Alexander McQueen's minimalist ... Heroine

Alexander McQueen launches its new minimalist handbag - Heroine

The house of McQueen have just launched this day bag, different from the little skull clutch bags or anything else from their collection. This is a new functional bag, you can wear from day to night, very minimalist in its design which boasts glamour and elegance. 

It comes in different shapes and sizes, either in smooth leather, studded, or laser-cut crocodile bag. All fashionistas will be lining up to get their hands on it, I'm sure it will be the bag of the season. Heroine will be available in stores at the end of July and at the moment only the black version is available online. The black leather one retails for £1525

Simply beautiful!

Fashion Exams ... Polimoda

Fashion Exams ... the upcoming entrance exams at Polimoda in Florence and ESMOD Paris

It has been one hell of a week! I finally finished my thesis, I cannot believe it, I thought that this day would never come, it did and its over. Anyway, now coming up are my 2 fashion exams related to the Masters courses I applied for. 

I applied for Fashion Brand Management at Polimoda in Florence and Fashion Business at ESMOD Paris. 
 The Polimoda exam is tomorrow and it should take me around 15 hours, its long and intense, but worth every minute and hour. I will be analysing a brand, from advertising strategies and market strategies, and my brand of choice is Dolce & Gabbana, its the brand I know most, hoping to be a winner for me. After that I will be interviewed by the Course Coordinator .. I'm so excited!

Florence is magical, its Italy, its the food, its the architecture, the art .. all these influences will make the study experience worthwhile!


Watch the video ... you'll automatically start dreaming!

The ESMOD Paris exam is on the 13th of June, that will be a shorter exam, a two hour exam based on my knowledge of fashion, but I will post information when the exam is closer.

I cannot imagine if I pass both exams, which one will I choose. Florence v Paris ... Florence is winning me over, after all Italy is my first love. 

Off to study a bit. 

fingers crossed.
