Disney Couture Collection - Believe













As a child, I grew up believing in dragons, princesses, fairytales, pirates, wicked witches, the frog prince and beautiful castles with fireworks igniting every night! I lived a childhood filled with story telling, dreams and imagination! Life was so simple...

I'm sure like a lot of people I know, Disney films had a major impact on them whilst growing up. Disney made me believe the impossible! It brought me to a world of sparkly lights and possibilities. With my busy schedule, I forgot those moments existed until I saw a little girl in a snow white costume at the local shopping mall. It made me realise that those moments can still be apparent if I want it to be, most importantly .... I had the chance to believe

Disney isn't limited to childhood dreams, as a much older individual, I can still have the moment to reminisce the past experiences with the Disney Couture Collection. I don't understand how this had surpassed me but my heart melted when I saw the collection. Each piece is plated in 14ct gold and represents a Disney Film.

I discovered these pieces on ASOS and are currently in my cart, getting ready to purchased right now. I'm so so so EXCITED!!!

Karl Lagerfeld


Besides practising my photographic work during my spare time, I have a love of reading biographies. Reading about people's lives and going through their journey to meet their dream is always so inpiring to me. It makes everything seem so reachable and everything impossible possible!

Today, I was reading Karl Lagerfeld. It all started off with Lagerfeld winning first prize at a wool contest, where he became Pierre Balmain's design assistant at a young age of 17. Three years in, he had become and art director for Jean Patou, wher he had deepen his knowledge in history, architecture, music and french.

Perfume had become as important as fashion for Lagerfeld, which had triggered him to launch "CHLOE" in 1975. His initiative made him the first designer to brand a scent globally before having a fashion label! After this success came more perfume labels to add to name.

By 1984, he created his own "KARL LAGERFELD" line whilst collaborating with the house of CHANEL and signed in new collaborations with CHLOE!

Like me, Karl Hagerfeld had a passion for photography and decided to move behind the lens in 1987 and build up his own advertising campaigns. These campaign had become part of a book and his talent led him to do photo shoots for prestigous magazines as one of his very many jobs.

Karl Lagerfeld is a man of many talents. His passion is what drove his success. He adapted more than one skill and used it to his advantage!

I'm keeping my fingers crossed and hope that one day....I will be just as talented as Lagerfeld himself!

Below are Karl Lagerfeld's most recent collection. They look absolutely divine!

Enjoy
