Fashion Week Spring 2015: PARIS

I can't believe I haven't posted for more than a week, so I must confess that I'm going to go through these posts as quickly as I can just to keep up! Fashion Week concludes with its final destination in Paris, and it rings quite true when they say, you save the best for last. There's just so much to love but I'll try to narrow it down so we won't suffer from sashay shante overload!

Gareth Pugh I always think that Pugh's collections are something to behold, to stare at for a few good minutes. I always love his concepts and silhouettes as its boundaries are set between being pragmatic and bewildering.

Zuhair Murad Sexy silhouettes with sultry red lace and delicious plum colors. Zuhair is showing a little bit of his wild side and I am loving it!

Louis Vuitton Great Merlin's beard... The devil is in the details---leather kneecaps. I am not too keen right now on the purses but the clothes spell style with a capital S! Oh Mr.Ghesquière, you are a genius (and handsome to boot!).

Elie Saab This is Elie Saab we're talkin' about here. I want to crack his skull open and pick his brain. Sorry, I go morbid when I get overly excited.

Balenciaga To say that Alexander Wang definitely more than exceeds the expectations of loyal Balenciaga fans is THE understatement of all understatements this season---because damn, this kid has ideas. Like, big ideas. Wow.

Chloe Fun, flowy and flirty. Chloe keeps it sassy with billowy blouses and chiffon skirts.

Balmain I love the two-tone over-sized vests and the technicolor leather top. Olivier Rousteing just keeps getting better, and he's only what, 27? Balmain is surely laughing all the way to the bank.

Valentino From bold prints to delicate sheer dresses, Valentino hits the nail on the high fashion head.

This post could just go on and on, but one thing we can undeniably agree on is that you can't expect anything less than this in Paris. Amazing shows from creative geniuses, can't wait to see them in stores!

Toodles!

Fashion Week Spring 2015: MILAN

It's no surprise that Milan and Paris are my favorite choices for Fashion Week. There's just so much raw talent and astounding craftsmanship to be told in the designs showed in both cities. To be immersed in the beauty and complexity of it all is something I'd like to achieve and experience myself. With a little bit of planning and God's blessing, I hope to study in Florence someday. But for now, I'm just gonna have to dream about making snow angels with lace, silk and flower appliques. No crystals, 'coz that shhh would hurt.

Dolce & Gabbana La Isla Bonita! I'm lovin' the Spanish matador/torero influence (although I am totally against the act of bullfighting!), white collared shirts and heart-shaped embellishments. Domenico and Stefano can do no wrong.

Alberta Ferretti Light and romance. Who would have thought that denim and silk could have a heavenly marriage?

Etro I would bet you three snails and a panda that if Pocahontas wore these fabulous outfits, her main man, Captain John, wouldn't have left her!

Philipp Plein Long live the moto jacket! Chain details...quilted leather... please excuse the drool.

Bottega Veneta A utilitarian's dream come true. Effortlessly chic with fabulous belted coats and pastel monochromatic sets!

Luisa Beccaria Delicate appliques, chiffon and soft, billowy silhouettes. It's like spending one glorious day in a secret garden!

All this fabulosity is making me teary-eyed. Or maybe I'm just hungry again.

Toodles!

Fashion Week Spring 2015: LONDON

London may not be showing as much designers as its other counterparts but that doesn't stop the endless energy and creativity that is evidently shown on the runway! They had some notable shows and Erdem is definitely one of my faves this season.

Here are my top picks:

Erdem Dark, intricate and dreamy. If I ever get lost in a lush, dark jungle, I can always count on this collection to keep me on my fashion toes while running away from those that go bump in the night!
