Geographic Godess

A stark opening of white bodycon dresses saw Frida's Gianni's Gucci clad models take to the runway in full force....an eruption of brightly coloured graphic print jackets and dresses emerge as we progress through the show. The crescendo saw a multitude of black somewhat gladiator like warrior looks tread the boards...drenched in intrcate beadwork and floaty fabrics it made for a great end to a spectacular show.

A truly solid vision from beginning to end....although i feel the collection has a feel that is perhaps to commercial, i imagine for high street retailers to have pencil to paper already sketching what will be their biggest sellers (the copycat generation is upon us)

Hot Child Out Of The City

With what felt like a reprise of woodstock 1969, the Caten brothers introduced us to their WW SS10 RTW collection...
A gang of long limbed beauties paraded down the runway showing how a sexy woodland girl should look, with cute prom dresses in decadent fabrics, slogan sweats and cute cut off denim we were shown again how to do casual / sexy / chic....
What did phase me somewhat were the plasters that some models adorned throughout the show, was this to show the rough edge of a woodland being...not sure, but these aside the festival chick reigned supreme.

80's flashback

Dolce and Gabanna took a reminiscent step back in time to the 80's with their SS10 Womens RTW show...
A strong use of black lace, we were instantly viewers of a somewhat decadent picture show as sexy and more womanly models paraded down the catwalk.
An opening of black manish tailoring contrasted against the lace / crochet like garment made for an interesting start, as the show continued we were treated to a Madonna like show of corsettry.
The crescendo of beautiful colours made for a welcome retreat back to what Dolce and Gabanna have made a name for themselves in recent years.
Whst were your thoughts on Dolce and Gabanna's show???

LOve LUst LIke...Raf Simons High Tops

LOve at first sight one might say....this here folks is my LOve LUst LIke item of the week...
If there's one thing that RAF does well it's sneakers / trainers...drafting the cool waterproof fabric neoprene into this somewhat space age footwear, i feel totally taken away.
Somewhat like a space shuttle in it's shape and an added use of strong colour and interesting fabric we have a prize winning style..
What are your thoughts???
Until next time ABOYWonders...

Mendes V Dornan

Mendes V Dornan
Words cant describe how HOT i find this coupling - the sexual chemistry between the two not only seems convincing but makes me want to be the third member of this line up...the forces of nature against me, alas i must only stare from the sidelines
This is provocative / sexual / spellbinding / yet somewhat controversial all at once...
Mendes proves to be a winning formula for Klein and with Dornan in tow this advert can do no wrong....on that note i'm off to cool down!

September September

The September Issue

As I sit here listening to Santagold singing Hometown Glory by Adele, I try to think of words that evoke my reaction toward the September Issue…

Pure genius / Sharp / Direct / Sassy / Fashion are just some of the statements that I think…by this I mean that the viewer gains a clear and very direct insight into a world that they would do anything to be a part of. As a fashion “insider” you go along hoping to that the world you slave for is shown in the right light and I can safely say that R.J.Cutler has done this…

I sat for 88mins looking on at the screen adoringly as Miss Wintour and her team go about creating what is referred to as a modern day bible for the fashionable and the devoted followers.

The star of course would be thought of as Miss Wintour but how wrong we are…step forward Grace Coddington…fashion royalty to those in the know. Heralded as one of the best stylist in the world, she steals the limelight with her charm, wit and sheer determination to not be in the picture, but it is with the traits listed before that she lifts the mood and throws the auditorium of watchers into fits of laughter. The banter between Grace and Anna is that of pure brilliance, as two very determined women butt heads we see pure beauty unfold as the pages of one of the worlds largest fashion magazines is created.

Those who make appearances throughout are fashion mavericks from Oscar De La Renta, to Nicholas Ghesquiere for Balenciaga to name but a few...we see how a fashion legend as Miss Wintour commands not only attention but is able to create for a house other than that of her beloved Vogue. As an outsider you see first hand the previews that Miss Wintour is subject too, not only seeing but critiquing what is shown to a world of buyers and other editors...

To conclude on my thoughts of “The September Issue” I can only encourage you to find your local cinema / auditorium / movie theatre and become as wrapped up in the words / drama / mystique as I did…you’ll leave with a sense of knowing what goes into creating a publication that is adored by the world over and just what Miss Wintour really is like…I’m just a click away from booking seats to watch it for a second time…

All about the confidence....

Denim on Denim...
Until recently, this would be a look frowned upon, black denim mixed with the usual blue can often be a hard line to tread but this candidate does it very well...casual relaxed styling mixed with a classic shoe...

Grecian Goddess

WOW
I LOve everything about this look...simple yet effective.
A beautiful grey cotton dress teamed with a vintage find of a beautuifl leather biker jacket...how one manages to look sexy yet understated is BEYond me but boy does she do it well.
The dress sits perfectly with soft draping in all the right places, a perfect colour match against skin tone and other elements of her outfit...

Justizzzzzle

This girl knows how to rock a look...
Always the style maven, but today i found her look to be totally cool.

Loved his look and believe it or not all from high street retailer AllSaints...
Great styling with the oversized wooden cross with beads, slgiht carrott leg on the trouser with a raised inseam, teamed with a gret grey sock and classic brown loafer...
What can i say other than a great look!

BEYond BEYonce

BEYond BEYonce....a woman of sheer grace and pure talent, Beyonce showed all just why she is referred as one of the greatest talents of our modern day.
With an opening of sweet dreams, Beyonce sultryly made her way through the lyrics as if the earlier outburst of Mister West meant nothing, by the time that drum of Single Ladies looped in our ears it was all but too evident why Beyonce had won three VMAs....there is no stopping this woman and as it goes i wouldnt want her too...

Doing things the WANG way...American Football Storms The Runway

American football was a determined theme in Mister Wangs most recent runway show...
With great grey sweater looks Alexander managed to bring sexy back to an american football players wardrobe...fused with tan leather details and rope tie accents, we were all left in a haze of cuteness.
Strong outwear pieces mixed with a use of mesh we were shown exactly why Wang is worth his weight in gold...
