Sky high summer heels!

High heels have always had a sensual appeal, and a synonymous to femininity. This season, different to the “normal” heels, we find some really architectonic highnesses. Plateau, stilettos, chunky heels and wedge heels appear to be created simply to challenge our sense of vertigo!

Subtle and curved towards the sole is the icon heel of Roger Vivier, global evergreen when it comes to stilettos. Miu Miu on the other hand goes for bamboo this spring/summer collection 2009, where pumps with maxi platform and heel made in cork are found. This last material can be find as well in the Christian Dior heels combined with shinny colours.

Definitely more rock and rule-breaking the style signed Gucci and the no famous Iman sandals, half stiletto half gladiator sandal. Super plateau for Giuseppe Zanotti and for Prada and its platform sandals in raffia.

Gucci made it safari wild for their s/s Ad Campaign, with khaki shades mixed with ocean blue, purple and red. Models striking particular poses in a place looking like the jungle, with big leafs, grass and warm sun rays infiltrating through the tree limbs.

The Gucci s/s collection  is fresh and polished. The contrast between the delicate sheer kaftans and tunics and the more strict safari jackets and blazers creates together a great atmosphere.

 

iman sandal

Among these wonderful creations I must mention the fabulous Iman triple strap sandals with their tremendously high heel and plateau, seen on various celebrities such as Rihanna, Gisele Bündchen and Drew Barrymore. A true success this spring/summer, and an absolute must have!

jackie

One of the Italian brand’s so called icons is the Jackie bag. Designed and created originally in the fifties this bag soon became Jacqueline Onassis’ favourite accessory, there for the name Jackie.

The original and modern bag in its first version, has maintained its peculiar shape, with rounded angles, half moon shape and the cylindrical handles. Now simply richer, with even more astonishing details, such as the tassels with bamboo details, the seams, now in various dimensions and in a new and softer structure. We find the Gucci Jackie bag in a gorgeous red colour, brown leather Guccissima and as well in GG Crystal fabric.

gucci ad bags

In the menswear department we find a truly elegant and sophisticated handbag in GG fabric (see picture), which can both be carried in the hand and as a shoulder bag. With white and light brown leather stripes in the middle the bag is particular and original, perfect for a man who knows the significance of stylishness.

In Etro, Gucci, Miu Miu, Moschino Cheap & Chic, Roberto Cavalli, emilio pucci, styles and trends on May 25, 2009 at 12:22 pm

A trend to adopt is the bohemian style which of course can be modified after taste…It can easily be made chic and casual or more relaxed with a hippie touch. How ever this season floral prints are very trendy and since they are so gorgeous lets see how to use them!

Bohemian maxi

Maxi dresses are a great way to achieve that chic bohemian look. The Roberto Cavalli s/s collection  has a lot of them. Like the vividly multicoloured Roberto Cavalli maxi dress seen on the photo. It gives you the bohemian touch but is still fresh and delicate! For more Cavalli maxi dresses click here.

The Moschino Cheap & Chic collection makes it bohemian with a vintage/hippie touch, se the Ad campaign above. Floral printed dresses  in pastel shades made in silk and cotton  gives you a soft and feminine look. The squared blazer with green buttons with a pair of stripped jeans, bow clutch and plateau gives you the right vintage look. Very cute feminine Moschino Cheap & chic dresses are as well a great ingredient to achieve the right flower power spirit this spring/summer!

 

 

 

 

pucci

Big sunglasses and colourful tunics and shirts are must haves to catch the relaxed and free look, see the Emilio Pucci s/s collection for insipiration. Emilio Pucci who’s known for his colour is a great inspiration source!

For kaftans and tunics in sheer fabric go for Etro s/s collection 2009, where you can find thousands of floral printed clothing items in warm gold and red colours as well as beach colours such as white and blue! For the brave ones try the wide printed hippie trousers from the Etro s/s collection 2009! They are so funny and totally hippie!!!

To make your look complete remember to combine the right shoes! The shoes are more important than you might think but the shoes always gives that necessary final touch which later proves if you made it or not, if your look is a success or not!

Gladiator sandals are of course a great choice… The silver Gucci gladiator sandals gives you a more modern and chic look. Instead the Miu Miu gladiator sandals are very natural and are a great choice!

Experiment with sandals, plateau and big glasses to find your personalized bohemian style! The only thing you need to start is a bit of creative fantasy! Have fun!

 

Let it be pink!

Colour is one of the main trends this spring/summer 2009. Combined strong colours, fluorescent colours as well as monochromes is what works this season! Solid colours as well as patterns. But a really magical colour is pink! High lighted pink in its strongest shade!

Nothing is fresher than the total white summer trend!

In Christian Dior, Versace, shoes, styles and trends on May 21, 2009 at 9:51 am

As seen on the red carpets as well in the magazines, white is without any doubts the colour of the season! Everything becomes fresh, delicate and summerish when it’s white. In addition it’s chic, romantic and modern at the same time. The total white look is the look of the moment not to miss!

total white

Go for total white dresses with same coloured accessories, where some minimal detail might be silver coloured to create a more modern look. The white strapless Versace dress  (left) is a great example, where the multizips gives the look a modern touch! See Versace s/s collection for other white clothing items!

Or else for a more street chic look, combine a white soft silk blouse and a white jacquard jacket with a pair of white trousers (even strapped for a more vintage look) and a matching heel perhaps with a tree sole to avoid the look gets too forced. Like the white Dior heels from the Dior s/s collection!

See Kate Moss’ summerish white look!

Prada Ad Campaign s/s 2009

In Prada, shoes, styles and trends on May 18, 2009 at 2:50 pm

 

The Prada Ad Campaign this year is original and funny, models looking like they are made of porcelain but still so vivid in their expressions. Made in different themes, I particularly like this photo where the theme no doubt must be python.

Prada27s20Spring-Summer20200920Wome

The photograph contains a sleeveless python printed cotton dress (seen as well on the red carpet), python printed skirts and a python printed jacket with white borders. An incredible mix, we’ll find the print as well on the different sized bags! The colours goes from black to white trough beige and light brown tones. The style is sharp and elegant into the smallest detail, not failing once!

As the python print this warm and sunny season has become a trend it’s a wise move investing . For an easy and causal look choose a python printed bag or a python printed heel, but if you’re brave go for the knee-long python printed dress in grey or reddish tones. It’s a secure move and a guaranteed hit!

Purple was the colour of last winter but is still top fashion, in fact on the international catwalks purple was one of the leading colours! This Spring and Summer our top designer’s have decided to combine many different shades and tones of purple like; lilac, lavender, violet and plum.

Of course purple is suitable even together with other colours, in fact another trend of the year is exactly the mixing of strong colours. A third way to combine purple is with gold or silver accessories. Which creates a really mysterious and seductive look perfect for a glamorous summer night party!

For example Alberta Ferretti’s S/S collection has a couple of amazing purple creations. Long dresses as well as shirts with soft flounces. For example this plum coloured drape chiffon dress seen in the middle on the photo above. Or purple Alberta Ferretti trousers also seen on the photo above…

Ermanno Scervino chooses a brighter tone of purple, like this lilac criss-cross jersey dress

Cesare Paciotti goes for the eye-catching purple, as clutch as well as stilettos, amazing accessories this S/S or should I rather say an absolute must have this season! For a slightly more delicate taste the Paciotti jacket is an alternative!

How ever it doesn’t really matter where or how you wear it as long as purple actually has tinted your body!

Shopping Guide: S/S Shoes 2009

In Giuseppe Zanotti, Gucci, Miu Miu, Moschino, Paciotti, shoes, styles and trends on April 14, 2009 at 2:29 pm

2009’s shoe fashion screams out loud: “Extreme!” but  don’t be terrified you can always modify fashion so it suites you better, but still be perfectly trendy. This year in fact shoes are dreadfully  high but on the other side more stunning than ever! We are talking about platform sandals, gladiator sandals, tapered heels, cut-away sandals, thick chunky heels and of course sky high heels. But more important though are the details, without details this S/S you will not pass the test!

You will find the most important trends and shopping advices below…

 

 cutaway

The cut-away trend is evident this spring/summer 2009 and of course we’ll find it in the shoe fashion. The two upper shoes on the photo are from the Giuseppe Zanotti collection, and they clearly demonstrate the existence.

This amazing cut-away technique is stunning, elegant and in the same way provocative. And most important it works absolutely well on high heels. It gives you the right modern and fresh look! Perfect as well at night to a mini dress as well to jeans or a casual style… The solid black Paciotti shoes are furthermore  phenomenal!

 

 

stilletos

The Stiletto is a classical, and of course this year it’s top fashion. But this year two things have changed, fist of all is the richness of particularities, from buckles to different patterns. Second are the fusion of stilettos and platform heels. Which evidently creates an even higher heel.

These pink Paciotti or these sky high Zanotti stilettos have all different exiting particularities!

 

 

 

gladiator

The gladiator sandals are a truly Must-Have this spring and summer! Perfect for city days or casual night events… Miu Miu has made some truly cute gladiator sandals (see photo).

 

 

 

platform1

The Platform sandals are an other Must have this Spring/Summer 2009. They are seen every where and all over the world. The platform sandal trend is funny and awesome and definitely a trend to catch up with to get the right chic s/s look! 

For a classic look these Gucci sandals are perfect, while a more extreme version is these attention-grabbing pink Moschino pair or the outstanding purple Paciotti heels.

This spring/summer 2009 themes have been popular on the catwalks…

The D&G Dolce & Gabbana collection clearly demonstrate a marine theme this year. With stripped shirts in red & blue and white & blue like real sailors and bathing suites in the same way. Waist high trousers with bottoms on both sides, funny bathing hats.

And to emphasis even more their inspiration source on some clothes we’ll find anchors, boats and marine icons! Frequently seen as well are the big roses and silk scarfs combined with blouses and shirts. Predominantly even in this collection is the sheer fabric, which lightly waves in air.

Sometimes the models strongly reminds of the black and white movies and their elegant young ladies! The D&G collection is fully emerged in this marine and sailor theme, it entirely gives you the real sensation of sailor spirit in a very feminine way though. In fact that’s the reason why it’s  so brilliant!

senza-titolo-1

How to get the perfect romantic look this spring/summer 2009! First of all the most important thing in getting the soft, romantic and of course feminine look is to focus on the colours. In fact warm and creamy colours are the ones to choose. Try to avoid strong contrasts, the trick is to combine the same colour in different shapes.

For instant pink in different tones mixed with purple, (which is the most trendy colour this season) and blue. If you desire a more chic or stronger look mix up the creamy colours with one strong colour, but of course a colour you’ve already used. Like a luminous shoe or bag. These trendy purple Paciotti  high healed sandals for instant. An other important thing not to underestimate are the details… Which make the wholeness!

The romantic look is simple but rich of details, with flounces and ribbons, mostly very sweet details. Obviously even floral prints are a great motif, for example roses or leafs. Like this exquisite Moschino Cheap and Chic floral printed dress. A perfect example of a romantic dress.

A must to get the sensual romantic look is the embroidery, which undoubtedly gives you that feminine look you desire. It could be a knitted cardigan or a blouse with embroideries on the chest. As the Moschino Cheap and Chic short cardigan on the photo. So simple but still so cute and irresistible. Perfect to light blue jeans and a similar coloured shoe.

Last but not least except the details important as well are the accessories. Sweet earrings, bracelets etc. It’s only for you to experiment now!

The top designer’s glamorous dresses are partly made in sheer fabrics partly full of pearls and decoration which together creates an ideal style for summer nights. The style is somehow provocative but still very delicate!

For a more classic black look Valentino is just right, who remains simple but still very feminine.

Fendi with its this year fashionable surrealistic and odd style, is perfect for you who desire a stronger black look!

The preciousness of this dress is even better stressed by the big and elaborate belt, that gives a sparkling touch to the dress.The final effect is improved by the choice of red platform shoes and by red accessories.

Also the famous singer and actress Beyonce Knowles couldn’t resist and for the first of her new film “Cadillac Redords”, she also chose a dress from the spring collection 2009 of Dolce&Gabbana.

She prefers a more close-fitting mise. The red is replaced by a more classical and quieter black. The belt with golden and silver details became the focal point of all the dress.

Lace is a 2008/09 fall-winter protagonist, a real trend at the moment. For ages laces have been the best fiends of woman. Chic, smart, precious material, lace was the sign of aristocratic people. Unfortunately this fabric recently had a tailing-off of interest but things are changed!

Prada, in his collection reproposes the use of lace, not as a simple ornamentation but sometimes as the real protagonist of his defilet. Dresses, skirts, shirts are all made of laces.

This co-operation originated a really splendid and fascinating collection, that seems to be a really work of art. Clothes, as paintings, are a real wearing masterpiece.

All the patterns on clothes and bags, have as subject Berlin metropolitan’s landscape. They take their origin by an accurate study of proportion and volume. They show a link between reality and imagination, due to the presence of senseless connection between real place and imaginative figures, likes exotic animals and unsuitable figures and objects.

Large trousers, the new trend

In Christian Dior, Giorgio Armani, styles and trends on November 26, 2008 at 5:00 pm

As we know, fashion trends change vary quickly, a good and fitting example are trousers. The return to the fashion stage of bell-bottom and large trousers is not more a secret for the expert of fashion.

In many defilet, narrow trousers, that excelled last year, have been replaced by other: larger and more comfortable. The difference from the past is not only the big-sized, but also the long waist that replaces more familial short ones. So there is a real return to the past.

The dimension of trousers obviously depends on the stylish.
Giorgio Armani, for example, shows us an aggressive and clean line collection. A strong personality and a peculiar design makes it original, witty and fresh.
The unusual style is emphasizes by the big belt or the original material, like nylon. Another peculiarity of Emporio Armani collection are the big pockets that gave a sportive touch at the trousers. giorgio-armanigiorgio-armani2

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The collection of Christian Dior  has a more classic style than Armani ones. His collection is classical not only for his dress-length but also for the squared weft.
Contributes to give a classic style also the type of material used, not more innovative like that one of Armani. He uses silk, rich and undying material. Christian Dior so joins the innovation of large trousers with classical elements, and this is the real strength of his collection. cristian-diorcristian-dior2

A coloured winter

In Fashion Online, Roberto Cavalli, styles and trends on November 26, 2008 at 12:04 pm

For ages winter has been synonymous of cold, melancholy and sadness. The rigours of winter has also inevitably influenced clothes and fashion. The result were dark and serious colours that imbue our style of dress, sometimes making it impersonal and strict too.

This year things seem to be changed. Many important designers in fact, have re-introduced gaudy colours and brilliant patterns, that make winter clothes more attractive as the girls that wear them.

Missoni in his collection propose us really coloured, jersey minidresses. Geometrical patterns are the main characteristic of his collection.
Practical,comfortable but also chic this dresses are suitable for all kinds of circumstance.m-missoni-23m-missoni-3

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Roberto Cavalli like Missoni, gives many importance in his new fall-winter collection to brilliant colours. He uses lots of fuchsia, pink, green, violet and black as background. The materials are more valuable, silk and chiffon: this are the main employed ones. roberto-cavalliroberto-cavalli-2

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Emilio Pucci maybe is the designer that better embodies this necessity of colour and brightness, used as remedy to the dark and sad days of winter.His creations are fresh and witty too, coloured as a Pop picture, bear the good humour also during the most raining days of the year. The eccentricity is their strength.
The turtleneck make this dress both smart and casual-chic, perfect to be worn in all circumstances: at morning with a leather jacket, or as cocktail dress too. This item of clothing for his versatility is really indispensable. emilio-pucciemilio-pucci-2emilio-pucci-3
