The Fashionisto

I usually don’t pay that much attention to the presentation of a brand, but I can’t help to be overcome with a good vibe when looking at Vincent Schoepfer’s lookbooks.  Completely infectious, Schoepfer’s lookbooks play around with a conceptual nerdy look.  In an awkward turn, I feel that Schoepfer gives off a completely cool vibe and his line becomes clothes I desperately want to wear.  The hooded waistcoat is most definitely a stand out piece. Paired with a long sleeved button down and skinny jeans, the waistcoat would complete a strong unique look.

I like the creative play demonstrated with the oversized proportions and off balance of gender appropriateness in Romeo Gigli’s spring 2009 collection.  Style wise, I must point out the socks in the bottom two pictures.  Excellent look!  Occasionally, I like to mix it up and wear shorts with long socks as pictured.  However, I always play the color down so it flows easier and is not hard on the eyes.

These are pictures of Henrik Vibskov’s show for Copenhagen Fashion Week.  Fresh on the heels of Paris, I still like the silhouettes of the outerwear and the direction he is moving in with his staple of shorts.

I received these images with the spring 2009 clothing collection, but decided to hold off and post them separately.  As you may have noticed, I try to keep posts simple with a specific focus, so it’s easier to take in all the details.

Moving on to the collection, I’m not a wearer of rings, but I do like necklaces, so I was instantly drawn.  I like that the necklaces are simple and understated, yet unique at the same time.  I haven’t been wearing accessories lately, because it has been insanely hot this summer and I’ve been sticking to simple layering, but usually I like to wear necklaces when I’m wearing solids that need a little punch.  I would never advise wearing a necklace with graphic attire as it is too much and will just get washed out.
