STYLE MAVEN: Christine Centenera











  









I still think this Celine pant is AMAZING!


Its no wonder that three of my favourite street style looks blogged about earlier this week was by none other than the ever stylish Christine Centenera. I am completely obsessed with her style. It is the perfect blend of edge and sophistication; and her shoe game is always on point.  Christine is the Fashion Editor at Harper's Bazaar Australia and also freelances as a stylist.  Last year she consulted with Kanye West on his first DW collection.  The collaboration began with Kanye West when the two met at Autumn/Winter 2011/2011 collections in Paris.  Christine flew to Paris twice a month to work with Kanye's line which launched at the Spring/Summer 2012 collections in New York.  

For me personally this woman can do no wrong in the style department.  Every time she is photographed, she looks impeccable and effortlessly chic.

If you pay attention to our previous "Trend Alert" posts, they are all centred on incorporating menswear pieces in a woman's everyday outfit. From baseball caps, to college jackets and nameplate chains... woman's fashion is getting a casual dose of androgyny.

I've had these looks sitting in my picture folder for months and wanted to do a post on it but didn't want to to the same old boring post on "My Favourite Street Style looks". So what I decided is to do a post on where to shop to get the "inspired" look. I have to say that these items are not your everyday purchase, but I thought it would be fun to know where to shop the look just in case you're the lucky person that has the resources to buy some of these extravagant items.  For the rest of us, there's nothing wrong with dreaming right?
