The Best Collection of the Season: Jil Sander Spring 2011 Ready-to-Wear

September 28, 2010

Raved as this season’s best collection Jil Sander pulls off a wonderfully colourful and couture-like collection that will put a smile on pretty much anyone’s face. I think the critics might be onto something. I feel this is one my favourite collections for Spring 2011. I’m not sure if my personal opinion and view stem [...]

September 18, 2010

New York Fashion Week is in full motion and taking place as we speak. I was particularly interested in two designers who showcased their designs in New York this week: IVANAHelsinki and Tiia Vanhatapio. I’ve been an avid follower of their designs and the collections that they create. Here are two famous and well-respected Fashion [...]

New York Fashion Week Spring 2011: The Victoria Beckham Show

September 16, 2010

Let me start by saying that when I first heard that Victoria Beckham got into fashion design, I wasn’t convinced at all. Quite the opposite. I was even playing with ideas that perhaps Victoria Beckham has no hand in the creation of her collections. So after a period of time when she started coming up [...]

Are You Ready For More? Damir Doma Fall/Winter 2010 Collection Closeup: Part II

August 31, 2010

Let me start by asking, are you a woman who feels most drawn to gray, black and khaki? What about fitted, loose pants, over-sized cardigans and slightly masculine coats that create a relaxed, yet very calculated ensemble, that sends out a message? If the answer to the above questions is yes, then Damir Doma’s F/W [...]

August 29, 2010

I’ve found yet another unique and fun designer who’s collections I’ve been keeping an eye on: Ida Sjöstedt. The latest is her S/S 2011 collection which showcased recently at Stockholm Fashion Week. Ida Sjöstedt launched her brand, labelled Ida Sjöstedt, back in 2001 in Sweden, and ever since she has been showing her collections in [...]

MONGRELS IN COMMON Spring/Summer 2011

August 24, 2010

I know it feels somehow strange to be thinking about next year’s trends, but you might just be surprised by the things that you see on the catwalk (good and bad). So I think you should definitely give it a chance, at least to be able to come to some sort of opinion about the [...]

Custo Barcelona SS 2011 Collection – Sneak-a-Peak

August 20, 2010

Custo Barcelona is the kind of brand that you either love or hate. Their use and mix of colours and patterns is not to everyones taste. I get that. I used to belong to the latter group myself. Their collections just weren’t speaking to me at all. Until one day, not too long ago, I [...]
