Marilyn Monroe for Chanel No5

   Blonde bombshell and timeless sex symbol, Marilyn Monroe lives on, the quirky and innocent American sweetheart speaks about her relationship with the iconic perfume, Chanel No.5...the whole 2:33 minutes are strangely mesmerizing, Chanel lock me into a world of the captivation and  power a single drop of Chanel No.5 can cause. Marilyn with her ever pursed flawless lips and her enigmatic allows me, well all women, to have a peep into the legend surrounding the perfume. I love the campaign, how they use the footage of the tape recording and how Marilyn ever so slightly makes us feel like we are in a dream, a dream only possible with the token Chanel No.5 perfume, its a brilliant campaign.

"What do you wear to bed?"....."I wear Chanel No.5".

Perfection never sounded so good.

                     

NYFW : Louise Goldin

(IMAGES COURTESY OF STYLE.COM) 

New York City, so far has showcased a dazzling collection of designers from Helmut Lang and their collection of stripped back minimalism to the flower power of the Ruffian collection. The designer who has caught my eye, is designer Louise Goldin, her collection has embraced a stunning combination of sports-luxe and simplicity. I do adore the colour palette of the collection, the use of nude has incorporated really well, the details of collage-like clothing is something I love, the input of art in the collection is liberating.  The outlining of the clothing pieces an exaggeration is brilliant, I'm not a big fan of the other colours I think they are great but I wouldn't wear them, my favourite pieces are the white pieces with the black outlining. I think the shoes and frilly socks are adorable, remind me of Catholic school girls, the socks that is, the heels are not really my thing, but they fit well with the collection. I will certainly be keeping an eye on Ms Louise Goldin.

Los Vladimirovich FW13-14

Los Vladimirovich's FW13 campaign is dazzling, I love my jackets I think they are key pieces for outfits, everybody should have that one coat which get's people's eyes raising. This collection is perfect, I love everything about it, slight grungy or rock 'n' roll laced with drops of classic tailoring. Obviously, Cole Mohr is another valid reason why this campaign is awesome, great models with a stunning collection of tattoos which is a kind of accessorie of its own. My favoruite jackets are as follow, the orange jacket I love the grey collaring and the inside, the combination of grey and orange is pretty clever and subdubed. Menswear is chillingly perfect, its not fair, I'm sorry but they look so good in it, ah menswear designers do it so well, watch the video.

Paradisaical Pink.

L2R : CELINE - PAUL & JOE - MIU MIU - SIMONE ROCHA. 

Pink is a colour people either love or hate, with it's strong notions of femininity, the colour has popped up numerous times on the Autumn/Winter 2013 catwalk, from a vast selection of designers. I myself don't see the delight people take in the colour pink but due to the AW13 catwalk shows, I have been slightly exposed to it's paradisaical side.

A certain extravagances is shown from the colour itself and it's spectrum, pale pinks offer an outfit a sense of purity and innocence while the catatonic neon pinks offer a rawness and vibrancy to pieces. Pink can hold it's limitations, I wouldn't normally associate pinks pale or other with Autumn or Winter pieces but designers say other, a lot of designers are using pinks for jackets and coats, the usage of pink and the combination of

I wouldn't personally wear them but due to the precise clean cut tailoring the colour becomes instantly flawless.

On Thursday, Pop PR revealed their new client, a handbag brand, Feather.M’ Spring/Summer 2014 collection, it was unveiled at Wolf and Badger’s Dover Street store. The collection exhibited a vibrant range of handcrafted clutches, from day bags to evening clutches, although crafted in London a selection of worldwide fine materials are used, such as snakeskin, suede and leather.  

Feather.M is a company which holds ethical standards of being simplistic, contemporary and classy; a use of classic of patterns such as leopard print combined with a fine clean-cut leather outline provides the clutch with a sense of simplicity. In terms of the colour palette of the clutches and bags, yesterday bright fuchsia pinks, mustard yellows were the choices of colours; this approach really does give the bags an avant-garde air about them.
