Big City Life

I know, I'm super late to fashion weeks but I just moved to London!!
But, first of all let's start with NYFashion Week, the one that started the fashion season.
I've selected few designers and brands that really impressed me. like Tom Ford, Brandon Maxwell and Oscar de La Renta.

British Fashion Awards 2016

Last week took place the British Fashion Award, where international and british celebrities, models, designers and fashion related personalities are recognized for their talent.

 

Couture by Trevi Fountain

I know, I'm so so so late for this, but Haute Couture deserves a post!
Everytime Haute  Couture Fashion Week is up, it's like different dreams are brought to life by the designers with their collections.
The Ready to Wear collections are great, but the Haute Couture ones have something special and magical.

We Cannes't

It's Cannes' time! Yes, the Cote Azur waited for us for 2 weeks of super glamour where fashion and cinema mixed perfectly!
Models, actors and actresses, all there to show us the french riviera glamour... and of course also very sophisticated films!
I went once to Cannes and I didn't like it so much.. maybe because it was very cloudy and cold and I've ended up in the casino (ahah) but I'm sure Cannes must be so glamorous and super chic!

That's a METter of fact

YES! The Met Gala always bring amazing dresses.. and it's always fun see how people can interpret the theme of the event. This year, the theme was Manus X Machina: Fashion in the age of technology exhibition, which was co-chaired by Taylor Swift, Idris Elba, Vogue editor Anna Wintour and Apple executive Jonathan Ive.
Let's see how the guests see theirselves in the future of 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.

Brit Awards 2016

The Brits Awards are the most important event for the british music scenario. This means that a lot of singers and musicians are awarded with honours like best british band or singer and more but also they show us a lot of great number of outfits and styles during the red carpet and the performances.

Men with Fashion manners

A couple of weeks ago, it started the fashion season after  holidays break and it bagan with the men's one.
I know I'm super late, but I had exams at the university but now I'm here for face all the fashion weeks! The London Collection Men is one of my favourite fashion event together with the Haute Couture. Men's fashion is not so boring as it seems..you can find a lot of inspirations and it's fun  to see all those male models.
Men's collections are so good that sometimes I get jealous!

What is Victoria's Secret?

A couple of days a go, it took place in New York one of the most sexy and famous fashion show of the year: the Victoria's Secret show which will be aired  in December.

British Invasion

British, British everywhere!
USA has been invaded by British! Last week end the famous english maison  Burberry brought a touch of London in Los Angeles. They presented their collection in America with the fashion show "London in LA".
At the show a lot of british celebrities showed up like Elton John and his inseparable husband David Furnish, the Beckham family and also the funny James Corden, who's having such a huge success in USA!
He was also chose as testimonial for this event and he was amazingly funny as always.

Burberry was able to bring all the UK spirit with them and make all so classy and british, starting with the army of the Queen's guards to the typical and traditional iron gate from Buckingham Palace. 

 The models walked through the catwalk supervised by the Queen Guards' band.

 

 The other british "royal" family in in the front row: the Beckhams! All the complete family was there, little Harper included with her cute trench-dress. Victoria and David were joined by Vogue queen Anna Wintour.

 The supermodel Cara Delevingne rocked this stunning dress, so chic and simple at the same time.

 Jamie King wore a special Burberry dress in green sheer dress showing her growing baby bump.

 

The gorgeous Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, with her new short haircut was amazing in her mini multicoloured Burberry's dress and Mirabell suede sandals.

But, one of my favourite outfit was Rose Byrne, with her black sheer and lace dress with a golden belt. I really loved that dress!

Here we come with his amazing catwalk! He's so funny!
I remember I first saw him in the film "Begin Again" with Keira Knightly, Adam Levine and Mark Ruffalo, where he played a talented british busker in America.
Then I recently saw him in "Into the Woods" and in his Late, Late Show and in a lot of english programs.
He run the catwalked accompanied by the stunning supermodels and Burberry loving Naomi Campbell and Jourdan Dunn.

 

 Let's take a look to the details! Who would die for a personalized mononogrammed Burberry's scarf?! I gradly would!
Burberry decided to give to the all front row's guests a monogrammed scarf! So lucky!

 And as always, how handsome is becoming Brooklyn Beckham??

 At the event also George Ezra performed during the show.

Omg, I wish I was invited so such a cool event too! It must have been so fashion and elegant.
In my opinion Burberry is always able to modernise itself everytime and most of all is able to keep it update and organise this king of event! Burberry is so famous arounf the world but it is confirming also out of its native land its importance on the fashion scenario.


That's all for now


Talk to you soon

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
