R as Red...

Today, I found that the fashion illustration I drawn many years ago. It made me think of Red color...

Many fashion elites believed that Red color will be back and hit SS2012 collections next year. I love this idea because Red color will make pavement more vivid and lively, just like in this picture

I spot this woman during fashion week SS2012 

...As Bill Blass said: "When in doubt, wear red"... since red is the cure of all sadness

And red color is the sign of the emergence of sweetest moments, just like this song

Lady In Red - Chris de Burgh

He must tell her that : "I never will forget the way you look tonight. The lady in red"...  this must be an unforgettable moment in her life...

Have a nice everybody

Paris fashion week 2012 most interesting looks (part 1)

I did write reviews on some fashion shows such as: Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Chloe , Tsumori Chisato, Vivienne Westwood, Manish Arora , Carven , and Limi Feu and Moon Young Hee 

I'm sure that all those brands that I didn't mention above deserved a separate review... However, I want to make it succinct this time. In this part, I just pick looks in same category: geometric, tough, voluminous, and futuristic style. 

Balenciaga: 

This fashion show was interesting with the brouhaha story of broken bench which sent all the fashion-elites standing up with there gigantic high-heels.
Jean jackets inspired spongy color-blocked numbers with shoulders as exaggerated as the short shorts paired with them were small.Ghesquière really pushed the silhouette with the dresses at the end of the show. Patchworked from archival black and white prints or panels of tan and black

Paco Rabanne 

Manish Arora was up for helming Paco Rabanne from the first look out. No single square of silvery painted python is the same shape as the next. The silhouette actually recalled Mugler, the Thierry variety.

Viktor&Rolf 

Dolls' clothes informed the girlish silhouettes, the stiff nature of the fabrics, the oversize lace prints, and the blown-up proportions of the stitching that held the clothes together

Givenchy 

Jackets that were sharp and soft at the same time, with strong, confident shoulders, and, for contrast, suggestive, undulating lapels and come-hither peplums trimmed not in leather but eel skin, shark, or stingray. Speaking of exotic materials, the jackets themselves weren't exactly cut from workaday fabrics. Chiffon sequins and lasered leather cutouts recalled the most stunning creations in his July couture show.

Alexander Mcqueen 

Sarah Burton's were goddesses. She based her collection on the three Gs: Grès for the pleating and draping, Gaudí for the architecture, and Gaia for the sense of all-encompassing oceanic life that infused the clothes, like the outfits composed of coral or shells.

 

Balmain 

there was a new softness to a wallpaper-floral motif rendered in pastel silk embroidery on an hourglass dress, one that was echoed in the baby blue and white print of the opening trousers

Rich Owens 

Issey Miyake

This was the first collection for Yoshiyuki Miyamae, the designer who has taken creative control at Issey Miyake after ten years working in the design studio. Critics did not give good reviews for this collection, however, I think that this collection is a kind of breakthrough of this brand. I love the color and the simple concept conveyed by the show: Body-consciousness 

Paris Fashion week day 1 and 2 : Style revives the pavement

Receive Limi Feu's and Moon Young Hee's invitations just 1 day before J-Time uhmm, however, I was really excited because I thought that my applications were not good enough ^~^. F for Fortunate haha

Moon Young Hee's show invitation was simply simple just as her collection. To be honest, I was not impressed by her designs and it was less than what I expected from her show. Therefore, I'm not convinced. The materials is not innovative. Even though she tried to deal with geometric, voluminous and pleated designs, the collection lacks something, I don't know, may be the some colors and details. Here are my favs:

Fall for these pants

Fairly used color blocks

Pleats pleats. This reminds me of Issey Miyake

In contrast, Limi Feu's invitation is lovely as it is decorated by 2 bling bling stars... you will know how Limi uses them right next

Those lovely stars come from nippies- Bristols six, the partner of this fashion show. I have never heard about this brand but it is fairly a good way to marketing. Make up from Shiseido and Hair made by Hirofumi Kera. I really love the hairstyle which is quite simple and applicable for evening event paired with simple (or gorgeous cocktail dress ^^): Lightly curled Ponytail (bounces and swishes as the girl walks) along with high-volume French Half twists.

What did I wear for Limi Feu fashion show?

Boyfriend dress shirt 

Vintage Vest from Comme des Garcons

Louis Vuitton sneakers 

Proenza Schouler handbag from AW2010 

The opening and ending of this show send to attenders this message: Stand up all the Genius doctors of the world, Kids in Japan need your help for future... 100% touching as Japan has passed the most painful accident since atomic bombing in Hiroshima and Nagasaki 1945... In one word: HUMANISM

Here are my favs from Limi Feu SS2012: (Credit: Style.com). I don't have my own pix since I need Photographer's pass to peep my camera.

Black and White leggings: I'm pretty sure that the idea comes from 101 dalmatiens

Love this vest 

I'm always Limi Feu big big big fan. I love her attitude and her design. She was a rebel girl and she confessed once that if she was a boy, she might risk her life in extremely dangerous motorbike races. She used drug and had to go to rehab many times for drug overdose and depression... However, she manages well her life and become a well known designer. Worth to be praised, right? 

Well. that's all for day 1 and 2. Tomorrow, I'll go watching Carven and Manish Arora since there is no class before 13h. God bless Tam Tam. I really want to go to Balenciaga show but have no invitation and the show is hold in private place... Poor
