Behind The Best

Behind the best, come the best of behind the scenes so today I have compiled a whole heaps of inspiring backstage images which are so carefully captured 'in the moment.' Take a minute to take a look at some of these fabulous snaps, they really show what some of the key Fall 2013 season trends are but also showcase some of what will soon be the hottest products...and yes I am talking about those Isabel Marant wedge booties! 

Featuring the likes of, Balmain, Kenzo, Chanel, Rick Owens and Alexander McQueen just to name a few, we can see there are similar trends throughout the various collections. Leather and wool is one of the most popular trends for fall and always will be. From the sleek and sophisticated use of leather in Balmain to the cool and textured leather at Kenzo it creates a big statement and will always be a winner, well at least in my eyes. Metallics and embellishments are huge, the key shoe style is a sleek wedge and bold garment features are making an appearance. If you decide to enter the world of Chanel, which you quite possibly could literally do considering how huge the globe was (centre stage that is), I say put on your thigh high "waders" and strut your stuff in something dark.

For now, happy Friday fashion friends!

Same Talk

Balenciaga, Balmain, Lanvin, Stella McCartney, Chloe, Givenchy, Dior, Margiela...it's a never ending list of amazing designers and not to mention the never ending list of daily emails about updates and newly posted shows from Paris Fashion Week, sadly the last of the lot for the Fall 2013 collections (insert sad face here). 

Well, it's a new day and there is so much fashion to catch up on so instead of just talking about how fabulous and fashionable the street style is I though I'd do a little trend update of what we are seeing on the streets.

So, other than the usual but amazing fur numbers hitting the streets, I must say that classic prints are big this season and by classic I mean the ones that travel in and out so quickly they stay 'trendy' and 'fashionable' all year round! I'm talking leopard, leopard print is looking huge and if Anna Dello Russo is rocking it then it's definitely a trend to follow. Checkers and houndstooth (being that famous black and white David Jones print for all you aussies) prints are also making a come back and not to mention a good floral! 

I must say though the things that become the biggest trends from the international fashion weeks are the accessories, yes I'm talking about the Chanel lego clutches and those Saint Laurent sneakers. I know I'm one of those trend suckers when it comes to things like this but your crazy if you don't want to get your hands on one of those lego clutches, I know I do!
