So let’s continue with our shopping guide for fall 2014 and the makeover of the next wardrobe department – Its skirts. So now skirts for fall and when I had a look at the street style during fashion week there was one clear message – midi skirts for fall please!

Guess that even those persons with only the slightest fashion interest have recognized that 60ies are back this fall. In a previous post I already showed you the softly draped side of the era by means of Ossie Clark style flouncy dresses. But sure there is also another more structured and tailored side – its the original mod shift dress.

For a long time the house of Valentino had been famous for ultra feminine and playful pieces with heavy decoration consisting of flowers and ruffles. After Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli had been appointed as creative directors a slow and steady change started at the house. Now some of the foremost Valentino signatures are minimalism, grace and dignity. Runway shoes are almost always flat, dresses are usually simple with a high neckline and long sleeves. Thus the most recent Valentino Couture presentation with its Greco Roman, medieval and even little 60ies spirit was no exception! That said, what were the inspirations for all those fashionistas, who do not belong to the Couture customer circle can draw?

In this section I am going to share my thoughts on iconic fashion pieces with you. You know every season there are the trends and some items that are seen more than often in street style, fashion journals etc.. These pieces generate a hype and and..? Fade soon … or become a signature of the label…?
I still remember seeing the first Valentino Rockstud heels embellished with the little four sided pyramids back in early fall 2010. I went into the store tried them on, loved them, ask the shop assistant to put them aside until next day, but returned less than one hour later to buy them. Until today I adore with med style pants, skinny jeans, shorts and skirts. They almost always find their way into my suitcase when traveling and accompany my for day plus night.
