A|W 2015 Lookbook: Beautiful Blacks

A|W 2015 Lookbook: Beautiful Blacks

Read more...

The best thing about September might be that you can indulge and dream about all the new season keypieces while it’s still warm, and you don’t have to bother how the hell you should pull off that sheer dress when it’s actually -5 degrees. I also always (!) kinda fall into a sort of color frenzy (The new red! The bright blue! The “why not” green!), secretly knowing that after a month of trying hard to twerk all that perky hues my mind (together with extremely slowed down bodily functions due to the COLD!!!) settles in a sort of achondroplasia (read: fashion hibernation) as well.

From that moment on, black will dominate my wardrobe, and socks and boots will become a staple while I’m already dreaming about Spring (and new sandals) yet to arrive. So why not safe all the hassle and focus on BLACK from the very beginning, even better when all the delicious trends come in a desaturated version anyway. Regardless the season: black will always stay the new pink, and to sport a little gothic chic this winter is anything but depressing (or in my case: laziness). Hope you have fun with my Lookbook!

When Anne Hathaway stepped out of her limo on December 10th, she sported two upcoming trends of 2013: a neat pixie and gladiator heels. I won't discuss the haircut as it's not sculpted hair we're talking (note: wearing undergarments to a premiere is generally a good idea) - it's the armour on her legs we need to have a word over.

Totally get that modern Panem et circenses (aka red carpet and cameras) require some kind of "protecting gear", but the last time I saw braces like that I was 14 and they were on my teeth. Jennifer Lopez wore the same kind on the cover of Harper's Bazaar, and of course Russell Crowe in "Gladiator" (Tom Ford, where were you then?) but still can't help it. N.O.T. F.L.A.T.T.E.R.I.N.G. Only positive I can think about, is the extra space to keep cab fare (some of us have to drive taxi not limo), cell phone, keys, lipstick and the stolen leftovers from a really posh buffet in extra provided leather grid space. Clutches nowadays are sooooo small....

Maybe it's not a coincidence that Anne wore them to attend "Les Misérables" (nomen est omen after all) and actually totally get that she didn't put on any underwear. Those heels definitely call for some distraction. A pixie for example.

Tim Walker’s Nightmare

Tim Walker’s Nightmare

Tim Walker has always been one of my favorite photographers and since I couldn’t sleep yesterday (blame it on the excitement of my recent Net-A-Porter purchase) I was browsing his work online. Somehow dozing off over the magical, dreamy work he’s created, sucked into flower fields, cupcake trees and balloon-filled huge ceilings, I am not surprised when I feel a tap on my shoulder. It’s Coco Rocha dressed up as Donnie Darko whispering: you should come to our room, we have a party going on. Intrigued, I follow her through a small corridor with open doors, allowing me to peek into the small rooms as we pass.
I spot Mozart in one, singing along to piano tunes (he is wearing next season Louis Vuitton, the bastard) and Tom Ford in another (he is wearing high heels: no surprise). Coco, sporting a dream of pinkish couture, leads me to another tiny room, that I reckon is the 7 1/2 floor from Being John Malkovich, where Tom Robbins greets us with the words: “It’s never too late to have a happy childhood!”

Someone hands me a bunch of carrots to use as a microfon for a karaoke session, and before I know it I am dancing on a small French bed with Coco, Tom (one), Tom (two) and Amadeus, all wearing animal masks to “I believe I can fly”. If this is Eyes Wide Shut, I so don’t want to open them ever again.

Am in the middle of a pillow fight with everybody, giggling like little children, when I wake up, head on keyboard and a feather boa around my neck.
This is either Tim Walker’s nightmare, or I so shouldn’t stop drinking.
