The IT List : Gold, Felder Felder, Chanel and the East

I have been coming across a number of things I simply must share , so I am starting a tradition.  The It List.a compilation of all the random things in the week I see & love.

The It
I.
GOLD

Vogue Italia highlighted the comeback of gold & just had to re-blog. Gold is back- so all you fools who sold yours for cash, you can cry now, pay later. I love gold- when it is done right. Gold compliments my skin tone, and since summer is coming soon (I was promised) , it will suit all the tans that will no doubt follow.

Vogue  Italia  Trend list

 It's no surprise that the Italians who have a heritage for opulent glamour are starting the campaign for the re election of gold. They have got my vote :)

 Something to keep you holding on till the sun shines: these gorgeous D&G sunglasses.

Felder Felder AW 13 at LFW

Sensational sisters Annette and Daniella Felder exploited what I love most about Autumn : the opportunity to experiment with textures, and colour whilst layering up against seasons changes. Inspired by the 70s, Felder Felder re-visited an era rich with texture, opulence, attitude and colour , and gave it a millennium makeover utilizing new fabrics to create  visually stunning combinations.

Chanel Lego Bag

Rumoured the 'IT bag' of 2013, Chanel's Lego Bag had to make it onto my it list. Now, I am not one to break the bank for a hand bag, but even I want this...so I guess I better bust out my old Lego set and get to work... :)

The STYLIST : Asia Edition

Asian Supermodel Miao Bin Si introduces herself to London with a stunning editorial for The Stylist. 

 I love to see Asian models in western media, in fact I love to see a healthy variety of multicultural  beauty represented in the fashion industry. With the dawn of the Chinese new year came a record amount of Asian models on the runway of LFW :This shoot celebrates progress for representing diversity in fashion.

Enjoy visual & cultural benefits by loving thy (global) neighbors...

INTO THE MET: ELSA SCIAPARELLI

PRIVILEGED Preview's

ELSA SCIAPARELLI AT THE MET

Italian designer Elsa Sciaparelli is what one would consider fashions elite, you know , the ones who, " shook hands with Sinatra" figuratively speaking. In fact the people she would have shaken hands with would be Coco Chanel, her greatest rival, and Christian Dior. Born in 1890, Schiaparelli's abstract designs took off around the 1930's. In many ways, her creations were ahead of her time, she took her inspirations were from surrealists- even collaborating with Salvador Dali.
She lived in a time of significant change in the world, politically and socially. Women were beginning to seek a voice and the world was at war. This climate undoubtedly contributed to difficulties of her business continuing... She had a specific identity and direction, her clothes were art, and in a time of rations, practicality and women at war perhaps her greatest rival was her integrity to her trade. She did not change with the demands of the climate and so her quality became a limitation- she lived in a world not quite ready to fully embrace the work of this great surrealist fashion visionary. She died in 1973. The Met has chosen to pay homage to this magnificent maverick, along side Prada. The exhibition features a section of imagined conversation between Schiaparelli & Prada's Miucca.

A quote is,"One must feel the trends of history and precede" 

 -her work- on show in exhibition, looks right at home in this futuristic generation.
