Blown away by Qasimi

Well i do not even know where to start... This morning i was totally and utterly blown away by the SS10 Qasimi show, not simply just because of the champagne reception, or the industrial grandeur of the show location but by the sublime and opulent spendour that came down the runway. The new collection based on ancient spiritualism from a Byzantium era showed strong sculptural and embellished shoulders, on the boldest and bravest of colours. Shocking blood red, deep blues and bold maroon, with a wealth of gold embellishment. Being a magpie myself, it is everything i adore. The collection oozed sophistication and femininity, a strong femininity and independence with the models mirroring a cross of futuristic goddesses and chic 80s female power dressing. The collection started off with the intense colours on the geometric pieces and moved onto Grecian flowy floor length and sometimes flowery dresses, all heavily brocaded with the lustful laser cut gold mirror sequins, beading and Swarovski crystals. The show was such a success and i couldn't stop click click clicking away with the old iPhone. Here are some pictures of the collection, sorry for the blurry-ness, those models sure can walk fast in those heels! I caught up backstage with Khalid after the show whose excitement and happiness with the shows immediate positive response could be seen on his face...

Look at the amazing embellished spats, on closer inspection backstage, these are removable and can be attatched onto any shoe! Bloody fantastic, and so clever, i can not wait to get me a pair! Talk about recession friendly or what..? Just add to any shoe...!The Spats...

The jewellery in the show was designed by Scott Wilson for Qasimi, showing geometric angular neck pieces, bracelets and earrings. My favourite is by far the earring, i would love to add this to my collection...

This is the piece i fell totally in love with! Looks great no..? I want it. Who says less is more? In this case more is more, and the more i look at the collection, the more i want to be surrounded by it!

Best dressed woman of 2 weekends ago (PFW)... Nell Trotter

My week in Paris left me constantly meeting stylish people. The men are so well dressed and look so on the money in terms of the right garbs and the right way of throwing them together and the girls all have that insouciant Parisian style. I have seen a lot of high waisted peg-leg trousers and vintage style shoes. It has left me slightly questioning my daily attire. After the Qasimi show, i started chatting to the lovely PR Nell. She is not from Paris but certainly hold her own in the style ranks over here, just check out all her amazing accessories...

Bag- Basso & Brooke.

Skull Cuff- Great Frog

Pink stoned ring- John Hardy

Leopard ring- Accessorize

Necklace- Tom Binns

I literally want all of those accessories... I am now going to find a way of tracking every last one down, starting with that Chanel/McDonald's number- (Super swoon!)
