Chanel cruise 2015 jackets aren’t they amazing?

Chanel cruise 2015 has officially arrived in stores. I already provided an insight into cruise bags, shoes and jewellery so lets continue with the jackets today. Chanel jackets are very much of a heritage thing of the brand. The iconic boxy, collarless pocket jacket shape was first introduced in 1954 by Coco Chanel and is popular until today! So is there a potential icon within the collection?

Fake Dior tribal earrings …?

There is a very popular procedure that repeats itself time and time again in fashion industry. An innovative piece is launched by a brand and popularised by media. Sooner or later the market is  flooded with lookalikes, many cheaper but also some at the same or slightly lower price level. So its nothing different with Dior’s iconic tribal earring – you know the one with one pearl on the earlobe and the other behind! The one Alexa Chung wore perfectly well for a Valentino dinner earlier this month.

Dior tribal, tee shirt, gum tee shirt, tribale … – Now there is something new on its way!

Having a look at the guests pictures from a party Dior hosted last week at the Guggenheim Museum in NYC it seems that the success of the Dior tribal earrings, which started to be sold  in summer 2013, simply won’t fade. But after some seasons of alterations of the signature Dior double pearl style you won’t believe what a supersingly beautiful new earring style arrives in stores at the moment!

Have you read “How to be Parisian”?

Have you seen the pictures of people camping over night in front of H&M stores in Singapore and Toronto. Its really impressive! As the collection they are queueing for is a heavily branded one I couldn’t help but think about “How to be Parisian”. In this book, published in September 2014, French model Caroline de Maigret calls on people not to wear logos. Don’t wear logos you are not a billboard! Kind of confusing, isn’t it? So what about logos at the moment are they in style or a thing of yesterday?

10 years of H&M designer collaborations

Tomorrow Alexander Wang x H&M, the 10th H&M designer collaboration, is going to hit the H&M online store as well as selected retail stores in an annual event of queueing and website crashes. I already gave my opinion on the topic about a year ago but after a fierce discussion with some friends over lunch today I want to go a little further into details.

Every year in November …

… H&M celebrates the launch of its designer collaboration – this season Alexander Wang H&M. Its 10th anniversary right now, which is celebrated with the release of a nice coffee table book. In a post around a year ago at the time Isabel Marant pour H&M hit stores I already stated my concerns about the way these high street x high end collaborations are blurring the lines and somehow further contribute to luxury loosing its luster!!!

Shoe shopping guide fall 2014

Besides handbags, shoes are without doubt almost every woman’s favorite fashion purchase. This doesn’t come without some good reasons. No matter which shape you are – a shoe shopping never disappoints as they always fit irrespective of your waist and hip measurements. More than bags shoes are a key factor to pull an outfit together. A great shoe can spice up an otherwise boring look in the same way an unflattering shoe ruins a great outfit! And surely it doesn’t hurt that much to purchase a shoe as it does to invest in a great handbag. That said let’s sum up what to keep in mind while shoe shopping this fall season!

Chanel spring 2015 – Spotlight on the knitwear

Yes its already some time ago that the “Boulevard Chanel” show with a feminist riot theme hit the Grand Palais in Paris (for all, who haven’t yet seen the show video its online here!). Thinking about the bags, the shoes, the accessories, jackets and even the makeup and nail polish there was really a lot going on on the runway. I can’t even remember one Chanel show that showed as many different styles as this one did! While Chanel previously used to be heavily focused on bags, jackets, pearl jewelry and to some extend shoes there was something within that show that suggested to me that the brand starts to broaden its spectrum …
