Peacock

"The A.W.A.K.E. woman is preppy, quirky, elegant, simple, dreamy, and strong; but also fragile and sexy—but in a weird Japanese way (laughing). She is intelligent, modest, perceptive, sensitive, and chilled, but secretly passionate, sincere and honest, chic and sharp, and busy. Clothes are not important to her—beauty and effortlessness are." - Natalia Alaverdian  

This was a very interesting collection, its not the most flattering or sexy but is really intriguing.

I was captivated by the simplicity, but range in dramatic silhouettes, colors and uses of texture A.W.A.K.E. brought to the table.

Stylist Natalia Alvaerdian started A.W.A.K.E. WHICH STANDS FOR (ALL WONDERFUL ADVENTURES KINDLE ENTHUSIASM) in 2012 and has already taken over the fashion world.  

Alvaerdian is the type of designer who loves using animals for inspiration. Her first ever collection she leaned toward Giraffes today she used a Peacock as her muse. (As you can see with the Peacock faux Feather Heels, coat and Peacock Blue inspiration which I am totally obsessed with!) 

Its so beautiful in a non traditional way. Im very interested/excited to see her future collectionS!

Tasteful, Elegant, and Cozy

"One of the reasons why I try to use fabrics and cuts that don't go out of fashion is because I like the idea of women buying the clothes and then...I don't know what the word is...cherish sounds over-emotional for a relationship with a piece of clothing...but for a woman to feel proud, satisfied, comfortable and powerful in them, to wear them and get on with their lives." - Phoebe Philo

I am blown away by Celine's Fall 2013 Collection!

At this show guests were given a trend book when they entered the space. Inside were images of fluff, clouds, yarn, paintings from the 15th century, and pictures of statues derrières. These were Pheobe Philo's clues for her Fall collection.  

Not only is Philo very talented, but her eye for details are amazing. Every piece is thought out, clean and crisp. Her fabric choices, wool, cotton, mink and check tweeds, left me watching this show in awe. Overall it was Elegant, but Minimal. Modern, but Retro. Over sized, but sexy. Everything a successful Collection should Have!   

Fenghuang

"Masaya Kushino", is known for his very innovative, bold, and dramatic style.

I picked Christian Dada's fall 2013 collection, in honor of Halloween for its dark/goth elements. 

Designer Masanori Morikawa partnered up with Lady Gagas favorite shoe designer Masaya Kushino for this collection. 

Masanori took his theme from the mythical bird Fenghuang, from which the idea of the Phoenix was born. Masaya Kushino took the bird theme literally, and added feathers to his footwear. The mixture of fur, leather and the lightness of the feathers made me fall head over heels with his shoes. 

The styling is amazing, i love the way he added an element of embroidery to his pieces to soften them up. I think the real appeal of Christian Dada comes from the fact that he makes High Fashion pieces, with a street wear feel.

Love, Love, Love!

Jungle Collage

What is your source of inspiration?

"Mixture of various images from all over the place." -Toshikazu Iwaya

Toshikazu Iwaya gave us an edgy ready to wear show in Tokyo for DressCamp's 2013-2014 Fall/Winter collection. 

At first i wasn't sure how much i liked this collection as a whole, because it has so much going on. But after stopping and reviewing the theme, i fell in love! 

The theme of this collection was "Jungle Collage!" The loud prints, animal patterns, and neon colors brought this theme to life. There are a lot of great designs, ensembles and pieces in this show. What i love most is the details. Everything was thought out and well put together. The textures and patterns bring the Jungle. The oversized outerwear, layers, and the simple fact that nothing completely goes together bring out the Collage. 

I really enjoyed this show, i love when a designer has a theme and really brings that to life.  

( Ps: i want this menswear collection so Bad!!! Its Amazing)
