Josephine et Napoleon

Paris Fashion Week can very well end with a nice reference to the empire dress. Timeless style that shows up everywhere, as in this shop named Meluseena which features the art of Lisa Falzon. Ms Falzon is  amazing, not only in artistic skill but in interpretation and original ideas. Ooohh, Monsieur Bonaparte, are you worried? Hint: I would love to receive this print for Mother's Day. 

Masha Ma Shows at Paris Fashion Week

I happened come across a story about an up-and-coming designer from London who made a career move, literally by moving to Paris. Her nane is Masha Ma, and the image is from her latest collection. What I love about his Winter 2011 Collection of pencil thin skirts is the designer's control over shape, texture, and line. Her color palette is subdued and I love that she used shiny red boots to show that off. My question is, where did she get those boots? I think they're adorable, nooo, I mean hot! 

The silhouette here is amazing. Is it a three-piece? I can't tell, but I can definitely say I love it from this perspective.

This is from the Winter 2012 Collection showing the designer's eye for deconstruction, cut, line, contrast texture-wise, and accessorizing.

And this is from Masha Ma's Spring Summer 2012. All photos are borrowed
