Swedish fashion in the likes of Filippa K and Nudie Jeans, what's not to love?

Spring '08 Wrap-Up: Fashion Week Scene

Oh yay fashion week has begun.

I was going to look through the shows but The Sartorialist's genius street wear shots at style.com distracted me so.

Carine Roitfield, editor of French Vogue.
Love her style, she always manage to look chic and polished without being too meticulous.
What's the word now, oh right: Effortless.
And she smiles for photos too, I heard Anna Wintour's eyes glow scarlet red beneath those shades *shudder*.

Why hello Rachel Zoe, haven't seen you since that Nicole brat fired you.
I suppose her skin-and-bones advocation should be bad... but the woman knows what she's doing.
Her boho style works for her.

Other people I don't know who dress equally fab:

Another boho look but not as outwardly.
Love her Miumiu bag, and if I'm not mistaken those platforms are Prada's?
Anywho I'd kill for them.

Oh yeah, leather black hi-tops are love.
I know I just got myself the nerd glasses, but I like her grandpa square glasses as well.
Bah, I'll probably get shades from Fred Flare.

I didn't like overalls before but lately I've been looking at shirt overalls to pull off this exact Safari-like feel.

LV Carry-alls! Within a week, 2 people I know got LV Speedy's! *off to work on speech for mother about how worthy an investment the Speedy is*

Bah, what's the big deal. Besides I'm young! I should get Miu miu! Or Marc Jacobs! Or or JPG!

Or Louis Vuitton *drools*...

River Island Fashion Show

At the Cleo's Final Bachelor's Party, since River Island was an event sponsor, of course they had to force have some sort of River Island fashion show into the programme.

I've not been to River Island, which opened its first Singapore outlet in Vivocity, but I heard it's just a slightly more expensive version of Topshop or Forever 21.

I don't know whether it's because my attention was more focused on the guys [Bachelor party, HELLO] but I liked the guy's collection more than the girl's.

Which basically consist of typical outfits hoping to pass off as spectacular by distracting with a bunch of crazy hosiery.

I do love this look though.
Actually I think what I really love is the pair of luxe rich brown boots.

Right, the bachelors. I especially love the cardigan ensembles on the guys:

Yeah, they were workin' the cardigan.

The other looks that I liked:

My favourite of the lot would have to be this though:

Bad-ass leather jacket paired with preppy checkered pants. Very cool British.
