February Trend Report - Velvet

This month's trend report brings an old classic to the forefront, but served in a new, chic, modern way.
The trend is, of course, velvet. Warm, cosy, rich textured and luxurious, it's perfect for the relentless winter weather.

I spy...... Christian Dior

This week, I've fallen in love with  the beautiful pre-fall collection of Christian Dior.
With the Duchess of Windsor as inspiration, the  collection is a mix of traditional patterns and typical Galliano style.

I spy.....Gucci Teals F/W 2011

Surely Gucci's  ready-to-wear collection for Fall 2011 must be one of this season's most stunning collections.
Not only is it bold and bright but it's also terribly elegant and chic -not to mention vampishly sexy.
While the colours are breath-taking in themselves, their combination in the collections are  nothing short of explosive.

Having said that, I'm sharing  some of the vibrant teal pieces -because, sadly, I just couldn't fit all 50 masterpieces of the complete collection in one post.....
