FASHION Magazine

Anne Valérie Hash, one of my favourite French designers (and forever the next Big One), is about to present Paris Fashion Week’s first really-must-see collection, and I am dreaming. No, literally. I’m in my big white hotel bed, nested in sheets, dreaming of bunny rabbits with blue nail polish on.

At 7:30 a.m. home-time, my body screams for caffeine and I awake to panic. My first thought is unprintable. My second is: oh no, Paris has probably eaten all its croissants already!

This Lovely looks classic, classic, classic. Her skirt’s got a vintage vibe, but that big white blazer turns it up to right now.

This Lovely is all English up top (check the mash-up of plaid and paisley), but her sunny yellow pants make us think of more exotic climes.

This Lovely’s dress looks like a crystallized painting. Amazing.

The Lolita part is obvious. The lust part? Her leather motorcycle jacket.

This Lovely’s outfit reminds us of an early art project: scribble bright colours, cover with black crayon and scratch out your design.

After seeing zillion bondage dresses, we’re happy to see a fresh take on the bandage trend in this Lovely’s layered skirt.

Check out the full look after the jump and tell us what you think of her socks.

We’re not sure if this lovely is sporting a sweater, a breastplate or a poncho, we just know it’s one of the only times we’ve seen pom-poms used to non-circusy effect.

Do you agree? Check out the full look and tell us in the comments.

What day is it? Which show am I at? What’s my name? I’ve started to slip into the delusional state that is called “almost the end of fashion week”, where it all becomes a blur of coltish legs and directional hair. Get on the metro, wait in line, clothes, pretty! Get on the metro, wait in line, clothes, pretty! Get lost on the metro, wait in line, clothes, pretty!

We’d be jumping too if we got to go to Paris. Or maybe she just really loves her fabulous bag.

This Lovely bravely wears studs in the rain. We hope she doesn’t rust.

The MisShapes’ Leigh Lezark is more Flowers in the Attic than spring garden, but we can’t fault her–the collections are beautifully bleak.
