FORMICHETTI LEAVING MUGLER !!!

Today mister Nicola Formichetti announces that he will resign from French power house MUGLER after only 2 years. Formicetti tells us on his official Facebook page: its was a great 2 years at MUGLER. hope you all enjoyed our journey together. but now its time to move on!! x @muglerlive

In my opinion sad news But us fashionistas got use to designers who leave their houses over the last 2 years, i hope that Nicola will show-up at the doorstep of an other grand and dusty fashion house to do some serious cleaning....OR is he ready for his own fashion brand?

Dear mister Formichetti thank you for the amazing revamp of Thierry Mugler and good luck with all the amazing things you do, big Panda love for you xoxo

COOL AND HAPPY JEWELS

The LANVIN f/w show during the last Paris Fashion Week was very opulent in it's own way and i'm only talking about the jewels this time. Big golden chains with beautiful Pearls, nothing new you may think BUT what about the street-style words hanging around the models neck as well....THIS I REALLY LIKE !!!

MY OTHER STORIES

Ones upon a time in a little town called Heerlen, there lived a girl with a huge craving for fashion and she fed herself with all the fashion she could find, Magazines, books, expositions, online-shops and fashion weeks.

After 5 years of blogging and wandering the streets of Paris in search of the good stuff, this fashionista heard a whisper of a complete other story....H&M will launch a new fashion brand with a catchy name & OTHER STORIES, this was news she was waiting for SO, she run as fast as her heels could carry to her favorite concept store COLETTE to find this new brands cosmetics lying there for her to buy....she felt like a kid in a candy store.

A few days later the first actual Other Stories store opened in London, followed by the online shop and one week after that a boutique in Copenhagen, The same day this fashionista received her first parcel from their online shop and one step closer to her wardrobe perfection !!!

All the goods in a lovely dust-bag.

Cotton white biker jacket, black satin belt, black low cut tank-top and the necklace i fell in love with.

Even the delivery note made me giggle, a nice envelope WITH a sample of one of their beauty products and the kind words....THANK YOU, i say....NO NO NO, THANK YOU !!!

RICCARDO TISCI FOR RIHANNA

For her DIAMONDS WORLD TOUR miss RiRi wants to shine in some amazing stage outfits, 2 of them have found their way out of her secret tour closet and on to the world wide web.

PFW: PACO RABANNE F/W 13/14

MY EIGHT FASHION SHOW DURING PARIS FASHION WEEK: PACO RABANNE. Last November the fashion house named their new creative director: Lydia Maurer, and now only 3 months later she presented her first collection.

Maurer showed us a collection that was a mix of high-school girls and medieval knight in shinning armor, totally different than the designers who went before her, more classy even preppy if you may call it that, it's fresh clean and i hope that she will put some more edge in the following collections, which Paco Rabanne is best known for....FINGERS CROSSED & DUMBS UP !!!
