Introducing Minju Kim

"Dear my friend" Collection by Minju Kim

"Dear my friend" Collection by Minju Kim

WHO ? Some of you may be asking, but just wait a few years and this name will be engraved in your fashion design dictionary.  The winner of H&M's Design Award 2013 Minju Kim is now on the way to fashion stardom and if her first collection is anything to go by I am SO excited to see her career unfold.

Her fun, playful, bright and wacky collection of expertly crafted beautiful fabrics makes you wonder what's taken so long for this style of garment to grace our catwalks. With oversized silhouettes being a must every Autumn this collection could not be more appropriate to todays 'dare to wear' style fashion consumers. Encompassing this seasons pastel palette, fur, and craft in a elegant, wearable, young and contemporary way, what more could you want.

Congratulations Minju Kim, I am dying to see wants next …

The art of dress

I met Tziporah Salamon at the Manhattan Vintage show and started chatting to her after photographing her outfit (see Manhattan Vintage post)

She proceeded to tell me about her seminars she gives, teaching women the elements of vintage dress from the comfort of her own home. Not only is the seminar an intriguing insight into a women's life dedicated to the art of fashion dressing but I am also dying to see what it is like inside the home of such a fashion guru.

Classes vary from week to week and registering is a must. See you there!

What better way to spend a Friday afternoon than searching through rack after rack of vintage gems. The Manhattan Vintage Fall Show ran through the 25th and 26th October and if you managed to get a chance to see it you can tell why it needs a full 2 days dedicated to it. 

Cases of vintage jewelry, shoes, sunglasses, hats, dresses, coats, trousers and much much more made me re-think my choice to move into the apartment I can barely afford and after I found my perfect leopard coat for $250 I was ready to tear up the contract and move into a shed down the road….. don't worry this didn't actually happen… but I am still thinking about the coat … 

A chance to spot the fashionistas of Manhattan and maybe a chance to finally hold that vintage Chanel bag you dream of or wear that oversized black fur Dolce and Gabanna coat you have been saving for all your life. Whatever reason you want to go, with cash in pocket or not, I would greatly recommend the show. I'll be saving my pennies until next season …

Lets take a breath from the Pale pink tones and remember the staple color of our winter coats has definitely not been forgotten. This muted camel wool-blend coat is an absolute must-have for this fall and at a fraction of the runway price.
