Alexander Wang's fashion show has been one of the best of this New York FW (wish I was there!!). He definitely did his job. Here some pics of my favorite outfits from the runway. I adored the asymetric cuts of the jackets, the transparent light wide shirt and furs everywhere, even though I am not a fan of real fur. Mixing that soft knit with the lucid silk and the refined cut of the dress in the first pic was genial. I also enjoyed the relaxed cut of the pants that doesn't affect at all their elegance.
Altogether, I love the minimalist choice of black, white, antique rose and not too many details, but playing on cuts and shapes. 
Much more fun with accessories and shoes: insane shapes (Wang's must when it comes to shoes) metallic materials. In love.


PS: I posted the video because the choice of a gloomy, dark atmosphere and the music, plus all those models crossing the runway apparently with no order combines perfectly with the collection. Enjoy also "Smack my bitch up" by Prodigy, at the end of the video.

Loving the rock-chic edge of the tee and the ripped jean. Adoring the black fur. Too bad I can't see the boots.

her morning beauty





Beautiful shoot from the magazine my mum just bought me. Thanks mum.
So simple yet beautiful. Like today. I had to wait for a bus that never arrived. Despite this annoying detail, I was waiting at the bus stop with my iPod playing Neil Young, a golden sunlight behind me and a chilly air. Loved it.

Today's post HAD to be about her. After Carine Rotfield laid down the crown of editor-in-chief of Vogue Paris, I think almost all the fashion world was wondering who would take over from her. And today the breaking news: Emmanuelle Alt. Previously Fashion Director of Vogue Paris, Emmanuelle doesn't miss an outfit. And how could she? Coming from the stylish Lubeck School, she has some pedigree schoolmates such as  Cécilia Sarkozy, Caroline Deroche of Givenchy and Victoire de Castellane of Dior. Her husband Franck Durand is artistic director for Isabel Marant. What else? Stunning style, mixing some rock'n'roll leather jackets with more ladylike pointy toe boots and the basics: very simple tees, tank tops and unfalling black skinny jeans. Well, I'm looking forward to see her on the job.

Il post di oggi DOVEVA essere su di lei. Dopo che Carine Rotfield ha deposto lo scettro di editor-in-chief di Vogue Paris, immagino che quasi tutto il mondo della moda si stesse arrovellando per cercare di indovinare chi avrebbe preso il suo posto. E oggi la notizia: Emmanuelle Alt. Prima Fashion Director di Vogue Paris, Emmanuelle non sbaglia un outfit. E come potrebbe? Uscita dalla superglamour Lubeck School, e con compagne di classe con il pedigree come Cecilia Sarkozy, Caroline Deroche di Givenchy e Victorie de Castellane di Dior, suo marito è niente meno che il direttore artistico per Isabel Marant. Che altro? Stile superlativo, un mix tra giacche di pelle di gusto rock'n'roll e più eleganti stivali a punta con i capi basic: magliette e canotte molto semplici e gli immancabili skinny jeans neri. Che dire? Non vedo l'ora di vederla all'opera.
