Women Power Suits Are Back!
Last week Lady Gaga made a blast with a speech on her decision to wear trousers instead of red carpet frocks, yesterday Julia Roberts attended the InStyle event in Los Angeles wearing a pink trousers and jacket combination, during these days trip to Australia Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex chose a trousers suit for one of her public appearances.
In our time in the fashion industry where most men (creatives and managers) dictate the trends and the moods, where the fuss of no gender means having catwalks full of people dressed in the most ridiculous way, some of the most influencing and powerful women are going their way. In a different way. The choice of the power suit is meaningful.
Because men tend to be more relaxed (and shabby?), casual and street style followers. Because women, taking decisions for themselves are pushing back the "siren" stereotype and are imposing a look that is miles away from the one of the "trophy woman". They are choosing shapes and cuts that give them a "feel good" sense. That make them feel empowered subjects instead of compliant objects. And that's definitely a good move.

12 Trends As Seen At NYFW ( So Far)
GET THE SCOOP
Fashion Week in New York is not even over, and the trends of the season are already showing. We wanted to take you through 12 trends we already noticed on the runway.

EMBELLISHED ACCESSORIES
Some say more is less, and others say more is MORE. These designers turned up the volume to their looks with shoes, hats, and even beaded wigs that made their shows anything but basic.

UNIQUE SCARFS
There is definitely more than one way to wear a scarf, and we think the designers of NYFW, have maximized the scarves potential with puffer scarfs, fun prints, leather, and monograms.

PARISIAN & VICTORIAN INFLUENCE
Nothing says lady like more than a little Victorian and Parisian influence. Lace, broaches, berets, and scarfs fit for a view of the Eiffel tower.

POPPY PUFFER JACKETS
This ain't your Mama's parka. These puffer jackets have spunk, with fun details and colors.

PASTELS IN FALL
Pastels are not just for Spring.

MILLENNIAL PINK'S NOT DEAD
Someone said that Millennial pink is dead, but it keeps popping up everywhere. We are here to say IT'S ALIVE and fly.

MODEST FASHION
Modesty is a woman's choice, and designers took to the runway to show modesty can be super chic.
Vivi Zubedi, B. Zarina at Oxford Fashion Studios, Anveglosa at Fashion Hong Kong
OFF THE SHOULDER
Sexy off the shoulder looks were everywhere
Jef Albea Couture at Oxford Fashion Studios, Dan Liu, Colour By Nandi Madida at Oxford Fashion Studios
CAT EYE SUNNIES
Meow...these geometric cat eye sunglasses, deserve a second look. While cat eye sunglasses may not be something new, the geometric wiring and variation of size and hue, make these the shades to watch.

VELVET
Nothing says fall like a good cozy velvet. First the Juicy tracksuit came back, now velvet is being reimagined into beautiful dresses, and luxe peacoats.
Vivi Zubedi, Harrison Wong at Fashion Hong Kong
BURGUNDY LEATHER
With Valentines day around the corner, burgundy leather seems to be making it's way into designer'd heart.

The Balenciaga Triple-S Ugly 'Dad' Sneaker is the IT shoe
Will you wear it?
The Balenciaga Triple S is the sneaker of the month. Sneakerheads, fashionistas, and those looking to make a big statement are going 'ga ga' for the ugly 'dad shoes. Bella Hadid pumps gas in $850 Balenciaga 'Dad' shoes
Photo courtesy TMZ
Triple S because of its triple-stacked sole and perhaps because it comes with a price tag of $720 (psst Zara’s imitation is much cheaper). The shoe is flying of the shelves like crazy even though it costs some people's rent.
There is no doubt Balenciaga is hip, rad, cool and trendy, but Triple S is no for everyone.
Winter Fashion Guide | Bloggers Edition.

by Karina Kurani
2017 is coming to an end, unbelivable but true. Here are our winter style suggestions inspired by european bloggers and influencers.
BOHEMIAN CHIC
Creamy color tones are perfect to wear in the winter! A simple and elegant dress is good for both a casual and formal outing. Also notice the sparkling bohemiman detail on the dress. This instantly gives it a more festive feel, a plain dress would be better worn in an office setting. The fur coat on top compiments the dress, oh and let's not forget about the bag : nice touch!
CASUAL WITH A TWIST
We all want to be extra comfrotable and wear something cosy in the winter. That's why knitted sweaters become our best friends! Knitted cardigans and sweaters are a must have in your winter wardrope. Not only are they warm and comfortable, but also pleasing and fashionable. And if you want to stand out : add an accessory, such as this hat right here. Effortlessly fashionable.
SPORTY AND FIESTY
Never thought a cardigan, a dress and sneakers would go well together? But they do! The earth colored long dress is a match made in fashion heaven with this this cold toned grey cardigan! Comfortable footwear was one of the trends of this passing year and we can see how it's the right choice.
POP OF COLOR
With the holidays coming we can't avoid a little bit of bold colors. Red, was one of the hit colors this year. With this look, the cute red hat certainly gives the outfit some attitude and festivevess. It also happens to cleverly match the color of detail on the jeans.
SIMPLE AND STYLISH
A cosy baby blue sweater paired with the jeans and topped by the grey winter coat. All of the colors shown here are winter themed and it's a sure statemant that you are ready to dive in right into winter. The pieces chosen for this outfit work together to create a simple yet enchanting look.
MEN'S FASHION TIPS
by Karina Kurani
Everyone always talks about the fashion for the ladies, but what about the gents?
Here are three basic looks for the guys that never go out of style. The model for this demonstration is a charming and talented young singer from Germany - Christoph Watrin.
Simple is beautiful. Don't overthink it or over do it. Keeping it simple is never a wrong way to go. A casual and simple look that's easy on the eyes is pleasing to everyone. Choose neutral or cold colors for your shirts. Make sure the shirt is a good fit and that it is not oversized,too loose, otherwise it will look baggy and wrinkly.
In terms of the pants, it's a piece of cake : jeans, sweatpants, shorts, - anything goes. Try to combine opposite colors: light top/dark button or vise-versa. A small accessory a is a nice touch that completes the look.
For when it's cold outside: Scarfs are the perfect accessory for guys not only to keep warm but also look stylish. Earth tone sweaters are back in fashion this season and we are loving this trend!

And last but not least : a classic formal black suit. Who doesn't love a man wearing a perfectly tailored suit? It instantly gives the vibe of someone walking out right out of the " GQ magazine" This look has probably been around for about a century and it's not about to go out. Dress sharp and you will always make a lasting impression.
