With today being the last day of Paris Fashion Week, which also marks the last day of fashion month, there’s a lot we can talk about — the best collections, how we wish Brasserie Chanel was a real restaurant, trends, beauty looks, etc. Today, I want to discuss street style. But not who was wearing what, or where you can get the look bur rather…what were they thinking?
Maybe only Chicagoans will understand that title but I just have to throw it out there that I made a sports reference here on CCF (and my sports knowledge barely goes beyond Michael Jordan). Anyway, this post has nothing to do with sports (unless you consider fashion week a sport…which it very well could be). Moschino sent yet another buzz-worthy collection down the runway last week, but it’s not just the teddy bears and Looney Tunes references that has everyone talking…
Ever see a collection and wonder where it all began? The inspiration? The sketches? If not, it is something to think about. It’s funny when you actually get to hear or see some of the inspiration, you would have never guessed it had anything to do with the collection. Other times, it makes perfect sense. So today, with it being day one of NYFW, we’re going to look at some designers and what inspired their Fall 2015 collections you’ll be seeing this fashion month.
There’s something about men’s clothing that we love…the t-shirts are softer, everything’s a bit big on us (which leaves more room for dessert), and for some reason it feels extra cool to mix in a bit of menswear into our lady closets. But we can’t borrow everything from the boys…
Fashion Weeks happen all over the world, but we mostly just pay attention to the big four — New York, London, Paris and Milan (and maybe a few others like Australia and Copenhagen in between). Now did you know there was a Russia Fashion Week (and it’s been going on for 15 years)? Neither did I. But with street style stars like Miroslava Duma and Elena Perminova becoming household names and designers like Ulyana Sergeenko and Vika Gazinskaya on the rise…it’s time we take notice of the fashion happening in Russia.
