Glass half full

It was so exciting to be back at Fashion Week for Day 2 of an absolute concentration of fashion lust. The collections, the people, their style and the excitement of the runway shows. I'm so grateful to be here again this year and will never get tired of attending fashion week.

Wandering gardens

A sleep-in and a morning juice, I was set to wander West Hollywood's pedestrian-less streets in search for the exciting that you may not find in a tourists guide. A walk through a side street of Madison Ave and I had found a beautiful, quaint street with a tree shaded side walk and sweet garden flowers. And behold.... It was Chloe and Oscar De La Renta!

A random stroll has allowed me to find hidden and sometimes not so hidden gems that I would otherwise not been able to visit, enjoy and create memories.

This may have just captured the moment I fell in LOVE with L.A.

Xsenia & Olya
Spring/Summer 2013
Vancouver Fashion Week

A combination of prints, sheers and solid colours were beautifully presented in the designs of Xsenia & Olya. A feeling of summer just around the corner was evoked and I just wanted to enjoy a cocktail overlooking the Bondi Beach in one of these great dresses. The tailored jackets brought a chic glamour to your office look and the sheer over dress could easily be worn throighout summer in many ways. From a beach cover up to as worn on the runway layering your garments creating astyle of your own.

This collection had a versatile range of pieces with many personalities in each garment. Printed leggings with a solid colour back were nicely paired with a white button up and I envision these on a Sunday evening out with the girls. This collection has such a positive vibe and many pieces I can see easily transfered from the runway to your everyday wardrobe.

 

 

 

 

 

Half Way

Vancouver Fashion Week

Designer focus - Gert-Johan Coetzee

I'm writing this as Vancouver Fashion Week is well underway, half way to be precise. I have been lucky enough to enjoy the runway shows for this event, and view both local Canadian and international designers.

South Africian designer Gert-Johan Coetzee brought a personality that was flurescent and a world of aesthetically plaesing design details. From leather, arcyllic and tulle the collection of multiple silhouettes shone into the spotlight of day one of Vancouver Fashion Week.

 

Laser cut arcylic detailling on garments, jewellery and belts added a textural element to this collection. This also added to the contrast colourway of lime and black, evoking a feeling from the viewers of adding fun to elegance. I have had the chance to met with Gert, the designer and he definately adds fun and elegance to his own personal style.

Overall his collection was cohesive as a range, showed great construction and interesting design details that kept you wanting more.

MARIMEKKO

I was lucky enough to attend the Marimekko collection showing during New York Fashion Week. This design company has been a leader in print design and well known for their choices in colour since the companies first runway show in 1951. True to the brands aesthetic, this collection was bright, bold and a fun show to be at.
