The tents are over-crowded with everyone who wants to relate to fashion to any extent – established writers, bloggers, fashion lovers, retailers, celebrities, and in some cases, their children and mothers. The entrances to the tents are crowded. There are shows that one needs to fight the nerve endings of their feet to stand in line to see – even if they have an invitation.

Thuy – I had a seat, which I dearly appreciated – and then I fell in love…

This girl is a young Balenciaga-esque girl. She has an edge and knows where she’s from and where she’s going. It was the incredibly celebrated tailoring and the impeccable execution of every garment that won me over.

There was a baby-blue, fearlessly-zipped cropped jacket paired with a front-pleated pant. A number of exposed-zipper items – in dresses and tops… Oh, and I don’t mind if I do – a sheer water-white shoulder-padded raincoat over a white flirty tank dress. The second to the last look – a one-shoulder soft-orange asymmetrical top showcasing the black fitted bra, paired with a front-leg zipped pant. Hello Matrix!

Tailored + Zipped = Thuy
