Styling Session with Hanneli

I just saw this video with Hanneli Mustaparta and her H&M styling session where she uses items from their Spring/Summer 2011 collection. It is no secret that I am a huge fan of Hanneli and her styling, and she does definitely not disappoint in this video. Altogether she styles four different looks, ranging from grunge to festival to 70s to cute. I find them all so great, so I can not decide which look I like the most. I love the layering of the grunge outfit, but I also have a very weak spot for that 70s inspired jumpsuit.

Which look is your favourite?

Givenchy Haute Couture Spring 2011

I feel like no words can give the Givenchy Haute Couture Spring '11 collection any justice. The pieces are beyond incredible, with the exquisite detailing and the elegant symmetry created by the master and fashion genius, Ricardo Tisci. His inspiration for the couture collection is based on a concert held by Antony and the Johnsons as a tribute for the deceased japanese dancer Kazuo Ohno. Tisci told style.com that Ohno became a kind of muse for him. "Ohno provided the romance, the melancholy, and the palette (the colour of dried flowers)".

Together with this japanese elegance and softness, Tisci has worked in the elements that many of us links with Japan: electronics, and especially robots. The headpieces and the shoes are proof of this. This combination of new and old, hard and soft fascinates me deeply. Ricardo Tisci really is an amazingly talented designer.
