“I think the most important thing is
to put your own personal touch on
everything you do.” With her signature
sweet voice and of course her stellar style,
Bucharest-based blogger, Carmen Negoita
manages to infuse her own personal touch and
sincerity into every blog post, sharing her passions
with her followers. The self-proclaimed shoe lover
(ala Carrie Bradshaw) took the time in between
her travels to tell Fashion MOST her favorite
trends from London and Milan fashion weeks,
describe her debut shoe collection and online
store, and reveal her own must-haves. With two
children, a family business, and fashion events
galore, it’s a wonder how Carmen finds the time.
Yet, somehow she does, and her beautiful images
and imaginative outfits inspire us to not only
elevate our own style, but turn our passions into
full-time occupations.
FMM: What was your favorite new trend you
saw at London Fashion Week?
CN: What I loved the most at London Fashion
Week were the flower printed kimonos, the fringes,
and the navy and mauve colors used in Bora
Aksu’s collections.
FMM: The 70’s had a lot of runway time-what is
your favorite 70’s look of the moment?
CN: My favorite is the tailored style, especially the
flared trousers and the coats. I wore a beautiful
red coat at one of the runway shows in London.
I also love jumpsuits, the active style, and as
accessories, shoulder bags-for example, those in
the Toga collection.
FMM: You have a post on your blog about the
top 7 bags from Milan Fashion Week-what else
did you see in Milan that inspired you and that
we should incorporate into our wardrobes?
CN: I love accessories, in general. There’s also a
new post on my blog about 10 types of footwear I
noticed during the fashion week. I am also crazy
about one particular bag which has an inspirational
message printed on it. These kinds of bags have
been very popular for the past two seasons, and
I haven’t gotten the chance to incorporate it in my
wardrobe yet. Another example is a two shades
Chloe Drew bag.
FMM: What are five transitional pieces to bring
from the winter wardrobe to incorporate into a
spring wardrobe?
CN: Denim shirt, any black and white item, the
trench, the short sweater– bouteille green, pink or
yellow, and the Oxford shoes.
FMM: Your Ana Parvan shoe collection is coming
out soon-how many styles and shoes did you
create and what was your main inspiration?
CN: My online store should be open in April. It will
also include the shoe collection I have designed
alongside Ana Parvan. There are 10 models
finalized so far, each one in several colors. I am
not considering myself as a designer, but some
of my preferences are there, mixed with today’s
trends, such as the mix between Oxford shoes
and gladiator sandals, which I wore during London
Fashion Week. >>>
