Frills and thrills

Big, huge trend for the silly season.

The Slip Dress

One of the biggest fashion moments from Spring 2016 runways was the return of the "Slip dress". From Calvin Klein to Céline, from Balenciaga to Alexander Wang, this 90's icon was everywhere.

How will you wear it?

GIVENCHY SPRING 2016

No. 21

I totally missed this collection from the italian brand N.º21 but I've redeemed myself. It's definitely going to influence me for the next season, I'm loooving the ruffled dresses over the t-shirts, shirts or tanks, I will use this in a near future. It has the "90's stamp" all over.

Are the 90's the next 70's? yes, please...

Straight off the runway

NYFW #Alexanderwang

Ten years have passed since the eternal kid started showing his work on the runways, season after season his brand grew and was consolidated, then he started to take other risks like being the head designer for the french powerhouse Balenciaga and designing a collection for a major high street brand, H&M for those hiding from the world.

Now he's taking another risk, the risk of not being able to deal with his dismissal from Balenciaga, I always felt that this venture wasn't meant to be, it felt unnatural, the Balenciaga brand and Alexander Wang were two opposites that didn't attract each other, the exception to the rule.

Well, let's not pitty Wang because as you can see from his SS16 collection, the kid is talented.
He can always surprise you and entice you to his state of mind, I immediately want to bring back all those clothes I had from the late 90's early 00's, from the patchwork leather and denim jacket, the white tees, the hip-hop references, the style mix-match with lace slip dresses paired with sneakers and bomber jackets.

It's all gonna be OK kid.

NYFW #Givenchy

So NYFW is well underway and I'm trying to catch up with every show. I had a very slow weekend so I was able to take a peek at pretty much every show so far, includding the video from the most anticipated Givenchy show, this time the french house crossed the atlantic to showcase another emotional collection straight from Tisci's dramatic heart.

It was truly a show, in charge of the concept was the highly regarded Marina Abramovic. I wasn't there, obviously, but those who were felt involved by the athmosphere created wich honored the tragedy that struck the city and the world fourteen years ago.

Intentions aside, the clothes weren't overstaged by the complexity of the show, they stood up on their own. Black and white ruled the runway as well as the 90's silhouettes. Shift dresses, strapped tops a romantic touch of lace and tailored pant suits. The higlight of the show were the amazing feathered gowns and face jewerly. Riccardo Tisci's work is reaching new hights and engraving his vision in our minds and hearts, a sincerely touching show.

And so it begins...

When the girls steal the show...

SS 2016 Menswear is in full force but to tell you the truth I feel that it's all about the girls...

Can you handle this pastel/gothic madness? I can't...
