NYFW continues being one of the most amazing fashion weeks out there, always slaying with the contemporary iconic designer brands and their innovative creativity that makes everyone´s jaws fall onto the ground; one of the most appropiate examples is, not surprisingly, the one and only Alexander Wang.
Wang, the very well- known Californian and former creative director of Balenciaga, is one of my top inspirations for both fashion and my everyday life at home- he is one of those people who spend the ninety nine per cent of the day with a smile on their faces, and in each of his shows he just looks like Heidi in the field when he comes out in the end. How can someone not like such a cheerful man?
The Californian designer, as usually, has experimented different ways of wearing our everyday clothes but with a noticeable change: you will understand what I mean after looking at his show´s pictures.
What about the extremely short shorts with some kind of striped boxers underneath them? (Note that this is very practical as today´s shorts are made to show three quarters of girls´ butts, and it´s not fun for some of us) Or what about the little leather patches that look like triangles, circles, etc? (It makes the outfit much more playful and fun)
Wang´s creativity is one of the funnest I have ever laid my eyes on. He always comes with this crazy but modern ideas that are kind of revolutionary, and his stuff is usually wearable in the everyday life, and that´s something that I love about him.
When it comes to colours, I love how he uses such bright and strong colours like red, electric blue, etc on the one hand, making the runway outfits attract your eyesight right into those innovative outfits, and then right after his models come with a chic monochrome or all-grey outfit and it makes the sense of the show change noticeably. Both ways, he makes my jaw drop until reaching the centre of the Earth.
Please, a round of applause for one of this century´s fashion gods, Alexander Wang!
New York Fashion Week has arrived guys! (It also has school, but we can leave that aside) Now that the cold is about to knock our doors and our time for scarves and cozy jumpers and coats is around the corner, we are going to dream about the fresh silky camis and mini skirts with no need of tights.
And it seems that Sir Tisci has that plan in mind- his new collection has left me totally speechless. Let´s say that this Givenchy SS 16 collection is my all-time favourite until now, and there are still quite a few shows during this amazingly exciting week.
There are four words that I can find more accurate than other words and perfect for my perspective on this collection: silk, embroidery, see-through, monochrome. Givenchy is known for being a modern and elegant-fun kind of brand, which makes it one of the most attractive designer brands of these years.
This time, Ricardo has used, once again, the simplicity along with silky and see-through clothing to catch bloggers´ eyes; not only theirs, but the whole fashion worlds´ ones. The elegant finish of embroidered ends in tops or the fully-embroidered dresses make the woman feel sexy, minimalist and smart-dressed without trying too hard.
The iconic one-colour outfits are always a go-to for both your everyday lives or special events. A black see-through top combined with silky pants and a simple blazer of the same colour, or a white fully embroidered dress with a pair of white sandals and natural-look makeup. Tisci doesn´t seem to be one of those people who think too much about their designs, they just do it naturally; whatever that comes to their minds. And that´s how Givenchy never fails to impress everyone with a simplicity that is hard to see in others.

We have already started the month of September, which means that next week I will officially be attending school once again, and in a month or so the 2015 fall season will finally start.
I think fall is one of the greatest season out of the four of them, as it gets a bit chilly (this way it isn´t too hot) but it isn´t really cold either, so you are okay with a jumper and in no need of a big coat.
That´s why I thought of a simple but impossible-to-fail-while-wearing-this outfit, which consists of a cream turtleneck, black skinny bottoms, heeled sandals and my new Longchamp bag.
A pretty serious outfit if you wear it with a black clutch, or even perfect for a more informal little party with your friends- and without trying too much!
