Alessandra Faccinetti debuted her collection this Fall when she took over for Valentino. I love her Haute Couture line with the beautifully cut chiffon, slightly space-age volumes, and embroideries influenced by
the art of van Dyck.

Ms. Vanessa Valencia, the fairytale princess herself?

‘Photography is my cure against deep emotive distractions.
I like to observe what I have around trying to catch with my camera the essence and the feelings that I receive back. World is where I have to live, but I like it.‘

Take biker boots and jacket, add sweet summer dresses.
I love the styling by Kathy Chan {Guardian Weekend}.

Kat Macleod’s {Australia} collage ladies will inspire confusing feelings of wardrobe envy, even though they are drawings and not people.
She finds fashion, textiles, new art supplies and old books inspiring.
