Adolfo Dominguez SS 2011

Ever since I heard Spanish designer Adolfo Domínguez’ legendary slogan “Wrinkles are beautiful”, I just had to find out more about Dom ínguez and his collections.

Interestingly enough, the slogan has allowed Adolfo Domínguez to continue his long-lived success in the fashion business.

Sophisticated Style

We all have slightly different kinds of styles. I’ve always been fascinated by looking at people and the styles they sport so effortlessly. 0

Why Do We Take Fashion So Seriously?

December 24, 2010

This is something that I’ve been thinking about for a good while now. Why do people, in the midst of every other aspect of their lives, take fashion so seriously and put so much emphasis on it? 0

The Transformation of The Bean Boot Over a Century

When you look at Fiona Paxton’s jewellery, you can’t help but see the inspiration she has clearly drawn from traditional Indian patterns and embroidery. Her jewellery is trendy while keeping to a particular look that’s curiously reminiscent of a past era. 0

Orange and Gray Give Style to Your Day!

December 10, 2010

One of my favourite colour combinations is orange and gray. There’s just this peaceful harmony that exists between the two colours. It’s no coincidence that some colours just look so good together while others clash. Colour combinations and finding matching colours, tones and shades is a science of its own.
