SCHIAPARELLI COUTURE S/S 14

I have deep love for the house SCHIAPARELLI. It started a few years ago when I saw an amazing necklace by Elsa Schiaparelli at an auction, violet colored semi-precious gems in an art-deco setting, a fashion crush was born.

So for me it was amazing news that the Couture house was re-entering the fashion market. First there was Christian Lacroix as guest designer and now Schiaparelli has found it's own creative director in Marco Zanini who just showed his first S/S 2014 Couture collection ....I THINK MY CRUSH TURNED INTO LOVE !!!

BALMAIN PRE-FALL 2014

Usually i'm not keen on the PRE-FALL collections but Olivier Rousteing from BALMAIN surprised me good. Just love the feel/color/print he used. I already picture myself going on a fashion safari, let's say early October in the rough street of Paris....URBAN JUNGLE THE WAY I LIKE IT !!!

H&M RECYCLED FIBER COLLECTION

In February 2013 H&M started collecting our old and worn out clothes in the hope that they could make new garments out of them, well, IT WORKED !!! H&M created 5 musthave denim pieces for men and women which are made from fibers from those old and worn out clothes.
The capsule collection will hit selected H&M stores worldwide by the end of February 2014. How cool is That....OUT WITH THE OLD, IN WITH THE NEW !!!
