 BreathingCloset was recently featured on The Faux Fashionista blog. The owner of the blog is a fashion enthusiast who just came back to KL after an enviable internship with the luxury brand Bally in New    York City. In this blog entry, the writer put together a chic ensemble for the office, featuring a gorgeous pleated front dress from BreathingCloset.
The S/S 2008 shows continue to shine - perfect tribute to the beauty of Spring and Summer - with many demure y et incredibly sexy looks. My spotlight definitely goes t o Donna Karan who pulled the hems down this season, with both flowy full skirts and pencil skirts that fall below the knee. Feminine figures are also very much celebrated, with more cinched waists and plunging necklines. DONNA KARAN     At Betsey Johnson - another personal favourite of mine - the girls looked like they could fit right in Grease - the prom scene. With lots of voluminous full skirts and colours that Barbie would certain approve of, Betsey Johson delivered a more whimsical and slightly more youthful show as compared to the SS shows last year. BETSEY JOHNSON    As for Marc Jacobs...the dude did it again! As Style.com noted, the looks are all too eclectic to categorize but one thing stands consistent; the polished eccentricity that we all love in MJ clothes. Highly recommended for the artsy fartsy.

Seriously, I have never been much of a Kate The Supermodel fan. Even when she signed the deal with Topshop, I watched with much cynicism.
No doubt her personal style radiates edge and epitomises all things cool, but as the popular saying goes, "What does not look good on Kate Moss?" Plus, Kate Moss practically lives in high fashion. Her face literally sells millions of dollars worth of fashion publications. Designers dig the chick because she sells their clothes well. Can someone so highly involved in high fashion squeeze her essence for the regular masses? Fortunately, yes. When the Kate Moss line arrived at Topshop KL, I was pleased to see many wearable, classy pieces. Gorgeous tunics, well-designed jeans and chic blouses. The 2007 A/W collection too seems to have been carefully thought of. I especially love the tea dress with clove prints, the schoolboy trousers, the green one-shoulder dress and the beaded camisole top.So I approve Kate Moss for TopShop and can hardly wait for the A/W arrivals to make their way to Topshop MidValley (my favourite Topshop outlet in KL).
 New at Net-a-Porter is this gorgeous silk-blend trapeze dress by Jodi Arnold, a New York based designer who designs under the name MINT J odi Arnold.  The prints are irresistible; print-loving KLites would appreciate the multi but complementary hues. Surely a lot of thought (and LOVE) has been given to the design of this dress, testimony to which is the dramatic back, with its self-tie and pleated details.  Priced at nearly RM2500 (after conversion), it is nearly an impossible dress to purchase. But oh well. Lovely piece to look at and draw inspiration from!

70s Print Jersey Dress (BLUE) 
SIZE: FREE (S-M)
Shoulder-shoulder:13.5 inches
Bust: 32 to 34 inches
Armhole (diameter): 8 inches
Length: 34.5 inches
70s Print Jersey Dress
o Full sleeves
o Cool, slinky, easy to care jersey material
o Funky 70s print
o Plunging v-neck
o Stretchable
o Falls above knee  This quirky, eye-catching dress epitomizes the aggressive fashion cycles of the 70s. I love the loud prints simply for the reason that it requires little other accessorizing. The material is also cooling – hence absolutely suitable for the humid weather (don’t we all just love weather-conscious fashion?).
HOW TO WEAR
When wearing loud prints, the general rule of thumb is to keep everything else minimal. Wear this with pumps or kitten heels in neutral shades and simple designs. A classic, oversized tote (in white, tan or black) complements the look. Experiment with patent leather accessories for extra edge.

CODE: 6037 Chiffon Grecian Style Dress SIZE: FREE (S-M) Bust: 32 – 36 inches Under bust - 28 Length – 34 inches Flowy sleeves
  Grecian-dress lovers take note! I absolutely love this dress. Thank the flowy sleeves for hiding un-fabulous arms (“But my gym pass expired!!!”) the thick waistband for hiding un-fabulous abs. Very feminine, very womanly, very should-be-in-your-closet.
HOW TO WEAR This dress does not come with any slip/spaghetti strap/tube top. So, use your own imagination and pair the dress with any of your favourite slips (add spice with a laced spaghetti strap). Accessorize well with chandelier earrings OR long vintage necklaces. For evening events, diamante heels go great with this dress. As the dress is not printed, you may go a little funky with the footwear. For day events, just pair with solid colour pumps. RM 55.90 / SGD33.90 (postage incl.) POSLAJU: RM5 (EM) / RM 7 (WM)

Vintage Print Mini Dress (PINK)  SIZE: FREE (S-M) Bust: 32-34 inches Waist: 36 inches max Length: 35 inches Shoulder: 11.5 inches Sleeves diameter: 6 inches
The design of this dress reminds me so muchh of my childhood days. I am not sure if it is the laced front or the faux pearl buttons or the beautiful flower-motif prints but the dress sure gives a hint of childlike playfulness. Plus, 60s mini dresses such as this one is all the rage this Spring! |
