No Céline

Celine fall 13-14, images style.com

If you are waiting for images from Phoebe Philo’s Resort 2014 collection to drop at style.com or other sites then please don’t hold your breath. According to WWD the Céline house has decided to “do-a-Tom Ford” and keep images of the new collection under wrap for now. And we may all wonder why, or perhaps not (read Zara?).

Meanwhile, we’ve always the fall collection to dream about, the pale knee length skirts, voluminous tops and checked coats for instance, meow…

Isabel Marant + H&M

Image H&M

Ok, so it is, Isabel Marant for H&M is confirmed the latest collaboration out there. Not really sure if I’m feeling much to be honest, it feels like we’ve seen Marant’ish stuff on the highstreet already, but  you can be sure of a digital explosion worldwide of product images until the collection will launch 14th of November.

del Rio London

Searching for a super comfortable, glam, yet understated sandal with functionality, then look no further, and look up delRioLondon. These are unisex slippers with a Spanish heritage and come in all sorts of leather, fabrics and colours (pony hair, leopard anyone?). Mine are SS14 and special editions in vintage Chanel fabric and I absolutely love them!

If interested you’ll find some selected SS13 models on sales right now, leopard, pony hair and Ibiza.

Balenciaga Resort 2014

So far I’ve loved “Alexander Wang’s Balenciaga”, and he certainly embraces the heritage of Christobal, continuing the voluminous shapes and lines we all love, perhaps with a softer touch in the Resort 2014 collection, still very Balenciaga.

Hofmann A/W 13-14

I’m a devoted fan of Hofmann Copenhagen’s esthetique, and the A/W collection is better than ever before (hello there jumpsuits!). Danish designer behind the label, Heidi Hofmann, who’s also a good friend of mine, launched her webshop this spring, really worth checking out!

Unique Pre-Fall

If you’re a fan like me of Topshop’s Unique line then you’re probably too will welcome the launch of Unique’s first pre-fall and resort collections. Personally I tend to like capsule collections more than the mains and judging by what I’ve seen it looks quite promising in this case too. The pre-fall 2013 collection which include silky tailored pieces and accessories (with a Celine’ish feel) lands in stores and online today.

I’m a huge fan of my friend and talented designer Noor Fares fierce fine jewellery, and her hot galactic A/W collection includes loads of mouth watering pieces with the perfect balance of lines, beauty and rawness, not to mention a few juicy carats of diamonds(!). If you got some deep pockets and want to lay your hands on any of these exclusive beauties you can pre-order her A/W 2013 collection here right now until 26th of April.

Stella McCartney A/W 13-14

I’ve had a closer look on Stella McCartney’s A/W 2013 collection which is one of my favourites for fall. Key pieces are the tartan coats and knitwear but also boy’ish pinstripes, coats(!), gorgeous lace and silk pieces and girly floppy dresses, like this cutie above.

Tod’s Timeless Icons

Dong Jie and Tod’s new creative director, Alessandra Facchinetti

If I wasn’t home in London right now waiting impatiently for this baby to arrive(!) I would have been in Milan with my Tod’s girls Martha, Carolina and Noor for the book launch of Timeless Icon, and also had the chance to meet Tod’s new creative director (announced this week), former creative director at Valentino, Alessandra Facchinetti.
Wishing I was with you beautiful bright ladies, but next time I will for sure!

Note the smashing python shoulder bags, they are my favourite pieces in Tod’s SS13 collection.

 Martha Ward, Carolina Gonzalez Bunster (founder of the Walkabout Foundation) and fine jewellery designer Noor Fares.

Norwegian designer Peter Dundas at Emilio Pucci, served refreshing 70′s vibes yesterday in Milan, and rocked everything up a little from what we’ve been seeing lately. The bangs(!!), hotpants, prints, capes, furs, mini dresses and glamour bohoness was all there, and these thigh high leather boots(!), olalla!

Fall 2013 from NY

 Proenza Schouler

Altuzarra

Tibi

3.1 Phillip Lim

Victoria BeckhamAll images style.com

Fashion weeks have already moved on from London to Milan, but except for Alexander Wang’s wonderful “furry collection”, here are some of my other favourite looks and pieces from NY’s fall collections presented last week. If these collections are anything to go by as for trending directions for fall 2013, then we can safely include black and white looks, leather and fur pieces in the trend forecast for now.

LOVE
- Proenza Schouler’s bulky contrasting silhouettes and wowen leather pieces
- Altuzarra’s monochrome superhot(!) body slinky dresses and leather pieces.
- Tibi’s wearable snugging pieces and I need those thigh high leather boots in my life(!)
- Phillip Lim’s jackets and cool layered silhouettes, and again I am reminded that a pair of round sunnies are still missing in my wardrobe.
- Victoria Beckham, sophisticated with a masculine touch, pencil lengths with bulky tops, and that gorgeous checked coat, please send my way!

Except for classic pointy pumps and sling backs (my favourites!) are sort of every-season-trends, also trending this spring are cut-outs and gladiator styles as seen at Altuzarra, Alexander Wang, Proenza Schouler and Isabel Marant. PVC details and clear surfaces on everything from soles, heels and straps as seen at Chanel, Valentino, Celine, Stella McCartney and Givenchy, are also here to stay this coming spring and summer.
