It's an instagram life #23
Like many other people, I'm feeling the mood for all thing burgundy - one of the biggest trends for autumn. My Chanel nail polish - Rouge Noir - fits the mood perfectly.
I'm the definite handbag girl and find the below quote from Coach Bond street store very true.
London is starting to look very Christmasy, with Oxford street light switched on last week.
I love gold nearly as pink. What an amazing colour. Can't wait for the party season and wear my Jimmy Choo wedges loads. My Michael Kors watch is an everyday essential and so is YSL bracelet.
Another quote, this time from Audrey Hepburn, doesn't need any comment. It says it all..
Have a stylish day.
Meeting the icons
Yesterday I had a great day full of fantastic appointmens and events. I will write more about the other ones next time, but for today let's concentrate on attending of announcing the winner of the International Woolmark Prize European Award. See bellow Christian Winjants with one of his winning designs and also the official photo of the judges: Dean and Dan of Dsquared2, Alber Elbaz (Lanvin), Tim blanks (style.com), Alexandra Schulman (Vogue UK), Giles Deacon and Christine Arp (Vogue Germany). I apologise for the quality of my pictures as my camera is broken..
It was such an honour to be part of this event and be in the same room as many of my icons! I am the biggest fan of Lanvin's Alber Elbaz and now I love him even more as a person, because he was very funny a generally lovely. He announced the winner and I was hoping to have a photo taken with him but he was busy so I asked Dean and Dan of Dsquared2 instead, who were lovely too.
We sipped champagne and nibbled on canapés and it was a great afternoon.
I wore another sale score from Zara (skirt) and a top from Nelly. Outfit post coming soon.
Have a stylish day.
Stylish answers - Liz Black
I loved Liz Black's AW collection so much, that I simply had to bring you some more pictures and of course a short interview with the talented designer. Among other things, we talked about THAT dress worn by Lady Gaga. AW is quite simple and minimalistic, but with interesting detailing and sexy, I love it and want everything! Read the interview below.
Have a stylish day.
1.) First of all tell me about Lady Gaga wearing your dress. Did it put a big spotlight on you and your work or it didn't have any impact at all?
Lady Gaga is a very daring fashion forward girl. It was great to see my dress in someone that appreciates fashion and enjoyed wearing it. It attracted a lot of press attention around the globe, including Vogue.UK, Elle.UK.
2.) What was the inspiration behind that dress/collection?
- Geometric and circular shapes inspired by the Orphist artist Sonia Delaunay.
- Print influenced by the work of abstract expressionist Jackson Pollock
- Masculine influences such as bow ties, lapels and collars sewn
3.) What other celebrity would you like to wear your designs and why?
More than a celebrity I would love to dress up the fashion icon Daphne Guinness.
4.) Did you always want to be a fashion designer? If you weren't a designer what would you be?
Since I was a child I used to design clothes for my dolls and later as a teenager I continued designing for friends and myself. I always knew I would end up designing for an audience. However I studied dentistry back in my country before becoming a fashion designer.
5.) What are your dreams/goals?
Showing on the catwalk at London Fashion Week would ultimately be one of the greatest things for Liz Black and being able to develop our label into an international highly desirable luxury brand, attracting loads of attention and generating significant press and celebrity placements.
