Closet Cleaning 101:

Out with the old,In with the New. Isn't that what the New Year defines ?

So,why apply the concept to your closet.Declutter your closet with the help of the flowchart.When was the last time you were able to close your closet door? Don’t worry, you’re not alone. Nor should you be: The task of cleaning out your closet solo is near impossible. When you look into your wardrobe, you see all the memories that give life to your clothes; you’re aware of the money you spent on them, and each time you consider extracting a piece, a chorus of “what ifs” sings in your head: What if miniskirts come back? What if I take a trip to Morocco? What if Jake Gyllenhaal asks me out on a date? What if Kristen Stewart invites me to play catch on the beach? It isn't easy to limit your options, or find an advisor you trust who has the patience to take on the task with you.

And so, unless you’re Kim Kardashian West with a closet-cleanse-giddy husband (this week she tweeted that the two were up all night redoing her wardrobe for a “New 2015 vision”), you need this flowchart. It addresses all the excuses you can make for yourself while attempting to edit your wardrobe. All you have to do in return is commit, and try your best to be honest.

I remember my best friend was asking me lend her a dress and I was like "go ahead" . It wasn't until she opened the door .... clothes packed(yes!) in a tight ball hit her smack right in her face.Well,as you can imagine I couldn't really hold back my laughter at the time  .Anyhow,she accused me of being a hoarder(S.A. -shopaholics anonymous kind) and went on a mission of decluttering my wardrobe.After two days of whining,nail-biting,receiving onslaughts of her wrath,I finally got rid of  my les déchets.

Try it out for yourself, or bring it along when a friend asks you to be a wardrobe-trimming voice of reason—just remember what Kanye told Kim when they cleaned out her closet on Keeping Up With the Kardashians in 2012: “Sometimes silence is the best response.” Now toss it on the pile.

Pre-Fall 2015

Kenzo
Kenzo has never been a brand that conforms to what the rest of the industry is doing, and this fact was evident once again upon entering its pre-fall presentation in New York on Thursday. In an open studio space that was a welcome respite from the subzero temperatures outside, the looks were blocked off by brightly colored strings of beads suspended from the ceiling, allowing viewers to either walk or peek through at the clothing on the other side – as well as the label's lookbook shoot that was taking place simultaneously.

Creative Director Humberto Leon said he hoped that viewers would mosey around the open space and feel like they were a part of the action. "This collection is really about a community, a tribe, people coming together," Leon told Fashionista of the pre-fall range, which explains the inclusive feel of the presentation. "We wanted this feeling where these girls are doing their own thing and creating their own community — little things tie them back together, but they all have a different way of wearing things, protection and layering."

The idea of "protection" from the elements through clever layering was one of the key themes of the season, as was symbolism, which Leon and his partner Carol Lim used in hopes of creating a language for the group of strong women they're designing for — specifically in the form of hieroglyphics. "Every symbol has a tie back to food, water, protection, the sun — a lot of it talks back to everyday needs of a human being," Leon said. "We wanted to create this dialogue about what these kind of words mean to these people. It's almost like a secret language." 

The mixing of patterns and textiles was also a key point in the collection, and from the tribal symbols and bold graphic prints to the boldly colored fur that appeared in both clothing and accessories, it's clear that joining the Kenzo tribe also involves wearing things that will immediately get you noticed.

Dare I say,I think the collection reeks of creativity,Art, edgy-ness and high up on the cool factor.

Givenchy: Pre-Fall Runway '15




Huh..I don't know what happened to the flow that Givenchy had going on with the Girl-meets-boy +edgy+sexy look when I came to the one-shoulder dresses. I am not on par with those two creations.The last piece reminded me of the 1920-s minus the flapper dress-Very French chic as can be expected of the french house.
