Manish Arora Fall 2015

Fushia, doré, orange, vert, bleu... Comme toujours, le défilé Manish Arora nous a présenté une très large palette de couleurs. Ce défilé s'est ouvert sur un pull à strass sur lequel un hibou était brodé ainsi que la phrase "Winter is coming". Cette phrase vous dit surement quelque chose si vous êtes fan de Game of Thrones, étant donné que c'est le nom du premier épisode et qu'elle est utilisée à plusieurs reprises dans la série. Manish Arora a crée tout un univers avec cette collection, un univers de conte médiéval remodelé à sa façon avec des inspirations pop. La femme Arora s'est transformé en véritable guerrière avec son armure doré, ses casques et ses collants en grillage de cuir, balançant une minaudière en forme de crâne. Lorsque ses épaules ne sont pas ornées de plumes, elles accueillent un hibou - figure que l'on a retrouvé tout au long de la collection sous différentes formes -, un dragon ou encore un corbeau. Le styliste a su créer tout un personnage en mélangeant guerriers médiévaux, tribus et en y ajoutant son propre style. Une recette qui a donné un résultat très intéressant. Les influences tribales ont surtout été aperçues dans les accessoires de nez, qui sont en effet un clin d’œil aux tribus aborigènes.

Fuchsia, gold, orange, green, blue... As always, the Manish Arora show had a very wide range of colors. A rhinestone sweater strass on which an owl was embroidered as well as and the sentence "Winter is coming" opened the show. This sentence probably sounds familiar if you're a fan of Game of Thrones, since it is the name of first episode and it's used several times in the series. Manish Arora has created a universe with this collection, a medieval tale restructured his way with pop inspirations. The Arora woman has turned into a true warrior, wearing a golden armor, a helmet and leather mesh tights, holding a bag shaped like a skull. When her shoulders are not decorated with feathers, they welcome an owl - figure we found all through the collection in different forms - a dragon or a crow. The stylist has created a whole character by mixing medieval warriors, tribes and by adding his own style to it. A recipe that gave a very interesting result. Tribal influences were mostly seen in the nose accessories, that are indeed a reference to aboriginal tribes.

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
