Fashion Thesis #23 Urban Comouflage by Valentino

Urban Camouflage by Valentino

The military look is back this Spring Summer 2013. Whenever I think of camouflage inspired outfit, Valentino just comes to my mind naturally. this shows how powerful it has been positioned in the mind of fashionistas! Valentino has made military look so chic with matching accessories such as clutches seen in the runway and even trainers which i have posted previously!

The collection colour palette consist mainly of olives green and hues of brown. If you think full camouflage is too loud to handle, you may want to consider the above where slight colour-blocking is done to emulate the current trend!

Fashion Thesis #20

SAINT LAURENT FALL/WINTER 2013

This is definitely one of the most anticipated show in Paris Fashion Week 2013 as Hedi Slimane will be making his debut for Saint Laurent menswear! It created a controversy among fashionistas when fashion house Yves Saint Laurent (YSL) converted their well established brand name to Saint Laurent Paris (SLP). But after witnessing the magic Slimane has created on the runway, who cares if it's called YSL or SLP!?!

Hedi Slimane brought on stage the Los Angeles culture and musician-inspired styles. The collection revolves around oversize strip knitted scarves to ripped skinny denim to the trim blazer. I'm totally diggin' the oversized knitted scarf and the rugged skinny jeans look!

Brazilian couturier Atelier Gustavolins brought 6 delicate pieces from his collection on stage during Paris Fashion Week 2013. The collection focus mainly on draped coats that are slightly over sized completed with slim fit pants & beautiful accessories!  I'm officially in love with his collection again!

I first witnessed his magic when i attended French Couture Week 2013 hosted by Fide Fashion Weeks and was blown off by his awe-inspiring collection! It was a fruitful event as he was one of the few designer who also presented menswear! Below are some of the exquisite pieces presented.

Fashion Thesis #17

Dior Homme Fall / Winter Collection 2013

With the departure of Hedi Slimane in 2007, Kris Van Assche took over Dior Homme and implemented a more formal and minimal style.Till today, Kris Van Assche stayed firm to that vision which can be clearly reflected in his collection for FW13. The collection focuses on creating clean silhouettes with nothing too fancy but with great workmanship.   Models who are donned in classics are spotted with belts worn a little 'high-waisted' outside their coats. 

With just a circle and triangle, an interesting symmetrical shape is formed which are printed on shirts and coats. This gives the classic pieces a slight touch, yet without destroying the structure! Wise move!
