If Paris is the grand-daddy of fashion weeks then in that respect, the shows do sometimes forces me to reassess my maturity in my own style aesthetic (or lack of maturity…). What with everyone clamouring for reductive, minimal yet beautiful things (spreaking of which, read about my Celine woes on Twitter…), I can't help but be seduced. Still, even when faced with stunner pieces like this coated cable knit cape from the Vionnet A/W 10-11 collection, I'm thinking a ton of acrylic jewellery of the Michelle Jank ilk and some mixed floral prints going on underneath could be good. I just can't hold back and wear the I'm using Vionnet as one of many examples that no doubt, I'll try and catch up yonks after fashion week because of the dead eyes.
I also loved this velvet ruched criss-cross fronted dress that in the spirit of the young uns' meets grown-ups go over a plethora of too-bright bodies…
Other Vionnet bits…I loved the graffiti effect of this painted lace…
Yes, fur fur fur is everywhere and ethics aside, I'm more interested in techniques being pushed within the use of the material as opposed to walloping a large dose of it in a fluffy giant yeti coat. Vionnet's CD Rodolfo Paglialunga has placed it in little swatches on a sheer silk chiffon base which of course means more complicated layering options on my part…
Oh and a whole post could be dedicated just to the interior of Jean Cocteau's apartment where the presentation was held…. Highly.Desirable.Wallpaper.Alert
I adore the velvet dress, kind of Topshop mixed Burberry last season. I think I need that in my life…

that velvet dress is gorgeous. i was getting bored of the current velvet fad but this has perked me up somewhat!
The velvet dress and the lace are both really lovely <3 I'm not really a fan of the fur though.
I hope you never grow-up when it comes to what clothes you wear, I love the outfits you put together.
I love the sweater in the top picture!
love love the velvet dress
I’m a sucker for velvet and great wallpaper!
velvet ruching scares me, it says school party in 1993, weave your own paper party food mat and have a boy from the opposite class spill a bright red fizzy drink on crushed velvet leggings… but the cutaway effect is a nice one, and a look i intend to harness while it’s in and before it comes back around again and i’m possibly too ancient to pull it off.

Wallpaper alert indeed! Looks like my ideal house.
Fabulous velvet dress, I was beginning to get slightly bored of, but the criss-cross front has brought velvet back into my head! The wallpaper is wonderful too, can I have some for my flat?!

Oh that velvet dress. it is GO RGE OUS
Ahhh two of my favorite things in one garment, cable knit and capes! To me this looks more like a poncho though, or are the words interchangeable depending on where you live?
