HONESTLY : IT'S ABOUT TIME

ex Hugo Bosser, Bruno Pieters has launched the first honest fashion label. Honest by.

As are most humans alive today I am reluctant to trust the word honest.

it's not hard to top the fashion industries honesty in regards to a sustainable future for all mankind, but the fact that someone with money is making a whole-heart attempt is hopeful.

This is the first big name backed label that boasts total transparency, respect for animals and the environment.

I really dig the aesthetic of this particular collection, jil sander navy meets wool and the gang meets cos meets weekday.

its nice and i would wear it.

one to watch for shiz

The Celine Effect

celine has been setting the bar for sometime now. The foulard / paisley comeback + pajama dressing stems from a few memorable celine pieces that we all know and love.

weather its the full monte floral suity get up or just the black grounded floral moto jacket, these are some serious editorial favorites. I generally get extremely irritated when bogged down with spread after spread of the same stuff (we all remember the pages and pages of LV s&m kink of doily peter pan colors over molded sweater and leather waist-sinching belts, the oddles and oodles of givenchy pit bull and cougar printed jackets and skirts...you know; angry pastey model stands in junk yard amidst tv's she has just torched, flames to go with her unnaturally orange dye job. you know the one).

BUT, I think when magazines decide to dismiss the idea of attempting originality and stick to shooting the big items of the season its a really good chance to weed out the bad stylists from the good. In this post i've selected a bit of both just so we can get a feel for the contrast.

can you guess which ones i hate?

I like boy stuff #2

I actually should have called this post "I like girly boy stuff", because as you can see if i were a boy I'd do it up botanical style. Which in its self is interesting since as a girl i have but 1 floral top in my wardrobe, such has been the case for some years now.

Theres just something about florals and the y chromosome that make a sweet pair.

Every now and then a healthy dose of anti minimalism is good for my blood pressure average (which is normally unusually low).
