Trend Report: Book Clutches
posted by
Fashion Review


What do you know, carrying books around is actually the new big thing these days. Now that all the books are in ebook format, I guess something has to be there to fill the void. Kate Spade opts for bright covers (with titles such as Lolita and Great Expectations) while Chanel sticks with an elegant leather-bound volume.

Of the two, I would definitely prefer Chanel’s. I have always liked old leather-bound books, they have such an elegant feel to them!

Do you think this trend will take off? I wonder what books people will choose for theirs. I would probably like House of Leaves and Silence of the Lambs, I think.

Trend Report: Couture Fall 2010
posted by
Fashion Review


Nothing spells luxury like Haute Couture.

This Fall, we’re looking at our favorite labels in the Fall 2010 Collections and picking out the trends.

With the exception of Christian Dior, most of the collections in the Haute Couture Fall 2010 spotted earthy neutrals and blacks, going back to the most basics and elegant of hues.

We are also seeing a lot of sheer fabrics being used, with designers playing on the diaphanous qualities of organza and chiffon.

Alongside translucent fabrics like those mentioned above, we’re also seeing the use of opulent laces and embellishments.

My favorite has to be the sheer cage dress from Valentino. It’s positively girly and I’m loving the bows.

Which is your favorite dress this Fall 2010?

Trending Items: Summer Must-Haves

If there is one thing you should know about japanese street trends, it’s that when it hits, you wouldn’t be able to miss it unless you are blind. You can walk down a street and literally spot a dozen girls sporting the same trends. I admit that I am smitten by a few of these trends myself, and will be high lighting some of the most prominent trends this spring/summer season!

The little cotton dress: Light-coloured cotton dresses ranging from mid thigh to maxi length. Maxi dresses are especially popular.

Trend Report: Draped Jacket Lapels
posted by
Featured


The Fall/ Winter 2010 major fashion shows have passed for a while now, so it’s time to collate what we have seen so far.

Aside from the obvious that there is alot of black going on, there’s alot of attention to collar and lapel detailing this season. I love draped jacket lapels and it’s pretty evident that I’m all excited over the F/W 2010 fashion shows. It’s been a good season and I’m looking forward to seeing all these jackets on actual people.


Rad Hourani makes use of multiple lapels and lightweight wools.

Helmut Lang is no stranger to using the draped jacket lapel detailing in their collection, this season they went for something slightly heavier using wool linings.

It’s no secret that Haider Ackermann’s collection for Fall/Winter is my favourite. Their jacket detailing makes my jaw drop everytime I look at it.

Gareth Pugh decides to one-up everyone by making use of one of the materials that is a bitch to sew; leather. I obviously have a love/hate relationship with it.

Love or hate draped jacket lapels? What do you think are the notable Fall/Winter trends for 2010?

Trend Report: Sock it up
posted by
Fashion Review


I don’t know about you, but I love it when fashion completely turns everyone’s expectations over and, in the words of Tim Gunn, “make it work”.

I am sure that every girl have been warned at any given point in their lives to never wear open-toed sandals with stockings. It was an image permeated by unfortunate matrons and clueless office ladies, and there are hardly any greater faux pas than that. On the runways of A/W09 and S/S10 however, we see many designers challenging this view by pairing strappy sandals with thick ankle length socks, in turn giving these summery shoes a distinctive touch of winter.

Galliano added a pop of colour with bright pink socks, while Burberry opted to keep the colours within the same family.

I also love how Versace paired slouchy socks and stompy shoes with a feminine dress in their pre-fall 2010 collection

Miu Miu however, literally knocked the socks off me (you know I can’t resist the puns) with their embellished socks. We are like magpies and love shiny objects as can be seen from our embellished lace tights DIY

I am so going to find a pair of plain socks and sew all manners of shiny nonsense on them.
