Fashion week-esque outfit. Second day of local Fashion Week, and not really passionate about the "streetstyle" around and the general lack of unique style, original pieces, outfits and wannabe teenagers wearing 17cm heels, I decide to reveal against all this and wear this mix inspired by the latest Dolce & Gabanna shows creating a vibrant yet classy interpretation of the shows seen on Milan. Such a lucky girl I felt for finding this D&G neoprene fabric on a local fabric store, and turn it into a DIY circle skirt just in time!

We suffered from a really weird weather during those fashion days, and you could leave home on a super cloudy sky filled with cold air, but then arrive downtown to face that it wasn't raining anymore, and it started being warm again. That didn't make things easy at all. Add spending some hours between show and show, running from here to there, taking pictures while being as aware as possible to every single detail, and you had the perfect "I died because of tiredness" cocktail. It was great, but maybe next season I won't stay all the Fashion Week thing. Anyway, and at least during second day I was still able to wear high heels (as you can see). Some sparkly accessories to achieve that fairytale princess look D&G's been showing, and some black to balance the outfit. Unintentionally I attracted plenty of attraction, I think mostly because of the skirt.

I think that was the day I was spotted as a fashion blogger at first sight.

Last day of Valencia Fashion Week. Our 3 chaotic fashion-centric days at the local Fashion Week ended with this shows which were the final bang to the new Spring/Summer season collections. Some of the most established designers around Valencia like Eugenio Loarce, María Cózar Couture and Anillarte  were in charge to close not only this three day staging, but also a whole year of hard work, fittings and tests to check that everything is perfect, to assure that every piece will be a success.

On a Fashion Week whose main characters have been emerging designers, enjoying shows featuring pieces made by designers with lots of years on their back just felt like seeing schoolmasters teaching how it all works to their pupils. The contrast was interesting and engaging at the same time.

Signs of delicacy, elegance and softness were constant. María Cózar Couture was in charge to close this XVII Valencia Fashion Week, on a super crowded show preceded by the Awards given to designers and their collections, including the new designers and the Zona D. A show full of lace, super flowy patterns modeling soft and romantic silhouettes.  

Getting back to first day of local Fashion Week. It's incredible how it doesn't really matter where you are placed on the world, a Fashion Week is always a Fashion Week, and that means impossible outfits and certain people clamoring around for attention with their looks. Sometimes I've even wondered if there's a kind of non-written code on "What to wear on fashion month". Looks like the stranger the thing you're wearing, the best.

Anyway. That's only my honest opinion. During all the three days full of shows and craziness, I've been accompanied by the nice duo behind Fashionart, the fashion club and platform Made in Valencia which is always keeping up with the local news about style, and designers who are around our city via their fan page. I think we had a really great time talking about streetsyle, shows and fashion in general, as we did watching every show!

We had the chance to see some shows on the front row, and take nice pictures because of that! As the weather has been a bit crazy lately, I decided to go on the classy and simple outfit with this palazzo pants and kimono from local designer Benavente. Finally it didn't rain, thank goodness, because those pants were too long (I have to fix them!) and rain would have ruined all the look. Maybe I went a little bit too much for the japanese samurai outfit but, I think it finally ended looking nice! I think it's the first time I got to wore that kimono on a way I really liked.

Then, simple accessories as my pearl earrings and matching necklace to create a minimalistic but comfortable outfit to spend the whole evening. Alluring but not excessive, don't you think?

Thanks to Eduardo for the pictures!
