fashion week

Haider Ackermann has been on the lips of many people since the rumors hit of the Dior split with Galliano. Will he, or won’t he is the question? Now that we’ve gotten our answers, I like many of you am ever so eager to see the first collection.

Here are some of my best looks from the Haider Ackermann Fall 2010 and Fall 2011 collections. Both of which shows a consistently in his theme of deconstructed yet tailored work. A look that can only be pulled off by a confident woman, one who knows her personal style is one part subtle and one part sharp.

The femininity of flowy fabrics and the masculinity of the structured blazers plays on this; you have to be a woman who knows that their is a sweet yet powerful side to her sensuality.  The Haider Ackermann woman is a BOSS.

Not many males models can grab the attention of the fashion world the way that  BOSNIA & HERZEGOVINA born Andrej has done in the past week at Fashion weeks in London and Paris.

Leave it to Hilary to dive into the matters many people are so blasé about ( previous topics included diversity on the catwalks, weight concerns etc)- like this “gorgeous gender-bender with great bone structure”.

He says he’d get a sex change for Victoria’s Secret.

I got Chanel, Keiko’s Chanel.

A product of the Chanel + Colette Mashup – that featured artist Fafi.

This woman was in a crowd of fashionable people on the streets of Paris and her Fafi customized Chanel handbag did its duty; it stood out.

Hi guys!

I’m still in a mental coma from all the fashion and fabulousness of Paris Fashion Week 2011 / 2012 Collections. I went to many shows and took so many photos its seems almost ridiculous to write a short summary now.

Until I get over being “si fatiguée” I will write a lovely trend round-up (I did for work anyways) and perhaps even create a new site for all the lovely streetstyle photos that just seem to take on a life of their own.

Everyday, I was falling more and more in love with my camera. I’m not a professional photographer, but as a writer I see no harm in multitasking, especially when you get to meet and interview some of the most stylish people in the world!

Until then here are two of my outfits, shot by two very darling photogrpahers Phil Oh from Streetpeeper for Metro paper and Guerre from Swagger360 for Vogue Italia.

This is the outfit that Anna Dello Russo liked. I’m wearing mostly vintage (shades, top & kilt skirt) , and the Zara Coat and Boots I wore here. I had so much this day because I’ve been dying to wear my kilt and this top again. I just love how bright the green is and it has some tiny gold buttons on the details that were so cute.
