The modern peacock, but this peacock lives in Ibiza. Swedish duo Lazoschmidl brings a quirky satire of social hierarchy onto the runway. Even their choice of venue was deliciously satirical. The low key intimidate venue of the Goethe Institute served as a befitting backdrop for this delicious collection.
Read MoreOne can easily emulate an “I’m with the band” vibe with a Magda Butrym rouched velvet dress. If I can have just one outfit from this collection I think I’d feel like a million bucks and insist on standing at the entrance with those It girls.
Read MoreAttendees came in with their cameras in hand snapping away, only stopping to grab a glass of champagne. I had no idea when to stop taking pictures, there was just so much to see. When the models finally emerged, I knew I was in trouble…

Read MoreThe abundance of character in these designs remind me of a little girl playing dress up. Every single item is exuberantly fabulous and it is all thrown together to articulate individuality in style. There is no holding back on the creativity.

Guests dressed to the nines, heavy hitting influencers and major publications alike wave their invitations in front of organizers checking the guest list. The main event outside seems to be a tiny Yorkie that all of the paparazzi are taking pictures of.
Read MoreThe whimsical nature of this collection is evident in the designer. A warm and welcoming Maria Tokmakova speaks about her collection with a sense of humor that is often missing in fashion lately. The nostalgia of the 80s does not overtake the collection, it remained very of today.
Read MoreMilo Maria AW19 walks a fine line between inspiration and aspiration. The inspired soft, dreamy pink fur coat stood alongside an aspirational red power suit. A mix of aesthetics and patterns keep this collection ever-moving in and out of fantasy and wearability.
