Exploring the glamour of the 1930's and the sexy sophistication of Dietrich, Bae's Hi Summer collection strides into summer juxtaposing manstyle shapes with feminine elegance.

Taking a tailored approach to the season, boxy double breast vests in rich silk-satin stand alone as mini dresses. Polished tuxedo jackets are worn back with tailored shorts. Expertly cut dresses glide and fall over the body dropping to the floor in double weight silks. Lace is introduced in a sexy peek-a-boo cami to soften structured lines. Discreetly slashed at the waist, the cami is a seductive hint when worn underneath the tailored tuxedo.

Shoulders are highlighted with graciously falling circular cut frills, plunging necklines and sexy cutaways. A mini dress of porcelain cotton cascading frills sits alongside a backless shift of layers, twirling into a gigantic blossom. Bias cut dresses that flow close to the body balance out the voluminous frills. Simple yet elegant, silk strapless pantsuits gently blouson from the waist, gathering just above the ankle.

Colours take their hues from late summer sunsets. Sanguine shades of burnt orange, blush and powdered pink are grounded with navy, black and white. The 30's fantail print of lucid blue-green and pink feels ethereal and is contrasted with a graphic vintage clover print in cream and black.

Dietrich is famous for her distinct and original style; sharp tailoring paired with elegance and attitude. Yeojin Bae has created a veritable collection of the seasons' coveted party wear that embody the spirit of a true original.

Paris Fashion Week: Karl Lagerfeld, Christian Lacroix, Givenchy

I'm not usually a fan of Lagerfeld but what he came up with this season for his own label I really like. The two-toned looks, the gorgeous shapes and that hilarious "face"-bag! I also really like the combination of those very structured pieces with the black tulle.


Lovely collection. A lot of nice pieces and amazing details. I think the whole show had a wonderfully positive feel to it.


Apart from the horrible mix of leather and denim in some looks I found the collection to be teriffic. You can see Tisci's signature gothic references but there's also a certain girly-ness in this collection which is a nice contrast I think.
And just how great are those black overknee boots?!!
