Anna Wintour is among those people who wake up really early in the morning and stick to a strict routine in order to succeed. With time I’ve learned that this habit doesn’t work for everyone. However, she is one of the shining examples of a disciplined person. Anna is well-known for being the editor-in-chief of American Vogue for 32 years and counting. Mainly because of “The Devil Wears Prada” most of us imagine she is the person that everybody in the fashion industry should be scared of. Her bob hairstyle has become her signature and she hasn’t changed it for years. And as for the fact she rarely stays without…

An Outfit in White & Beige
As soon as I see a wide-legged pant, I immediately think of the photo of Coco Chanel here. She’s wearing a striped shirt, black trousers, a belt, and white shoes. As simple as that. Unintentionally, today’s post is inspired by this look. The difference is in the color palette and the length of the pants. However, the overall vibe is quite similar – it has that effortlessly chic feel that I love so much! The pants are actually a skort. I purchased it from a small boutique in Sofia. The fabric and the cut are more than perfect for the season. Also, it has a belt that ties at the…

Digital Fashion Week – Is That the Future of Fashion?
Since the World Health Organization announced the pandemic, more and more people have started talking about the old and non-working model of fashion shows which prioritizes quantity over quality. Truth is, we have gone a long way since Charles Frederick Worth who is believed to be one of the founders of haute couture. For this period fashion has grown from an unattainable dream to a way of manipulating everyone to buy more and more. The last few months have helped to slow down and help people come up with an adequate solution. Gucci decided to go seasonless, showing only twice a year instead of five. Yves Saint Laurent, on the…

The Stripes: An All-Time Classic
It’s Wednesday morning and I’m having what’s left from my cup of coffee. It’s time for the next Zoom meeting. As we all wait for everyone to tune it, I notice something peculiar. All of us women, including myself, wore a different version of a striped shirt. We did not arrange this beforehand. It’s not so weird at all! Here’s why: To this day the striped top is within the most popular pieces. There are SO many variations of it that they can make your head spin! The first iteration of Breton („from Brittany“) sweaters was designed with tightly knit local wool to protect fishermen from biting winds and water.…

12 Style Quotes From Big Names In Fashion
During these self-isolating times, we can’t help but focus on ourselves more. We cannot go shopping outside, but we can play dress-up at home.

The Trench Coat – Then and Now
The trench coat was originally developed as a sporting coat for the upper crust. During the First World War, the British War Office accepted the recognizable design by Thomas Burberry to become part of the soldiers’ uniform. Other brands, such as Aquascutum, also have a long-time history in producing trench coats. What Makes It So Recognizable? The classic version of this piece is double-breasted in a khaki color. It’s made from weatherproof gabardine with epaulets, a storm flap on one shoulder and storm pockets. When Did the Trench Become Popular? Soldiers couldn’t stop wearing it even after the war because of its practicality. Although there isn’t anything quite feminine about its…

3 Colors to Wear This Spring
Last September’s catwalks were brightly colored – from earthy tones to neons. Which is more than amazing! Diversity is definitely needed so that we can all find something for ourselves and adapt it to our own style. Here is why I have chosen exactly these shades that the designers have demonstrated. One of them you undoubtedly possess already. The other ones, however, might be a new cup of tea for you. But why not try them this spring? Which is the case with Jacquemus – a sheer orange dress over a white suit! Major styling game! Pierpaolo Piccioli, however, is so good at the „go big or go home“ game.…

What Happens to Chanel After Karl?
Exactly a year ago we lost Kaiser Karl. His death marked the end of an era and the beginning of a new one… Karl managed to sell dreams to people His enormous talent didn’t consist of coming up with new silhouettes or defining trends. His fashion shows were global fashion events, which materialized dreams and sold them to customers. The majority felt connected to it all and often bounded itself by buying more affordable products (such as fragrances and cosmetics). This strategy made Karl, as well as Chanel, unapproachable. Today these exact dreams and concepts still sell lipsticks, but customers’ approach and attitude towards the brand have altered. They expect to…
