DVF Fashion week NY SS2013


El metalizado con colores pasteles es increible. Me encanta la coleccion de Diane Von Furstenberg, una de las pocas disenadoras americanas que siempre marca tendencia y aporta ideas ridiculas pero que funcionan. Pantalones bajo el vestido.... hay que probarlo.

"CHARLOTTE RONSON" NY SS13


 
Corto, sexy y refrescante. Charlotte Ronson fue un show super concurrido. Negro va con todo, no hay duda sobre esto.

"JASON WU" NY fashion week SS2013


Bueno no podia ser menos Jason Wu...en NY spring-summer 2013 . Transparencias, cuero y el look formal sin perder feminidad . Excelente !!

"BCBG MAXAZRIA " NY SS13


Primer show y uno de mis colecciones favoritas. El balance de Encaje, cuero y seda es la armonia perfecta para estar sexy y elegante. Sinceramente empezar una temporada de fashion week asi  me da la energia para seguir las proximas 4 semanas y con muchas ganas. Espero poder decir lo mismo hoy despues del show de Nicolle Miller .

Moroccan Travels...










One of the Dolls took the opportunity provided from last weeks wedding extravaganza to escape to Morocco for the event... In a remote country where time seems to have stood still for 100 years - mystery was around every corner and peoples friendliness and smiles was utterly infectious - we came back feeling just that little bit wiser and a whole lot happier.... We were fascinated by the energy and courage in Marrakech, but fell in love with Essaouira where kitesurfing, animals and ancient culture mixed in perfect harmony..

Men can colour block too this summer

At the Menswear shows in Paris earlier this year Model Wang Fei gave us a glimpse of how men can colour block too this summer.

Latex - Fashion Forecast by Sol Watle 


Over the last few years Latex has begun to make a definite transition away from fetish and full on into fashion. Designers have started to use this incredible material in creative, elegant, and delicate forms in their collections and as a result it has started to shake off its previous connotations of being solely linked to fetish apparel.

The VPL Autumn Winter 2011 collection included wrapped and architecturally shaped pieces combined with a clever use of different textures. Latex had been mixed in amongst the nylon, wools, leather, rubber and elastics and was used to make trench coats, leggings, bras and bodysuits as well as to finely coat chain necklaces.

Nicola Formichetti newly appointed creative director at Thierry Mugler used latex, leather, plastic and mesh in his debut collection for the label. Latex and leather trousers were teamed with sophisticated tailored jackets in black, peach, blue, nudes and white teamed with an array of the highest platforms to hit the catwalk.

Y-3 Fashion Forecast by Sol Watle

We are always unconsciously wanting to come back. It is one of man’s strongest desires. 
(Yohji Yamamoto)

The realization of a journey back to the wildness in which Yamamoto presents this Autunm-Winter /11 his collection with voluminous and exaggerated silhouettes. Inspired by the nature of escape, he enhances the garments with prints and patches, spelling out comfort with hooded ponchos, elaborate cut-away dresses, pleated skirts, wool puffer shrugs and oversized wide-leg pants. In the center of the collection’s theme we can find tones of black, olive and red.
