Berlin: The Celine Pre-Fall

20130726-102559 AM.jpg
In the new Celine section in Kadewe, Berlin, the Pre-Fall collection arrived. Well, should say that on pictures all these clothes and shoes look real good- but live- and mostly the shoes!- it all looks horrible. First of all, the lacquered shoes with gold plate on it are very hard. The plate is additionally removable, and it looks like a typical men’s shoes! The black/white wedges are also a tragedy! The rubber wedge is made definitely from a tire or something because the odour from it is saw disgusting! The only cool thing was the thatched hat from the collection that is made in France! It is saw French! And stylish! But still, very not practical.

Fall Eruptions

20130610-073119 AM.jpg

In Paris, one of the minor, but still sharp trend for Fall AW13, is marble. It was presented by Balenciaga and Celine- both of them showed in pretty cool perspectives. Balenciaga by Alexander Wang mixed the marble theme with modernity and archival Cristobal Balenciaga look. The “crispy” sweatshirt that Malgosia Bela wears, at the beginning looks like real marble but in reality it is… Leather accompanied with white paint! I am a anti fan of Wang at Balenciaga, but this is indeed, an innovative idea!

Celine by Phoebe Philo definetly was better- maybe less spectacular, but much more simple and practical. These were small bracelets and necklaces with green marble spheres in the front! Sounds very simple, but it do look cool! Marble was also there in Pre-Fall- looking a bit vintage with gold. And here we can choose from green and ombre marble!

Beginning. Balenciaga AW13

Slide01After waiting about four months without knowledge of how will new Balenciaga under the wings of Alexander Wang look like, today in the morning, in Paris, the show began. The whole setting was in a old, but renovated Parisian building with white marble, huge mirrors, black and white tiles and spiral stairs. It gave a feeling of Balenciaga at time of Cristobal. So taking the seat with Olivier Zahm camera the show begins!Slide02Slide03It all begins with a typical Wang touch- a elegant t-shirt, black trousers, fur and mostly casual elegance. But thanks god Wang didn’t do it all in a New York way- indeed it was all so Paris! Alexander Wang continued the sophisticated minimalism of Ghesquiere with super cool fur sweatshirts that looked like white marble and black dresses with open back… Sexy but delicate.Slide05Slide04The furry sweatshirts are this seasons my favourite! They look so street style and modern! Mixed with laced leather leggins and a leather head decoration it is great! Only Wang could do it! And what about the shiny elegant dress code? I see it already on Carine Roitfeld, the real queen of french elegance!Slide06Slide07 Slide08The new model of bag is for sure the one from python witha a classical closing. It is a comfortabel handbag that is easy to wear but at the same time ideal for every event! The hit of the show was for sure the greenish jacket with shirling on sleeves and  the complete of sweater with skirt that was toatally embroidered with something that looked like paisleys! Shiny!Slide09Slide10Slide11Slide12Congratulations to Alexander Wang! Really the collection was great! I think, that Balenciaga from now on will not change diametrically, but it will be more sporty and hopefully better quality! P1050286 balenciaga_1500_0_resize_90
