Not another post about Brazilian fashion

July 2, 2008 · No Comments

Yeah, I know you’ve probably had enough, but I just must blog about Triton. Over at Kirafashion are some great pictures of their new collection showcased at Sao Paulo Fashion Week. I love the way it ticks off all the trends (ruffels, high waisted, frills) and yet has a unique rockabilly touch to it. Their current autumn/winter collection has some nice pieces too, although it’s a bit too Gossip Girl for me with lots of college blazers, berets and preppy trousers.

The future is bright

How is it possible that I have not heard of Mary Katrantzou before? The Greek born Central St Martin’s fashion graduate does the most amazing, boldly coloured print dresses that give the illusion of wearing giant futuristic necklaces.

The secret’s out…

Ok ok, I admit. I read Grazia, there you have it stone me, tar me and drag me through the streets. This week they feature Acne Jeans, which looks just the right kind of edgy, pretty, cool to me.

I promise this will be my last German fashion post for a while but I just have to share my delight about German design duo Boessert Schorn. Perfect cuts and colours.

Sao Paulo Summer

June 11, 2008 · No Comments

I am planning to head off to Brazil for Christmas, which will include one mammoth shopping trip in Sao Paulo. One label I won’t miss is Teca. They just showed at Rio Fashion Week, and I am really into the clash of patterns and vivid colours.

It’s summer and I’m craving sweet floral nothings and cotton candy colours. Paul & Joe Sister is perfect.

Prose Studio

I know Hyeres happened ages ago, but I am still intrigued enough by the only German contestant, Miriam Lehle, to blog about her now.  It isn’t really the deconstructivism of her collection but the colour pallet, the fragile golden and nude tones, paired with earthy, heavy cloths and bulky shoes, that I like.

I am feeling all hot and bothered…

…simply by looking at Phillip Lim’s amazing clothes. Supposedly inspired by New York City, Lim’s 3.1 clothing line is full of fantastic feminine shapes, delicate shift dresses and frocks and edgy knitwear.

White Wedding

May 30, 2008 · No Comments

I am off to my friend’s wedding this weekend, which once again made me think about wedding dresses and my horror of all things meringue.

But there is help at hand. Lanvin’s designer Alber Elbaz has designed the most beautiful range of wedding dresses, most of them 1920s inspired. I just love these two:

Yet another high street collaboration

May 28, 2008 · No Comments

But I quite like this one. I’m a fan of American designer Alexander Wang’s sharp monochrome tailoring so I was quite looking forward to his line for Uniqlo. There will be five dresses in total all for under £30. I am sure the white/grey shift (second below) will find its way into my wardrobe.
