FASHION // FREE PEOPLE TAKES PARIS

9571703cd

When styles from the ’60s and ’70s came rushing into the ’90s and the thrift stores became my favorite places to find unique treasures from the eras . I learned how to make styles the my own, even if they came off a bit costume-y from time to time, it was all par for the ’90s course. I found creative ways to make old new and new, interesting, and probably had a few people wondering what on earth I was wearing. But that’s usually the case and I don’t mind.

To see retro styles again now, created with new textiles and fabrics and colors, worn in similar but fresh ways, and incorporating the ’90s configurations as well, just make me smile. The faux suede button front a-line skirt I wore the other day is a new version of an old ’70s classic I had in my possession years ago and finally got rid of because the style was stiff and rigid and never fit right. But the new “faux suede” has stretch to it, making it far more flattering AND comfortable to wear. That’s a double bonus! But I love the retro styles and the addition of the ’90s as .It’s just fun and that’s why I love fashion.

Below are images from their September 2015 Lookbook in Paris.

GABRIELE PASINI – Flagship Store 8268 Melrose Ave. Los Angeles, California,

GABRIELE PASINI – L.A.

———————-

The Gabriele Pasini Store at 8268 Melrose Avenue, West Hollywood.

————————–

#LOSANGELES  #MELROSE8268  #WESTHOLLIWOOD  #OPENSOON  #GPSHOP  #LARDINIOFFICIAL

Gabriele Pasini, from the Neapolitan region of Italy where tailoring reconsiders the British tradition key in an aesthetic fashion linked to the new man yet formed with urban dandy, exasperating lines and details to build a sophisticated sense of elegance. The collections of Gabriele Pasini focus’ on the complete three-piece suit and vest, with meticulous attention to detail and the use of vintage fabrics in continuous switching between Italian and British tradition.

10985438_1011754925535992_2520967155709980028_n

Drawing strong inspiration from aesthetics dandy in its most sober and less “fashionable”, Gabriele customizes’ each piece while working on its particular fit, with strong attention to detail. The lapels and buttons are made by goldsmiths of Vicenza, as well as Como silk neckties, all aspects of his fashion line are complete with custom made high personal taste bordering on the obsessive.

Gabriele says of himself: “You can say that I am self-taught. I grew up and matured within the tailors, especially those of Naples. In Italy we have great schools for tailors, but in my mind the Neapolitan school is the most complete. In some regards I’m a fabric freak, I love the selection of materials from the simplest to the most complex, with a priority for the draperies as well as vintage and retro fabrics.

How is my style?  “I have drawn inspiration and mixed the stylings of Mick Jagger and David Bowie, as well as combining Italian and English fabrics from the seventies”. All suits are three pieces complete with the vest, in order to confirm with the desired elegance of men, with careful attention to detail and finishes. All the while increasing a new etiquette and elegance of men’s fashion.

FEMININE EDGE

5ff2775ee9cdf48976e4ed1bd7403f8c

We are all about adding a little edge to a feminine look. Pair a feminine maxi dress like this Matthew Williamson printed silk-chiffon gown with a fitted leather biker jacket like this BALENCIAGA classic leather jacket. Complete the look with a statement piece like this ear cuff from Ryan Storer. It can be worn solo or with the coordinating single stud. This is the perfect look when transitioning from summer into fall on those cooler nights.

#SARASTYLE BEST OF HAUTE COUTURE – AUTUMN/WINTER 2015/16 COLLECTIONS

tumblr_nr4xv691EW1qzmo1lo1_1280

Haute Couture shone once again in Paris through its couturiers and guest members. The creativity and ateliers were celebrated through flashes of genius. For a single purpose: to make the woman beautiful. So rightly so it was a question of shapes, the body and sensuality.  At Versace we found the most beautiful girls, such as Lara Stone or Doutzen Kroes who came to play romantic hippies. At Yiqing Yin it was about wrapping the fabric around the body like a snake whilst Bouchra Jarrar gave us her definition of couture lingerie.

In addition to the woman in all her splendour, the couturiers drew their inspiration from art. From Dice Kayek and his clin d’oeil to Basquiat, to Raf Simons and his homage to Flemish painters at Dior. Without forgetting the portraits of women by Alexis Mabille in the Garnier Opera whilst Schiaparelli invited us to the Elsa Theatre, through the first collection designed by Bertrand Guyon. Finally, the dresses became true works of art thanks to the talent of the duo Viktor & Rolf. The exceptional gowns were highly acclaimed by the guests including several stars, who were delighted to take some time out for fashion week. Karl Lagerfeld went as far as including them in the Chanel show.

We saw the appearances of Vanessa Paradis and her daughter Lilly-Rose, Isabelle Huppert, Rita Ora, Kristen Stewart, and Julianne Moore…to name a few, who came to play at the Casino under the gazes of the astounded spectators. To the sets, where once again the Chanel house amazed us with its “circle”, a kind of private club worthy of a Scorcese film. And finally what about Jean-Paul Gaultier and his ode to Brittany, with galettes served to the guests and an orchestra appearing on the stage. The couturier took all the codes of this region, like the costumes, embroidery, and colours which he reworked with magic for 59 looks and proved once again that he excels with brilliance in the art of couture.
