Sweden - Landscapes

 I was planning to make a blogpost about my holiday in Sweden. Unfortunately I couldn't find time to make and publish it. Now, two weeks later, I can. Finally! But better late than never:

Sweden is an amazing country to go to. The people are friendly, not to mention they're very stylish, the food is delicious and the nature is breathtaking. I took my camera and tried to capture the enchanting and almost surreal landscapes.

Dior by Raf Simons

Christian Dior couture Dior Fall 2012 Raf Simons

Dior by Raf Simons

 Just one word: perfection.

Raf Simons showed with his first collection an hommage to the style of Christian Dior, the New Look, without losing his own minimalistic style. The show opened with black pantsuits, followed by cut ball gowns worn over simple narrow black pants. Furthermore there were ball gowns, strapless gowns, coat worn as dresses and dresses with different colors on the front and back. I really like the modern take on the fifties. Raf Simons did exactly what LVMH-CEO Bernard Arnault predicted: to bring the style of Christian Dior to the 21st century.

 "I'm not interested in just doing couture that works in magazine pictures. I want it to be relevant" - Raf Simons

Fall 2012 Trend Report: Goth

 You can come over to the dark side this season, as black is seen everywhere on the catwalk. I can hear you think: 'but black is always on trend' and that's right, but for this fall you can think of a more gothic inspired look. And the variations are endless!
 At Givenchy, for instance, we saw a really nice contrast between masculine and feminine. Leather, blood red and lingerie tops came back frequently.
At Yves Saint Laurent we saw a strict silhouette including a wasp waist and bold schoulders. That made this collection very powerful, strong and brave, but still classic at the same time. The show also got a dark feeling because of the multiple use of leather (of course), chains and the motif of the calla lily, which was also used in the jewelry. The calla lily is a Roman symbol for lust, but were also laid on the graves of those who suffered an untimely demise.
The collection of Yohji Yamamoto was all about contrasts and playing with volume. Also assymetric and draped dresses passed in review.
Gucci brought it in a whole diffrent way. Frida Giannini said she found inspiration in the 19th century. The collection got a very romantic and bohemian feel about it, complete with long and graceful dresses.
You see: there are many ways to make this trend your own and you know, fashion is all about personality!

MMM for H&M

MMM for H&M

 When I first heard of the collaboration between H&M and Maison Martin Margiela I thought it was a joke. Margiela, really? But when my timeline on Twitter was full of 'Breaking news: MMM for H&M!' messages I knew it was real.

Oh my God, this can only be good!

The label left a great mark in the fashion industry. Do you remember the round leather jacket, the tape cape, the paper t-shirts and the squared coat? Real Margiela classics if you ask me.

A daring, but also really excited choice of H&M to pick MMM. But how will the pieces turn out? How will the avant garde and deconstructivism, where Maison Martin Margiela is known for, be carried out?

Now unaswered questions, but on 15 november the collection will be in stores. Save the date!

 'Coco rock, not rococo' said Karl Lagerfeld.

And that was exactly where the show was all about.
The color palette is a rainbow of pastel colors: candy pink, sky blue and mint green. Twenty-first century fabrics like denim and chambray, but also tweed and lace, were used. All that in the mix with eighteenth-century details like ruffles, panniers and corsets. The models strut through the gravel on their platform sneakers. Think Marie Antoinette meets grunge. How cool is that?!
