FASHION HAS GONE WILD

The Burberry Prorsum fashion show is probably the one that best describes this fashion trend.

Animal prints are a must have!

Usually, I would tell you to be careful with the amount of animal prints you wear in only one look, but this season you are a bit more free to play around with it and have some fun.

Just pay attention to the accessories you choose, so it does not get too tacky.

GOODBYE YVES

I know it has already been a while since Yves Saint Laurent changed its iconic name to Saint Laurent Paris, but I couldn't pass one more day without expressing my sadness.

I know fashion is all about changes but a name is a name.

Who did not love the YSL logo on totes and clutches?

If the "Y" is not there anymore, how is it going to be? Only "SL"? Or "SLP"?

Paul Deneve, the CEO of the brand, justified the change by saying it is a celebration of their "legacy and heritage, while boldly marking their ambition for the future". He also claimed that the change will allow them to "return the fundamentals of YSL and revive the spirit and the intentions that reigned over the creation of "Saint Laurent Rive Gauche' in 1966: principles of youth, freedom and modernity".

I guess we will just have to get used to say "Saint Laurent" and say goodbye to the "Yves".

HAVE A GREAT WEEK, EVERYONE!

MR OR MRS COAT?

When I am asked what are the trends for this season, I always start by the coat and everybody stares at me like if I am stupid and in their minds there is this thought: "how could a coat not be a trend during winter?"

The thing is that, when you are into fashion as I am, or when your job is related to fashion, you see things changing. This year's coat is not last year's coat. Things change, but the changes are so little that you can barely tell the difference.

And because the differences are so little, for those of you who bought a coat last year, just wear it.

But for those of you who are considering of buying a new one, here are the two options you have:

On the one hand - there are the male coats which are bigger than your regular size and have straight lines which confers a very structured appearance to them - on the other hand, there are the girly coats which accentuate the women's curves; these are usually worn with a belt emphasizing the waist.
Both types of coats can be seen at almost any store, but the girly one is particularly seen at expensive stores.

FEMALE COAT

Marc Jacobs; Valentino

It is true I only mentioned these two types of coats but there are much more trends related to overcoats, especially when it comes to colours.

If you are a fashion risk taker, here are some suggestions for your next coat:

HAVE A NICE SATURDAY!

Dear Readers,

We are so sorry we have been out of touch.

Since the announcement of our new blog, both blogs have been stopped.

Our pause was either due to summer holidays and to the adaptation to a new stadium of our lives: The University.

Now that everything has (sort of) settled down, we are back in business.

Regards,

DSTONE Crew
