Oh my gosh, Sarah Jessica Parker designed the shoes for Tome’s AW15 collection! I mean, the collection feels slight Sex and The City… But instead of that super hot news, I must admit – Tome is getting better and better every season. Their beautiful diverse selection of models just make all these shirt-like dresses and stripey pantalons look feminine and fresh at the same time. Lilac turtlenecks are fine, too! These lady-like clothes and SHOES will make women feel like a woman.
You will never be a bore if you wear the dance-floor on yourself. The new collection by Creatures of Comfort was a mix of elegance and boogie-boogie dance. Checked skirts worn with cashmere sweaters or rather black over-sized suits spiced up by a yellow necklace? The combinations seem to be endless! But all of it works together. One of the collection’s strongest looks was a silk blouse in a kitsch Hawaiian print, worn under a rust-colored blazer with notched lapels. Confusion? Definitely yes, but in good taste.
Rachel Comey presented her collection, like always, in a restaurant with the company of her friends and family. And, to tell the truth, Rachel knows how to cut in between the starter and the main course. Denim. Clogs. Clogs with fur. Cobalt blue knits, And for the nutritious dessert – artisan embroidery made by her favourite New York-based artist. Not much is needed to make your dinner not only delicious, but also stylish. With Comey, you can refresh your wardrobe for every #foodie occasion – from a brunch with your gals, to your romantic dinner with your love. And the aviator jacket with the shearling makes us drool! I bet that Rachel is as good at cooking as in fashion… hope to try her pasta once!
“One of our main influences was looking at the 20s through a 70s lens,” said one of the designers at Creatures of The Wind, Shane Gabier. The palette was rich with opulent Art Deco hues – especially the gold olive, which Gabier said “has reappeared in different decades, different places and in different subcultures.” The all-American collection (the stoles had free-life stars on them) had lots of metaphors having something to do with the country’s history – pilgrims, farmers, New York flea markets and even, the Steve Jobs turtlenecks. And all of that, mixed in a cool bohemia like mash-up. I love the use of fur and prints – the frivole skirt with monochrome checks is amazing, isn’t it? Just like the shoes, which really get hot, keeping in the mind that the brand starts its strong expansion.
Smile, America!
Thom Browne ended the menswear fashion week in Paris with a beautiful, dark touch. And, it was definitely one of the strongest TB collections ever. Even if all others are masterpieces. But what I love about this one, is the romantic side of colour black. The models wore massively decorated hats by Stephen Jones millinery and the signature suits with a white shirt and tie. However it didn’t look simple. The blazers had embroidered whales and turtles; each leather glove had an embellished label tag on it; the fur coats looked magical combined with the brogues and the doctor bag. Everything clothed under a layer of black silk. Simply saying, an example of couture for men. A darkly theatrical opening (a man rising from a bed, dressing in black, and then apparently shuffling off this mortal coil) set the stage for a parade of mourners to make their way down a white runway, dusted with black snow. Bravo.
