Trendspotting: Broad Stripes

H+M Waste Collection

Like always, Prada is trendsetter for the coming seasons. This year's trend: broad stripes. Acne or H+M couldn't buck the trend, so they have already absorbed the broad stripes for their collection.

So, this is Haute Couture?

On Monday, designer Karl Lagerfeld presented his Haute Couture collection. But it didn't really look like Haute Couture. Here some photos:

Jeans combined with Tweed-Blazer and Ballerinas? Very usual. But: the devil is in the details. Lagerfeld used "more than 10 million pearls, crystals and sequins".

Lagerfeld explained: "Workaday life doesn't need opulence. My collection catches the spirit of young women but it is still haute couture. Today, everybody wears jeans. So, I had to adapt my designs."

But what about models wearing flat shoes?

"I was fed up seeing the models walking like the Eiffel Tower on this 15 cm to 20 cm chopines. They really look disabled"

I ♥ my boyfriend [cut]

Last summer, I was desperately in search of the perfect boyfriend jeans. But I went away empty-handed. Poor me. But I won't give up, so after sale I pursue my boyfriend jeans. They look so sporty combined with a simple shirt. Or even classy with high heels and a blazer. The perfect it-piece for every occasion.
How do you like the look?

Kaviar Gauche at Berlin Fashion Week

The eyecatcher of Berlin Fashion Week 2011 and one of my favorites is Kaviar Gauche. With bright colors, lace and a whiff of 70's Alexandra Fischer-Roehler and Johanna Kühl designed a very classy collection. I like.

By the way: Does anyone know the song?? I really like it, too.

What is wrong with these pictures? Tip: Look at the hair-do.

Maybe you've already noticed that the hairstylist of AF Vandevorst really wanted to make something different with the hairdo at Berlin Fashion Week 2011. But it stands to reason that he did that as AF Vandevorst's Friends collection opened the runway show. Since January 19th, more than 25 fashion designers present their fall/winter collection 2011.Until Saturday, shows will be running non stop.

This time the Belgian husband-wife team Filip Arickx and An Vandevorst set the trend with earthy brown and shiny red nuances. In Fall/Winter 2011 we'll see how far this trend will be realized.

Fashion Cupcakes - more than tasty ♥

"Fashion is addictive, and oftentimes insatiable. For those who need to satisfy their hunger, there are these fashion-inspired cupcakes created by photographer Therese Aldgard and food stylist Lisa Edsalv. Working with colors and themes from high-end designers, the team created sweets to suit the brands: Chanel features black frosting and white pearl adornments, Louis Vuitton is chocolate frosting with red roses, and Louboutin, is an appropriate red cake to mirror the soles of the shoes. Our favorite is naturally the Agent Provocateur-style, with vanilla frosting adorned with a pink tip to resemble nipples. You may not be able to find these treats for purchase, but looking at them is enough eye candy." [© thefrisky.com]

New Lookbook by Opening Ceremony

Opening Ceremony Lookbook mit Lindsey Wixson

The motto of Opening Ceremony this spring: a little bit of the 70's mixed with french stripes and salsa-rhythm. With Lindsay Wixson and photographer Terry Richardson, the brand created a really colorful lookbook. But it's a moot point whether fashionistas know how to combine these fringed dress slit tops and skirts. Maybe you have a look at Marc Jacob's designs this season as he probably is Opening Ceremonies role model for their new collection.

Spirit Hoods # The random novelty accessory

"Whether you love fashion, adventure, animals, music, festivals, nightlife, the outdoors, or are simply wild at heart – SpiritHoods are a NECESSITY for your life style." [SpiritHoods]

Do you remember the post on Monday about hats as a must-have this season? Well, while surfing

on the internet I found an extraordinary website called Spirit Hoods. And their designs are awesome. The manufacture created a "unique line of animal inspired faux fur accesories for men, women, and children."

With its designs, Spirit Hoods protects animals and our planet by donating a portion of the online proceeds to severeal non-profit organisations dedicated to wildlife conservation. [Product Blue]

Whichever animal hood you decide to purchase, a part of your money will be donated to a NGO helping that specific animal - whether it be Wolfhollowipswich, PandasInternational or snowleopardconservancy.

Which animal hood do you like best?? Please comment.

How-to Fashion Sketch by Threadbangers

"Don't think you can draw? Fooey! Give it a try! "

"You can leave your hat on*

# Who'd a thunk it? Hats are the must-have this season!! Chapeau.

Since Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen wore their Mickey Mouse Ears and Rabbit Ears at the Opening Ceremony Tokyo flagship store in August 2009, the lust for headdresses relumed.

And not only the Parisian hatter Maison Michel experienced a comeback:

The looks fit like a glove: A red carpet event, little black dresses, Prada high-heels and big sunglasses. On top of that two extravagant headgears designed by Maison Michel out of filament and black lace. The eye-catchers of the evening.

Like always, a few freaky, offbeat fashionistas are needed to create a trend. And this one fortunately extends into Spring 2011. Since Fall/Winter 2010/11, many brands designed some creative hat-trends. I had bought myself a grey one last season, but to be honest, I haven't worn the hat yet.

The reason might be that the trend didn't arrived on the streets yet 'cause people are afraid to have a go at wearing hats in everyday-life. Me too?? The only thing I know: The designers did a great job. And I have to take my hat off to them.
