Even though I titled this as 'from Fashion Week', but the truth is, everything is going to be about Theyskens' Theory. Not. It'll be a few selected shows I really love. And I have no idea what that black frame around my picture collages are all about; the models were supposed to be floating in mid air, but let's just deal with this.
First up, Theyskens' Theory. With the theme 'futuristic', I could see how he was able to use the concept of spacesuits into completing a show, without the expense of his well-known 'minimalistic contemporary androgynous wear' (see furthest right look, spacesuit inspired trousers that still retains simplicity).
Highlights from the show: Knee high black leather booties with elongated zippers running down the sides, I love how Olivier Theyskens keeps his designs fashionable yet sleek and sophisticated at the same time. His loosely, yet somewhat tapered-esque trousers (see last two looks) also caught my attention because A) I'm a trousers whore, B) those are the perfect, relaxed trousers I should possess, and C) Very Theory. Very New York girl meets French chic.
I am still clueless to why people (I know and met) are disliking 3.1 Phillip Lim this season. On the contrary, I kinda like it. His recent collection gave me the downtown suburb girl having a closet intervention by revamping the accustomed 'biker chic black' with colours and textures.
Highlights from the show: I would like to say their Knee high combat booties as well, but nah, their overly patchwork is way better. Even though the far end looks still resembles slight uptown girls, but with a combat bootie and a bag slinged sideways? Uptown girls have finally decided to channel their inner downtown. And can we talk about looks two and three from left? Phillip Lim's newly edition (or was the design already constructed?) Ryder bag in green/coloured fur, definitely something I would purchase.
Besides Theory, I've always looked forward (am still looking forward though) to Topshop Unique shows as well. Just because Topshop is one of my favourite high street brands, as well as their Unique lines that always look fabulous. That's why it's 'unique', duh (pun intended in every way).
Highlights from the show: Patent leather skirts that exude the disco feel. Lots of oversized skirts played in this show, with the combination of crop pullovers (furryyyy) or otherwise collared jumpsuits. Did I just mentioned jumpsuits? Mmmm hmmm gurl, we all do need a little onesies at times (see here).
Cavalli has decided to use bhutanese prints (tons of dragons and temple-esque feel, wanted to say oriental but style.com told me it was bhutanese). Something that I like about Just Cavalli is that Roberto is smart enough to transpose such delicate and opulent print into the most simple garment (like a dress or a tee). Well done with the print overdose!
Highlights from the show: Their printed one piece dress (second from left) and fur collared parka (see here) were literally ineffable. Finally a parka that allows it to be distinguishable from the plethora of utilitarian green ones. A parka that I would definitely wear. The dragon motif tee (second from right) is also something my closet is screaming to have.
Now I need a closet intervention. The love-hate relationship with fashion week.
