Put on a Chic face

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...

Time flies when you're having fun! I can't believe fashion month is already over.  It's been quite the month. For me personally, it has been great. London Fashion Week felt like home, to be honest. And I got to skip one of the days for something super exciting. These last few days of PFW haven't been as amazing as the first ones, collections wise, but I enjoyed the shows more than last season. My biggest complaint would be that Valentino and Dior are still a bit of a mess, and that hurts my fashion heart.  More in a couple of months 😏😏 ¡El tiempo vuela cuando te lo pasas bien! No me puedo creer que el mes de desfiles haya acabado ya. Ha sido un mes interesante. Para mi personalmente ha sido bueno. London Fashion Week ya me hace sentir como en casa. Y me pude permitir saltarme un día por un motivo que me puso muy contenta. Estos últimos días de PFW no han sido tan buenos como los primeros en cuanto a colecciones, pero aún así he disfrutado más con ello...

My gif (Video source: Dior's yt channel) I usually do 3 of these posts, one after the main 3 fashion weeks. On them I feature about 8/10 looks that caught my attention while I was watching the shows.  I'm going to try to select the same amount, so the post doesn't get too long...but I can't promise anything. Suelo hacer 3 de estas entradas, después de cada una de las 3 fashion weeks principales. En ellas pongo de 8 a 10 looks que me llamaron la atención mientras veía los desfiles. Voy a intentar seleccionar el mismo número ahora para que la entrada no sea haga muy larga y pesada...pero no prometo nada. NYFW:   -DKNY: Pat McGrath's name may be familiar to many now, since she's selling her own products. There's a lot of hype around that. But fashion people have known her for a while. An absolute sweetheart who deserves all the good things happening to her.  Now she's using the shows she works for to promote her products, whic...

My gif (Video source: Kendam's yt channel) Final review of a fashion month that hasn't been the most exciting for me. However, PFW made me fall in love with shows again. Well, sort of... Reseña final de un mes de desfiles que no ha sido el más excitante para mi. Sin embargo, la PFW me ha hecho enamorarme de los desfiles otra vez. Bueno, más o menos...   -Valentino: My most anticipated show was Valentino's, since it was Pierpaolo's first solo collection for the brand. I think it's obvious that him and Maria Grazia work best as a team, but that doesn't meant this collection was bad. It's gorgeous but, I feel like something is missing. Though, I'll give him (and her) some time. Proper judgement will come in January with the HC. Mi desfile más esperado era el de Valentino, ya que era la primera colección que diseñaba Pierpaolo en solitario. Creo que es obvio que él y Maria Grazia trabajan mejor como equipo, pero eso no significa ...

My gif (Video source: Bottega Veneta's yt channel) We still haven't seen all the ads for this season, but it's pretty clear that there are two campaign queens this season: Rianne von Rompaey and Julia Nobis. The campaigns they got (so far) are: Aún no hemos visto todas las campañas de esta temporada, pero está claro que hay dos reinas indiscutibles: Rianne von Rompaey y Julia Nobis. Estas son las campañas que han conseguido (de momento):  -->Rianne: LV (MG), BV (OG), HB (OG), Prada (MG, by Meisel) & Coach (MG, by Meisel)  -->Julia: Dior (OG, by Meisel), Givenchy (MG), Jil Sander (OG) & Valentino (MG, by Meisel) Today, I'm talking about 4 of those 5 major campaigns that Rianne got. She's such a star! Hoy hablaré de 4 de esas 5 mega campañas que ha conseguido Rianne. ¡Es una estrella! Louis Vuitton Fall/Winter 16.17: Rianne von Rompaey, Erika Linder, Natalie Westling, Jean Campbell, Selena Gomez, Luisiana Gonzalez & Sor...
