Dolce & Gabbana Fall Winter 2014/2015


 Parlons de quelque chosedont nous avons jamais parlé auparavant: les collections pour hommes. Et la raison pour laquelle nous allons commencer à en parler n'est autre que le dernier défilé Dolce & Gabbana. Dolce & Gabbana est l'une de nos marques préférées et elle nous a toujours beaucoup inspiré. Nous adorons les références historiques et le côté artistique des vêtements. Par exemple, cette collection a été inspiré de la Renaissance, et rend hommage à la famille sicilienne. Par conséquent, "Amore", "Famiglia" and "Love Forever" étaient les leitmotives de cette collection automne/hiver 2014/2015. Nous avons complètement craqué pour les pulls; certains étaient très représentatifs de cette idée qu'est la famille, avec des photos de familles italiennes imprimées dessus, tantôt très anciennes tantôt modernes. Mais cette idée est allée bien plus loin que de simples photographies imprimées sur des vêtements. Il y avait aussi ce qui ressemblait à des dessins de familles en plein milieu d'un pull à motifs fleuris, ce qui créait un contraste intéressant. Nous avons aussi beaucoup aimé les vestes en velours et les motifs royaux, parfois combiné avec des jeans déchirés. Enfin, c'est un homme plus âgé qui a clôt le défilé dans un manteau en fourrure kaki; un choix qui illustre l'idée de la famille que les stylistes voulaient nous montrer à travers leur collection, et qui prouve l'intemporalité de leur style.
Let's talk about something we have never really mentioned before: menswear. The reason why we are going to talk about this is Dolce & Gabbana's latest show. Dolce & Gabbana is one of our favorite brand, it has always been very inspiring for us. We love the historical references and the very artistic side of the clothes. For instance, this collection has been inspired by the Renaissance, and pays tribute to the sicilian family. Therefore, "Amore", "Famiglia" and "Love Forever" were the leitmotiv of this fall 2014/2015 collection. The sweaters are what we died for. Some of them were really representative of this idea of the family, with picture of actual italian families printed on them, some of them very old and others more morden. But the idea went farther than simple photographs printed on sweaters. There were also what looked like drawings standing in the middle of a floral printed sweater, that created an interesting contrast. We also loved the velvet jackets and royal prints, such as crowns or bees, sometimes combined when ripped jeans. Finally, an older man ended the show in a green fur coat; a choice that illustrated the idea of the family the designers wanted to introduce through their collection, and that shows the timelessness of their style.

Harry Styles, a fashion icon who breaks the rules

Harry Styles is known for being part of the well-known band One Direction, but also for his outfits and his taste for fashion. Indeed, at 21 years old only, the singer's looks helped him gained eminence in the fashion world, even though he is already considered a fashion icon. Harry's style is very particular. He usually wears extra-skinny jeans, printed shirts widely unbuttoned and boots. He wears a lot of Saint Laurent – which is doubtless his favorite brand – as well as some Marc Jacobs and Louis Vuitton. He kind of is the new Mick Jagger, in terms of fashion. In fact, his style could be described as rock n' roll chic, which explains his love for Saint Laurent – whose image was reinvented by Hedi Slimane . If Harry was a brand, he would definitely be Saint Laurent, which is one of the biggest names in fashion nowadays, especially in menswear. We would love seeing him walk for the iconic brand he does justice and is loyal to. But you know that for

PFW: Viktor & Rolf Couture Fall Winter 2015/2016 - "Wearable Art"

This wednesday Viktor and Rolf  presented their latest Haute Couture collection in Paris they named "Wearable Art". If you don't know it yet, the two designers revealed they would follow the steps of Jean Paul Gaultier by only focusing on Haute Couture. This show truly showed how fashion is a full art - wearable art to use their own words. While a lot of people question the true meaning of Couture, defining it as a bunch of expensive clothes you will never wear, Viktor and Rolf got things straight: fashion should not be considered only as a way to look good and following trends is boring - even though it is kind of important since it portrays a certain generation. Fashion should be considered as art on the same level as painting, architecture, poetry, music... If you are going to spend tons of money on a painting, why not on an outfit ? Both are different kinds of art. Anyway, it is interesting to see how the show evolved. The first looks consisted on denim sm
