Veronica Moncho Lobo is a London based designer who was born and raised in Salta, Argentina.
Salta is a city rich in the arts, with a vast amount of museums, theatres, and art galleries which I feel plays a part in the inspiration of Veronica's unique line. Veronica comes from an artistic family, with her own strong background in Fashion, so with both hand in hand she was always destined to go far. In February 2008 along with her brother Fernando Moncho Lobo, Veronica launched her very own clothing line, and later went on to open a boutique in 2010. Her label is now stocked around the world, in London, New York, Saudi Arabia, to name a few. Ms Moncho Lobo certainly stands out, as she combines her love for couture, with celebrating the arts in timeless yet classic pieces. Her Spring/Summer 2011 collection certainly caught my eye. I instantly fell in awe of this particular piece 'Juliet'.

The daddy of fashion weeks showed no sign of recession this season as the big guns of couture displayed their best on Parisian catwalks this July.
Highlights included Elie Saab, wowing with layers upon layers of luxe fabric, texture and sumptuous draping and jewel encrusted gowns. At Dior, Galliano was on top form as usual, creating a tropical storm with striking netted gowns and abstract, enlarged floral prints.
Karl Lagerfeld created a winter wonderland at Chanel with padded and quilted fabrics in monochrome blocks lined with fur; and Valentino pitched to the younger customer this season: all frills and bows and exaggerated A-line minis which may surprise their regulars but hopefully not alienate them.

Dominating as one of the biggest must-have accessories for winter 2010, the cape will be in stores soon. Luxury alpaca label, Magenta 8 offers a beautiful range including the pictured kimono-style, belted cape in ivory with golden silk satin lining and fine detailing. All Magenta 8 pieces are available in naturally occurring alpaca colours: black, charcoal, camel and ivory.
Considered ‘the fibre of the gods,’ alpaca is prized for its rich, lustrous and silky properties. Alpacas, the source of this luxury fibre, are inhabitants of the Andean highlands and bred exclusively for their globally coveted fleece.
Alpaca is water resistant, lighter, finer and stronger than most wool fibres and is warmer than even cashmere. Alpaca does not pill or loose shape, making eac and every piece of Magenta 8’s an investment that will last for years. It is considered a specialist fibre and does not contain lanolin, making it perfect for sensitive skin.
The Magenta 8 collection includes handmade tailored coats, hooded capes, tuxedo jackets and cropped boleros exuding femininity, warmth, luxury and elegance.
“Moving into the new season I wanted to create a special piece that is wearable for women of all shapes and sizes with a feminine, chic edge. I think Magenta 8 has achieved this with our belted cape.” Giovanna Velasquez
