This isn’t necessarily what I would recommend wearing at the moment – considering it’s getting seriously cold outside – but what I do recommend, for those sunny Fall days, is to wear pastels, ecru, and blush.

See you next year… Working my way through all the Fashion Week content from last month, I realize even more how much I will miss you when you are really gone, heat-wave. I hate you when sitting outside, like sardines in a tin can, waiting for the show to start, but I love you when I set foot to leave, and my movement creates a flow of air around me. New York Fashion Week in September always seems to come with this love/hate relationship…
Hold your horses! Make sure you are tuning in this Sunday (9AM US-time/3PM Europe) for the Valentino SS17 livestream, which is the first solo show of Pierpaolo Piccioli for Maison.

Bags, shoes, leather leg warmers – yes really – and so many beautiful AW16 pieces. I am absolutely, positively, 100% sure I could not have had a better London Fashion Week… And it wasn’t even my first time…
The new Mulberry, that’s how I like to refer to the Mulberry we are seeing right now. With new Creative Director Johnny Coca showing his second collection yesterday at London Fashion Week, the British heritage brand is taking a new direction. An elevation from “the classic British” to “the British with a French twist” I almost want to say. An unusual, yet exciting change to a brand that is close to my heart since the moment I started thefashionugitar.com…
