Shown in Paris in the fall 2007 this showstopping blazer is made for those who love a big entrance. The shoulders are not padded but adorned with many massive ruffles, beautifully framing the face. On the runway the cropped jacket was paired with a matching skirt, shoes and bag, all in houndstooth. These also could look great with jeans, a pencil skirt or just black pants. 

A vintage corset created by Gianni himself is perfect for the revival of the noughties. The black garment has woven in white pinstripes, providing a seriousness to an otherwise flirty top. For all the lovers of practical garments the piece is closed with a full-length zipper at the side, instead of the only decorative buttons in the back – easy access and very comfortable.  

Nina Ricci created this leopard print statement piece around the 80s. A harsh waistline is combined with a hear shaped neckline creating a structured yet very feminine cut. With its copper-metallic colouring the garment is overall sweet to look at as well as having a don’t mess with me attitude. 

A crisp, short sleeved, collared shirt is made very soft and feminine with embroidery anglaise details. The ultra-lightweight material is made for a laid back and relaxed summer look, no matter if buttoned up for a more proper appearance or worn open as a cover up over a bikini. 

This vintage gem from YSL Rive Gauche is for late Victorina inspired, due to the button-up sleeves. The dainty buttons are responsible for the more puffed up look at the upper arm. Also the blue stripes on a white base fit in the period, as does the high neckline. To make it more contemporary a big cut out was added – juxtaposing different times and design standards. 

A pair of patent leather red high heels is a classic. The almond shaped toe, the heel-height and the fire engine red colour are all the needed ingredients to create a shoe that will never go out of style.
