PFW in a nutshell... #1

Chloé

My big crush every season, and this one is no exception, Chloé rocking the boho-chic look like no one else can. The understatement of the season would be for me to say that I would like to own every piece of clothing that Chloé designed for this season. This collection makes a smooth transition from the flowy bohemian spring summer collection to the the stiffness that winter clothes implie. The Chloé woman doesn't loose a bit of it's grace just because it's cold outside, that's for sure.

Céline

I can't say that this is my favorite work from Phoebe Philo but I think it's growing on me. slowly... I'ts not easy to spot the influences, I think it looks like a self-indulgent work from the designer that told Style.com that "The best part of this job is finding out more about myself,". I'm all about self- indulgence these days so, i'll give her a chance.

Stella McCartney

It's not easy to sum up this collection in 4 looks so I would definitely recommend a "trip" to  Style.com to see all the looks from the show. I tried to sum up the silhouettes and styles throughout the collection but all I really wanted was to show you the knits. Oh the knits made my day until I saw the winter macramé dresses, was that ever done?

Saint Laurent

All I can say about this is that I really wish Saint Laurents Hedi Slimane would conjure up something new. We've seen these type of looks every season and soon or later people will get tired. I'm tired and  I was a huge fan of the grunge revival... 

Hermés 

This leather jumpsuit is everything. I repeat, Everything.

Gianbattista Valli

Now, there is a sight for sore eyes. Love the styling, layering clothes like a pro is mandatory for winter and Valli is at pro-level. You can't be surprised for my love for this collection, there are sequins in day looks, graphic prints in pastel colors, furs and knee high laced up booties. It's what I call a "win-win situation".

To be continued... Chanel just presented its collection.

PFW# 2

A Isabel Marant consegue sempre captar a cool essence nas suas colecções, como a Style.com diz, a formula é sempre a mesma só varia o filtro mas o resultado é sempre o foco de atenção das cool girls que por aí andam. Não sei se sou cool ou não duvido mas esta colecção deixou-me maluquinha, era tudo o que precisava, tudo o que me apetece neste momento: muito preto e branco, muito cabedal, padrões gráficos de inspiração tribal, saias curtas, peças em ráfia mas com um ar ultra moderno e citadino how´s that possible? e alguns looks a quebrar o impacto do b&w em tons quentes. Só lamento ter que esperar pela próxima estação para a Zara se inspirar imitar na colecção de uma ponta à outra e eu poder ter algo que se assemelhe ao estilo de Isabel Marant.

PFW#1

A romântica em mim não podia deixar de dar uma espreitadela na colecção da Chloé. Esta seria sem dúvida uma das marcas abundantemente presente no meu guarda-roupa, caso ganhasse o euromilhões, o que deve ser complicado visto que raramente jogo, enfim pormenores... Quem nunca jogou ao "O que compravas se te saísse o euromilhões?". No meu jogo o que mudava, essencialmente e drasticamente, era o meu guarda-roupa e pouco mais, não quero carros espectaculares, não quero mansões em capitais europeias, quero um cantinho giro com um bom guarda-roupa, bilhetes de avião ilimitados e esta colecção da Chloé.
