Sneakers by Adidas (Stan Smith)

I have a deep, deep love for the music featured in fashion flicks. Whether it be a runway show, a fashion documentary, or an actual silver screen movie, my Shazam app is usually open on my phone and listening. Some of the beats are simply IN.SANE. I mean literally...insane. Just makes me want to get up and start flailing around like I'm in a 1990's NYC club that's blasting nothing but house music. Just grooving. When my fashion beats are in, I am totally in bliss. Here is bliss for me:

I remember this started around two years ago. I was at my grandma's house helping her with chores and just happened to have my Mac with me. At the time I was totally obsessed with the early work of Alexander McQueen (still obsessed with McQueen, probably will never not be obsessed with McQueen). Anyway, I was browsing his earlier collections on YouTube and I remember watching specifically his Autumn/Winter Ready-to-Wear 1997 collection, "It's a Jungle Out There." The cutting edge of his clothing and the vibrations of the music together made an energy that was so outrageous. After that, I became hooked. Probably 75% of my iTunes library is music from runway shows, documentaries, or soundtracks from films. It's gotten out of hand. Please be sure to watch the collection below. 

Last year around this time, J. Bull and I rented the movie "Dior and I," a fashion documentary that takes a look into the tenure of Raf Simons role as Creative Director for the luxury fashion house, Christian Dior. The film is fantastic. It's filled with a real look into the House of Dior. For anyone who is somewhat interested in the world of Haute Couture, it is a must see. The thing that really drew me in was the music. I had never heard anything like it, it was so cutting edge. I immediately found the playlist and added it to my Soundcloud. I have included the playlist below and a link to my very own SoundCloud profile so that you too, can get your life. 

Timo Weiland definitely caught my eye this season with the shoes, bold colors, and prints. The two shoes shown above will definitely be my footwear staples next summer. A simple, black, derby shoe for business and a sturdy, leather, sandal for fun. You may not know this about me but I am obsessed with chinos and if I could, I would have one in every color. Weiland showed the coolest blue tones in their chinos and paired them with these awesome zip-down shirts, button-down shirts with military-pockets, as well as V-neck sweaters and 1950's-looking cardigans and short-sleeved shirts. Obsessed.

Ovadia & Sons really seemed to capture the essence of what I call "bad boy meets chic." Anyone who knows me knows I love a leopard print. That leopard print fur coat in my closet would allow me to sleep so well at night. Another favorite is the black, eighteenth century-inspired bomber jacket. I feel like Beyoncé should have this in her closet. Who knows? I do know that the brand really showed some edgy yet sophisticated jackets in this collection. All of which could be worn for a night out on the town.
