Seeing Stars!

OK, cheesy title I know, and bit late on posting about a lot of FW stuff but I've been a busy bee. Aka marking tests and assessing students. But now it's all over and I can get back to the blog! So anyway, I LOVE STARS! So much I have a tattoo of 3 stars. So when I saw the Dolce & Gabbana Autumn 2011 collection from Milan Fashion Week I nearly peed my pants! It's fabulous! I love that they showed a girly look followed by a more masculine look on the runway too, made the masculine and the feminine elements stand out much more. I could post many many pictures here but I'll try and pick a select few.













I want one of these dresses in EVERY colour! Heh.





This one is gorgeous!




OK, so still many many photos! I just can't help it!
Loving how they're bringing the bum bag back (that's fanny pack for any Americans) too.
In short; stars, glitter, bum bags and socks with sandals = Fashion Chu Hi heaven!

Black and White McQueen.

Anyone else get a bit of a Swan Lake vibe from Alexander McQueen's Fall 2011 collection? The black and white and fur that looked a bit like feathers, and feathers and nipped in waists with full skirts, the volume? No? Just me? Heh. See what you think.





Love this one SO much!









Also the use of zips to make pleats and contours is fab! And the shoes...well...they're to die for! Hahah! OK, cliche overload ended!

Winter Chill

One of the great things about living in Japan is that it doesn't really get cold until, well today! It stays lovely and warm for a long time. However, when you start to feel that chill you know it's tome to stock up on jumpers. They don't have central heating in Japan so school corridors are freezing and I have to wait a good 20 minutes for my house / classroom to heat up, hence why this editorial in Vogue Russia is so appealing to me right now!


I need me some cosy knits, stat!

Alexander McQueen's last collection: AW10

This collection has an angel and demons theme and is absolutely stunning. The white dress with the beading on the front is total wedding dress material too! I love the prints used and want one of those bags. And the shoes are just out of this world. The feathered booties are to die for! He obviously had much more to give and this collection just shows it. Think this collection might be one of my favourites! What do you think?

Pedro Lourenço

I love the textures, the paneling and the cutouts! This dude is only 19! I'm off to google him to find out more about him! Enjoy his first collection at Paris Fashion Week!

Burberry Prorsum Pics.

Here are the buckled knee length boots. Don't they just look so comfy?

And that huge bag that came in several colours. Sigh.

And one of the aviator style jackets. In fact, I think my Dad still has a very similar one from the 70s in his wardrobe somewhere....hmmm.....could be time for a quick call home!

The ankle buckle boots. Again, deliciously comfy, no?

And a closeup.

Burberry Prorsum LFW

Just watched the Burberry Prorsum show streamed live from London. I am loving the whole cadets/aviation theme! I especially loved the huge coats with all the buckle detail, the ankle and knee length buckled boots, the thigh high khaki boots (such a nice change from black) and that HUGE bag! Hopefully I'll have some photos up soon but am off to bed now as it is 1.45am in Osaka and I'm up at 7!
