To men, a beard represents a lot of things; masculinity, self-statement, style, and a lot more. Men grow beards for reasons sometimes unfathomable to women; 1) They find stroking their beards enjoyable; 2) Beards make them look like Chuck Norris; 3) They are too lazy to groom

However, as women we believe that all that matters is what we think about beards. Especially this style that's been roaming the streets for quite a while.

Hold your horses right there, this has got to be a tad over the top, hasn't it? Let's just stick to the dudes who found a replacement their increasingly unhipster hipster glasses and still look fine as hell.

Amidst the elaborate nuance of this season's designer releases, Victoria Beckham chose to do it like *a dude*. Minimal, sleek, straight on point. As if the monochrome trend could not get any more attention, Victoria Beckham Fall/Winter 2014 offers a different spectrum of fashion enthusiasts (The ones who actually live lives of colors, not monochromatic ones as those on Instagram. Seriously.) a range of black and white lovables with a hint of red. With boyish square cuts and heavy curb chains, we had to remind ourselves over and over again that, no, Phoebe Philo is still working at Cèline.

The knee-length coats and pointed lace-ups are the stars, for their masculinity and edge. Pleated skirts worn under waistcoats (or long tops) might just be the season's trend. We would look out for those on the streets. If anybody can man-dress a girl, that would be Posh.

On June 11th, after a year of wallowing in the previously untouched realm of young Indonesian designers, Fashion First celebrated its success in making the realm more touchable, approachable and appealing. For its 1st anniversary, the boutique did not only put up the most fashionable event for the most fashionable people in town but also showcased what it has to offer in the future. It was revealed that Fashion First is to house designs from 5 talented young Indonesian designers namely Rinda Salmun, Day and Night by Yelle, Amanda Rahardjo, Lulu Lutfi Labibi and Vone by Ivonne.





At 4 pm, all the attendants gathered and sat down on the lined white seats in the middle of the room to watch the fashion show. Hosts Aline Adita, Wulan Guritno, and Miss Indonesia 2014 Maria Rahajeng watched with amusement while Ayla Dimitri decided that she too should walk with the models down the aisles.

Any Indonesian designer that has held a show in Paris Fashion Week should be proud of themselves. This Indonesian designer could not be prouder of himself (in the most humble way possible). Today we give you Indonesia's very own Didit Hediprasetyo that has made it big in the international fashion scene.

Going through photos of Giambattista Valli Couture Fall/Winter 2014's show, we had a hard time deciding on two things; have Valli made up his mind? Flowers or stripes?; and; how are we gonna make up our minds? Flowers or stripes?

But then we thought why pick? Valli thinks it's totally ok to wear both at the same time. But then again, he's not helping us with choosing.

Shirtdresses dominate the show somehow despite its number on the catwalk being less than that of the flowery frocks. Shirtdresses, both symmetrical and asymmetrical, collared and collarless, wide and tapered built the collection. Valli made shirtdresses more versatile, not only for casual day but also for a dressy evening.

Then there were these dresses with tuille skirts peppered with flower embroideries, and a chance of stripes. And we did not know mink could get along really well eith flowers, but the did by the hands of Giambatistta Valli. Just give them a look:

The white headbands worn by all of the models added a chic travelling-Frenchwoman look. All in all we agree Giambattista Valli did an outstanding job on this one.
