Saint Laurent Fall RTW 2014 at Paris Fashion Week

French designer Hedi Slimane has proven his talent as the creative director of Yves Saint Laurent and he surely doesn't fail to inspire me. 

This collection harks back to the 1960s, pairing kitsch elements and a preppy chic class with a sprinkle of glam rock. I can imagine Brigitte Bardot, Jane Birkin and Anna Karina wearing those outfits if they were dating The Rolling Stones. I am certainly charmed by the French New Wave cinema vibe and naturally, those glitter mary janes went straight to my neverending wishlist. The models look particularly cool with the black eye make-up and colossal lashes. For some reason, some of the garments really remind me of Anna Sui - I guess that's why I'm loving this collection so much.

NYFW: Zana Bayne FW 2014 - 'The Ornamentalist Collection'

I'm sharing Zana Bayne's first runway show at New York Fashion Week. Such a fierce debut! This collection featured alluring lingerie paired with tassels, leg wraps, sheer gloves, belt straps... and of course, all things leather! And when there's leather involved, I'm in! Okay, some of the pieces were a bit Lady Gaga-ish for my personal taste, but overall I liked everything about this collection: the BDSM feel, the dominatrix style, the stockings, the austere cut... It all remind me of a version of the red light district of Sin City, only set in the 1980s with a dark/goth touch.

NYFW Fall 2014: WILDFOX Couture Sense & Eccentricity

WILDFOX Creative Director Kimberley Gordon presented the label's Fall 2014 collection, Sense & Eccentricity, inspired by "Jane Austen's fantasy world, England ans sisters". This is the very first time Wildfox Couture debuts a collection in New York Fashion Week and the show was clearly British-inspired and also influenced by references such as romantic English Literature, countryside romance, British Invasion and grunge-styled street urchins. This line had me at the bohemian florals, the marshmallow pastels, the cupcake hues, the feminine yet edgy details and, of course, the flowy loungewear combined with standout boots stuffed with flowers.
Fabrics like denim, cotton, toile and slouchy knit bond with fun, tastefully juvenile and playful elements, resulting into an effortlessly chic, romance themed range. All the looks are carefree and laid-back, suitable for a relaxed weekend at home or a walk in the meadow. Youthful layered pieces and airy silhouettes paired with intimates create the perfect outfit for an overcast Sunday afternoon spent in the garden with your hangover, cozy tea time with a boozy twist or a slumber party.

Models looked healthy and pretty, displaying loose, beachy hair, adorned with flower crowns and beanies. I also noticed their soft and adorably rose-tinted make-up, with pink cheeks for a lovely daisy-fresh look, saluting the good old "keep it simple" and "less is more".

The Sense & Eccentricity collection will be available online in July. Prices are not very wallet-friendly though - expect them to range from $28 to $288. Personally, I absolutely love the pink "I Need A Drink" statement sweater - a tribute to happy hour, perhaps?
