chic!

That's all for now.


Talk to you soon
