Hi there ! Hope everyone's enjoying their Monday so far ;)
This afternoon I wanted to look back at one of the most fun presentations I have had the chance to witness in my entire Fashion Week career. Yeah, really ! For the occasion of LFW, the team of Vielma London put together a delightful, short mise-en-scène inspired by the golden age of Las Vegas in the 1950's and 1960's, starring five besties, all more beautifully gorgeous one than another, playing dress-up while sipping on handshaked double martinis in a dreamy, retro motel room backdrop. A perfectly curated mid-century bedroom with its icy blue walls & bed linen, and bubblegum pink accents here and there.
This collection overlooks the combination of style and class of the high-profiled country-club resorts of that time, with the colour and buzz of the Strip to create a timeless, fun and feminine look. From coordinate's to mix and match sets, with a touch of sparkle and sheen to reflect the razzle-dazzle of Vegas, Vielma London is about uncompromising modern femininity and represents the epitome of retro rock glam, set in an all-mighty 'Merican atmosphere. Models were nonchalantly flouncing around, sporting strong 60's throwback items like the infamous snakeskin over-the-knee boots and shift mini dresses. Among the mix of day and nightwear, were also featured fitted boxy blazers and a handful of knee length, A-line dresses, very reminiscing of the fuzzy decades. A favourite of mine, which also happens to be coming up strong in the 2015-16 trends department is the patent leather sock boot with chunky heels; a classic of the mod period.
Fancy a killer retro slumber party like Vielma's very own ? We got you covered ;) All you need is your four main gals, a cozy hotel/motel room with a queen size beds, a martini shaker, your favourite cocktail mix, a classic hits playlist and all the clothes you've bought during an insane shopping spree prior to hosting your girls night !
Which Vielma London girl is your favourite ?
