five nights in moscow

Apologies for the delay on my Moscow recap but it was all for good reasons, a magazine in Russia called 'Sex and The City' had the exclusive to the experience. Sort of rad, right? And without further ado..

I'm pretty sure I spent more time in L.A. traffic last Friday than I did in Moscow for Fashion Week. I could not spare a moment on jetlag or differentiating between vodkas on account of all the clubs, after parties, restaurants (the food - so good you could die), and especially fashion shows, that kept me jet setting with the best of em.

I hosted a round table, multiple interviews with designers, including one with the President of Russian Fashion Week, had two showroom visits, playtime in a couture closet, all wrapped up in hundreds of photographs and hours of footage. It was a whirlwind adventure with a 360° view of Russian fashion and we had the time of our lives.

Full recap after the jump...

status

Photobucket
For years one of my (and my roommates) biggest girl crushes has been on our friend Natalie Levy. She is so chic, rad, amazing, fashion forward, yada yada yada. Oh and she started/designs Grey Ant with Grant Krajecki. No biggg dealllllz.

I'll never forget the first time I saw her wearing the black 'Status' sunnies. We were at some pool party in the val (years ago). Her bangs were perfect, outfit funky fresh and the shades were something on another level. I impatiently waited to order a pair but sadly they looked el terrible on my face. Perhaps in
translucent grey I'll have a second chance?

balenciaga leather paneled trousers

Photobucket
I was a bit hot just looking at her but I loved these Balenciaga leather paneled trousers that Charlotte Gainsbourg's wore during her Coachella number.

I'm sure they were worth every ounce of sweat and discomfort.

fringe

Photobucket
I hung out with Erika from P.S. I made this... while she was in town for her Pre-Earth Day Dasani Event and since have been hungry to rekindle my do-it-yourself love. I use to diy ALL the time but lately have been uninspired? Consumed with cooking, blogging, Moscow, Coachella, life? Or something? No more excuses.

I'm making a new list of projects starting with a fringe bag. Any other suggestions?

$27.80

Photobucket
Do you suffer from post traumatic stress, depression or anxiety after viewing the latest high end shoe collections? Perhaps you experience serious pain walking away from the shoes at Barney's knowing that you simply can not justify a pair of $700 shoes?

Yes, me too! That is why I give you these bad boys for twenty seven eighty at
Forever 21. Love you, mean it.

mesh leggings

How sick are these complexgeometries mesh babies on Camille?

I found a cheaper version at American Apparel but they don't appear to bet quite as scrunchable/rad/sleek/perfect. Maybe in a size up? I'll investigate.
