WINTER espectaculaire

Bring together London, my love for winter and a very inspiring Vogue issue and this is the result after going through my filter. My usual inclination toward plain, simple and clean is particularly disturbed by the event of the year —Christmas. I feel like a treat is in order and what is is a treat in the fashion world but rich accessories and some striking detailing on your clothes? So I made a selection of a few of my favourite pieces from this winter collections and organized them into outfits that I would love to see out in the street. The keys are texture and shafts of colour that blend with grey, black, beige and brown. Have a look.
