The workings of the fashion industry clock

moves to its own set timing and scheduling:

wonderfully whacky, wholly out of sync

to the normal pace of things.

It is a chronology on a constant warp-speed trajectory.

 

…

Go with the marvelous manic flow and

embrace future looks into present wear.

It may currently be Summer 2015

but for those on fashion watch

it’s already time to position the wardrobe dial to Summer 2016.

 

The collections for fun-in-the-sun

resort wear 2016 are now showcased.

Integrate a few pieces into present styling:

be of the moment in the looks of tomorrow.

So much is so right

with Pablo Coppola’s  autumn 2015 collection for Bally.

Since his arrival to Bally just one year ago,

the designer has reinvigorated the 150 year old label.

Key to the beauty of the collection is its

vibrancy of colour: olive greens, passion purples

and variety of fabrication:  leather and faux fur.

The impeccable styling, an embrace to Italian sprezzatura,

clinched the looks as sartorial stand-outs.

B/W – wear (black/white colouration)

24 Thursday Oct 2013

Posted by meappropriatestyle in black/white wear, colourspeak, street wear sass

≈ Leave a comment

clothing: black/white colour theme, clothing: silhouette emphasis

Amidst the fashion vogue of kaleidoscopic dress

black/white (b/w) –  wear

remains a staple colour combination.

Classic yet versatile –

a colour pairing that is understated,

emphasising structure and silhouette

effortlessly translated into the language of

cool, contemporary, creative

design and styling.
