Model Crush: Josephine Skriver

Josephine Skriver really caught my attention when she modeled in the Louis Vuitton S/S 2012 show. Her soft, almost angelic, features really struck me. She's since done tons of shows and seems to slowly be getting more editorial work these days.

She is the face of the new MAC Holiday collection, "Glamordaze", as well as in current Michael Kors, Max & Co. and Valentino campaigns. Looking forward to seeing more from this gorgeous Danish girl.

 

PFW SS '13 Pt 2

Here is Part 2 of my Paris Fashion Week picks. My favourite collections in this post are Barbara Bui, Elie Saab (I'd probably wear one of their dresses if I were say, going to the Oscars) and the leather at Loewe.

Overall, I found all the Spring/Summer 2013 shows very inspiring. There were so many different moods using tons of various trends. I saw some cool use of laser cutting, half-suits, Indian-inspired fabric draping and new ways of covering the body, while exposing it more than ever, with strategic placement of opaque and sheer fabrics.  I am still loving bold colours and white-on-white looks too.

It's such an exciting time in fashion with so much creativity, amazing craftsmanship and a urge for individualism (not just carbon copies, all running around in the same trends). With bloggers, street style photographers, affordable lines, vintage/thrift stores... if feels like the possibilities are endless. We can use the genius of many designers as a jumping board to dress in a way that is all our own!
