Gucci - off the grid

In the last decade reusable materials have really been the focus of many within the fashion landscape. With Ralph Lauren pioneering this incentive by  introducing the 'Earth polo' incentive which has removed nearly 8 million bottles from the ocean, and recycled them into shirts. Gucci has officially jumped on this bandwagon with their newest collection, 'The sustainable collection'. Personally, i am really impressed with high fashion labels doing their best to really emphasis the global issue of recycling. The incentive by Ralph Polo was a real game changer in this landscape.  It was this driving force that really changed Gucci's new collection 'bringing positive change in order so secure our collective future'. The new collection is titled Gucci equilibrium - and it is their commitment to generate positive change for people and our planet. With a low key feel to each new piece created and in hughes of burnt organge, black and yellow this new collection comp...

Why Louis Vuittons Never full never fails.

The Neverfull is arguably Louis Vuitton's best selling bag. Not only because it is the most iconic in its monogramed prints, but it is the most recognisable bag because so many women have it on their arm. From new mum baby bags to the ever faithful work bag. Louis Vuitton managed to create a chic bag that fills almost everybodies needs.  i love that the Neverfull can fit so much, yet still maintain an elegant stylish feel about it. On the outside i have a designer bag on my shoulder, while inside i have my packed lunch, notebook, wallet and a book. My whole life fits in that one bag. It's convenient, it's flexible and most important it is a bag that grows with you throughout your life changes.  The price tag is not too steep as far as designer bags are concerned, sure the Neverfull will set you back $2000 but it is well worth it for a bag that can last through your different phases of life. With all these great qualities, it's not hard to see why the Neverfull is litera...

Dior proves COVID doesn't stop fashion

As this week marks arguably one of the most important weeks in the couture calendar, there is a tinge of sadness in the air. With current constraints the idea of hundreds of people cramped into convention centres and buildings was an unfathomable possibility. With usual catwalk shows on hold due to social distancing measures and  ateliers undergoing closures for periods of time, designers have been scrambling to adapt to this new modern world.  Enter digital fashion shows that not only showcase the most expensive fashion in the world, but also completely innovating the idea of brings couture for the masses.  Dior was the first notable couture company that dazzled the masses with their first ever fashion show. While it may seem strange for most to be watching the likes if designer Maria Grazia Chirui, completely wow the greater population with her latest collection. I for one loved this new idea, because someone like me, who isn't a fashion model, influencer of notable nam...

Valentino summer collection has me pottering the future

Valentino’s summer collection can be thought of as nothing but inspiring. With its soft silhouette pallet and heavy influences from Dutch potter motifs the soft pallet of this new collection are stunning to say the least.  The different Hughes of cerulean blue mixed with optic white, has my mind racing to the gorgeous Mykonos coast line. This collection comprises of  Stunningly light day dresses and skirts that fit seamlessly into any Mediterranean coast resort, and shift harmoniously into night time couture.  I love this colour pallet, it’s so fresh and vibrant and it really breathes light and airy. Perfect for the hot summer ahead. It really takes the term “I found love in Mykonos” to a whole new level. With delicate blue orchids, peacock feathers and various different flowers from ancient pottery vase print, it’s easy to fall in love with the stunning print that encapsulates this collection.  Whilst this collection does remind me slightly of my grandmothers China ...

A season-less movement for Luxury big names

The start of a new season signals to ever die heart fashionista of a whole new plethora of clothing, handbags, jewellery and shoes to add to our collection. I love watching the new season reveals, streaming fashion runways, perusing the new collection on the computer and watching influencers don the latest by my favourites. Seeing what direction the designer is taking the brand for the next few months, the colours, the contrasting shapes and the innovative creative takes on already staple items, are highlights for seasonal releases.  So i can say that i was shocked to hear Gucci's creative director, Alessandro Michele announce in an instagram statement that the multi billion dollar fashion brand has decided to, 'abandon the worn-out ritual of seasonalities and shows to regain a new cadence'. For me, Seasonalities were the staple behind luxury designer brands showcasing the newest creation and collection that adapts to the season at hand. However, being an Australian, the...
