LA REDOUTE x CORALIE MARABELLE x CHRISTINE PHUNG x ETIENNE DEROEUX

It's been a while since I've done a lookbook post or simply posted pictures of a collection I liked in a kind of an inspiration. Amidst my fashion week diaries I wanted to take a minute and share a special designer collaboration and images of 3 lookbooks with you guys.
Special because it is a collaboration between a giant and three new faces on the horizon of fashion. The french fashion house giant La Redoute known for fashion from shorts to evening robes, has teamed up to support three up and coming fashion talents in a designer collaboration highlighting these young creatives - Coralie Marabelle, Christine Phung and Etienne Deroeux for A/W 2015 collection.
I love seeing big houses collaborating and supporting young designers. It's one of the most refreshing things seeing a new designer at fashion week and thinking about whats next for them. Now they are out in the open, what will they create next? Now that they have the resources and exposure, what will they make? Anyway I very much liked the capsule collections and the lookbooks, which is why I had to share.

MBFW BERLIN FASHION WEEK - DAY THREE

lois-opoku-berlin-fashion-week-streetstyle-sandro-lisforlois
Another day, another Fashion Week report! Let's embark on my adventures for day 3. This time again in my usual colourful spirit. I wore the most luxe Sandro piece on which I spent my savings on without a blink of an eye, paired with the coolest shoes in my entire closet. I'm so in love with this piece and the heels. Both new. But naturally I didn't leave the house without a pair of flats in my bag, which is why part of the day I wore flats. But, yes my outfit was on point most of the day! ;P

MBFW BERLIN FASHION WEEK - DAY TWO

For day 2 I choose a one of the boys but still sexy feminin look. ..Or at least I tried. I think this was my most daring and fun look, although it's all black errthang. I say that because during Fashion Week I didn't actually wear a bra, underneath the blazer. But during the outfit shooting the blazer wouldn't stay in place (hence the hideous looking fit. It's actually very form fitting and complementing. Usually..) so I had to play it safe. I'm so in love with my Selena Gomez x Adidas NEO joggers/harem pants and they were perfect for the look I was trying to create. I wish I wasn't so color blind when I choose my bag, because clearly that red MK was a complete different hue and didn't quite match my berry lips or shoes. Oh well..
Nonetheless I loved wearing this look although it made me sweat A LOT during the hot and hectic day.

MBFW BERLIN FASHION WEEK - DAY ONE

Hey guys!
How have you been? I've finally been able to upload my first fashion week diary. And like in true old fashion I will take you along my day from morning to end and show you my outfit. Although I didn't do particularly much on day one as opposed to the million shenanigans I used to be up to, I had a fun day that left me tired and happy to be in bed afterwards.
Scroll down for outfit details. (All the way at the end of the post like always ;) )
Let's get started.

ABOUT FASHION WEEK.. AND THE TREND OF COMPLAINING

Well, the fashion world is filled with superficial people. *Shocker* It's nothing new, and it comes with the territory. That is the business and it's been like that every fashion week. Yet somehow blogpost complaining and ranting and assessing and judging have been surfacing like fake Chanels in a Chinese factory - quicker than you can spell F.A.K.E and in multitude. *Sigh*.. Don't get me wrong, most of the posts are legit and have a very good point.
But honey, misery is not a good color for you, complaining doesn't suit you and judging makes you look fat.

YOUTUBE: VLOG - SHOP WITH ME, YOUTUBER FASHION SHOW & SHIRIN DAVID FANTREFFEN

vlog lois opoku youtube
The music-cockblock-association aka GEMA fucks my brain. Getting this vlog up was next level struggle.
After my video being blocked in 27 countries (of course Germany was first on the list) for using a remix that sounded too close to the original for the content ID claim robot, I had to cut the video again after finding a great indie musician on soundcloud.
Turns out this not-so-undercover indie artist got somewhat famous so her old song became subject to a copyright claim. Same game over again.
At this point I couldn't care less about being able to monetize the video or not. After being stripped of that right, GEMA still had the audacity to block that song SOLELY in Germany. Like fuck why??? I just wanted it to be viewable regardless of where you are. And I came so close to saying, well fuck it and fuck you Germany, if want to see my video go to www.unblockyoutube.com
From here on out, it's not my wahala.
Bye. I'm out!

But being as caring as I am about my readership and viewers (hello to every 176 of you on Youtube!! <3), I couldn't let it not by my wahala.

So I finally beat the music-cockblock-association and the content ID claim robot, while still being able to find somewhat acceptable music for my video (actually I'm digging this song very much), but I couldn't bother to cut the video according to beat anymore. Forgive me.
Anyway I'm happy that my first vlog is up and it is like a homevideo of a really cool day. I take you shopping with me and my friend Sophie, just us girls being girls. Later we get to have some fun with INDIE Magazine + a shooting and I met the cutest fan girls!
I don't want to say to much since I want you to waste your next 12 minutes of your life watching my video! ;)

Peace, Love and BYE-Felicia-BYE-gema
