LFW - Street style

LFW - Street style

day 3. And good morning to you

LFW - Eudon Choi

One of the stars of day one at LFW was Eudon Choi (see old post here).
Varykino, the AW13 show, was inspired by Russian folklore. Delicate flowered headbands and the reception of the audience with a band playing live music.
Embroidered skirts and jackets, vivid colors in addition to monochrome styles, pom-poms on the shoes as a finishing touch. It all added up and we were delighted with every piece.
THAT RED DRESS...The sound of the cameras was even louder.
And the pink knitted jumper and scarf,
And the leather dress,
And the Swarovski details...
Applauded by specialised press like Vogue, FT, The LFW Daily and dozens of bloggers, Eudon  combined full textures with feminine silhouettes.
His wearable collections are available here, and probably soon at many retailers in Europe.
Stay tuned for more LFW updates.

Anna Sui - NYFW

I couldn't resist. I saw it and a wanted it.

A tie necklace. 

I have a weakness about ties worn by women.

But the way it's mixed with a digital print dress, the romantic collar and the 60's like vest is supreme.

gaffer&fluf - Unleash your creativity

Greek young designer founded Gaffer&Fluff in 2008, and this year they were exhibiting at Pure London. 

They presented a fresh collection inspired by origami: in the same way this beautiful art of folding a piece of paper works, Gaffer&Fluff clothes allow you to play with them, reinventing your look during the day.

The garments evolve and adapt to the wearer's mood and occasion thanks to their geometrical forms. This is a playful collection based on minimal clothes that allow individual expression.

The game is not over.

NYFW - Back to the hood

Symmetrical baroque prints, long gloves, metallics, orange and blue touches of color, combination of navy and black, leather, leather and more leather.

Here we are, absorbing the overwhelming amount of beautiful trends presented by leading designers at the Mercedes Benz Fashion Week in New York.

And it seems that they have heard our prayers and we won't be getting cold next year. 

The hood is back, and so is layering of knitting, fur, wool and leather. I'm particularly loving the details on Helmut Lang show, with the leather trimmings (see below). It is a more feminine look, rather than sportswear influenced, using soft textures like wool and fur. Once again, it represents a modern and confident woman.

Last but not least: beauty alert! We've seen lots of blue on the eyelids.

Stay tuned for the latest trends presented this month in the fashion shows.

Alexander Wang

Street style - Military cloak

Yesterday, while wandering around Pure London I came across a stand within the "Young Talent" section and met Patrick, who was wearing this amazing vintage inspired corduroy cape.

Patrick is a designer from London, and he expresses his passion for fashion and urban life through his label Dabra. 

I love how he mixed an oversized cloak with plaid trousers, giving the outfit a "heritage" look. Quite appropriate for a freezing and rainy day in London.

He won't be getting cold these days.
