Tilda rocks

I am a huge fan of this lovely woman. Tilda Swinton rocks my world. She really is my favorite of all the Hollywood Queens.

Perfect in all ways

Its easy to spot a truly great collection; its when the details are beautiful and thought through. A really really good example of this, is the Dior haute couture collection for spring 2007. Of all times this is one of my favorite collection. When Galliano does what he does this brilliantly, there is no one who can touch him.  

Victor and Rolf

For the fall/winter 2009 show in Paris, Victor and Rolf was inspired by the ancient Greece and Rome. But always with a twist. The interesting thing about this collection was not really all the draped dresses, but the sculptural jackets that were almost 3D. Victor and Rolf always know how to stand out. This may not work off the runway, because it's surly some serious runway clothes, but perhaps in small doses it could work out in the real world. I'm not quite sure what I think yet. But I think that I could be a buyer for that powder blazer. That one is really me and really Victor and Rolf. 

All the 3D dresses and jackets reminded me a bit about how a snow crystal look up close. Perhaps that was some of the inspiration for this collection. 

No no no...

It's no secret that I have a special love for shoes. And on top of that I have a love for Olivier Theyskens and his work at Nina Ricci. Some say that this will be his last collection for Nina Ricci, and then he will start on his own again. I think he makes some of the most sophisticated collections in all of Paris. What he does is truly Parisian. But these shoes here... I mean come on! I can't imagine any buyer for these. They are crazy, and not sophisticated at all. 

All you need is a hat

For some years now I have had my eyes on the British born but Berlin stored Fiona Bennet. I love a beautiful made hat, but with a twist. I would never wear a classic British wedding'ish hat. But a Fiona Bennet hat on the other hand, is so fashionable and so chic that I more or less want them all. Every time I go to Berlin, or my sister goes there, we have a traditions of going to the Bennet shop in große hamburger straße 25 and take a picture of the window decorations, because they are always so lovely. 

Silver!

I have been looking at these pants for about half a year now. I fell in love with the type of pants in London in August last year when I went to Alexander McQueen's store in Old Bond St, where I saw a pair in the color like the wine red dresses that was on the Yves Saint Laurent show for spring/summer 2009. Any way, but Les Chiffoniers makes some really cool and sexy pants. So the next time I have 650 Euro I don't know what to do about, then I will by these silver pants!

 

Fashion I want... Now. A rock and roll Cleopatra

It seems to be the time of old fashion house renaissance. First it was Lanvin and Balenciage who came back from the death, and now it is Balmain's turn. The house of Balmain was founded in 1945 after the end of World War II. Pierre Balmain was a part of the New Look trend which Dior started in 1947 in Paris. Balmain once said that "dressmaking is the architecture of movement." To day the house is in the hands of the young fashion designer Christophe Decarnin who certainly makes fashionable almost couture like architecture. In very short time Decarnin has been able to pick up the pieces from the old Parisian fashion house and turn it in to once more become one of the worlds most important brands. The spring/summer 2009 collection was in my opinion a very strong and as always extraordinary collection. To me it seemed like the whole collection was a blend of rock and roll and ancient Egypt. Kind of like a chic, updated, funky, Parisian Cleopatra. I want the green dress so bad! In my dreams it's mine. Hurray!
