Something a little offbeat always happens in Mona Kowalska’s A Détacher collection. And it’s a welcome weirdness. A few days before her Spring show, Kowalska spoke about an Italo Calvino quote that resonated with her: “‘Childhood boredom is a special kind of boredom.’ It leads to this world of fantasy, daydreams, and innocent fun,” said Kowalska. But my favourite thing about the show was the make-up. Tiny, shiny stars were sticked to model’s chins, creative a naive, infantile mood. This one might really cheer up your day!

#TBT: YSL’s SS08 Stardust
When Mr. Stefano Pilati was at helm of Saint Laurent (back then still YSL), the Summer 2008 collection was all about plastic stars worn as tops and embroideries on the shoes and dresses… it was very pop and cheerful. Looking back at it, I have a feeling that Hedi Slimane’s grunge isn’t so far away from Laurent’s chic!
