leçon dorée: deep dark red
image stockholm streetstyle
as we can see deep dark red in combination
with black is a winner. i also like the idea of
adding a little detail in gold (belt buckle).

white and black

another black and white editorial which catches
easily your attention: the graphic lines chosen for
the background are adding a nice element without
seeking all the attention. also the make-up and hair
are perfectly chosen and executed in my opinion.

for fall 2010 Isabel Marant had also the 50s in mind,
but instead of wide-skirted dresses she concentrated
on a slightly tougher look with fitted jeans rolled up
mid-calf or cropped motorcycle leather pants.
all the looks were rounded up with black and red
pointy-toed pumps which in turn were adorned with
little bows.
the combination of printed pants and a bold striped
sweater is certainly one of my favorites.

a blouse is a blouse
image cedric buchet [tfs]
only writing the sentence “the blouse is back” seems
a little on the ridiculous side since it feels like
announcing the comeback of shoes or underwear.
well, it is what it is: quite a basic with a lot of options
when it comes to its appearance and its styling.
right now it can mostly be seen in white and nude
shades and quite often there is a subtle sheerness
involved. details, yes, but always, always without
going overboard.
what I dare to say is that the white blouse creates
a lot of win-win-situations when it comes to all different
kind of looks since it is almost impossible to look bad
once THE item is thrown into the picture.

bring it back
image jimmy backius [tfs]
as you may have noticed the well groomed gentlemen of mad men
are back, with their neat suits, skinny ties, cigars and tumblers
which are endlessly filled up with amber colored scotch.
and with that we are reminded that a revival of an era is supposed
to be in full bloom this fall since some designers were very probably
very inspired by the atmosphere and aesthetics of the show.
the results may or may not be very convincing (“mindlessly literal”
was the term used by cathy horn) mostly because of the danger
you run to end up looking like a character which missed the plot,
in disguise and not well dressed.
anyhow, the look above is a for me a great example of a wearable
version: the full skirt, the loose shirt with the rolled-up sleeves,
the classic pumps combined with stockings and everything within
a range of different shades of gray.

the clutch

one of the results from the collaboration between
louis vuitton and sofia coppola. it turns out to be
a perfect companion for a simple but elegant
black and white look.
the blue one

it seems impossible to get tired of a well executed blue blouse:
classic collar, white buttons, one pocket, subtle seams.

and what we learned today:
denim plus camel equals a perfect look.

denim shirt. rolled-up sleeves.
an almost inevitable gesture.
