Paris fashion week. My favourite!

And finally we are to see and maybe discuss the Paris fasion week, which is of course my favourite. The collections you see in Paris are the most complete, professional and exiting. I believe that fashion comes from France. Unfortunately there was a great disappointment. The Chanel show was the worst among all the shows during the season. I have never seen something as unprofessional and untalanted as this collection. 
But there were so many other designers who showed amazing pieces!
So we start with Alexander McQueen.  Sarah Burton continues the house traditions in a very siccessful way! We can see everything what we expect from the brand : feminine silhouette, complicated cut and patterns and a sense of a strong and maybe even a little bit agressive woman. 





Collette Dinnigan was a new name for me. I like discovering new brands and this is a never ending story because every season there is a new designer that comes into the fashion world, and sometimes there is someone you missed during the previous season. Collette's collection is quite simple. No amazing evening gowns or interesting cuts. But it has a charm. 


Dior collection is a dream! John Galliano is a true artist! Every piece, every look is ideal. I would put the whole collection in here, but there are also other disigners)) The collection is full of colors, different style pieces. You can see a doll-girl a horse woman... With these clothes you can be whoever you want, depending on your living style or your mood. And this is what makes the brand so special. 






The collection by Elie Saab was not usual for him. We always see amazing chic dresses, but this time it is more simple and restrained. But look at the silhouette and the cut! It is just wonderful!




And we are back to my lovely John Galliano! This is a dress from the collection for his own brand. You can always see the similarity in his collections for Dior and his brand. But John Galliano is always more extravagant. His clothes bring a little bit of crazyness to your look!


Givenchy collection was... unexpected. At first I found it quite strange, and I still do)) But I do think there are a lot of interesting pieces. I did not like the big ammount of the similar clothes. Half of the collection gives the impression of being made in the last day before the show. But the other half is really worthy looking and wearing. Here is the look I liked the most. 


Here is Lanvin collection by my adorable Alber Elbaz. The form of his dresses is brilliant. Frills, volants and wide shoulders make the dresses so different from all the other stuff we see on the podium. You can never mix up Elbaz with any other designer. 



Valentino is now very different from what it used to be when Valentino Garavani was the head of the house. But Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pier Paolo Picciolido their best to keep the brand on high level and do their job very well. The collction is light. I see a young woman wearing the clothes. These pieces bring positive. 


Yves Saint Laurent collection was traditional. Nothing unexpected. Famous suits and white and black colors, straight lines and simplicity. And that is what for the brand is respected. 


And the last but not the least! Zac Posen who never betrays his style. He understands the woman's body and he wishes to show its great lines. The woman in his dress is always as beautiful as she can only be!

Such skirts are my passion!

I adore long wide skirts. I find it so feminine. Other girls do not wear such skirts often. I was so exited with Marc Jacobs for Louis Vuitton collection Fall 2010, which was full of wonderful shapes from the 1930s. (The only Marc Jacobs for LV collection I liked. Because the two following ones will probably appear in the post "the worst pieces from fashion weeks of the season"). Such things are so elegant, I just can not resist!

crazy colored flowers.

So yellow again. Today my friend said that the dress reminds her of Kenzo crazy patterns. I do agree. Since 1970 Kenzo house of fashion created a lot of unusual styles and colored patterns. So when we see something colorful, Kenzo is one of the first brands which come to your head.





A little bit of old stuff again. This wonderful Balenciaga bag is with me since I became a student, it lived in Japan with me. I love it. Though usually people know only one Balenciaga bag (motorcicle), and never pay attention to other stuff, I do. You can always find a lot of interesting worthy things, if you do not follow the main stream of fashion must haves)) Because if you think about it, many people only go to the shop to buy a bag that Sienna Miller or Victoria Beckham or somebody else hold in their arms.

Yellow for a sunny day.


I love yellow. For me it is the color of joy! And though my friend Marija always tries to ҁonvince me to put on something else, I am sure this color is nesessary for my closet! I still remember how Masha tried to hide my yellow pants 10 years ago! I liked them so much and wore them all the time. I should admit now the pants were a little bit ugly))) I changed my style but color is still one of my favourites))

camel coat...

A little bit of old pieces. It is always a surprise  when you find something very old in the closet and you understand you can still wear it. Do not throw away the stuff. You do not want to wear it today, but in 5 or even 10 years it could be the exact thing you would like to put on! So here I am in an old coat, which is... I don't even want to count its age))) And I am also wearing a 12 year old Givenchy belt. By the way, I do not go to vintage shops. I visited some, but I could never find something what I liked. Though I know people find amazing things there. And I can never get rid of the feeling of old, somebody's clothes, and it is not pleasant at all. I should try the vintage shop again. But for now, I prefer old pieces from my own closet))




I adore bright lipsticks! I have the whole box of lipsticks of all colors! It makes my mood better on a gloomy day, and it makes the look finished, as well as accessories.

Latte

While snow and cold hit Moscow again for 2 days, and I hope the last time this year, I wear my new vest and black leggins with my "early spring" shoes. I love the boots so much. I took them to Paris 2 years ago... actually I wear them quite a long time! And here is the fact about me: I do not throw things away. And sometimes I realize that some pieces are 8 years old! How amazing is that!?

I spent yesterday at work and could not do anything, because I was watching news all the time. I was worried about all my friends who are now in Japan. I am very sorry for Japan and all the people who live there, because I love the country with all my heart.

Last two days made me happy, because I can finally feel spring! Everything is melting and it is sunny. So I decided to put on these light pink outfit. I was thinking about sakura all the time today. Watched the pictures from Tokyo, and I do feel sad that I pass another spring here and not in my "home-town"...
