Stylish Diva Studio

I was digging into the Jimmy Choo for H&M back in June when H&M released the press release for the project.  The campaign picture has been release, as well as the lookbook for accessories and apparel.  Let’s take a look at the campaign pictures and we’ll get into the details later.

Don’t you just love it already?  You can see all the fall trends in these photos: studs, leather, sequins, suede, chunky jewelries and over-the-knee boots, they all make a bold statement.  Now we need to get down into details, let’s take a look at the lookbook for the ladies.

We’ve introduced some really cool F/W fashion in the past 2 weeks for both men and women, which some of you may found the colours are too dark.  Well…IT IS the season to wear darker colours, but who says we cannot wear bright and fun colours for fall?  I pick some of the most stunning colours for this F/W, they are equally as fun with bright lip colours, or ultra violet shadows.  (Oh…don’t put both on your face at the same time!!!)

We’ve had some great selection this F/W for the ladies, now it’s the gentleman’s turn to gear up for this fabulous fall, let’s take a look at these items, I’m sure you can find something that you like.  For the ladies, if you like to pick up some pieces for your other half, go for these seasonal trends, I’m sure he will get everyone’s attention, especially yours.  Always remember, trends are expensive, go for the deals at Zara or H&M, if you can find something similar in the less expensive brands, go for it!  (Click on the pictures and it’ll direct you to the page where you can purchase them.)

I’ve always love fall more than other seasons, mainly because I can put on the coolest jackets and they won’t look as bulky as the winter ones.  Leather pants, boots, chunky accessories all belong to fall season.  I love the fashion trends for F/W 09/10 in particular because they contain all the elements that I like. Now, let’s see some of my favourite items.  If you are interested in purchasing any of the items below, just click on the pictures, it’ll direct you to where you should be.

Tweed used to look very old fashion to me.   My mom would wear tweeds, only from Chanel, and not the gray ones, she’s got the jackets in navy blue tweed , black tweed and a pink with white tweed for spring, I guess those are the only ones that look acceptable to me.  Not to mention the Houndstooth…never like them.  This year though, there are a lot of  tweed and houndstooth going on, Moschino, DKNY, John Rocha, Karl Lagerfeld, and Michael Kors are all great supporters for tweed and houndstooth.

Japanese brands always have projects collaborating with other brands.  We’ve had in the past, Head Porter x Beams, Comme des Garçons x Converse, Mastermind Japan x Vsivim, and so on, they’ve all been extremely successful.  The main reasons are; they are all limited edition, so it made them more precious.  Second, you paid a price and you are wearing 2 brands, pieces that contains 2 different design elements, which usually created new dynamics to both brands.  And of course, it could be once in a life time for the collaboration.  It is possible that they’ll gather again, but who knows when. It could be years later when you might not even fit into the targeted age group anymore, keep in mind that your taste might change over time.

I was never a fan of Chanel.  Yes…I know it’s quite unbelievable.  It wasn’t my style though, the quilted handbags, the pencil skirts, the suits, the cardigans…they were too lady.  But I guess as I slowly approaching 30, I started to appreciate the elegance of Chanel more, and really…Chanel is not for young rich kids.

Another great collaboration, COMME des GARCONS famous PLAY heart shape on your favorite pair of basic Converse, how brilliant is that! After a successful launch in Japan early 2009, they’ll be coming to each of their flag ship stores in different cities like New York, London, Paris, Hong Kong and Seoul. Meanwhile China and North America will get their share in October this year.

Available in black and white, high and lo tops, retail for $100 USD.

We have been talking a lot about shoes for Fall 2009, I’m not sure if you’re tired of seeing shoes on our blog yet, but our designers are certainly not tired about them, there are actually more interesting designs this year than ever.  This year is all about making a statement, you either go crazy with your neck line, your high shoulder pads, like the ones from Balmain, Distress Jeans, and of course, the crazy shoes designs.

We’ve talked about shoe collections from Barbara Bui, Christian Louboutin, and Yves Saint Laurent; now let’s take a look at Balmain, DSQUARED2 and Alexander Wang’s Fall 2009 shoe collection.

You see, I like shoes, but I’m crazy about bags. So to me, anything higher than 4″ in heels, it’s useless. Or if they cost more than $300 a pair, I’d rather spend that on a bag. Until I saw this:
