I couldn’t help but wonder, is 'animal print' a color? [READ]
London Fashion Week started on a spinning wheel and only this weekend I had the time to catch up and oh boy, if it is true that "London is an iconic city for fashion on account of its genius art schools & the bonkers individuals who call themselves Londoners." as the official London Fashion Week Twitter account confesses. Expecting cool classicism, sleek lines, architectural, ablaze creativity is not an understatement.
So, on a rainy Miami Beach Sunday with an home-made pumpkin spice latte as a confidant and the Hallmark channel running in the other room, I got wicked by Emilia Wickstead and her posh collection inspired by Marella Agnelli. Once again I am never impressed by the designer that causes the usual giddy hysteria in the blogosphere or the most Instagrammed catwalk. But that’s who I am.
Now: why? Because ‘simplicity is the ultimate form of sophistication’. The collection is so perfect that it made the catwalk seem like one of those black and white presentations of Dior before even runways and fashion weeks were invented.

An impelling passion for tiaras, crowns and any bejeweled headband grew in the last couple of months. I confess I might have been influenced by various elements, but i feel it’s an impulse I have to follow and listen to.
Oscar de la Renta showed them on every runway, from RTW to Bridal.
Miuccia embellished handbags, shoes, coats and evening dresses on both Prada and Miu Miu.
Elsa Schiaparelli line of jewelry has been reproduced in glorious replicas.
Queen Elizabeth II and her Jubilee back in June. With that, a plethora of “God Save The Queen” inscriptions everywhere, Alexander McQueen, his skulls and clutches.
A more naif favorite, Le Petit Prince and the episode of the King.
And then all of a sudden I stumbled upon this Rule of a Lady n.83 and understood that the crown itch is because I am indeed a Lady.
““The world is not the most pleasant place. Eventually your parents leave and nobody is going to go out of their way to protect you unconditionally. You need to learn to stand up for yourself and what you believe and sometimes, pardon my language, kick some ass.””— - Queen Elizabeth II
