Weekend Style: Fashion Week in Milan + Vancouver

The camera doesn't lie, we've got some nostalgic pieces to look forward to next year. Not to say I was alive for 70s fashion, but this is one fashion trend that will have to be styled with care. Why not watch MFW live while you enjoy your cup of coffee and let me know your thoughts in the comments below?

The Butterfly Effect

Flocks of photogs, fashion bloggers, and design enthusiasts crowded the streets and stages of Paris Fashion Week. The grand gesture of Fall/Winter 2014 Ready-to-Wear collections wrapped this week, but there are collections that will leave us breathless through summer. One of those collections is from Zuhair Murad.

Murad released a beautifully crafted collection inspired from the butterfly. Notice the lines and the delicate detailing. His intense study of these Lepidoptera is apparent in the slim bodice, pronounced flare, and darting patterns. Only the finest detail encompasses the design-- Zuhair Murad's signature touch. A vision of feminine elegance that women have been thirsty for season after season.

 

With the weather as it is, it's perfect timing for Zuhair Murad's Fall 2014 RTW collection. Get lost in the butterfly effect, even if it's only in a daydream...

[ Vancouver Fashion Week Recap ] The Runway Is Golden

Looks from Goldie at Vancouver Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2014. 

There may be a buzz in Milan, but let's be honest, when my bff is walking the runway, chances are my excitement is going to shift to a time zone a little closer to home. As you know, last week dré walked for several shows in Vancouver Fashion Week. There were a couple designers in the line up that caught my eye for their ready to wear appeal.

Above I captured a few looks from London designer Goldie that had me saying, "Can I get that dress!?" Unfortunately, dré was too busy stealing the show to receive my telepathic plee. Le sigh. 

Love the look, but can't wait for spring? I don't blame you. Check out the Autumn 2013 collection here!

[ Inspire Me ]

Alice + Olivia Fall 2013 RTW

Fashion changes quite frequently and whether or not I choose to follow it trend by trend, I'm always being inspired by things around me. Watching fashion shows online, visiting Style.com, browsing my fashion magazines, visiting art galleries, or even just walking the historic streets of DC are ways that I stay fashionably inspired. How about you?
