Julius is one of those labels which I personally admire for the beautiful craftsmanship, innovative cuts and extraordinary durability; There aren’t too many designer houses who would test their garments as carefully in practice as the team lead by Julius’ head designer Tatsuro Horikawa. His lastest collection for fall/winter 11/12, simply named “Halo;“, was not a disappointment either: Inspired by the contrast of the violent chaos of New York and Hong Kong and a peaceful atmosphere of a French monastery, you could definitely see the strong urban and religious references present in Horikawa’s designs. “Halo;” featured cleverly cut leathers, knits, tailored coats, draped tops, and thick coats in soft browns, black, luminous white and even gold – creating a cohesive and harmonious collection for next winter.

Just like heaven
I promise to pipe down about my Paris adventures after this post, so I hope you can tolerate one more. I wanted to share a place that is quite close to what I could call heaven: the Rick Owens store in Paris. If you’re in town, this beautifully composed boutique, located in the corridors of the magnificent Palais Royal, is definitely worth a visit. I made my two (and only) Paris purchases here, which haven’t been properly introduced yet. Just another thing to add on my ever growing “to do” list.

Let me take you to the heart of the city, let me misunderstand you
This blog has been on a well deserved break while the blogger and her photographer have been on a hectic summer holiday, including guests from California and traveling to Finnish Lapland.
Returning to the everyday life isn’t easy, especially when work is calling on Monday and summer is soon coming to its end. Hence, what better way to cheer up the mood than sharing some more of the fashion week pictures containing very soigné men, taken on a crazy night in the heart of Paris. The most discerning viewers might spot some familiar faces too.

Après le spectacle Damir Doma
I hope you are not tired of my Paris stories yet because here comes another one. After the Damir Doma show we decided to fool around, chat to some of the fellow street style photographers, and actually properly perpetuate my outfit for once. Do check out my friend Arash’s self-made wedges that I jokingly named as “Shit Owens“, and which Arash himself describes as “a desperate attempt at feeling fabulous” (after breaking three pairs of these RO medges during spring. Not to worry though, according to the very helpful and friendly Rick Owens sales people in Paris, with the new f/w 10 collection the quality issues have been solved). At least they provided entertainment and were one of the most photographed shoes out there. Arash dreams of becoming a shoe designer one day and I really don’t blame him for doing so, at least he is not lacking of imagination.
