Hellooo, Haider Ackermann!

Haider Ackermann Spring/Summer ready-to-wear 2010

Haider Ackermann Cresta Leather Pocket Waistcoat

Have you ever met a piece of clothing that makes you feel that you are born to wear it? Well… I think I have just found my ideal match: Haider Ackermann’s Cresta Waistcoat (€1379) is certainly an addictive piece that I would not want to take off once I put it on. Made in Italy, this fine waistcoat with its eccentric detailing speaks of an incredible style that is elegant and refined – yet it also has a purely punky Edge that is overwhelmingly tough and powerful.

Damir Doma Syndrome

I don’t believe anyone could survive the unbelievable summer heat without a fantastic pair of sandals. Dropping down from heaven are these Damir Doma gladiators. Woven through a half boot, this pair of must-haves speaks of a terrifically tough style, while keeping someone calm and cool. Made in Italy, these leather sandals are truly the ultimate buddy to complement any summer looks. Are you ready? Let’s stir up a summer storm with Damir Doma!

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!

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.

RIP, Alexander McQueen!

Nils Lawton in Alexander McQueen Fall/Winter 2010/11

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]

Super Sonia Strikes H&M

Lara Stone and Anne Vyalitsyna show off Sonia Rykiel lingerie collection pour H&M

Lara Stone and Anne Vyalitsyna show off Sonia Rykiel lingerie collection pour H&M

After seeing Sonia Rykiel’s line for H&M in person, I am feeling a little bit confused right now. Perhaps it is because as I stepped out the door at home, extremely excited to see the fresh new arrivals, my loving mum reminded me once again that a pair of panties of that quality could be made at $USD 1.00. Arrrrgh… Thanks, Mum!

Well… If I neglect mum’s advice, I think the prices of Sonia Rykiel’s line for H&M are reasonable, because afterall it is evidently cheaper than the real line. Nonetheless, it’s still not to my wallet’s taste, especially the headband and the oversized brooch with the playful Rykiel big bow at respectfully $USD 34.95 and $USD 24.95. As expected, the store was flooded with people today. They all snapped a monstrous chunk of sexy bras and panties intimately in their arm. The favourite amongst the crowd was understandably the design with the colourful Rykiel signature stripes. With the armful of goodies, the girls found themselves stuck in a hideous queue outside the changeroom. Only a few dared to spend and went home with a tiny little Sonia Rykiel pour H&M bag. Well… It seems like no one was willing to go completely nuts for it.

Collection Cage Dorée de Chanel Christmas 2009

Brazilian Model Isabeli Fontana for Collection Cage Dorée de Chanel Christmas 2009

Brazilian Model Isabeli Fontana for Collection Cage Dorée de Chanel Christmas 2009

Chanel’s Christmas Collection is in stores now and I just love it! The collection entitled “Cage Dorée de Chanel” is inspired by a Golden Cage, which is found amongst Mademoiselle Coco Chanel’s personal treasuries in her apartment in Rue Cambon. Created by the brilliant Belgian make-up artist Peter Philips, this exquisite miniature set – made with rich turquoise and emerald stones – is absolutely bewitching! The exotic colours, in particular, are simply divine! Brazilian beauty Isabeli Fontana perfectly exudes the utterly magnetic power of this sophisticated and seductive collection. Enjoy Christmas in style – with Chanel’s fresh and ingenious Christmas creation!

Get Sexy in Sonia Rykiel!

Sonia Rykiel pour H&M Christmas 2009

Sonia Rykiel pour H&M Christmas 2009

Mark the Date! Sonia Rykiel for H&M’s lingerie collection is coming to stores worldwide on 5th December 2009. Ready or not, you know, it’s going to strike in style! So far from the pictures released, the collection seems to be playful and chic in the French label’s notorious ways! Although to me the girls in the campaign – Lara Stone, Anne Vyalitsyna and Caroline Trentini – looked out of place and not in sync with each other, I just love the way each girl looks so comfortable and at ease in it. That’s the way underwear should be, no? Body conscious, smart and sexy; Sonia Rykiel has it!
