I am loving the SS09 Chanel collection. There is something quirky, modern and refreshing about it, that is still very Chanel (of course!).

The reinterpreted plaid pattern is a refreshing twist on the classic Chanel prints. The technique involved in creating some of the structures (i.e. above right), is also modern and chic. (more…)

Back on the Paris runway, we have the YSL show. I must admit, when the rest of the fashion world applauded Pilati for his first collections, I was still a bit hesitant about them. It just wasn’t quite the Tom Ford era YSL style, I associated YSL with (that was the era that motivated me to become a hardcore business woman just so I can wear them!). It’s taken a while, but I think I’m finally warming up to Pilati! I am loving his minimalistic, oriental inspired collection. It is simple, wearable but still feminine and elegant.

I am loving the subtle black prints and the more relaxed but still structured silhouette of the collection, which is still very flattering. The whole super cinched, fitted and tailored thing is getting old. This is modern and refreshing.

Yes, I’m lagging a bit even with short outfit posts.  I’m absolutely knackered though working 18 hour days practically, struggling with Parisian taxis (grrr…) and oh yeah, that basic function of eating due to lack of time…oh and I can no longer reveal my good deed story….twas’ a good one though…I’ll just keep that for my good karmic thoughts day….

As you can see, I didn’t feel so great yesterday… (actually feel worse today and the pic will demonstrate I’m sure…).  Outside, the Sophia Kokosalaki show…
