Faustine Steinmetz LFWSS17 "Blue Denim"

Events 9/30/2016

LFWSS17 , is behind us time to share with you more of my experiences of the amazing presentations and catwalks that I have had the opportunity to see for the season SS17. The second day at London fashion week started from me with a great presentation by Faustine Steinmetz , later I went to see the Markus Lupfer presentation, and the House of Holland catwalk finish my day at the Palmer presentation.
As I said I first saw the Parisian born Faustine Steinmetz, " Blue Denim" and really everything in this presentation had the color of blue denim in many shades, it was a very sophisticated and integrated presentation because" nothing is more familiar than blue denim. Its place in culture and history, as well as in our wardrobes is firmly defined. As seen in every city in the world."

London Fashion Week Spring/Summer 17 has arrived this year on the 16th - 20th of September. It is time for the Capital to show what UK designers can create and we all know they have a lot to show.
I started my LFW SS17 with Paul Costelloe on the evening of the 16th helping my photographer friend at the backstage shoot. Watching and experiencing the backstage at the time before the show is a very special experience. Amazing opportunity to see how the designer and his team works with the models, make up artist, stylist organised to make sure everything looks perfectly beautiful.
Every single details was designed and planned by the designer. After the models are dressed, the final check is made by the designer for every details of the styling. If any tailoring is requires for the dresses, the Tailors team on site is ready to make the dress fit, to make the designer’s creation comes to life as he beautiful visualized it.

Bell sleeve .

9/11/2016

When you look at the bell sleeve you know we are back to the 70s. But that's history and what is the style and trend now? From bell sleeves at the Roksanda catwalk to asymmetric arms at Jonathan Saunders , sleeves have been a key for season 2016 and they are getting longer and longer as at Vetements or Rihanna for Puma collection. Whites a favorite in the style for me, to be worn with high west jeans or any trousers, but is one rolls
trousers need to be skinny if you want to look chic no hippie . Bell sleeves are also going to look good with a jacket when it is really Autumn and you can see them coming out from the sleeves of the jacket. Hope you like my look .

Tomorrow I start at the Condenast College where I am doing my editors course , cant wait !!!! So follow my Instagram and you can see more my daily look updated there.

Checkerboard

9/06/2016

Since spring 2013-2014 Black and white patterns have made a comeback, they are in stores now so we can see that they are back in fashion again.
The checkerboard pattern is in this season you can mix and match the same size checks or smaller as I have done, take this vibe in styling ready for your autumn look and let your creativity run.
Get these 60's retro vibe's and look at them in a new light and give a twist to your look that will be remembered, a good looking shirt with a bow for sure that bow gives you an extra cute and different look, more is more when it comes to shirting this season. The black and white checkerboard pattern can look romantic and nostalgic at the same time.
It is for me now a busy and exciting time, as I finally get to attend the Vogue College. It is also fashion week but I am not sure that I will be able to make it this year . Follow me on Instagram and keep in touch you guys xxx

Shirt/ M&S

10 things to shop for now.

8/31/2016

There are few must haves you should buy and a few trends and few things you should invest in right now, and soon you will see it was the right thing to do. My tip Invest in little things that give your look that final touch like accessories.

Big oversize earrings and general jewelry ( on all the catwalks the designers showing big shiny and sparkly things,rings and chokers are my favorite jewelry) that come from Gucci and Pinko, but you don't necessarily have to spend that much because on the High Street and Internet sites like eBay there is much less expensive jewellry. Also Cowboy boots can be over the knee as from the hm Studio AW16 Collection , the ankle boot is the number one for this fall and winter. A cross body colored bag with a chain as from Gucci or a big wide belt as from LV or Fendi.

My number one also on my shopping list is the double G simple Black Gucci belt. Punk mood has made a comeback, shiny fabrics as seen in the Calvin Klein collection. Fenomen right now are doing a slogan band T-shirt with Guns and Roses or Metallica or any heavy metal band as from Vetements , for example, but if you look deep in your wardrobe for sure you will find one:) , no matter if you dance ballet or not ballet pumps

are the number one shoe and you don't have to pay £400.00 from Miu Miu for one season, you can buy these from Zara. See you soon have fun shopping.

Love me tender .

8/22/2016

After a short trip away I have come back with a post which was inspired by an interview given by Cara Delevingne in the September 2016 issue of Vogue. Adidas three stripe track trousers are an absolute hit, you can wear them with everything, and remember my tip-sometimes something looks like it doesn't match, but actually it could be the perfect match, think about my words on how to compose your wardrobe for this season.
Some stylist advise a match with track trousers a sequin top ( a brave option) or a satin top but I stick with a T-shirt for those of you who like the more daily option, but I still try with the look to keep it in a street glamour style .
Oversized crystal earrings can make the look stronger and add a freaky look with a sparkle of glamour this look is definitely for those of you who like to break the rules and show that you could also be experimental with fashion as I do.

Denim . This is the way to wear denim now.

8/08/2016

Hello welcome after a short break. I am enjoying the rest of the summer as my work is more flexible right now and I can travel a little more as you can see on my Snapchat @magfashionavenu and Instagram@magfashionavenuE .I have a traveled mostly alone for a few days so I have not had much opportunity to do a full post of my look, but you can see what I am wearing on my media platform, I hope you enjoy following me as I always think about you guys and trying to show you a lots of interesting things.

Today on my post denim ,which has made a comeback many times and already is a fashion statement and just now exists everywhere. What is the way to wear denim right now? , there are a lot of ways to wear denim right now, most as we know but is few new ideas and I will tell you about this on my post.

Jacket on jacket a shirt that is over jeans, yes this is my way to wear denim right now, to mix and match denim in different colors is absolutely allowable, my tip is that you can try and wear jeans skirt like an apron tie over a pair of jeans( it is better if the jeans are a lighter color than the apron skirt) it is better for a double denim look that way. Two pairs of jeans tops are better than one jeans shirt and jeans jacket over a shirt , it is a better combination if the shirt is darker than the jacket and it is play between the darker and lighter shades denim, not just jeans jacket and shirt no you can't wear jeans and a polo neck,everything is about jeans for sure you have some unwanted and long lost jeans in your wardrobe, add some patches, Best with unbowed knees (The patches can be made from leather ,cord and also any fabric that is a different shade from your jeans ) another way to create an interesting going to look is to cut your jeans in a raw edge at the hems . Finally my favorite way to mix and match denim (patch and team jeans add loafers like on my look today ). See you soon, in the meantime follow my new trip soon .

Girl wanna have fun

7/24/2016

Ruffles, women love them this trend is still strong for SS16 and AW16 , as you can see my ruffles are for summer, the winter option is heavier and cosier as at JW Anderson with leather layers or at Gucci with a cosy knitted capes, but about those layers that are the cozy part of ruffles we will talk later ,it is still summer and we want to enjoy the rest of summer.

We have been wearing the Ruffles since the 15th century back then they were much heavier,I definitely prefer the look of the more modern ruffles , I am a huge fan of them the look is cute ruffles make the look also sexy. Depending on which part of the body that we wear them can change our figure, for example if we wear them on our breast it is an optical illusion that makes our breast look bigger. A short ruffle blouses like the one I am wearing should be worn with high waist look trousers to keep our shape in the right proportion. See you on my next post ;)
