Put on a Chic face

For today's throwback, I've got two favourites working together: Taylor Hill and Alexandre Vauthier. I hate to admit that his last two collections for HC have been slightly disappointing, since they were a bit too over the top for my taste. What I always liked from Vauthier was how good he was at making effortlessly sexy clothes. He normally makes a show for the big HC collections, but just releases a lookbook to present us the RTW collections.  One of my favourites has to be the one for the S/S 2017 season, featuring Taylor Hill. On it we can see the effortless sexiness I already mentioned. It's very chic too, but more tamed that the HC collections, of course. And Taylor wears the clothes beautifully. Every single picture inspires me. Ph: David Bellemere Para el throwback de hoy he juntado a dos favoritos: Taylor Hill y Alexandre Vauthier.  Odio admitir que sus dos últimas coleccio...

Once you've been part of the fashion week drama, you kind of lose your love for fashion shows. However, everytime HC ends I'm like: Is it over already? I never said I was normal. But it is over, and yesterday was a great day with plenty of amazing shows. Favourite? I don't think I can pick just one, but bits from each show I saw. We also had Chanel two days ago, which disappointed me a little. But I loved Camille as the bride. Ulyana Sergeenko had the best cast and the best make-up of the season. And Vauthier was as sexy as usual. Chanel Ulyana Sergeenko Alexandre Vauthier Una vez vives la experiencia que es las semanas de la moda, pierdes parte de la fascinación hacía los desfiles. Sin embargo, cada vez que termina la Alta Costura digo: ¿Ya se acabó? Nunca me describí a mi misma como normal. Pero si, ha terminado. Y ayer fue un gran día con grandes desfiles. ¿Mi favorito? No puedo elegir uno solo, así que cojo cachitos de cada u...

This was supposed to be a 2 reviews kind of thing. But I just have been like this lately...off and busy. Anyways, with HC it is fairly easy to put everything together in one post. So let's do just that. Se suponía que iba a hacer 2 reseñas. Pero últimamente estoy...pérdida y muy ocupada. Lo bueno es que con la Alta Costura es bastante sencillo agrupar todo en una entrada. Hagamos eso.   -Christian Dior & Valentino: I'm talking about these two at the same time for obvious reasons. Judging both these collections and the ones presented in October, I must say that Maria Grazia was the one that gave more personality to the Valentino image created in the last couple of years. However, I still like Valentino more, even if it's a bit different now that Pierpaolo is alone in the designing process. Funny, isn't it? I guess it is mainly because Dior is supposed to be something else. Raf's Dior wasn't too popular because it was different to Galliano...

We still have to wait a couple of weeks for the next big fashion month, but before that we always get some shows to fill that gap between seasons. Here you have the HC schedule, so you can see which shows you don't want to miss. As always, I'm really looking forward to seeing Valentino's show.  Talk to you in a couple of days with my first review =) Aún nos quedan un par de semanas hasta que llegue el siguiente mes de desfiles, pero antes de eso siempre tenemos unos desfiles que rellenan el hueco entre temporadas. Aquí tenéis el calendario de alta costura, para que podáis ver que desfiles son los que no os queréis perder por nada del mundo. Como siempre, yo tengo muchas ganas de ver Valentino. Ya nos hablamos en un par de días, cuando traiga mi primera reseña =)

Busy is my middle name. I wish I had time to talk about each show, but I don't. So, to sum it up: I liked Chanel, Armani was GORGEOUS, Vauthier disappointed me a little, Saab left his comfort zone for a couple of minutes (and I quite liked that) and Valentino was absolute perfection. "Ocupada" es mi segundo nombre. Ojalá tuviera tiempo para hablar de cada desfile, pero no lo tengo. Así que, resumiendo: me gustó Chanel, Armani fue PRECIOSO, Vauthier me decepcionó un poco, Saab salió de su zona de confort durante 5 minutos (y me gustó) y Valentino fue la perfección absoluta.   - Chanel:   -Giorgio Armani Privé:   -Alexandre Vauthier:   -Elie Saab:   -Valentino:

People say pink and red don't go well together. Well, we're mixing those two colours today ;) Barbara has been attending this festival for a while, since she's one of the main faces of L'oreal. And I always say she's never going to beat the look worn on her first appearance. However, this year's look gets 2nd place. I feel like they always tend to make her wear black, to make her look thinner (I know, I'm rolling my eyes too). Therefore, I welcome this softer look. I'm in love with Lorenzo Serafini's work for Philosophy, and this dress is just another example. I also adore the hair and make-up. She looks gorgeous. And what about Rosie? God, she's a total queen. She could make me want to wear the ugliest dress in the world, just because it'll look amazing on her. Red seems to be an unpopular colour when it comes to the red carpet, but she makes it work. This Alexandre Vauthier is (like 99% of his designs) sexy but classy. With tha...

  -Chanel: A house full of dolls wearing black and white. The more minimal, the better. But I miss the times when Karl was true to himself and only used the models he liked. Now we can see he's using some of his muses, but also all the girls with millions of followers. We all know Karl doesn't like the Hadid sisters, for size reasons. Oh well! The collection was ok. Very elegant and appropiate for couture, which I welcome.  We can see there's a lot of work behind all the pieces, but it isn't a collection I'll always remember. Una casa llena de muñecas que van vestidas de blanco y negro. Cuanto más minimalista, mejor. Pero echo de menos la época en que Karl solo usaba a las modelos que le gustaban. Ahora podemos ver que sigue usando a sus musas, pero también a las chicas con millones de seguidores. Y todos sabemos que a Karl las hermanas Hadid no le gustan, por motivos de tallas. En fin... La colección esta bien. Muy elegante y apropiada pa...
