A BLAST FROM THE PAST!

Fresh and witty with the known elements. With these words the latest Spring/Summer 2021 collection by Chanel. Seems like Virginie Viard has found her design signature that corresponds so in-tuned with the classic Chanel aesthetic. The Parisian chic with the note of the famous Gabrielle Chanel tomboy-ish approach was the highlight and the leading line in the creative signature for this collection.

The famous jersey piece was there incorporated on almost every outfit but this time it was more softened and voluminous on the shoulders and light accentuated on the waistline. There were plenty of t-shirts and pullovers with the CHANEL logo all over it. Paired with the Bermudas alike trousers were reminiscing the perfect French-style uniform.

With the plenty of micros and mini accessories from the bags to the bags-alike-phone-chargers, the collection was an homage to the Chanel aesthetic and those topics for which this house has been known for: the subtle feminine side paired with the high elegance but in the very wearable and approachable mannerism. For Chanel, this was the look back but in a good way, or to be more precise, a blast from the past, the secure fit that goes perfectly with the expectations of the old but it is modern and interesting enough for the new customers.

Honestly, Chanel never goes out of style. And with this collection that could be seen as the playful manifesto of it, it has brought us another exciting and beautiful collection full of amazing pieces and style inspirations! 

What do you think about this collection? Do you find it very Chanel and which looks do you like the most?

LESSONS ON FEMINISM BY PACO RABANNE

If you are familiar with the fashion mainstream, you know what the design of Paco Rabanne is all about. He projects always a fearless woman that is secure in her seduction but in her strength too. In the era of the self-proclaimed fashion "Feminists", the fashion by Paco Rabanne is unpretentious about the strength of a woman who likes to be noticed yet aware of her worth!

And the latest Fall 2020 Ready To Wear collection was in all that Paco Rabanne habitat giving us the modern era urban warrior-ess that has been elevated in so many heterogeneous facets. From the light metal textures that astonished in their micro-fine notes, to the ensembles that allure of at the fluid armor editions.

There were slightly pure romantic pieces like long dresses with dark floral prints. Even the blazer and trouser combination have had that deep melancholic feeling with the structured forms and high collars. This only indicates the neo-baroque touch that was the juxtapositioned in this collection. Metal, shield, armor, knights and dames, well, in this case, only dames. Is there anything more empowering than this!

This collection is a perfect example of how to speak about feminism without being pretentious and in the frame of cheap parole. Some current designers could learn so much from it, for example, __________ fill the blank with the name you want!
(The real fashion connoisseurs will know!)

What do you think about this collection? Which pieces and looks do you find the most interesting?

Thank you for your attention!

RICHARD QUINN'S FASHION REVOLUTION

London Fashion Week has been in full spin. With the attitude as the fashion week that is the most courageous when we think about the experimental attribute that is characteristic for it, seems that this year was so far the best one

If we take a look just in the collection that has almost swept away all collections by its innovative artistic idea is definitely the one by Richard Quinn. It seems like with this collection he has unleashed the pushing forward pure fashion ethos that has been gone, well with the sad departure of the iconic Alexander McQueen!

Exactly this kind of neo-McQueen-isms was on the first ensembles sent down the runway. The metallic textures that evoked the villain or knight era in the totally trendy/savage kind if way embodied in the dresses and jackets or pant have hit at the first glimpse what the fashion should be!

That 'Oh, so Couture' moment was gradually stepping down in the favor of the famous Quinn floral prints involved in the rich and opulently voluminous silhouettes. Even the drama was gone when the models were wearing a smile on their faces as the show was going towards the final exits.

And they were only but plein. With the stunning eye for micro-dresses that still allure in all their glamorous glory and with the drama pure indoctrinated version of a wedding dress, Richard Quinn has finalized this collection celebrating the hoy of being The Creator and Designer that has brought a breath of fresh style air in almost common gone quotidian fashion!

What do you think about this collection？ Do you think it is too.exoerimwntal for the concept of Ready To Wear？

Thank you for your attention!

IS RED CARPET GLAM STILL OUT THERE?!

The new year and the new seasons in the fashion but in the most exciting time of the year, the numerous awards season where all those fashion glorious and flamboyant ensembles could be rocked! Yesterday the Golden Globes were presented and at this point, I honestly don´t have the favorite dress or outfit to declare which is sad!

I always look for that WOWZA effect but it has been gone for a while, well for almost a decade, so I don´t know it is that the fashion is gone wrong or maybe the stylists are not so good enough as they were in the past. But yet, there are few awards to be held, so let us keep our fingers crossed! Ok, that could be a theme for another post but since this is the first post in the 2020 year, I have chosen to talk about the latest collection and maybe get the inspiration for this year´s award season!

If anyone has established the perfect but not save and so refined aesthetic for the red carpet is definitely Monique Lhuillier. Her design is mostly rounded with the stunning gowns and dresses with a huge feminine impact! Sometimes the less is better, or to be precise, why complicate a simple and things that work!

It seems like this was a motto when the word was for Fall 2020 Ready To Wear collection in the house of Monique Lhuillier! One thing that goes undertoned when we talk about Monique Lhuillier is definitely her love for the lightness in the textures. That is why her dresses are the perfect choice for the red carpets. They follow the body moves but still dazzle very structurally friendly and "Imposant"!

In the concept of ML, everything is in the equilibrium, nothing is too much or too little! Like the long sweeping length dresses that fall very soft and ethereal. And to give it a glamorous swing you have the cutouts or the naked off one shoulder moment! The prints are, just like everything, very refined and almost on the level of the micro-sizes. This only shows how tasteful and well rounded the design and the style vision by Monique Lhuillier is.

And if you desire something that will "rock your boat" kind of wardrobe piece, in this collection she offers the ladylike Le Smoking version with the mini length edition. For everyone else, there are plenty of embellished materials, fringes, ultra big bows, and capes. All spiced with the few fuchsia vibrant colored ensembles just to give it a visual boost or to make you fall instantly in this collection!

If you look for something extra that is still wearable and approachable, free from the stiff and reduced structures, a real feminine fashion, this collection could juice your fashion appetites! I mean what is not to like about it! I hope some of the A-list celebrity stylists take a look at it, to deliver a WOWZA moment on the red carpet, finally!

What do you think about this collection? Which look do you find the most interesting? Are there any red carpet moment that you find the best ever?

Thank you for your attention!
