Back when I posted about Seelenkleid, not quite a year ago, I hadn’t started to tire of all-black clothing and was just beginning to appreciate an all-white palette. Fast forward not quite 12 months and the monochromatic white silhouette dominates Ella Haberlach’s latest with a sprinkling of midnight blue in the form of delicate devore velvet pieces (second piece below) and melted silicone. Lest you think all-white sounds immensely boring, just have a look at the collection. Haberlach plays with transparency, disintegration, softness and rigidity all to fascinating effect. Select pieces are available at pixie market and Doshaburi. (Don’t forget you can click the images to enlarge.)

Ok, back to Fashion Week for a minute. I love the latest from A.F. Vandevorst with the monochromatic looks in tan and red. I’m slightly embarrassed to admit that I’ve always loved the colour red even with its somewhat garish associations and incarnations. The tomato red tone in this collection is perfection, and I’ve really been liking the head-to-toe monochromatic looks that have been appearing all over (particularly white looks with white tights) lately. So anyways, you all surely remember their F/W 09 collection with the horse hoof boots? Well, where that collection was the horse, this collection is the rider what with jodhpur pants, breeches, tall, over-the-knee articulated boots, and a dramatic riding cape. Really an ace collection!
