Fashion | Dolce&Gabbana's Gothic Romance #MFW

 

Milan fashion week as really been showcasing some of the most beautiful and amazing designs I have seen for a while, and it's all been very diverse. We've seen Moschino Barbie doll designs to Armani's sleek white and cool toned pieces, now I want to move on to some serious elegant designs, with a slight twist. Flicking through Instagram is where I find my fashion week coverage and today I found these amazing outfits, by the very talented duo Stefano Gabbana and Domenico Dolce, known as Dolce&Gabbana.

I wasn't quite sure what theme they were designing by because I hadn't researched up much but after looking at the designs I thought it quite suited the theme of Gothic Romance. The collection, or shall I say in particular the pieces I've placed above are quite dark and mysterious, yet quite girly and floaty. I love this colour palette I think it all works very well, there's pieces which are entirely black or red, or there's also a mixture of the colour which I really like. The materials also stand out to me, because there's been a lot of sheer, lace and tassels being used, all which I like to see in a collection.

 

 The hair styled I think looks great, it's very sleek which contrasts to the floaty designs, and also the makeup is quite natural yet has the deep plum shade which gives it that gothic look. Over all I love this collection, in terms of it been designs for spring/summer 2015, I think the brighter white tones are more suited, however personally I wear black all year round so it's perfect.



Fashion | Armani's fresh whites #MFW

Giorgio Armani, has been one of the designers to stand out to me at Milan Fashion Week this season. These fresh white and cool tones are amazingly style on sleek, chic silhouettes. I've noticed a lot this season at fashion weeks across the globe that structured piece such as blazers, tops and trousers are really on trend, however Armani has played it differently, although he has the blazers, there extremely floaty, soft pieces which really go well with the colour palette. I am a huge fan of this collection this season.

Fashion | Moschino turns Barbie #MFW

Last year Moschino pulled McDonalds out of the bag which was a huge craze with many a-listers such as Rita Ora, Katy Perry, and the fashionista which is Anna Dello Russo, which means it must of been something special. I have to admit though it was a fun idea to come up with, not a lot of designers would of got the coverage Moschino did. Their quilted bags were quite special I thought they were a limited edition of Chanel or a big mac and chips were going to be pulled out, but that wouldn't of been very professional.

 

Anyhow enough of what was showcased last time, it's about time I get onto what happened this time at Italy's renowned Milan fashion week. Moschino hit the craze off again with Barbie. Yes I definitely said Barbie. However crazy it is, I was so excited looking at the designs, who cannot wait to see Anna Dello Russo walking round in a pink, PVC two piece. Although I don't think we'll see that, would be pretty cool though. As pink would probably the most expected colour to see in a Barbie collection, there was an array on different colours, blues, yellows, whites etc. Absolutely wonderful. I'm just looking forward to seeing this collection on the streets.

Fashion | ASOS Want List

So yes I may just have too many items on my want list but for some odd reason I am wanting everything, or mostly everything I set my eyes on. It's probably due to my lack of high street shopping adventures, which is way over due. I usually prefer to actually go to the stores in person because then I can try things on and feel the materials, however weird that sounds yes I like to feel the materials, however ASOS is the only online website I actually have a good connection with. It's free delivery which I think pulls me in the most and they have tons of different designers and of course their own brand which is super affordable.

 

As you've probably noticed the majority of all items above are verging on the autumn/winter vibes. Who else is looking so totally forward to fur coats, chunky boots and all that jazz? I know I am. I try tell myself summer is my season with pretty floral dressers, and delicate little sandals but I always end up wearing the colour black and lots of leather so winter in my season, and ASOS do some good stuff at the moment everyone, so strut your butts onto the ASOS.com page. My favourite and most wanted items above would be the fluffy faux fur black coat, which are in stores everywhere and also the black duster coat because they are super stylish and also everywhere on the high street and last but not least the Miista Cecili buckle cut out ankle boots. I absolutely love chunky buckle boots so they are right up my street, a little on the pricey side however.

Fashion | Bora Aksu #LFW

As some of you may know, if you have read previous posts is that I worked backstage at London Fashion Week for Bora Aksu, I was a dresser so I was very hands on with the clothing. Usually I would relate Fashion Week with really over the top "who would wear that" clothing, however I think it's all changed, because I would wear everything Bora had designed. His designers were perfection. The two collections, one which was very girly, soft light pieces which were white and light toned dusky pink, and the second collection also white but with blue, however more structured pieces rather than floaty. Also the outfits were topped of with the most amazing jewelled pieces. Makeup and hair was super simple, to make sure all eyes were on the designs. To hear about my experience of working backstage I will link it just below.

Photography | the city.

I absolutely love visiting Primrose Hill, and I live fairly near to it, so it's usually my summer destination, I even go there in the evenings to sit on the hill and stare at the beautiful view that is the lit up London city, its breath taking , and I think everyone should witness it. So I didn't think there was any better place to do another set of photos than Primrose Hill, of course, although it was day time it was still beautiful. This wasn't exactly a planned shoot, I just decided to take my camera out with me and my beautiful friend let me take some snaps of her. In the editing process of this shoot I was set on having them black and white, in colour they were amazing because she had a bright red top which contrasted with the black shinny, disco pants but black and white looked a lot better especially because the sky was grey that day. I have a lot more shoots to show you soon, which this same beautiful model, so come back to see more.
