Good Ol' Denim

Denim has been around for ages ever since Levi Strauss and Jacob Davis created the resiliant mix of cotton for workers and cowboys in 1873. Even today a tardy, worn denim jacket is as admired just as much as a leather jacket and is as good as an old friend. Denim adds edge without the ever looming possibility of a Goth factor and yet an old man wearing his favourite denim jacket from his glory days looks equally warm and probably friendly. A unique denim jacket is a treasure to be kept and given to your teenagers when your title of "cool mom" is waning. It may as well be an antique Bulgari costume necklace only without the worry over insurance.

Gaga's Shoe Diary

We all know that Lady Gaga has worn some of the weirdest outfits known to man (one word springs to mind - meat) but I personally have never actually taken a great interest exactly what her shoes were. Of course I have a general idea and can point some of them out but I want to know what each shoe looks like. My reason? Pure entertainment.

Wearing Her Majesty

I never thought that rich and royal flavours with decadent embroidery could be achieved in a classic modern way. Then I took a look at Balmain and to my utter surprise they did just that. I am delighted to finally be able to take a garment too heavy to wear; not because it is a gown or an overly flamboyant costume but because it is something tasteful like a modernistic cocktail dress, and still call it classy. The sheer opulence of the beading and textures paired with the relatively simple dress patterns and military designs are the perfect balance and create a wow effect never quite achieved to such a monarchical degree as this.

Avatars on the Runway

The Fendi fall winter 2013 collection was intriguing to say the least. With the Avatar-esque hair and make-up, juxtaposed with the neutral hues and materials, I was pleasantly surprised that it actually went well together and I found myself entranced not just by the individual looks but by the show's overall atmosphere. Karl Lagerfeld's design aesthetic was clearly evident in the clothes. Everything in the line seemed to contradict itself and it worked. The natural textures (furs, skins, silks) went brilliantly with the sharp and oddly angled architectural hemlines and stitching. Take a look for yourself; does it clash or seamlessly combine?
