The result of two famous Italian brands’ collaboration, Kartell, which makes plastic contemporary furniture and fashion brand No. 21, are these “Knot” sandals. They are made of plastic in a glossy variation for the knot and are available in five colors: dusty pink, black, mustard yellow, khaki and burgundy.
The main highlight of this attention grabbing flats are their chunky soles. The plastic bow creates a balance in the look giving the flats a feminine touch.
Currently the flats are on sale and the retail price of these “Knots” is almost 185 euros. They are available at company’s flagship stores, online luxury platforms and in other fashion boutiques. For the next season Kartell promises a launch of bag series in collaboration with French brand - Christian Lacroix in two sizes and five tones.
Vintage invaded into the denim category of outfits bringing the MOM jeans, split front midi skirt, Canadian tuxedo, dungarees and denim culottes back into the trendy lifestyle. The denim trend stole the street style of fashion capitals during the fashion weeks in 2016. The skinny jeans, jeggings are no more “cool”; they are slightly being replaced by wide-leg, loose-fit, pale-rinse denim or high-waisted jeans.
We believe that the culottes, boyfriend cuts, MOM jeans are the next big trend. Other new trends have blossomed in parallel. Wardrobe pieces such as the midi skirts, crop tops, robe coats, ankle booties are a great combination with the above mentioned denim items.
Some mass market fashion retailers, which were aware of the new style trend boom, have already updated their collections. For the ones who look for MOM jeans we recommend to search them in Topshop, Asos or Bershka. If you are eager to spend more for better quality and ideal fit, then the premium line of Levi’s called ReDone will be a perfect choice. Another luxury brand - Vetements denim (French brand) was widely worn by “It” girls during the FW 2016 in New York, London, Milan and Paris. Vetements denim stands out for its simple design: raw, stepped hems, the removed pockets and the dark patches.
The soft and cool shades are the recommended ones for the wardrobes of this year. Trendy colors list includes pale pastels: lemon, lilac, mink, mint, sky blue and nature-like neutrals. The bright color choices are minimized. We are reminding that the pale colors are perfect fit with the tan skin at summertime.
The patterns are those tricks which are providing more value, complexion and character to the outfit. They vary and usually reflect the mood of a certain topic. In other words patterns may report the inspiration source of the creator or designer.
Every year the trends of pattern design changes, but the classic ornaments do not leave the fashion. For many fashion lovers the so called checkered pattern is always actual.
The flower print is supposed to be tropical and it will hardly stop being trendy. The dress with flower print definitely adds a portion of resplendence and elegance in a look.
One of the most fashionable fabrics of this year is considered to be the velvet. Velvet looks stunning in any design and can be used for any piece of the clothing. Moreover, this material gives an added value to the designed items. Any color of velvet looks valuable and rich, but personally for me the preferred colors of this fabric are forest green, neon blue and definitely burgundy. Recently the light pink velvet appeared to be stylish and modern as well.
Encountering a bright object to take a street style photo is no more rare in our days. However, the place where you will meet her/him for photo shoot will define your photo content.
The photo background is as important aspect as the showy object. It may not play a big role in some cases: for instance if the photographer is fixed on a detail that the model is wearing and all the focus is on it.
Still the shoots of the object combined with the city decor are interesting and sapid.
What do we understand under the concept of the “city decor” ? Instead of mentioning several objects such as buildings, nature, cars I would present it as a story. Every photo taken with a certain background tells a story of that environment, routine, habbits, traditions and so on. Also the objects speak confirming the “story” and impressions.
This photo shows the typical Milanese heritage, the intense existence of art and fashion.
Share with us the story that the photo tells you about.
Italian men are known as some of the most well dressed in the world. Compared to the men of other nationalities for Italians the style is more important while dressing up. Italians raise going to tailors so that they keep their focus on the details and style.
Italy has many regions which share common points and traditions but at the same time they appear with a lot of differences. These differences influence on language, cuisine (we know how particular is the Italian food in each region of the country) and of course fashion and style.
For instance, there is a huge difference between Roman and Neapolitan jackets styles. The northern silhouette is more simple (no additional details) and tends to show more minimalism compared to the southern style. The Neapolitan jackets (aka spalla camicia) are all about details and design which makes them appear princely.
Usually the Italian suits are designed with a higher gorge. Especially in the southern part of the country (Napoli and Sicily) they make the jacket’s gorge higher. This makes their work and style recognizable.
What makes the Italian style that desired are the details. The trust on the well designed elements generates a style education and even a bit fashion addiction in a person. The man in style is the synonym of self confidence and high profile.
Street fashion does not recognize rules. In order to appear eye stroking at the street and catch views you do not need to think that the pink eye-wears you put on does not match with your red or orange jacket. Dare making mismatches.
The trends usually born from this kind of mismatches and at the end they become fashion.
Here there are presented the brightest looks that the street fashion photographers’ cameras captured in Moscow during the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week.
Mint entered in the trendy colors list not that long time ago. The associations with this color are various. I associate it with the French macarons, some others call it Tiffany blue relating it with the box color of the brand. It can be explained also as a blue color of chalk on the blackboard.
The shades of this color are various and each of them requires unique pairing in terms of combination. I like combining a certain shade of mint (pastel green) with ruby red. It may sounds unusual but it looks really chic and slender, especially when you have tan skin.
Usually people mix the mint with other pastel colors such as mink, lilac or peach. Mint is an impressive fit with grey as well.
Mint is a proper spring color. It expresses freshness and delicacy and seasons your look tastily.
This year the street fashion stars appeared on the open air runway in fashion capitals wearing this color widely. The images show how they dared to combine this color to appear stylish.
The men wearing capes are somehow associated with supermen or other superheroes such as Zoro. Personally I consider it as a style which came from Romans. Since fashion has firm roots and history, let’s note that we have inherited a lot in terms of style and wearing attitude from the ancient Romans.
During the severe weather or for fashion reasons Romans were wearing garments such as cloaks or capes pinned at the shoulder, fastened down the front or possibly pulled over the head. They were mostly made of wool, though some of them were silky or made of leather.
Although the capes are trendy nowadays, very few men dare wearing them and appear in public places. On the other hand in some fashion capitals such as Milan you can see many street fashion lovers who break the stereotypes wearing them.
Recently I met Italian Carabineri in Milano wearing uniforms including cape by Valentino. During the Milan fashion week they seemed to be part of the city runway participants.
While looking through the fashion magazines you have definitely noticed the pictures of girls who are called it - girls. The term “it - girl” is widely used in the fashion world. But where does it come from and who are these it girls, what are they doing?
Actually they do nothing. Their job is to spend money on themselves to look stylish, well dressed, cared and participate in events, fashion shows in order to appear in fashion news, gossips, blogs and magazines achieving many followers and fans.
Most of these girls usually organize charity funds in order to appear somehow useful.
In USA and Europe this term is rarely used. This is because of the origin that the term has.
The term “it - girl” appeared in 1920s thanks to the American writer Elinor Glyn. In 1927 there was a film based on the story of her book - "It", the hero of which was a typical it - girl. The term became very popular. In fact, the this label meant to describe several features such as rich idler, fashion and trends addicted etc. In other words the term refers to an attractive young woman who receives intense media coverage unrelated or disproportional to her personal achievements.
Mainstream fashion usually gets influenced of street fashion looks and adopts street fashion trends in order to create own collection or line. This continuously happens during decades.
During the 80s the fashion lovers widely integrated in their world the luxury clothing and accessories. The looks usually appeared to be bright and playful.
Women created an image of wealth and beauty through bright costumes, large gold earrings, necklaces of pearls and sequin or diamond clothing.
Simultaneously the punk fashion was getting formed against the hippie movement.
The print of stripes and polka dots persistently remained in fashion till now.
How to break the volume of white or other plain colors in an outfit?
Here are some sharp looks which will guide you while searching in your wardrobe.
Initially there are colors which are recommended to be used with small portions while creating an outfit. Those colors are usually appearing bright and stubborn in terms of combinations. For me one of those colors is red. So, while using red usually I am thinking how to minimize its volume on me. For this reason I mainly choose accessories in these color and combine them with a neutral and plain clothing.
The girl in the picture has shattered the white boredom only with a tenuous touch of red scarlet hat.
The white fur coat reforms any simple outfit making it chic and feminine. The fur keeps staying trendy and widely dressed during the fashion weeks by the real street fashion lovers.
Black and white are a forever couple. Add a small portion of brightness and hit the street.
Wear all black and put on a white massive coat over. This can seem artless, but elegant.
The picture taken during the fashion week in Paris is extraordinarily powerful. Personally I do notsupport the 100 % usage of mono color in an outfit. I am even more careful whenit comes to red, considering red itself as a stubborn complexion and risky in color scheme.
However I will go against my principles mentioning that the woman looks simply chic with this varnished cape highlighted with an aggressive design and combined incompatibly.
It might be the accent of the innovative design which gave an eloquent character and expressive language to this look making it to speak up. This combination contains a temperament which won’t leave anyone unaffected.

Create a cutting edge wardrobe season upon season following the trends. This cut out chunkies are awesomely suiting with boyfriend jeans and not only. To create a contrast but at the same time bold outfit wear them with a dress of lace material or with a skater skirt.
This combination will definitely ravish the street. Always give try when it comes to this kind of combinations, they usually have success.
Last fashion touch of Paris got over literally few days ago. The fact how Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson rocked the catwalk of Valentino, how Chanel Prêt-à-Porter taken place in brasserie shocked the audience, convinced us once more that Paris is the land of fashion. Summarized looks from last days of PFW are here:
The girls wearing pieces from last collection of Valentino, Chanel, Chloé, Céline and other French brands were simply breaking the crowd with their looks.
In fashion attention to the details is more than important.Buying the right shoe, bag, hat or other accessories require a style sense and knowledge of trends. Because of an exceptional accessory you may become a queen of street fashion. Think about this exciting opportunity while updating your wardrobe.
I'd like to introduce you to the summer shoes which are known as Arizona sandals. At first sight these summer-friendly flats may seem strange and problematic in terms of right combination but they became too much trendy entering into the lifestyle of street fashion. The street style lovers combine it not only with sporty trousers or shorts but also with elegant dresses, skirts or blazers, bombers and even trench coats.
These shoes will take you anywhere, no matter where you go: to concert, market or for a date. For these type of sandals the recommended brand is The Birkenstock. Refresh your summer style following the trends.
