Power shoulders seem to have crept back into fashion for the last year or two, starting with Martin Margiela sending out sharp and very wide shoulders for his Fall/Winter 2007 collection, and most noticeably, Christopher Decarnin's amazing SS09 & FW09 collections.

I love my Costume National jacket, from Ennio Capasa's Fall/Winter 2001 collection, which has worn so well in the last 7 or so years. I love its beautifully tailored thick wool, and it's nice to see that the design does not seem to have dated:
I dug up these pictures after I wore my outfit, and laughed when I saw the lace top worn on the runway looked so similar to the top I picked to wear under my Nathan Jenden dress, which in turn was worn under the same Costume National jacket above, haha...great minds think alike?
Alannah Hill 'I like it I'll take it' French Lace top
Nathan Jenden Suejogi black wool pleated dress (better pics HERE)
Costume National black wool jacket
Leona Edmiston Pins leggings in Onyx
Gucci patent studded stiletto heels (I took THESE close-up pics last year)
Shame black is so hard to photograph...oh, and please excuse my solemn face, someone walked past my driveway and I froze, haha...

The lace and the strong jacket is such a nice combination. And people walking by during picture taking--why must they always do that? :)
ReplyDeleteI adore the jacket! It's such a great idea to layer it with the lace underneath! You look alluring and elegant! I can never get enough of looking at Balmain collection! xxooxxoox

You look adorable, my dear!
ReplyDeleteFM~FP~AF
you looks absolutely stunning...love that lace shirt!!!
ReplyDeleteI love the combo of black lace and strong shoulders! I have a lace top with puffy shoulders and am looking for good layering options. And I'm right there with you on the fact that black is so difficult to capture on camera--- the details and richness are often lost in translation! You look hot anyway!
ReplyDeleteLove Balmain <3
ReplyDeleteGawd I love all these peaked shoulders!
ReplyDeleteYour whole outfit is amazing too!

Pointed shoulders are THE thing to wear!
ReplyDeleteIt's not easy to wear!!
You look amazing in your outfit! Very powerful, very chic and very outstanding! I would turn for you when I would see you on the street!! :) So I could only watch you with telescope eyes on my screen. I like that, too :)
So, as mentioned. Pointed or power shoulders are THE thing to wear right now. But stepping out on the street and the city and the nightlife you have to see so many FAIL pointed shoulder looks... Eeek!
Just finished my latest blog award work. Please, nobody send my any more blog awards until the next eclipse.... (not the movie!!)
wishing you a lovely wednesday - wow, and again it's middle of the week....
xoxoxo, sofie
