Damir Doma Syndrome

Damir Doma Spring/Summer Ready-to-wear 2010 Collection

Damir Doma Femerus Sandal

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!

Lala Berlin, you make me wanna lala!

German model Josefine Bülow wears Lala Berlin’s Silk Pola Tank Top

There is just something inexplicable I like so much about this crazy-looking Pola Tank (€243) with mad graphics of these industrial tools from the illustrious designer Leyla Piedayesh for her brilliant fashion label Lala Berlin. When I stare really hard at it, the print on the silk top comes alive, as wheels start to turn and the nails start to fall. Alright! I admit, I may be thinking far too much, but that’s only because I want it so badly and that I need to draw attention to it regardless of all consequences. {Wink! Wink!} Let’s work it!

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!

RIP, Alexander McQueen!

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]

Enchanted by Escada Sport

German model Luca Gadjus is the mesmerising mermaidic beauty in Escada Sport Ad Campaign Spring/Summer 2010

Escada Sport’s compelling spring/summer campaign 2010 puts the charming collection, inspired by the wondrous waters, in an utterly irresistible position. Photographed by the magnificent Max von Gumppenberg, German model Luca Gadjus is the mesmerising siren from the depth of the sea singing her entrancing melodies through her hypnotic eyes to lure us into a shopping spree at the luxury fashion house. Well… Is there a reason not to? The collection, which focuses on fantastic colours and prints and an incredibly soft silhouette, is simply divine for cruise 2010 with its lavish yet remarkably relaxed look. Truly enchanting!

Alexis Mabille Spring/Summer Haute Couture 2010 Paris

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.

Jil Sander Spring/Summer Ready-to-wear 2010 Milan

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.

Dries Van Noten Fall/Winter Ready-to-wear 2010/11 Paris

The first thing that caught my critical eye for coolness from Dries van Noten’s Fall/Winter 2010/11 runway show for men was… Adrian Bosch the charming camel trench coat with the fudge boning as worn by Danish model Adrian Bosch (see picture above). I love the boning, as it creates a youthful vibe, as if those clean lines were drawn on playfully, while giving it a sleek structure, which I adore so much.

Versace Spring/Summer Ready-to-wear 2010 Milano Menswear

I just love Versace’s show, because it’s not for every man. It’s for hot man only! For Spring/Summer 2010, Donatella Versace presented a light collection that is sleek, sophisticated and so so so super sexy. The colours used range from crisp white, camel, peachy nudes, grey then finally, black. This gradual transition of colours perfectly mirrors a man’s wardrobe from day to night during the spring summer season – light colours for day and black for the evening time. The essence of the collection for me is in the precision in tailoring and a conspicuous confidence – drowned in the luxurious Italian fashion label’s distinctive lavish style from head to toe. Shown by a parade of muscular models - complete with delicious 6-packs - catwalking along to the cool beats of The Rakes22 Grand Job and The MaccabesX-ray vision, the runway presentation was an infectious affair that gets me catwalking out of the venue wishing that I have Lenz in my arms.
