[ couture-like treat ]

Backstage at the MARY KATRANTZOU Fall 2012 show: Love those super floaty, printed & architectural dresses.... and the make up was an artful application of black eyeliner in strong geometric shapes, very cool!


graphic & cool as well!

[ relax it, mix it up ]

You could tell that there was a change at TOPHOP UNIQUE... the collection looked some much different than last season's "Cleopatra" looks!
Kate Phelan brought 18 years of experience at British Vogue to Topshop's in-house design team when she joined the retail behemoth as creative director last June. "Relax it, mix it up" were Phelan's straightforward goals.
Love the way that structure and slouch were combined to create something edgy but accessible, cool but not too girly. Well done!

[ moving on ]

Cool ankle boots & pumps at the ERDEM Fall 2012 show. 
The perspex heels reminded me a little bit of the Dries Van Noten booties I like so much (see post) but then again... perspex is now everyhwhere.
Still, I like the combination of these "arty painted" shoes with a very modern, architectural heel! 

[ owls, ducks & doggies ]

Christopher Bailey named his latest BURBERRY show "Town and Field".

"Field" was represented by country animals like sparrows, owls, and doggies naïvely embroidered on shirts, printed or appliquéd on oversize striped tees and were gorgeous details on the handbags & clutches. Very cute!
