I saw these images from Filippa K’s autumn/winter 2010 campaign at The Fashionisto’s blog the other day. The campaign features Danish model Mathias Lauridsen. Filippa K is one of my favourite brands and they’re opening a new flagship store in Oslo in September! The address of the new store will be Øvre Slottsgate right next to where another Swedish superbrand, Acne, will open their flagship store in August.
Right after the Paris Menswear Fashion Week ended and right before the Couture week started, Paris played host to a new fashion event – Paris Fashion Days. The new event aims to provide creative labels and lower-priced designer lines with a platform to showcase their garnments. Seven labels showcased their spring/summer 2011 collections during the two day long event. One of these labels was Vivienne Westwood’s diffusion line – Anglomania.
The collection had elements reminiscent of Vivienne Westwood’s punk and pirate collections. The show also included a number of pieces from Anglomania’s collaboration with denim label Lee. According to Vivienne Westwood’s Facebook-page, this collection looked to bikers, rockers and festival goers for inspiration.
A big ‘Well Done’ thumb up to Sarah Burton who was Alexander McQueen’s right hand and now the newly pointed creative director of the fashion house. New resort 2011 collection left me speechless, here’s the proof.
Following the previous post, I need to finish this entry about my 1 day visit at Shanghai Expo. It is a short time to be able to cover so many pavilions. So I was trying to avoid any pavilions with a queue, i.e. Japan pavilion is apparently filled with amazing new techs such as a robot can play violin?!
I found myself having great fun with countries from middle Asia—Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan; Pacific Island Countries such as Samoa, Fiji, Solomon Islands; as well as all south Asian countries, Vietnam, Cambodia, Indonesia. These countries are focused on showing their beautiful landscape and amazing handcrafts. I was particularly intrigued by Indonesian batik print and here I’ve taken a string of blur photos, though blur, still could feel the extraordinaire.
Black pump is definitely a wardrobe essential. Being a size UK4.5 is sometimes quite difficult to find a nice and comfy pair which doesn’t slip at the back. I was loyal to my old KG one for years until recently to my new found—-Vivienne Westwood for Mellisa. It’s perfect with its design in black and leopard bows, comfortable in soft and perfumy plastic jelly, breathy with open-toe design. It comes in 3 different colours, black, brown and jelly brown with a Retail price for £70 at ASOS. Maybe you should get a pair too??
