Put on a Chic face

Fran Summers (England, UK) / Storm Models                        Traditionally, I like to do a special post for my birthday. Not one that is about me, but one about something I really like. This year, it is going to be another "Meet this new face". And it is all about one of my favourites of the moment: Fran Summers. Ya es tradicción que haga una entrada especial por mi cumpleaños. No es sobre mi, sino sobre algo que me encanta. Este año va a ser una de mis entradas en las que os presento a new faces. Y esta vez hablo de una de mis modelos favoritas del momento: Fran Summers.   - Who is she? Fran is from Yorkshire, in England. And she started modelling not that long ago. This runway season was her third, and her second one doing only top shows. Last September she had two exclusives: in London (J.W. Anderson) and Milan (Prada); and walked a bunch of top shows in Paris. After that she got 4 campaigns ...

Chloé S/S 2018 How do you define being the star of the season? I've said many times that, for me, that is impacting people more than the rest. That's why I've called Birgit Kos a runway star in the past, and also why I'm calling Alexandra Micu this season's star. Even though she skipped both NY and London. Alexandra's debut was as a exclusive for Louis Vuitton in the FW 16.17 season. After that, she has done other shows but was still very exclusive (last season, she was a worldwide exclusive for LV). And she's only done campaigns for LV, so I'm looking forward to seeing her in other ads. Being so exclusive can mean two things: 1) By the time you do a full season no one cares about you anymore, or 2) By the time you decide to do a full season, most brands are desperate to have you on their show. Guess which one happened to her? She hasn't walked every single show thrown at her like Cara Taylor, but has only been in top shows. It...

Elle France Nov. '15 Who should be the star of the season? The model that walks the most shows? The one that opens more shows than any other model? ...maybe, but for me it is the model that makes the biggest impact on the people watching the shows. The model than impressed me, personally, the most was Birgit Kos. And that led to me doing some research about her. Her face looked familiar, and I felt like she had been doing top shows for seasons. But actually, that wasn't true. I think I remembered her from her SS 16 Giorgio Armani campaign. She also caught my eye because of her campaigns for Miu Miu, where she outshined the other models. For the SS 17 season she only did one show: Miu Miu, which she opened. And she carried that momentum to this FW 17.18 season. She skipped both NY and London, but started with a bang closing the Fendi show. I can see her getting the campaign. ¿Quién debería ser la estrella de la temporada? ¿La modelo que hace más desfiles? ...

Paris! What a beautiful city full of beautiful shows. I'm in such a good fashion mood lately. And Dries Van Noten helped with that by having the best cast a show could have. The designer has been calling models who have been his muses for the last couple of months. This show was his 100th show and he wanted it to be a show where models who know how to wear his clothes walked. It wasn't just that he casted iconic models, it was that he casted models who fit the brand. Sometimes, we just have shows with it girls who are amazing, but...they may not fit the show as much as other would. For me, this show will forever be an iconic moment and I'm glad I got to watch it as it happened. ¡París! Que ciudad tan bonita llena de desfiles preciosos. Estoy de muy buen humor modil últimamente. Y Dries Van Noten ayudó reuniendo el mejor casting que puede haber en un desfiles. El diseñador comenzó a contactar modelos que han sido sus musas hace meses. Este fue su desfile número 100 ...

  -Chloé: I still don't get used to seeing a Chloé show during the week and in the morning. It doesn't feel right. The collection was more than right, though. It may look like more of the same, because it kind of is. But I love it. I know many people dislike this brand right now because it's too boho and, well, repetitive. But I kind of like that about the brand. If you look at it as a whole, you may not like it. But there are some outfits that are stunning, and you can't deny it ;) No me acostumbro a ver un desfile de Chloé entre semana y por la mañana. Es como que no me resulta correcto. Pero la colección me resultó más que correcta. Puede que parezca más de lo mismo, porque lo es. Pero a mi me gusta. Se de mucha gente a la que no le gusta esta marca ahora mismo porque es muy bohemia y repetitiva. Pero a mi eso me gusta. Si lo miráis en conjunto, quizás no os guste. Pero hay que reconocer que algunos pases son preciosos ;)   -Paco Rabanne:...

  -Chloé: Well, when I woke up today, I didn't expect this kind of review about Chloé's show. But, it's happening, people...I'm going to say bad things about this collection. I know, I can't believe it either. First of all, it felt so weird to see a Chloé show on a Thursday morning!  We've had enough sporty chic. Chloé should be boho-pretty, and this isn't pretty.  I feel more sad than disappointed, to be honest. Such a sad show. Bueno, pues la verdad que cuando me desperté esta mañana no esperaba escribir una reseña de este tipo sobre Chloé. Pero, está pasando, gente...voy a decir cosas negativas sobre la colección. Lo se, yo tampoco me lo puedo creer. Lo primero de todo, decir que me sentía muy rara viendo un desfile de Chloé un jueves por la mañana.  Y, ya hemos visto demasiado sporty chic en esta vida. Chloé debería hacer boho-bonito, y esto no es bonito. Estoy más triste que decepcionada, la verdad. Una pena de desfile. ...

I usually make a post for each fashion week, but this time I have many posts written and I don't want to wait more time to post them. That's why I'm showing you my favourite shows from each FW in one post. It's not big deal, but I wanted to explain why was I changing the way I do things. Tell me your favourite shows =) Suelo hacer una entrada para cada semana de la moda, pero esta vez tengo demasiadas entradas escritas y no quiero esperar más para publicarlas. Por eso os enseño mis desfiles favoritos de cada FW en una sola entrada. No es nada del otro mundo, pero quería explicar mis motivos para cambiar la manera de hacer las cosas. Decidme cuales han sido vuestros desfiles favoritos =) NYFW :   -Victoria Beckham:   -Tory Burch:   -Diane von Furstenberg:   -Calvin Klein:   -Ralph Lauren: LFW :   -Daks:   -Temperly London:   -Paul Smith:   -Burberry Prorsum: ...

  -Mugler: This isn't bad at all. It feels like he's trying to find his own identity, and that's why it doesn't look very Mugler. But it's nice. Kind of simple, but nice and modern. Esto no está nada mal. Siento que está intentando encontrar su propia identidad, y es por eso que no se parece tanto a Mugler. Pero es bonito. Bastante simple, pero bonito y moderno.   -Elie Saab: 3rd season in a row that I won't complain about Elie Saab. Well, more like 3rd collection. This looks like a RTW show, as it should. And that's the best thing I can say about it. There are some dreamy gowns, of course. But that's ok since we can see gowns in most shows. 3ª temporada seguida que no me quejo de Elie Saab. Bueno, más bien 3ª temporada.  Esto parece una colección de PAP, como debe ser. Y eso es lo mejor que puedo decir al respecto. Hay algunos vestidos de princesita. Pero eso está bien ya que los ve...
