LALIQUE targets FASHIONISTA'S

Lalique (best known for interior designs and it's lovely perfumes, like Perle the Lalique....my favorite) will launch a new jewelry-line that will target us fashionista's, it will contain 30 pieces in silver or gold and you can choose for crystal, white or champagne coloured diamonds. the price ranch will be between 420 and 5840 dollar. by the look of this ring, i really think high fashion, it will look very good with a PROENZA SCHOULER cardigan or a MATTHEW WILLIAMSON dress don't ya think? the new collection will be available during spring 2012 at Lalique boutiques in London, New York and Paris.....this fashionista will definitely go hunting for some new jewels !!!

SIGNORINA FERRAGAMO

Italian designer brand: Salvatore Ferragamo is a huge hit this fall (thanks to LADY GAGA and friends who all wore that black&white "pied de poule" dress and shoes and clutch and...), NOW Ferragamo comes with a new scent for us girls called SIGNORINA.
Signorina opens with red current and pink peppercorn then leads to a heart of peony, jasmin and rose, the base....mmmm very nice....musk, patchouli and vanilla but there's an extra accord with a gourmand touch....PANACOTTA, isn't that DE-LIS-IOUS (on sale from February 2012).

the MEN of VERSACE for H&M

OMG, they look HOT (OK, a little bit too gay-ish but still smoking hot !!!), just look at those amazing colours, that black&white print, those leather pants and that fabulous scarf (forget the women collection, i'm gonna run for the men's department).
THIS IS THE BEST PRESENT H&M COULD GIVE ME ON MY BIRTHDAY (November 17Th, the launch of this amazing collaboration).

PFW: BALMAIN

I LOVE BALMAIN IN EVERY SEASON but this spring 2012 collection is really my dream wardrobe (the fabrics, cut, feel, tightness, accessories, colour use etc, etc)....this all thanks to their new designer OLIVIER ROUSTEING, gave Christophe Decarnin an amazingly expensive trashy look, Rousteing continues on the same foot but not with that trashy finish, the Balmain woman becomes polished and that exactly what they needed from a new designer. one thing still bugs me about BALMAIN....TO EXPENSIVE !!! but thank god that's gonna change with their more affordable PIERRE BALMAIN line (on sale from early spring....gonna shop till i drop.)

PFW: LANVIN

I THINK THAT LANVIN IS ALWAYS A SMASHING HIT but usually it's a little bit to girly for me (if you know what i mean), for spring 2012 Alber Albaz gave us a more POWER WOMAN with some amazing looks (just look at those pants and pencil-skirts, FANTASTIC!!!), to die for accessories (i really got to get me one of those big crosses for around my neck) and spot-on prints (like that "snake" print dress at the end, it's not a all-over print but actually the whole snake, YESSSSSSSS me like this).

PFW: CLAUDINE IVARI

sorry for my absence, i had a big styling job to do in an other part of the Netherlands....SO, i could not post anything, again sorry.

Paris fashion week is not over yet, i still have some interesting thing to show you, like this new designer CLAUDINE IVARI. born on august 8 1985 in Paris, she studied at the American university of Paris and then she wanted to study "nouvelle couture" at the renowned fashion school, ESMOD....and YES, she makes new couture, the garments looked really divine up close, the right kind of fabrics and amazing beading, can't wait to see what she has in store for the fall 2012 (talking about stores, google her avenue Marceau boutique and be amazed) .

PFW: AMAYA ARZUAGA

So, let's go back to Paris fashion week, this time a piece about my favorite spanish designer....Amaya Arzuaga, i just adore her....she always designs from a female-point of view BUT with an edge, and that's just the thing i love about her. enough chit-chat, let's get on with the show....the runway was at the CITE DE LA MODE ET DESIGN (a green and odd looking building, but nice for a fashion show).
usualy i'm no fan of sorbet colours but these garments look hot (i mean really hot, have you looked at those necklines? muy caliente), i'm obsessed by one outfit, the mint coloured dress from the 3th picture (those black lines, the pleating of the skirt and the little sleeve, i would love to get me this one). during the next season of paris fashion week i will have some more to show you from this designer and maybe i can delight you with an interview that i hope to plan with AMAYA ARZUAGA, for now enjoy spring 2012 !!!

PFW: GASPARD YURKIEVICH

It's 12 pm and i'm at THE GRAND INTERCONTINENTAL hotel on the rue Scribe for the Gaspard Yurkievich s/s 2012 fashion show (i know where i'm sleeping during the next fashion week, what a glamorous hotel). again, a very beautiful salon with an AMAZING chandelier hanging in the middle, i stood still for a moment before i went to went to my seat....D4 (not bad).BUT my seat was not good enough, i could only see the top part of the models, SO here are some pictures of the models (with a little bit of fashion).after the show i went outside for some daylight and when i walked outside i bumped into a lovely dutch girl with an amazing GIVENCHY bag.and then some girls who walked the show (finally i saw some model-legs).
unfortunately i can't tell or show you what the new collection will look like SO google away i say (i'm gonna do the same, so that i too can see what it will be) !!!
