Cactus Flower

I'm not so fashion forwarded, so I don't really like to write about fashion weeks and collections we'll wear (ok, I pretend I'll wear...) not so soon. But there are collections I see and love at first sight and I cannot wait for a long season to talk about them.
That said, after Prada, I'm pretty sure a lot of us will be fond on the Rochas FW 2010/11 one as well.

The inspiration for the whole collection came from Cactus Flower, a 1969 movie with Goldie Hawn (she won the Oscar for the performance) and Ingrid Bergman. What a curious couple, don't you think?!


The character of Miss Hawn looks adorable, so fresh and funny





and the collection totally reflects the mood of late '60/early '70s in shapes and prints and colors, adding a lot of feminine details.











Modern vintage, here we come!

Just My Cup Of Tea

Ok, I need no words to describe Prada FW 2010/11 collection. I'm probably not objective, but with all those 50s touches Prada's ladies are just what I dream of.













The colors, the elegance of knitwear - the fab light blue sweaters, the headbands and the perfect cable knit socks - the impeccable embroidered dresses and embellished pointy stilettos, the bow belts and the Oh-My-God sunglasses. Nothing too bold, a quiet collection definitely ladylike. So retro, yet so modern.

...So Betty Draper!!


Well, it's simply my cup of tea...

Pick A Flower

I love little dresses, you know. I heart flowers, you should know this too. I adore Erdem, you could imagine this...


I looked at pictures of Erdem Spring/Summer 2010 collection with a big smile on my face, those flower prints are marvellous - I thought. Only when I took a closer look at detail shots I realized the flowers are not printed but for the biggest part they're actually sewn and embroidered on fabric. It's magic!


May I have every single piece of this collection?

Oh My Dior!

Ok, so you may know I (im)patiently wait for Dior Couture show every season and this time too I'm not disappointed.






After the amazing pieces Galliano presented last Fall, here he is with another magnificent, opulent and impeccable collection.






Riding jackets and skirts, cocktail dresses and to-die-for ball gowns: oh my, I love everything! And what about the makeup, the accessories and the whole show? Perfection!!






In my opinion, this is exactly what Haute Couture has to be.
