Chloé Fall/Winter Ready-to-wear 2010/11 Paris

Chloé Spring Summer Ready to wear 2010 Collection Paris

Perhaps it’s the golden rays she sends out each season at Chloé, I’m actually warming up to Hannah MacGibbon – Creative Director of the French Luxury Fashion House. Well… It’s not the most avant-garde show I have ever seen, but nonetheless, it’s delightful and it’s desirable! With this winning combination, I am confident that Chloé’s financial matters will be enjoying quite a pleasant ride in the forthcoming fall.

Prada Spring/Summer Ready-to-wear 2010/11 Milan

Prada Spring Summr Ready to wear 2010 Milano

Mark Cox in Prada Spring/Summer 2010

To be perfectly honest with you all, this season, I am more in love with Prada’s menswear line than with its womenswear collection. A walk through the brightly-lit store space complete with racks and racks of spring/summer goodies, this feeling just intensifies even more so. If I could, I would have certainly done a grabsweep-and-run, regardless of whether the pieces actually flatter me or not. Well… Yes, sir, yes! I’m crazy! I’m crazy in love!

Lanvin’s Carnation Revolution

Lanvin's Fabric Carnation Brooch

Lanvin's Carnation Comes Into Bloom

A ball of fabric standing on a pin may not sound exactly like something exciting. However, given the creative treatment by Lanvin’s magnificent menswear designer Lucas Ossendrijver, magic just happens! Available in four different delightful colours – white, navy, grey and plum, Lanvin’s Fabric carnation brooch (£99.00) is simply an amazing accessory to bring an extraordinary sense of softness to a man’s tough look. Beautiful and brilliant at the same time.

Available at Harvey Nichols.

Céline Fall/Winter Ready-to-wear 2010/11 Paris

Céline Spring/Summer Ready-to-wear 2010 Paris

Caroline Brasch Nielsen, Carla Gebhart and Jaquelyn Jablonski in Céline

One sleepy “morning”, my friend woke me up from my most wanted and most needed beauty sleep to tell me to urgently check out Garance Dore’s video of Céline’s show. At first, I was doubtful. I mean was it really that powerful, that worthy to disrupt the most valued activity of my day? Moreover, does it truly live up to all the hypes and expectations? Well… Well… Well… To my surprise, Ms. Philo’s show for Céline was indeed everything of the above description and even more.

Spring to life

Bruuns Bazaar's spring and summer dresses.

Spring to life in Bruuns Bazaar's dresses.

As spring commences to go into full swing, it’s certainly time for us to pack away our big woolly winter knits and load our wardrobes with some fresh new springtastic clothes. Bruuns Bazaar, the Danish label established by brothers Teis and Bjørn Bruun, opened its first store in Asia last month. We took the courtesy to check out its nature-inspired minimalist store in Hong Kong and found some of the most beautiful dresses that reflects a warm spirit, full of the joys of spring – pretty and perfect for the season. Here are our top spring picks:

Available at Bruuns Bazaar.

VPL – Visibly Pretty Lingerie.

VPL lingerie

VPL's sexy and sporty underwear

With sportswear-inspired body conscious clothing in the spotlight this season, there’s no better time to show off your visible panty line. Perfect for this job is the underwear collection from New York based label VPL. Established by stylist Victoria Bartlett, VPL begs for differ in terms of their philosophy and concept of design by making underwear something no longer suitable to be hidden underneath, but rather, as the acronym of the label suggests, visible. When you see the designs, the reasons would become naturally evident. Obviously, it is stylish and sexy, but what’s more is that it brings out an idiosyncratically sunny and healthy altitude – that is evermore fresh and fascinating. So what are you waiting for? Show off your VPL proud and loud!

Shown in the picture above are VPL’s insertion bra (USD$95.00), Stripe B Bra in Coral (also available in Navy – USD $85.00) and Stripe B Undi in Navy (USD $75.00). Available at Barneys and La Garçonne.

In The Tribe… In Lanvin’s Terrific Tribe!

Lanvin Spring/Summer Ready-to-wear 2010 Paris

Lanvin's extravagant Stanislas Earring

Add a sense of fun and style to your final look with Lanvin’s adorable Stanislas earrings. Shaped by delicate twigs of shiny brass to form the silhouette of a playful little poster child for endearing cuteness, then, adorned with exquisite crystals and red coral beading; this pair of earrings glows with subtlety, class and extravagant refinement. Yet, its tribal influence creates a remarkably raw touch that makes the entire thing seem primitive in the way that it connects no-time-to-waste city life into the full embrace of Mother Nature. At ~€543.00, this lovely doll-shaped pair, for me, is definitely a timeless piece worth purchasing.

Pucci’s Nude Body

Emilio Pucci's asymmetric cutout lace-up nude swimsuit

Emilio Pucci's New Nude

Peter Dundas of Emilio Pucci crafted a new sexy curve in the stimulating shade of nude for Spring/Summer 2010. Watch out! Ready or not – here comes his stunning and striking asymmetric cut-out and lace-up swimsuit (USD $645)! Surely, there’s nothing more provocative than this skin-flashing skin-coloured piece. Namely, playing with the perplexing visual effect using those crafty means of his, it is revealing in that distinctively dangerous and delightfully daring way – bringing us excitement of a new height!

Selected is Selected!

Eddie Klint and Jacquelyn Jablonski stares in Selected Spring/Summer 2010 Ad campaign.

Eddie Klint teams up with All American beauty Jacquelyn Jablonski in Selected’s ad campaign this Spring/Summer 2010. Heading the ad campaign for the Copenhagen-based fashion label a second time, Mr. Klint looks confident and cool – like the man we all die to hang out with. The collection shows off an amazing array of easy peasy pieces in neutral shades that look smart and stylish. What I felt is the key to this collection is this sense of serenity, harmony and romance – these elements come together complementarily in a way that felt natural yet luxurious. Inevitably, sweet love is in the air!

In Bed and In Love With Matvey Lykov

Dior Homme Spring/Summer 2010 Paris

Russian model Matvey Lykov closes the Dior Homme show.

Growing older and older each day, I no longer strive to put all the models with first names starting with the letter M in my list of favourite models. Yet, out of the blue, somehow it just happened: introducing a new favourite of mine this February is the fabulous Russian model Matvey Lykov. Ever since the day I watched the in bed with Matvey Lykov video - tweeted to me by a little bird from modelhommes, I just could not forget his mighty loveliness. Obviously, by and large, he is very good looking, but what charmed us sharply right through and swept us off both our feet is the fact that he speaks three and a half languages – Russian, English, Spanish and a little bit of Italian. Obviously, we share something common there. Let’s exchange numbers, Matvey and please teach me Spanish!
