The Fashion Week Dress Code

We are in the high season for fashion shows, with thousands of bloggers, editors and buyers who are preparing to participate to them. But what do you wear at a fashion shows? After a week of researching, here are my results. I created 4 outfits with Polyvore for you and I also posted some photos from which I took inspiration. What do you think? Have you ever been to a fashion week?

“Fashion shows should be a time to dress with a personal elegance, perfectly built for yourselves and not the parody of a world that is changing and where it seems that nobody wants to acknowledge it. The world is changing and it is not the time to be over the top. It is not even socially classy. It’s almost insulting.

Elegance has be creative, even eccentric, but not ridiculous. There isn’t an absolute good or bad taste. There is what looks good and what looks bad. To each it’s own interpretation of free fashion. But enough of this useless ostentation. ”

TIP: more than anything keep it simple and add accessories to punch up your outfit

A semi-transparent long blouse and a pair of denim shorts. Because it will definitely be too cold to go around in shorts in winter (and also ridiculous), a pair of patterned tights underneath. To punch up everything, black clutch bag and stiletto heels (not as high ad in this picture, as I would die in them after 15 minutes) and red jewellery. And obviously my always-present red lipstick.

Sort-of-bronze color blazer (with a 3/4 sleeve), simple black t-shirt and black shorts, with patterned tights underneath. Brown messenger bag, strappy ankle boots and lots of bracelets. This is my favourite one and probably the one I’m going to choose in the end, as it is quite sophisticated, even though it looks effortless, but also comfy and versatile.

Siamo in pieno periodo sfilate, con migliaia di bloggers, redattori e buyers che si preparano per parteciparvi. Ma come ci si veste alle sfilate di moda? Dopo circa una settimana di ricerche, ecco i miei risultati. Ho creato 4 outfit con Polyvore per voi e ho anche postato delle foto da cui ho preso ispirazione. Voi che ne pensate? Siete mai stati ad una settimana della moda?

“Le sfilate dovrebbero essere il momento per vestirsi con un’eleganza personale, costruita ad hoc per se stessi e non una parodia di un mondo che sta cambiando e di cui sembra che nessuno voglia prendere atto. Il mondo cambia e non è il momento di essere sopra le righe. Non è neanche socialmente di buon gusto. È quasi offensivo.

L’eleganza deve essere creativa, anche eccentrica, ma non ridicola. Non c’è buono o cattivo gusto in assoluto. C’è quello che ti sta bene e quello che ti sta male. Ad ognuno la propria interpretazione della moda, libera. Ma basta con queste ostentazioni inutili.”

Una blusa lunga e semi-trasparente e un paio di denim shorts. Dato che farà decisamente troppo freddo per girare in pantaloncini in inverno (e sarebbe pure ridicolo), metterei un paio di collant ricamati sotto. Per rendere il tutto più particolare, clutch e decolletés nere (con il tacco non so così alto come qui nella foto, perchè ci morirei dentro dopo circa 15 minuti) e gioielli rossi. E ovviamente il mio irrinunciabile rossetto rosso.

bqcdaaaaawodanbnaaaabc5vdxqkfkfreut1wk1snejhoultdjncnghrvfeaaaacawqkawwaaaaec2l6zq1 The Fashion Week Dress Code

Un blazer di un colore bronzeo (con la manica a 3/4), una semplice maglietta nera e pantaloncini, con delle calze ricamate sotto. Una messenger bag, dei polacchini dal tacco basso e comodo e una serie di bracciali, tutti marroni. Questo è il mio preferito e probabilmente quello che scegliereri, perchè è alquanto sofisticato, pur sembrando effortless, ma anche pratico e versatile.

Un Little Black Dress con un gilet di pelliccia sopra. Delle scarpe con il tacco, una borsa e i braccialetti, tutti neri. Per dare un punto di luce, un foulard e il rossetto rosso.

LBD with a fur vest on top. Black stilettos, bag and bracelets. To give a bit of brightness a silk scarf and the red lipstick.

    un altro bellissimo articolo ^^!
    il secondo outfit mi piace davvero moltissimo…semplice elegante ma con grinta! e poi concordo con te su rossetto..irrinunciabile e fantastico! il meglio secondo me: un pò di mascara e rossetto rosso…un make-up semplice ma di effetto!
    io speravo di riuscire a vedere la fashion week londinese…e invece arrivo troppo tardi :( ( di poco tra l’altro!sono ancora qui che mi mordo le mani ^__^

    Io vado su questo week-end a Londra, e ho scelto il secondo outfit alla fine da indossare!!! Per questo mi è venuta l’idea per questo articolo! Grazie del complimento e sono d’accordo con te: preferisco un make-up semplice sugli occhi e forte sulle labbra :)

    ^___^ allora sei anche tu alle prese con la valigia per londra…io sto impazzendo XD troppe cose e troppo poco spazio!Sbircerai qualche sfilata???

    Sisi parto domani pomeriggio e non ho ancora iniziato a farla. Però vado solo un week-end quindi dovrei essere a posto! Mmm non sono sicura per le sfilate.. Il fatto é che vado lá perchè devo incontrare una donna che lavora nella moda per parlare di una possibilità di esperienza lavorativa per quest’estate. Non ho ancora capito bene come si svolgerá la giornata, ma puó darsi che debba seguirla a qualche sfilata, il che non mi dispiace affatto :)
