Sharing the same inspirations that shaped Karl Lagerfeld’s Pre-Fall 2009 collection for Chanel, Flair Italy editorially captures the luxury of Tsarist Russia in their July 2009 issue. Moving away from the folkish elements of the luxury bohemian trend, the ornate headpieces and opulent furs make for highly striking shots, however less likely to be emulated on the streets.

Some people's wardrobes are about a small selection of pieces that all fit within one aesthetic - Tania Braukamper isn't such a person. With a wardrobe that spans three different rooms, her approach to fashion is a mixture of current-season key pieces mixed with vintage finds she's sourced on innumerous shopping trips around the world's more cultured capitals. Despite a disparate approach to shopping, Tania is adamant that the key to mixing vintage with new season is to stick to key looks and colours that work for oneself. And it's a theory that she works into her writing for Fashionising.com, where she serves as the publication's Editor.
