Colorful Brogues For Spring From Mary Katrantzou SS14
September 18th, 2013 by kpriss
Fashion is, once more, gravitating towards shoes. Forget the it status of a handbag, all eyes are now on the feet and on the soles.
Inexorably addictive, the power of the shoe holds me in its laces and squeezes me further into shoemania with every fashion show walking the runways of the world. Last week it was all about New York’s fashion week shoes, now it’s London’s fashion week shoes and tomorrow Milan. I’m stalking the shoes of the fashion week. Would you care to join me?
The spectacle of shoes was complete with Mary Katrantzou. But so it happens with her each and every time: once she’s into something, she’ll be twisting and turning it all the way! Can you believe her oh-so-famous and coveted prints were now about shoes? Yes! Shoes-dresses, shoes-pants. Shoes-skirts, shoes-tops! laces here, eyelets there, shoes on up, shoes on down.

Fabulous Shoes In Tom Ford Spring Summer 2014 Collection
September 17th, 2013 by kpriss
Need some seriously grown up footwear for the next summer? Here’s where you need to get your fashion inspiration from!
Watching yesterday’s Burberry Spring Summer 2014 collection during the London Fashion Week is exactly that: yesterday – next to the collection concocted by Tom Ford for the upcoming warm season! I believe that when he received the stylists recommendations reports which read ‘simplicity’ and ‘romantic’ he made a nice, warm chimney fire out of them! He brought in the leather armies and the lace soldiers to help him put together a very mature, confident sensuality which he then sprayed on paper and voila! Tom Ford Spring Summer 2014 just happened!
But let’s focus on the shoes: my God! have you seen those tanned t-strap leather sandals? I almost chocked while sipping on my fancy cup of green tea when I saw the leather tint and those metal details and metal high heels that look just like unfinished, alluring sentences! (more shoes after the jump!)

September 16th, 2013 by kpriss
Want to know fashion as it’s being made? Fresh off of the catwalk, the next season’s sandals for your eyes only!
The Burberry 2014 Spring Summer fashion show happened just hours ago and was self-explanatory for someone who would like a short debrief of the Spring Summer 2014 fashion trends: simple, really feminine and… did I say simple already? Rainbow hued sandals like these will surely be replicated in our dear street fashion chains (such as Zara or H&M) and we’ll try to keep an eye out for them. But until the moment we’ll add sandals like these to our wardrobe’s inventory, let’s take a closer look at the runway presentation and see the footwear we need for Spring Summer 2014!

Utilitarian Sandals (Birkenstock), The New Fashionable Sandals
September 10th, 2013 by kpriss
Downscaling high fashion or upscaling regular wear? I will be drawing a general conclusion as to what we’re expecting from the Spring Summer 2014 season in terms of main trends and style directions. However, until then, I am, malgre moi, in a witch hunt on the New York Fashion Week’s catwalks.
What I am chasing after? Sandals. Why? Because I’m simply trying to determine who’s who and who’s replica is better when it comes to the new utilitarian sandals walking up and down the catwalks of the next season. Models should be happy as these sandals do offer comfort before anything. But are we? How will we know which are the utilitarian sandals we knew and loved and which are the haute fashion utilitarian sandals?
I signaled the appearance of such footwear in the Trina Turk Spring 2014 collection presentation. Here I am again, on a case study talking about the Edun Spring 2014 runway.

Top 3 Spring Summer Nails From The Spring Summer 2014 Fashion Week {Tutorials}
September 10th, 2013 by kpriss
If you want to know what nail polish you need for your nails next spring and what nail art you have to wear, take notes! Part of the unexpected beauty of fashion is that you never know what to think and how to act. Its unpredictability is dictated by commercial reasons that are usually way above the fashion-loving crowd’s reach and understanding: do you remember when they tried to convince us that nail art was dead?
Lo and behold, the Spring Summer 2014 New York Fashion Week’s shows put on a gorgeous display of nail art we already love and wear. So if that’s what they say our nails should be wearing next year, I’m proud to announce all nails loving ladies out there that we’re oh-so-avantgarde! Let’s take a look at my NYFW nail selection so far and choose our avant-fashion nails with their respective nail tutorials!
{1} bright (BLUE) nails like the kind we’ve seen in the Whit Spring 2014 collection, the Peter Som Spring 2014 collection, the Veronica Beard Spring 2014 collection. Don’t be afraid to make your nails pop, ladies! Even it’s just for two weekend days or a quick getaway, make them nails shine bright with vivid neon colors in shades that hint at the beautiful ocean! (since I doubt you need any tutorial for solid color nails, I thought I’d leave this one out and focus on the following two – just hit the jump to see them!)
