Paris Fashion Week: Barbara Bui

Fashion designer Barbara Bui is one of the many reasons I love fashion. She’s kind of like me! Starting a line in 1987 after coming from the literary world (barbarabui.com) …um hello…that’s me (almost!) I’ve always loved fashion and starting this blog after college has been so much fun! Not the typical office setting with degree plaques on the wall but I love it. Designing isn’t in my near future but who knows! It’s always fun to see where life takes you. By the way, Bui also designs amazing clothes, just look at a few faves from the clean lines and ultimate chic fall/winter collection.

The coat: I need. Lace pants: Yes. Cropped Everything: If you got it, flaunt it.

Any designer that wears black leather pants and wedge sneakers can do no wrong in my book.

Lanvin – Fall/Winter 2013

Not many words are needed when it comes to certain designers. Lanvin is definitely one of them. Insert me “cutting to the chase.”

Alexis Mabille – Fall Winter 2013

Alexis Mabille

Just let me get his entire collection in my size, please! So far we’re learning that a pant suit will be absolutely necessary when the fall season arrives. I’m totally cool with idea as long as it’s from Alexis Mabille! If you’ve been paying attention, this is the same designer who produced the gown that Zoe Saldana wore to the Oscars just a few days ago. Anywho, color blocked dresses, harem pants, animal prints and bows…all you need to know!

The details

Sleek side parts, big satin bows and that perfect stained lip! Oh and gorgeous models…

Bonjour amis! Oui oui!

Of course we’re in the city of love and one of the fashion capitals of all things haute couture. That’s right it’s Paris baby! As with all the past fashion weeks, I’ve virtually “jet set” across the globe to every runway show. Once my virtual G5 lands at the airport I’m busy uploading wonderful pics of my favorite looks from a variety of designer collections. First up for our starry eyes are Alexis Mabille and Mugler. Hope you enjoy the fascinating faves!

Milan Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2013: Gucci

Let the show begin! Milano Moda Donna if you’re good with the language of Italy of course. If you’re not, don’t fret it translates into Milan Fashion Woman (that’s what Google Translate tells me) or loosely and much easier Milan Women’s Fashion.

Now, I feel like I should give you some sort of warning, perhaps. Let’s preface this post with…

This is Gucci. We like Gucci. I love Gucci. Gucci looks good. There’s a lot of pictures from the Gucci show below.

Basically my dear sweet fashionistas, I went through the pages of shots from the Gucci Women’s Autumn/Winter 2013 runway show and I just couldn’t help myself! Needless to say, someone got a little carried away! That just means there’s more for you to look at! Enjoy several of my faves from the collection ladies and gents!

There’s a slit/split in a skirt and then there’s THIS

THIS made my jaw drop it’s so sexy!

The Bags

Oh the bags!

Yep! Speechless!

London Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2013: Burberry

A runway show from Burberry never ceases to amaze me. Seriously, for the few years, I’ve watched each show in awe! How can a person like and want every single thing that comes down the runway?! Except for maybe three things, I could honestly purchase two of everything…if I had the money to do so of course. Pity.

While we’re on the subject of money, here are a few of the famous front row faces of the show.

From left to right: Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Freida Pinto, Kate Beckinsale, Tinie Tempah and Rita Ora.

The Burberry Prorsum Autumn/Fall & Winter show for 2013 was a collection that tugged at the heart strings. I mean that both literally and figuratively. The collection featured fabrics of gold and hearts while the song “Happy Together” (imagine me and you) played in the background. Oh yea, speaking of music…live band, singer Tom Odell, bass player AND choir played as the showed winded down.

15 minutes of love… Enjoy the show!

Grommets/eyelets, hearts, gold, leather, fringe and animal print! What’s NOT to like about this collection?! Ok, I may be a tad bit overzealous, that’s only because when I’m bored, I tend to doodle lots and lots of hearts! Sooo yea, that could be it! Let’s take a look at my favorite of favorites from the collection…

The Bags

Are you in love yet?

London Fashion Week F/W 2013: Daks

Taking a trip across the pond as fashion week(s) continues!

There’s just something about Daks that makes me want to walk around the city and hail cabs all day! Well, maybe, hop on one of those infamous red buses in London! The Fall/Winter 2013 collection looks so effortlessly city chic it’s sickening! I’m having a serious problem with these cropped trenches NOT being in my closet right now! Not to mention, that they don’t come in a size for my curves! Normally, I’m not too obsessed about clothes in my size because I always find a way or style that fits the look I’m going for perfectly! Plus, I’m a fashion slave…I love it all no matter the size. (photos courtesy of Getty Images)

Enough about me, let’s see the clothes!

Hmm…I’ve never been a floral print type of girl, til NOW!

The Details

See what I mean.

London F/W 2013: Vivienne Westwood Red Label

Our lady of fashion has done it again. Shocked us all with her creativity and with the many ways she can think outside of the box. I don’t think that phrase has ever meant more than right now.

First, let’s enjoy the abstract wildness that is the make-up for the Red Label show.
What do you think?

In an interview for The Daily Mail UK, Westwood was asked about what she thought of her collection:

“I thought it was brilliant and I just loved the combination of the colors the tights, the clothes the shoes, the bags, the tailoring.I just wanted absolutely every single piece, which is very rare for me. I just loved this collection. I thought it was fabulous.”
