H&M Spring/Summer 2009 Printed ad campaign

I believe there is a balance of good and bad in life. That means there is always something positive and something negative happening.

This just comes to show that the Swedish retail giant is still our ultimate favourite in the global market that is facing desperate depression and well… you have to admit: they are simply one of the best in the market now.

Roland Mouret Fall/Winter Ready-to-wear 2009/10 Collection Paris

With the adoption of a rather dark palette from makeup to the actual clothes, the world of Roland Mouret for fall is painted in tones of sinister darkness to fittingly illustrate the collection as a solemn affair standing firmly against the world of dismal.

When I first heard of the label “Isabel Marant”, it was out of delight from a Slovenien friend, who has just purchased an exquisite skirt at an enchanting discounted price online. While I was thinking on the lines of “WTF is this?”, I hid my primitive and obnoxious doubts next to the bread crumbs and dirt on the keyboard and replied in the tones of absolute jealousy. It worked. Really!

What a dark solemn-yet-romantic display at Miu Miu this season? It looked like every girl who stepped out onto the showroom floor had an unspeakable sorrow hidden beneath her bleak lifeless eyes, which betrayed her identity as an absolutely impeccably refined woman.

Louis Vuitton Fall/Winter Ready-to-wear 2009/10 Paris
