Freja Beha Erichsen, Raquel Zimmermann and Magdalena Frackowiak in Chloé Spring/Summer 2010 Collection
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.

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!

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.

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.

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!

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!

Danish model Mathias Lauridsen looking ever so charming in Gucci's gorgeous menswear collection.
Since I am a person of few words in real person and I know that I panic a lot when good things, bad things, anything happen to me, I have decided - rather than having a normal impromptu going-with-the-flow interview like most professional journalists, it is crucial for me to have a staged interview with Mathias (if I ever get the chance to meet him in person this life time), where I get the opportunity to interrogate him critically on all the questions in my life (except one). Here is a preview of how it’ll play out…
Y: Mathias! [Shrilling nervously in a high pitched voice] We are speechless… really! We had been dreaming about you ever since we saw that mesmerising picture of you for the Gucci pour homme II ad campaign, when we were young. Tell us please. How does it feel to be the man in so many girls’ dreams? Does it make you feel sick, paranoid or uneasy in any way at all?
M: …

Nils Lawton in Alexander McQueen Fall/Winter 2010/11
Reading Russian writer Alexander Pushkin’s historical novel The Captain’s Daughter, we found a folk song, which painfully introduces us to the reality of life discussed in today’s post. It goes:
“If you find one better than me, you will forget me;
if you find one worse than me, you will remember me.” [link]

Marlena Szoka, Maria Kashleva and Suzie Bird in Alexis Mabille Haute Couture 2010
Alexis Mabille’s Spring/Summer Haute Couture show 2010 is certainly something that I did not expect to see at first glance. No frills. No pretty bows. No lace. The show opened with Belarusian model Olga Sherer dressed in the French designer’s bi-colour pant suit look. As oppose to what the Lyon-born designer had been doing famously, this is certainly something new and fresh.

Danish model Adrian Bosch shows off Jil Sander Spring/Summer 2010 Collection in Milan
A walk into Jil Sander’s sleek minimalist store, we discovered an irresistible menswear collection that made us drool so bad that completely ruining the store’s all around pleasant ambience eventually became the ultimate most undeserved fate for the lovely luxury store.
