Paris Fashion Week 1

As always are the best collections showed during Paris Fashion Week. So I have two parts. Here are the first ones of my favorites. xx

Last weeks arrivals

Unfortunately these are just new season arrivals and not additions to my wardrobe, if only... I took a look at the latest arrivals at My Theresa and we probably all know that there are way too many good items on that site. Especially this season the articles are incredibly gooood, or is that just me?! I like all items above a lot, which one is your favorite?

Pleated sweater dress: Victoria Beckham | Shearling jacket: Isabel Marant Étoile | Leather ankle boots: Balenciaga | D-frame sunnies: Dries van Noten | Rockie shoulder bag: Alexander Wang | Hoop earrings: Bottega Veneta |  Embellished printed tanktop: 3.1. Phillip Lim

Inbetween collections: Balenciaga and 3.1. Phillip Lim

Balenciaga Pre-Spring 2014: Back to house basics

Alexander Wang took his whole team from Paris to Spain, Cristóbal Balenciaga's native home, for this pre spring collection. Just like his debut collection for Balenciaga, Alexander Wang choose a black and white theme. This collection contains a modern approach on Balenciaga's typical silhouettes. But of course Wang also added some things with his signature aesthetic in it like those strange hats (kinda lampshade-like), boxy shapes and inventive material use (telephone wire used as ankle straps).

3.1.Phillip Lim Resort 2014: A Pashli backpack is born
Lots of metallics, color, leather and boxy shapes. Love how colorful this whole collection is and how many different textures and fabrics are used to create this 'It looks like a complete wardrobe' collection. I want every item, there are dresses, shorts, trousers, skirts, jackets, tees, many different shoes and bags, hats, glasses, etc. I wouldn't mind trading my whole wardrobe for those ten looks above, what about you? xx

Paris Fashion Week Part 1

Balenciaga: boxy shapes, all black, painted sweaters, cut-outs, silver details and cleavage shoes.

Balmain: eighties, powersuits, squared shoulders, boot/trousers onepieces, silver and graphic embossings.

Isabel Marant: layers, lammy coats, studs, cut outs, all white ensemble, leather and strapped wedge boots.

Love the above collections, but especially the details. Alexander did a great job for his debut at Balenciaga, love the latex painted sweaters. The Balmain collection is just great because it's so much fun, a eighties futuristic collection with lots of metallic blazers and dresses with deep decollete. And then the Isabel Marant collection, I do like the studded items and the idea of layering three or four thin tops, but overall it's a bit boring. The strapped wedge booties are great though, if you ask me that is.
