L'art de la mode

Hi guys, I appologise for the lack of posts lately - sixth form has been taking over my life *shock*. So recently it was London Fashion Week and The Burberry Prorsum highlighted FW it was a beautiful show, Christopher Bailey took the plunged and paired reality with pure romanticism; combining Birkenstock- sandals with box- like denim jackets in the colour with a soft lilac suede creating an explosion of colour.
The look for SS15 was not the traditional trench coat but in fact a denim trench coat; think 80's subculture teamed with PVC leather lapels and a sheer tulle belt worn over transparent nude chiffon. The girls wore everything to fluffy fur coats to suede jackets with a slick vinyl collar. It captured the artisan approach which burberry had to offer; the make up was beautifully simple the models had a soft look combining with a touch of red lipstick creating the pure romanticism.

The Burberry show took place at Kensington Gardens; feeling secluded and removed from reality being able to soak up everything Burberry has to offer and really being able to be engrossed into the beautiful show which holds in front of you.

Hello all, hope everything is well; today Cornwall was surprisingly sunny which was brilliant! Recently i expressed my love for fashion, now i will be expressing my love for i-D magazine. The British magazine was found by a former Vogue (another FANTASTIC magazine) art director Terry Jones in the 1980s. Personally what i love about i-D is not only does it dedicate itself to fashion it expands and dedicates itself to everything linked to fashion such as, art, music and youth culture. I find that the magazine is so popular because it has 'a bit of everything' which people have an interest in. i-D magazine has evolved over the years into a 'mature' glossy magazine but still has retained street style which is loved by its readers.

The magazine is well known for inventing The Straight up which is a documentary style of photography pioneered by Terry Jones. The Straight up is a West country expression meaning "tell it as it is" portraying the unexpected photographs of which i-D would pick people out from the street and it would follow by a Q&A. The winky smile, as soon as we see the winky smile most people instantly think of i-D. If its not winking then a streak of the models hair or a prop is their to cover one of the eyes. It creates such a unique branch of their magazine which makes their magazine so recognizable and individual.

Hello everyone, hope all is well! FASHION - one of my favorite things in the entire world; there are so many aspects to it which just make j'adore fashion. Watching the fashion weeks which are spread across the world are to me so exciting; you never really know what to expect every fashion week is so unique. London fashion week always is quite edgy, bold and diverse such as Burberry each season fashionistas fall in love with their collection; the classic trench coat each year is reinterpreted into something fresh and unique. 
Christopher Bailey called the prorsum " The Bloomsbury Girls" inspired by the artsy, crafty literature people such as Virginia Wolf who in fact inhabited the Bloombury quarter of London and Charleston house in East Sussex. "Anything that moved they painted it"tying in with why the flowers were hand drawn and smothered everything to dresses, jackets and ponchos. Personally this was one of my favorite falls, everything worked perfectly together; giving it a romantic and cozy feel. Even though the patterns were very bold and almost quite tribal Burberry always contains that very Bristish feel to the clothes.The show was exquisite.
