I know I have an affinity for hyperboles but damn, do I want everything in Cos‘s spring collection. Especially love the sandy tones and origami fabrication.

Beaufille FW16
Everything about Beaufille‘s FW16 collection is enticing. From the exaggerated bell shapes to the deliberate nonchalance of the off-the-shoulder dresses, every detail is calculated and precise. If we let their more recent collections speak for themselves, I must say relocating the brand from Toronto to New York has been an overwhelmingly positive change. Their styling has grown in confidence, their designs stronger and bolder than ever before. It doesn’t exactly reinvent the wheel, but damn, do they make that wheel look pretty. Also ummm hi I want every piece of jewellery from this collection.
More after the jump.
1205 FW16
Leave it to London’s 1205 to pump out one of the most refined and luxurious collections from London Fashion Week in recent memory. Creative director Paula Gerbase trained on Savile Row, and her meticulous eye for tailoring and proportions is apparent in every well-cut overcoat, and in every pair of perfectly-slouchy trousers. London Fashion Week tends to host some of the more eclectic and bolder ready-to-wear collections each season. It’s nice to be pleasantly surprised with this one.

Back & Forth
I love the look of flat-ironed black hair paired with minimalist Scandinavian design. They just complement each other so well. This one’s a blast from the past: Ann-Sofie Back AW14. ♥

Sheer Luck
I love the mix of tough and supreme girliness in this editorial from Satellite Journal, featuring clothes by Japanese designer Akikoaoki. Paper-thin sheer lace combined with heavy brocade and black combat boots. It’s feminine and strong and completely me. Stay tuned for more about Akikoaoki in the coming days.

Ann Demeulemeester SS16
Half S&M high priestess, half European ski enthusiast, Anne Demeulemeester’s SS16 collection is everything I would wear within the sweaty confines of a dark underground rave, but with 100% more nipple tape. In all seriousness, this was one of my favourite SS16 collections. What can I say? I love all black ensembles with mixed textures—leather, chiffon, silk, maybe a little bit of velvet if you’re feeling extra aesthetic. Although I’m not a huge fan of the peep toe shoes, I would probably kill for one of those incredible leather harnesses.

Easy Rider
Maybe it’s because I haven’t ridden my bike in over a month (hi, winter), but these photographs of stylish cyclists commuting to and from shows during Copenhagen Fashion Week are really doing it for me right now. Sure, some of them aren’t the most cycle-friendly ensembles—as a daily commuter cyclist, I have never ever been able to ride with a hat on without it getting blown off by the wind, much less a fur stole so casually, so perfectly draped over the shoulders like that. And on days when I’m wearing flare pants, they’re either pinned to keep them from getting sucked into the wheels or I don’t ride at all. Surprisingly, heels are pretty easy.
Regardless, it’s nice to see how much (or how little) stylish women choose to adjust their meticulously planned outfits to their mode of transportation. Yes, getting dressed to the nines with zero consideration for practicality has its appeal. But the modern working woman doesn’t have that luxury on most days, and many of the women photographed here are working all the way through fashion week, attending business meetings in addition to going to shows everyday. To them (and me!), functionality matters. So I’ll be matching my cream coloured single-speed to my white leather kicks as soon as the weather becomes a bit more agreeable.
