New York Fashion Week so far

I don't know how about you, but once the fashion month kicks off, I am glued to a screen to watch live streams, twitter and instagram (for all the behind the scenes) and check out Style.com to swoon over all the proper images. So far I've seen some amazing shows from New York and am excited for things to come.

What have been your favourite shows/looks so far?

Helmut Lang

Effortlessly cool, I've been a long time fan.

Jason Wu

Pretty and feminine. Everything I want in clothes. Peplum is still going strong and love the polka dot details.

Prabal Gurung
Military inspired but still very feminine. Great detailing.

Herve Leger

Herve Leger never ceases to amaze me. Season after season they produce highly desirable dresses. I want them all!

TibiGotta love a skirt and thigh-high boots, chunky knits and well cut trousers.

Have a stylish day.

Party feet - Jason Wu AW 12

I can't believe the fashion month is upon us again. Where has the time gone? I am obviously very excited and as much as I would love to attend all fashion weeks, I can't, but always make sure I watch some live streams and catch up on all the photos on style.com.
My favourite show from yesterday is without a doubt Jason Wu. The whole collection had a strong military influence, which I'm not normally a fan of, but it was done in such a chic way, that I loved every single outfit. It was very sexy and sophisticated. I loved all the high-waisted skirts, fur and embroidery. There were Asian prints and colour palette of mostly black, khaki, red and fuchsia.
I also loved the studded shoes and sandals and printed pumps. That's why I decided to use his show as part of Party feet post.
What do you think of the collection? Which was your favourite so far?
Have a stylish day.

Fashion politics - by Michelle Obama

When Barack Obama was voted the first black president it was a massive change for the world of politics. Little did we know his wife would have a huge impact in the world as well. His speech about change was very appropriate for more than the obvious reasons. Ever since the inaugural ball, and Michelle Obama stepping out in THAT gown by Jason Wu, the world of fashion suspected maybe the change wouldn't only happen in politics.
Michelle Obama knows how to dress. It's been a while since people were so interested what the First lady would wear. Probably not since Grace Kelly, the princess of Monaco, who's to this day seen as a style icon, would the First Woman of state cause headlines of her own and even appear on a cover of Vogue! But people can't get enough of Michelle Obama. There is more that meets the eye, but today we're talking about here style. And great style she's got! With nice womanly figure it makes the choices easier. She often wears well fitted shift dresses that suit her so well. And thanks to her skin colour she can be mire bold with her colour choices and she's making the most of it. Expect the lot: yellows, greens, reds, purples.. She wears it all with grace and looks great. She shows women that you can have fun with 'workwear'. There are certain politics in fashion and Michelle is a proof there can be fashion in politics. Other First Ladies should take notice! Hers is a way how to look glamorous and present your state well at the same time.
Have a stylish day.

Sidewalk Catwalk Broadway pic #2

By Jason Wu
As this is a new feature and I bet you can't wait to see more pictures, I'm bringing you another one. Don't say I'm not nice to you ;) Love this design by Jason Wu, who got recognition all over the world, after the first lady of the United States Michelle Obama wore his gown for the inaugural ball. She's a big fan of him and by looking at his work, you can see why.
Have a stylish day.

Sidewalk catwalk Broadway

In July I visited New York City and was very fortunate in a way, that there were lots of special fashion exhibitions and shows I could visit. Although I am sure there is always plenty to see and do anyway. One of the special projects was Sidewalk Catwalk - a series of mannequins put on Broadway between Herald Square and Times Square. The event was on between July 24th until September 3rd. Many famous names created a special outfit, to stand the test of time and weather conditions. Designers including: Diane Von Furstenberg, Prabal Gurung, Tommy Hilfiger, Michel Kors and Jason Wu to name just a few. In the end all the mannequins were auctioned and all the proceeds went to charity. In the following couple of weeks I'll be bringing you pictures of most of the display. It was very inspiring and I'm grateful to have seen it live.
Have a stylish day.
