The Last Collection

Not one but two designers have left their fashion house this season. Stefano Pilati at Yves Saint Laurent presented a dark almost raw income last collection. Yesterday's confirmed that he will be replaced by Hedi Slimane. No stranger to the fashion world. He worked until 2007 for Dior Homme, subsequently to devote to photography. "Slimanes exceptional talent and his knowledge of the spirit of Yves Saint Laurent promises a new chapter in the history of the fashion house" said Paul Deneve, director of Yves Saint Laurent.

Raf Simons also said goodbye. With tears in his eyes he received the standing ovation. He presented a wonderful collection with a fifties feel. It was serene, poetic and pure. Was this a nod to his next employer?
Spoken about Dior: the fashion press is still not stopped speculate about who will be the new creative director and Dior has nothing confirmed. However, Haider Ackermann would have received a bouquet of Dior. Are these the 'welcome to Dior' flowers or maybe 'sorry that we've asked you' flowers. It remains a mystery while I'm getting more curious. And you?

Breaking News: Jil Sander for Jil Sander?

Raf Simons will show his last collection for Jil Sander tomorrow. The Belgian designer goes, if the rumors are correct, follow John Galliano at Dior. Jil Sander will take over the baton at Jil Sander after she abandoned her own label in 2005. Simons then took her place.
The fact is that we will have to wait to see or the rumors are true.

Round, Round

Round seems to be the new motto by the leading fashion designers when it comes to sunglasses. Designers such as Jil Sander and Giorgio Armani opted for a frame inspired by the well known glasses of John Lennon. Missoni opted for a version inspired by this.

Also stars are a huge fan of the sunglasses, think about Mary-Kate Olsen, Lady Gaga and Taylor Momsen.

And of course the man you can't miss in this post: John Lennon. 

Bright Side

My heart was beating faster when I saw this magnificent collection. The perfect use of colors, fabrics and shapes make this a collection to remember. Minimalism and simplicity are the magic words and perfectly implemented.

Minimalistic

Black, white, leather and camel clothes. This is all what a girl wants: a clean look!
