Last night I attended the stunning showcase of Nicholas Oakwell’s Couture SS12 line at London’s Claridge’s hotel. For the designer’s second line, he found inspiration in the archives of the iconic jewellery house, Grima. The collection radiates 60′s and 70′s timeless glamour with luxury materials such as ostrich feathers and vivid gold alligator skins displayed alongside prints, beads [...]

By Reem in : Couture, Designers, Fashion Week, London // Jul 8 2011
There’s no name more exciting to hear next to the word Couture other than Jean Paul-Gaultier. I actually remember him being one of the first designers I had come familiarised with at the tender ago of 7 when my dream and aspirations of the fashion industry began.

This collection is Karl Lagerfeld’s and the House of Chanel’s tribute to Mademoiselle Coco Chanel, a re-invention of the classis tailleur and 1920′s elegance. The tweed jackets are what have me head over heels, double breasted, jewel embellished buttons, godets, Chanel has re-worked it’s fabulous staple piece to perfection.

By Reem in : Couture, Designers, Fashion, Fashion Week // Jul 6 2011
When I first went through this collection, I instantly felt an Oriental inspiration. It seems that Giorgio Armani has in fact taken inspiration from the Land of the Rising Sun, Japan to be more exact. Everything from the romantic floral prints, the minimalism of the tailoring and the sleek lengths and fabrics used throughout all exude a very Japanese [...]
