It’s Phoebe Philo’s turn at Céline to give her version of the contemporary woman. In shades of white, powder pink, gray, navy, new silhouettes appear in roundness. Everything was so effortless and so wearable. The collection gives pride to enveloping coats, lightly finishing in a trapeze with slits on the side and rounded sleeves. Not to forget the incredible shoes and accessories that deserve at least as much attention as the clothing. THE SHOES!

Back in November the 29-year-old designer was named creative director of Balenciaga and replaced Nicolas Ghesquière whose contribution to the fashion  house made  it what it  is today. There were many discussions surrounding his suitability for the role,  and whether he would be able to keep in step with the labels aesthetic. What he showed this morning at his runway debut for Balenciaga was impressive and not only proved himself to be ready for couture but also satisfied everyone attending the show.

Anna Wintour even said:

“I am very proud. It was such a restrained show. I thought everything was wearable, with obviously lots of bows to Balenciaga himself. I thought it was a very smart way to start, bu not giving too many fireworks.”

It has been eight years since H&M presented a runway show for its signature label. In 2013 the Swedish fashion retailer now decided to celebrate their runway comeback and showed their upcoming Autumn/WInter collection along Paris Fashion Week. With an elaborated show on the grounds of Musse Rodin, H&M gave all attendants the opportunity to take a glance at the collection for next Autumn, that offers a bold mix of classic silhouettes and feminine dresses. The clothes didn’t show anything that we haven’t seen at this fashion week but anyway managed to keep up with the ‘big’ ones.

Among the guests were Ashley Olsen, Chloe Moretz and Emma Roberts just to name a few. Take yourself a look at what happened yesterday by watching the video here above. Enjoy!

In what has become almost a seasonal tradition, Belgian designer Raf Simons and Eastpak revealed their fourth collaboration during Paris Fashion Week. On the catwalk we saw the iconic Eastpak backpack in silky jaquard decorated with an embroidered logo. The backpack’s blended extremely well with the runway collection whose theme was an artistic blend of patterns and shapes.

The Eastpak x Raf Simons collection will be available in six striped patterns and seven color blocks and is expected to hit stores in June 2013.

Stylish, functional, and modern clothing, that is how YMC founder Fraser Moss and Jimmy Collins describe the brand. Formed in 1995 YMC has became a highly significant design label for both men and women.

Here is a first look on the Spring/Summer collection 2013 from Object Without Meaning. Known for its use of only high quality materials the brand is representing the simplicity of materials and form.

The aesthetic is born out of ambivalence for our surroundings and an express need for energy, simplicity, and grace. We create a clean slate to be filled by only the most considered elements. Whereas fashions dictate the lives of masses, Objects Without Meaning leave the air clear for individuals to express their indicative nature. We accept the honesty of the present. We have no heritage, no story to tell. O-M represents nothing more than the beautiful simplicity of its materials and form.

For Spring/Summer 2013 O-M focussed on the wind element and will furnish a selection of colorful zip jackets, tees, and shorts. Not to forget its selection of jeans that just suit so well and become even more comfortable the longer you wear them. Check out our favourite pieces on the next page.

A few days ago we were showing you the extravagant ‘Hola-Hoop’ bag from Chanels Spring/Summer 2013 collection presented last week in Paris. The overall feedback was quite positive allthough nobody really knew how to use of the bulky handbag. Maestro Karl Lagerfeld himself now has the answer for you:

“You need space for the beach towel. Then you can put it into the sand and hang things on it.”

Watch the interview with Karl just above and get more insider information on the collection as well as an insight to his approach on creativity. Enjoy!

During Paris Fashion Week we took a look at the women’s fashion, showcased at the WOMAN show in the beautiful setting of Bastille Design Center. After the success of MAN shows during Paris men’s fashion weeks and men’s market weeks in New York, we can now share a few images from the event in Paris to give you an idea of what went down on Boulevard Richard Lenoir last week. The MAN (and now also WOMAN) team set up a very nice show with some up and coming designers as well as some top notch brands such as YMC, Folk, D.Efect, and Fred Perry.

Check out some images of the event on the next page and stay tuned for select looks from our favorite lines of the show.

During Paris Fashion Week, Miuccia Prada presented a rather wicked line for Miu Miu’s Spring 2013 collection. Coats made of latex, leather and denim over straight-line yet-lose-fitting skirts were heightened with paint-splash flower prints. Over-sized furs in various colors were more discreet, with colors made to blend with the clothing they covered. Once again a very female collection for the sophisticated women.

Take a glimpse at our favorite looks on the next page.

Could it be that Phoebe Philo’s Spring 2013  for Céline mark a trend towards a more comfortable side of fashion? While we highly doubt that women will give up their heels in lieu of mink slides, the nonchalance of the looks is kind of ballsy and refreshing. While the runway show will highlights the very desirable apparel hop over on the next page for some furry shoe and my favorite so far, the red painted toes pumps! via Style.
