Here is a picture I really like of the adorable Kristina Bazan from the blog Kayture. I met her for the first time during the last Milan fashion week, at the Just Cavalli collection preview, thanks to my friend Ingrid.

We got to chat over a cup of tea and some patisseries and she turned out to be as lovely on the inside as she is on the outside! At only 19, her blog, which she created two years ago, quickly became a phenomenon thanks to her impeccable outfits shot as editorials, her poise and of course, her doll like face…

I was sitting front row, not that I was suppose to be there but as I arrived a little late, I took the first available seat in sight and it happened to be a good one.

After spending an afternoon at the Cavalli headquarter in Milan, I wanted to show you some of my favorite looks from the Just Cavalli collection. I really loved the color explosion that was propelled onto the catwalk, the chunky knits, the Asian references and then, the evening looks, such as the embroidered red party dress and blazer jacket below…
