He’s a mid-riff baring visual poet. If only he lived in the ‘hood so we could borrow some of his thingsss. But alas, he prefers to keep it exotic decorating the streets of Casablanca. The boy can’t help it, he is doing his duty spreading the fashion gospel with his own ultra special touch. I mean, who else could we create a story called Berber Grunge. Even Franca Sozzani is checking him out on Instagram-which image do you think she liked?

After Chanel’s 2014 Spring/Summer museum gala-like presentation, it’s time for the private viewing.
The collection was all about bright and bold colors(sorry TRS fashion photos are timeless black and white-so use your imagination!) and each looks beautifully fused the modern art vibes into fashion.
Spaghetti strap dress with fringed hems which feature rainbow pantone print, “Monster Bead” shaped pearl necklace and trompe l’oeil pumps which looks as if a pair of socks are layered underneath, are the most wanted items this season, while rather classical pieces such as tweed ensembles in fuchsia pink or black and white lace dress will surely suit any occasions. We like to wear them to the conveni or karaoke.
And, yes, this season featured a ginormous variation of bags. Leather canvas cases in signature beige and black combinations, dirty looking graffitied backpacks, rainbow print chain bags or hardware-clad matelasse in metallic pink and blue have us begging for mercy.
These babies to hit stores in March, take a look at the gallery above and make a wish list, because these all are sold in a very limited numbers. Who wants to fight us for the acrylic clutch?

Let’s kick off the first post of the year with one of the most talked-about shows among the extravagant 2014 Spring/Summer Paris collections: Chanel.
This season Chanel focused on interactive communication between fashion and art, and the venue Grand Palais turned into an arena-equivalent of a museum with a collection of original modern art pieces including paintings, promiscuous mixed-media and the larger-than-life sumo wrestler sculpture we wanted to take home with us.
The artsy vibes felt even more conspicuous when the models walked down the runway in bright, bold and vibrant patterns with eye make-up to match. The back packs were to die for as was the soundtrack by Michel Gaubert, our musical P-P-P-Picasso, baby.
The hottest models played art school students while TRS was lucky enough to sit in the front of the class along with our school mate Anna Dello Russo!
Grade A moment of the S/S season!
