Put on a Chic face

Yesterday, it was the first Monday of May. And that can only mean one thing...the MET Gala. It was also a Bank Holiday here but it's not as important, for whatever reason. And I thought I could tell you about my favourite outfits for the night, and while I was looking at the looks, I thought I would do a little countdown.  Ayer fue el primer lunes de Mayor, y eso solo puede significar una cosa...la gala del MET. También era festivo aquí, pero no es algo tan importante. Y pensé que os podía decir cuales fueron mis outfits favoritos de la noche, pero en una cuenta atrás.   -Madonna, Jean Paul Gaultier: It says a lot about the rests of the guests, and not in a good way, that Madonna was the only one wearing JPG. Because, you know, he only has hundreds of designs that fit the theme. It's no surprise that Madonna did well yesterday, because this is her look. She's done it a hundred times, and it looks natural on her. Dice mucho del resto de i...

When I decided to do just two reviews during fashion week, I wasn't sure about it. I felt like I was letting you guys down, that you'll think I'm just being lazy, ...but it is the best decision I've made in a while. It's not that I don't have time to write about the shows...I barely have time to watch them. It should be better during the European fashion weeks, though.  Anyway, I've selected 9 collections that I want to talk about. Three of them (Tom Ford, Tommy Hilfiger and Thakoon) are part of the "see now, buy now" trend, so they actually belong to the FW collections. But they've been presented during this week, so I'll talk about them anyway.  Cuando decidí hacer dos reseñas durante la semana de la moda, tuve dudas. Me parecía que os iba a parecer que os estaba dejando tirados o que me había puesto en plan vago, ...pero resulta que es la mejor decisión que he tomado en mucho tiempo. No es que no tenga tiempo para escribir sobre d...

  -Altuzarra: Awww, isn't it nice to see Vanessa back on the runway? And she closed the show. I honestly struggled to understand her career when she was on top, so you can imagine the struggle now. She was supposed to be the Karlie Kloss of her generation. What happened? Anyway, let's talk about the collection. Do I spy (with my little eye) some Louis Vuitton inspiration? I mean, it's 9 am and I'm not fully awake but...it's pretty obvious, right? And that kind of proves my point that what I don't like about this brand is its lack of personality. I don't see an Altuzarra piece and think "that's Altuzarra" unless I recognize it from the runway show. And that's basic in fashion. Ohhh, ¿no es maravilloso ver a Vanessa de vuelta en la pasarela? Y encima cerró el desfile. Sinceramente, nunca conseguí entender como iba su carrera cuando estaba en lo más alto. Así que podéis imaginar lo difícil que me resulta ahora. Se suponía ...

  -Alexander Wang: We all expected big top models showing up at Wang's 10th anniversay show. And, what did we got? Lexi opening the show. Talk about anticlimatic.  More designers have been celebrating anniversaries this week, which is quite interesting. They used this moment to show "the best of...", and it usually just looked incredibly uninspired. Wang's collection looked a bit too "streetstyle" for my taste, but that's what Wang is about, right? Not my cup of tea, but I think it was a good celebration of him as a designer. The casting, however... Todos esperábamos ver a las tops en este desfile que marcaba los 10 años de Wang como diseñador. Y, ¿qué es lo que recibimos? A Lexi abriendo el desfile. Anticlimático total.  Más diseñadores han estado celebrando aniversarios varios esta semana, lo cual es siempre interesante. Suelen usar este momento para recordar sus mejores momentos en pasadas colecciones, pero siempre acaba pareciendo ...
