Louis Vuitton - pf 2016

I've been internet hunting for semi-functional platform combat boots --& now Vuitton's doing em in patent w/ white laces. 

Gothy gown

a la Madonna's Frozen video (1998)

I'm also waiting for life to allow pointy-toe, lace-up stiletto booties,

Very cheap on stripped sites.

Bottega Veneta: PF 2016

WOW. What a collection.

The odd combination of colour, cut, print, fur...

The 70s & 80s vibe

diagonal stripes 

shearling & fur vest-coat w/ striped angora sweater

Pre-fall 2016 Series: SONIA by Sonia Rykiel

Stiff trench + muted acidwash + pointy ankle booties + pilot necktie

Gives me the feeling of young women playing dress-up in slightly older clothing, so it has that brashness, that edge, but is playful.

Lacey tights seem to be a 2016 thing

Speaking of tights-- I Love white tights. SO ballet-kinderwhore

The spidery, Siouxsie ankle booties (apparently called Winklepickers) really take the concept to a smarter level.

Angsty Darling, pink + red blech

Easter supp b&w

Sheer flowery, polka dot dress + clashy lace & snakeskin

Blouse w/ long neck-tie

Velvety suits & neon jumpers

Pre-fall 2016 Series: CHANEL

Glittery, gold-laced smoky nightdreams

Now, I'm not one of those fans who's impressed by everything the big whigs do (Chanel, Louis Vuitton & the like). + Who can ignore the fact that Coco Chanel herself was a known Nazi. 

But I Do enjoy & appreciate design & fashion for what it is: 

Self-expression, Art, & manifesting a Fantasy.

That being said, I was floored by the incredible set built for this runway show, much moreso than the actual clothes. 

Chanel's locations are often incredible, but this was something else.

You HAVE to check out the details that went into the atmosphere (link below).

"the Chanel Pre-Fall 2016 show at the iconic Cinecitta film studio in Rome. Originially built by Mussolini in the 1930's, the re-created scene was a dark yet dreamy, moonlit Paris street, which set the scene for the collection." - Chloe Allan, buro247.com
