G.C

Having an interest in Fashion but not having watched The September Issue cannot be a fashion crime surely? Yes, I shamelessly admit that I have never watched the documentary feature film until last night and the only reason I was tempted was because of the captivating Grace Coddington (GC). Model turned Creative Director of Vogue captured my heart whilst reading her memoir, she has an unbelievable creative eye and the movie really emphasised what a great person she is. 

‘The September Issue’ provided us an insight into the behind scenes of the office and the daily actions of America’s Vogue dream team during their biggest issue. I was completely in awe seeing GC in action and to see her visuals come to life was mesmerising.  She may be persistent in her work but when surrounded by colleagues, designers and others she appears so gracious and pleasant.

ALTUZARRA

Joseph Altuzarra's known for his thigh-high slits did not disappoint with his 2015 collection. The ready-to-wear ensemble included tailored coats, knee-length boots and necklines of fine white lace but what really caught our attention were the dresses. The deep V neckline, the thin lining of the dresses and the embellished sheerness left us all speechless, not only that the dresses looked almost weightless.

ALL BLACK COLLECTION- WANG

"Our customer wants black, so why not do an all-black collection?"- Alexander Wang, 2015.

I agree, black is a classic colour that can be worn so many ways. Whether that is to create a professional, grungy, rock chic, quirky, casual or sophisticated look, in my opinion it is a staple to any great outfit. 

You can therefore imagine my response to A.Wang 2015 all black collection, it was brilliant. The entire shade of black collection has already been overdone in the history of fashion from the likes of Marc Jacobs and Comme des Garçons but nothing comes close to Wang's collection. Call me biased but I am a big fan of anything wang and loved the details and design of the Fall 2015 Ready-to-Wear collection.

Perfect for winter.

Plain Jane

When in doubt, keep it simple. We are in that in between season where we want to look good but it is way too cold to wear the upcoming spring collection, my advice to you is keep it simple. Minimal makeup and layers is the way to go.
