House of Holland this season was all daring print combinations and beautiful use of sheers. I love the macro-leopard (or cow?) print, ombres, and those amazing pastel colour-blocked sheer collared shirts. And what a brilliant way to use python print! The bleached denim looks like clouds in a very blue sky, and I love his clever take on tartan. I’m hoping to get my hands on those faux snake suspenders.

I was very surprised by Jean-Charles de Castelbajac this season….although there were some of his trademark over-the-top cartoony pieces, such as the Mickey Mouse dress and the grid coat, this collection seemed a lot more somber than he is known for. I was a bit disappointed that his collection was less fun and zany than usual, but I think he does serious well; that little star and cloud dress with the sheer is beautiful, as were all of his wonderful coats and jackets and armour-inspired pieces. I’m just really hoping that this isn’t a permanent change of focus for him, because he is one of the rare designers who infuses a genuine sense of fun and playfulness in his work.

Quentin Jones directed this delightful, Dada-esque mixed media fashion film for VogueTV, featuring ballet dancer Emma Chadwick in Chanel SS11. It’s very refreshing to see a cheerful fashion film that incorporates animation and collage video techniques and still shows off the clothes in a creative way. Watch “Dancing Chanel” below;

I love these shirts by Elena Gallen. Her SS2006 collection “Freakshow” features freakish Disney characters like a bearded-lady Snow White and two-headed Bambi. “Irony and minimalism in huge colorful screenprinted basic white t-shirts”.
She also did a pretty cool motion graphics fashion film with Tom Geraedts for her SS2010 collection “Sacred Geometry”;

My friend has been obsessing over these Fendi SS11 glasses for weeks, she’s starting to rub off on me…I love the green ones!
Also, is it just me or does that last model look EXACTLY like Demi Moore?

Another black and white/creepy dancing/edgy electro music/mirror effect/wind machine/boobs/slow-motion video lookbook for you. I have to admit, this one is pretty sick though…and I can’t help but love Gareth Pugh and pretty much everything that comes out of SHOWstudio.
It’s a much longer fashion film than we are used to seeing…did you watch the whole thing or lose interest? Any thoughts? I’m dead curious about that crazy pillow cape/dress at around 8 minutes…and the Givenchy-esque geometric prints.

Today I went to my first ever fashion show, Kenzo menswear in Paris. It was such an amazing experience…I’ll post more about the collection later because right now I’m a bit starstruck. I got to meet the amazing fashion blogger BryanBoy, who we interviewed for our new Cohesive TV show, Chic Equipe. Check out my blog for Chic Equipe here for more about Kenzo and what I’ve been working on lately!
My dress is by Cop-Copine and the jacket is H&M.

What is my obsession with shirts that have the sides cut out? I feel like 50% of my posts are about this kind of shape or leopard print. At least I’m not hard to shop for, ha!
This top is so amazing. It’s simple, clever, and perfect for layering, a hooded tunic with a twist :) I found it at Bona Drag.
*Sigh* One day, you will be mine, twisty hooded side-boob-exposing tunic. Oh yes, you will be.
