Acne’s New Age Nude

Acne Spring/Summer Ready-to-wear 2010

Acne Tender Print Bodysuit

Browsing through Acne’s web store gives me a headache all the time. I can never just choose one piece I love the most. So here comes today’s double trouble: Acne’s new age inspired tender print body suit (USD$239) and trinity print catsuit (USD$239). With its wild tattoo prints stamped all over the body, the only word that I can think of is rad. Whether worn alone by itself or over a nice jacket, these body conscious pieces create the perfect curves to stop the traffic.

The Individualist(s) by Luise&Franck

Commencing with a distinctively dark soundtrack of “Shake that devil” by the band Antony And The Johnsons, German designer Luise Schwarze and French designer Franck Pouchoulin’s collection for their label The Individualist(s) place a focus on the idea of lost time, as a man looks back to his lost childhood and reminisce the feeling of being free and protected.

A quick look at Proenza Schouler’s Fall/Winter 2010/11 show, the designer duo Lazaro Hernandez and Jack McCollough’s effort for pre-fall 2010 made sense as a prelude to the stunning show, which turned the inferno of sexuality to a sizzling extreme.

Super Surprise + Super Splurge @ Seibu

Cheap Monday's Tamy Skirt

Cheap Monday's Tamy Skirt

Never in my crazy dreams have I ever imagined that Seibu would one day become one of my favourite department stores to splurge. Well… Perhaps its the modest logo and/or the rather masculine company name. I am just not particularly addicted to it as much as some of the others extravagant shops in the market. Nevertheless, I guess what matters the most is what they stock, its quality and most importantly, the price.

Since sales have became a non-existent subject matter at most of my favourite stores at this time of the year, I had been sober… until strolling randomly on the streets, I found out that Seibu was still celebrating a merry time with final sales. As a result of this, I gained immediate strength and became a super vicious being knocking over some a couple of a few dating couples to grab all that pleases my eyes.

Elsa Sylvan – Oh, So Super Sweet!

When it comes to selecting my favourite models, I am very critical upon who I choose; and perhaps because of that, usually by the time I am able to distinctly utter the name of my favourite model for definite and without pauses, she is not on the fashion radar anymore. Today, I am glad to announce Elsa Sylvan as my favourite model of all time. Although the sweet Swede might be a quiet speaker, her presence on the runway is nothing silent. With her strong persona and love for mother nature, she is for sure a gem in the fashion world. If you are still not sure about this 22 year old, be sure to check out her models talks by Fashion TV. You’ll love her!

Burberry Blue Label Fall/Winter 2009/10

Young, free and true blue British is certainly the message Burberry’s Blue label is sending us this fall/winter. The Swedish model Dorothea Barth Jörgensen is styled by Elliot Smedley in this amazing ad campaign – photographed by Lachlan Bailey. I just love the juxtaposition of London’s charming scenery with the equally brilliant wardrobe. The coats and jackets are in particular the items to watch out for this season. Camel and navy are two colours that must be in your wardrobe this season. Equipe yourself for winter now!

I cannot call myself a fan of Calvin Klein at all – somehow the American label just seems to be too hyped, too popular and just not me. However, when I saw the Spring/Summer 2010 collection on Video Fashion, I just fell very deeply for it. I love the quiet but distinct and crisp voice the collection has. It is a real genuine charmer!

Is Dries Van Noten men and Dries Van Noten women one of the most matching couples in fashion history ever? Just like the Belgian designer’s womens collection, which we have just seen yesterday, South East Asia is the source of inspiration for menswear as well – creating an easy and non-chalant collection that is smart yet casual and refined yet never over the top.

Spring/Summer 2010 Runway’s Fantastic Five

Well… After four fantastic fashion weeks in New York, London, Milan and Paris, it’s time to round everything up. One of the things to work on is, of course, to make a list of favorite models, especially the ones who made our heart pulse faster and faster as they walked on the runway. For me, there were five girls, who I just can’t seem to get enough of this spring/summer 2010. Here they are in alphabetical order.

Scandinavian sells: Freja Beha Erichsen and Frida Gustavsson

Scandinavian sells: Freja Beha Erichsen and Frida Gustavsson

The first two girls from the list both hail from Scandinavia and their names both start with a fantastic letter: Freja Beha Erichsen from Denmark and Frida Gustavsson from Sweden. I just love Freja’s versatility and her unique personality. She can wear any masculine or feminine outfits and she will look striking in both! I also love the fact that she doesn’t just wear the clothes. She works the clothes in her own style, when she wears it. It is no wonder that she scored 43 shows this spring/summer. Freja’s highlight this season must be at the Chanel show when she kissed with Dutch model Lara Stone in the hay. Cheeky!
