Louis Vuitton Spring/Summer 2014

Wasn't lying when I said Kim Jones was the man. That cafe colored anorak is sicker than sick.

Paris Fashion Week Favs FW 2013: Part One

Givenchy // Ricardo Tisci is just one of those designers who's just oh so gangsta in what he does it's almost always flawless. Does he ever get it wrong? With his cult following behind him including Ciara, Kanye West, Liv Tyler, Jessica Chastain, and many more, the man behind the fashion house continues to make a strong statement with his FW 13 collection. With sweaters in various mediums from embellished, printed, to sheer, Tisci sent out an array styled with show stopping skirts that made each look more and more drool worthy. I thought the Bambi printed tops were absolutely delightful and a fun lighthearted twist to the dark colored palette of the collection. J'adore!



Viktor & Rolf // I never really saw a collection by V&R that I really liked, because I always thought they were avant garde in a more artistic way than it ever being beautiful in a wearable sense. Then they sent down their FW13 collection and I thought it was the perfect balance between their artistic aesthetic and wearability. While no one can ever go wrong with a black and white scheme, I thought their play on pleats, bows, leather, and prints were fresh, fun, and chic. What do you guys think?



Valentino // Absolutely beautiful. A collection that was purely and absolutely beautiful from start to end. Each ensemble was more elegant than the next, from reds to blues, nudes to blacks, the collection was minimally extravagant but extraordinarily luxurious. I thought the fine China print was a great touch to the collection. Kudos to Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pier Paolo Piccioli for a job well done!



Emilio Pucci // I may be biased because of my undying crush on Peter Dundas, but I did thoroughly enjoy his FW 13 collection that was just as sexy as his last. From the thigh boots to the bangin' mini dresses, I literally wanted to rock and roll, which essentially is the DNA for the Pucci woman. A collection for any woman with attitude for sure.



Lanvin // I will always be a huge fan of Alber and I'm pretty positive if I was a woman, I'd be dressing in Lanvin all the time just like my red carpet fav, Emma Stone. I love how simple his silhouettes can be yet how potentially dramatic it can also be given the amazing attention to detail, play on shapes and proportion, and let's not forget the statement jewels. This season, Alber played with tiered ruffles of chiffon, fur stoles, embellished and printed florals, and statement word necklaces for a little twist of fun. I thought the overall collection was fun, flirty, chic, and classic Lanvin.

Louis Vuitton // From the leopard printed coats to the color scheme, Louis Vuitton's menswear designer, Kim Jones, sent one hell of a collection down the runway last week. Leather will be a HUGE trend come FW 13 from pants to sleeve details, it's everywhere. It was very much present in this collection, but my favorite leather piece is hands down that coat. Absolutely beautiful.



Viktor and Rolf // I've never really been a fan of V&R, but I will say that I enjoyed their FW 13 collection. From the quirky prints to the thick frames, I saw myself wearing a lot of it. I thought the ensembles were young, clean, smart, and modern in terms of the fabrics and cuts. I enjoyed how contemporary the collection was, yet it wasn't boring or anything I haven't seen, I suppose it was fresh.



3.1 Phillip Lim // The wardrobe meant for all the cool boys; a collection that basically screamed street wear chic. I loved the play on mixed fabrics and patches. The thick zippered boots accented the the ensembles perfectly, but my favorite look from the collection was that 90's double breasted suit. AMAZING.



Valentino // I'm always excited to see what Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pier Paolo Piccioli will present during their menswear collection for the house of Valentino, because in a way, I feel like the clothes and essence of their menswear resonates with my true style. I'm very simple and clean cut when it comes to dressing, and I find the same goes for Valentino. If only my wardrobe consisted some of these pieces... for instance I'm mad for those plaid looks. I loved the green plaid they showcased along with all their leather coats. LEATHER!



Acne // These are my favorite looks from Acne's FW 13 collection. The entire head to toe looks are pure perfection in my opinion. Fun, quirky, and classic. You can't go wrong with that combination. I think I'm starting to label everything as fun, quirky and classic...oh well. I love how the neck scarf adds to the looks, something so simple and subtle, yet makes all the difference no? I scored a $35 Acne cardigan the other day, best find so far to date.



Junya Watanabe // I purchased my first Watanabe piece last fall and it's by far one of the best quality pieces in my closet. If there's one thing I love about Watanabe, it's the attention to detail and quality. The construction is OUT OF THIS WORLD, and I will always respect a designer who's work is incredibly detail oriented. While this collection is classic workman inspired, I can tell that the ensembles are impeccably well designed with the best of fabrics and construction. I loved the puffer toggle coat and the all the suits. GIMMIE!
