What to wear to fashion week? A never-ending question with infinite possibilities. The answer is quite standard though: Something you can look fabulous in but still tolerate for the long hours of the day. A little fringe to make you stand out from the rest, balanced with comfortable trousers. Some colorblock and a sexy heel with some elastic give.
As often happens, I had no plan for an outfit but decided to combine two different bodysuits and ended up with a new and creative look on top. I did a lot of skirts in the previous season, so pants were a nice change. And how great is the cape? It wears like a vest, so that it stays on and moves with me wherever I go.
Lastly, let's talk about that clutch. A vintage find that my friend lent to me. She is doing a great thing, using fashion to raise funds for nurses to go abroad and offer their much-needed help in third world countries. Her organization is called Purses for Nurses, and I am so happy to support something that has incorporated two of my passions - nursing/healthcare and fashion. Read more about it here, or just go the shop to get your hands on this one-of-a-kind clutch (lots of inquiries about it this past week!).
Recap on the shows coming soon.
