This funny piece from AW13 Acne Studios collection is not a kind of a modern house decoration. And it’s not a Japanese snack box. It is a clutch! But what kind of a clutch- it looks like made from marble, has a cool emoji sign or Acne’s Stockholm store address and has a mirrored inside interior! You shall fit there everything and anthing, and it’s a “living” piece of modernism in conceptual fashion! Love it!
The Mykita X Damir Doma collaboration for Croatian designer based in Paris eyewear line is all about beauty of simplicity. The sunglasses with rounded frames look very 60’s-70’s but in a much, much more minimalistic edition. Packed in a black box, these chic collaboration shades will give you the right, modern Parisian vibe to your casual outfit! Available on COLETTE.fr
It’s not the first time when New York designer Prabal Gurung collaborates with Casadei for his runway shoes. But I must admit, the AW13 creations that we saw on the feet of the models in March were simply amazing. The collecton was all about Amazon women in Winter surroundings, that are strong and beautiful at the same time. With the beauty connected to harness, the collection was called to be one of the best in NYC! The shoe collection with Casadei was kept in khaki, black and gold colours, with buckles all around and characteristic, abit curvy, Casadei heel. As you see, the legs looks really sexy in these Must-ies, so start saving on them!
Holly Fowler is a name to watch in London fashion scene- this girl has something really fresh and at the same time traditional to offer! To be clear. Holly is not doing prints, trench coats, Tartan plaids nor feather and high tech innovations. It’s all about… Hand-painted dresses! Sounds kind of stereotypical, but it looks so refreshing and new! The painted frescos on long minimalistic dresses, leather jackets and skirts look fantastic with their strong colours! Fowler also did to big collaborations- one with bags and dresses for Browns London, where a simple leather bag had a realistic print, and second one for Bergdof Goodman in New York! Really, the effect is mesmerising. This is real fashion- it really feels new, but it is still something wearable and at the same time at level of haute couture… In pretty affordable prizes! 
DAAD in Milan is a conceptual store full of dark aesthetic clothes, Comme des Garcons perfumes and a la Rick Owens coats. Indeed, the clothes and less known labels in this store are styled very much on Rick Owens and Maison Martin Margiela from the past. Nothing here is like it seems- a coat can be a shirt and trousers a skirt! The interior reminds me a bit of -PN/P in Florence, that was also dark and very artistic! I love this place! And there was this one coat with fur that I am eternally in love from now on…
