Fall Trend: Checks and Plaids

Word has it that come Autumn, we’ll be seeing lots of checks and plaids milling about. Curiously, I decided to check out some stuff online and see what sort of checks and/or plaids are available.
My search landed me over at Gap and found this Brown Plaid Popover Dress.

Fall Fashion means Scarves!

Mixed Print Chiffon Scarf, Old Navy

One of the fashion accessories that combines style and function is the scarf. I’m thankful for that day when I first discovered the joys of wearing one both for style and function. It sure does help shield off the cold, without bulking up. Well, I appreciated it more when […]

The Red Tights Trend

Undoubtedly, Agyness Deyn is one of the most popular models in the industry to date. I do love her style, seemingly boyish (must be the hair) look, and her very eclectic taste in clothes. I love how pulls of certain combinations that you wouldn’t normally think of putting together. Know what I mean? I love […]

Milan Fall 2008 RTW: Gianfranco Ferré

I’m not done yet. I’m still gobbling up all the Italian fashion that’s showcased in the Milan Fashion Week. Today, it’s the Fall 2008 Ready-to-Wear collection of Gianfranco Ferré.
Clean, soft and ultra chic. I love the fluid lines of the designs (kudos to the team behind the Gianfranco Ferré brand). I’m finding that I’m leaning […]

Milan Fall 2008 RTW: Alberta Ferretti

I have to say, I’m bawled over. I had a hard time choosing from the Fall 2008 Ready-to-Wear collection of Alberta Ferretti cuz I absolutely loved each piece. Everything’s so feminine with simple lines and cuts!
I love the colours (blue, green, purple, magenta, black, grey), though dark, they were definitely not dull. I love […]

Milan Fall 2008 RTW: Francisco Scognamiglio

I really don’t follow Milan Fashion Week but I reckon since I’ve been looking over the runway scoop (New York and London) for the past few weeks, I might as well check them out. I chanced upon Francisco Scognamiglio and decided browse through his Fall 2008 Ready-to-Wear collection.
Apart from the fact that I’ve noticed another […]

London Fall 2008 RTW: Allegra Hicks

Despite the awful looking, er, models (sorry!), I have to say I did enjoy some of the pieces in the Fall 2008 Ready-to-Wear collection of Allegra Hicks. I find most of them very chic and glamourous. They have a vintage feel. I still can’t take my eyes away from the footwear. I found it so […]

London Fall 2008 RTW: Jens Laugesen

I find the Fall 2008 Ready-to-Wear collection of Jens Laugesen hard to describe. It left an impression that it’s too haute couture, hence, made me wonder if women can actually wear them outside special occasions.
I’ve noticed the big shoulders, blazers, heavy goth influence, touch of a romantic feel, brocades, and the colour blue. I particularly […]

Fall 2008 RTW: Naeem Khan

After picking up the name of Naeem Khan a few weeks back (note Alicia Keys’ dress), I had to check out his Fall 2008 Ready-to-Wear collection soon as I came across his name on the list.
I loved the exotic feel of his creation. I noticed how intricate the embellishments are. From beads to fringes to […]

Fall 2008 RTW: Badgley Mischka

I’ve been out for a couple days or so and I’ve fallen behind in featuring my personal picks from the fashion shows I’ve been keeping track of in the New York Fashion Week but I’m going to try to play catch up in the next few days. First off in my comeback is Badgley Mischka […]
