Calling for Tokyo.

Since my exams are finally over, all of my assignments have been handed in, and the holidays are fast approaching, I have had a serious amount of relaxation time on my hands. Last week in my product/fashion design room at school, I ventured into the store room to take a few books home over the weekend break. While flipping through pages of greatly influential seasons of fashion from designers old & new, I fell across a book called, 'The Tokyo Collection' by Shizuyo Kusunoki. I was blown away by the structure and shape of a variety of designers collections. Each garment (whether it be a structured jacket or an evening gown) was innovative and chic, as well as the layout and pages of the book, each page a different texture and design template to the next. I have fallen completely in love with Tokyo being a transmitting base for fashion, overflowing with a sense of freshness and youthfulness! Here are looks from some of the amazing designers in the book.

Keeping it Classy.

Keeping it Classy.

Here are just a few of my all time favourite 'classic' pieces. 

1. Acne Jordan Cut Out Oxford in Black, a cheaper alternative would be the Sportsgirl Cut Out Biker Boots.

2. Sass and Bide - 'The Lover' pants, another cheaper option would be the Zara Zip Jean in Black.

3. Mac lipstick in 'Rich'.

4. Alexander Wang Antonia leather sandals. Tony Bianco and Windsor Smith have very similar ones at a more affordable price. 

5. Celine I.D necklace in Rose Gold.

6. Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Compact Foundation.

7. Monki 'Sanna Singlet' in Black.
