What a lovely surprise! Literally out of the blue, an Opening Ceremony pretext to record yet another bald fashion move around the petite daring fashion label.
The Teen Choice Awards 2009, held Sunday 9 August had (former Gilmore Girl) Alexis Bledel on board, dressed in blue to match her eyes but looking all questionably stylish. Just look at her – doesn’t she has that face “How do I look? Is my dress ok?” Nah, you should have put something else on, really! I don’t know what they told you back at Opening Ceremony, but lace is soooo last season! (photos via)
Now this is one of those moments I feel happy to help out the economy, like our friend, Adriana said! (and so blessed to not having to give into the Prada fisherman boots temptation!) Timberland rolled up their sleeves and worked on a ladies collection!
Just look at those beauties! I’d take one of each! Lucille Lace Up in tan or black ($290 each) or Marge lace-up in tan ($190) and Gavie Kiltie in black ($170). Can you really hold back? (the Timba-ladies madness starts September 1st!) (Lucky via Refinery29)
I’m one to think as the British elegantly put it “too poor to buy cheap” that quality is important. But branding and quality are not supposed to come together as one in an effort to spend more just to buy the label.
A $1,600 Prada hat is the perfect example of how to spend all your money (and more) for a fashionable pretext that can really undermine your credibility: Anne Christensen is a well respected women fashion director for NY Times T Magazine. Why she bought a $1,600 Prada hat?
I have fair skin, I work in fashion and I tend to hang on to things for a very long time. That is how I can justify (although I know it seems nearly impossible) the price of this Prada hat. But hear me out. Not only will this hat keep the sun off my face, but also I can wear it at the beach or in the city — and, well, I need a replacement for the Kangol cap I have now worn for about eight years. And for those of you who would suggest that I buy myself a $19.99 glue gun and make my own Prada hat, believe me, I would if I could! For now I’ll take the ready-made version and think of the money it might save me on dermatologist bills down the road.
The September Issue, the fash-awaited Vogue-mentary about and around Anna Wintour is near! The teaser makes the rounds of the fashblogosphere hoping that The September Issue will erase The Devil Wears Prada from the world’s memory.
Or at least fashionably replace it with the new portrayal of Anna Wintour, Fashion’s Iron Lady. I’m no fan of teasers when it comes to movies, but this really is the sample that should convince us to see The September Issue documentary? (via)
Watch out, Metropolitan Museum of Art’s 2009 Gala, here come the Stella Girls! Four gorgeous ladies stunning the Red Carpet observers: Liv Tyler, Kate Hudson, Kate Bosworth all dressed up in Stella McCartney!
Liv Tyler’s blue dress flatters her complexion and she’s looking flawless as usual, Kate Hudson golden locks complimented by her shimmery golden dress and Kate Bosworth looking just like Nicole Kidman! But why do you wear that lacey outfit, Stella? Isn’t it too Prada for you? Which one of the Stella Girls is your favorite tonight? Don’t miss the gallery after the jump! (photos via)
My visions on architecture and fashion go as far as the new Prada Transformer. Being a highly praised mix of fashion, architecture and art, the new Prada Transformer actually makes me think about Chanel and Zaha Hadid’s Bag-Art Pavilion with undissimulated nostalgia and appreciation.
The Prada Transformer was conceived by Rem Koolhaas as a four-in-one tent-exhibition: Art Exhibition, Cinema, Fashion Waist Down Exhibition, Special Event (Fashion Show) all physically rolled to fit into the same architectural structure (the story continues right after the jump with more images and inside videos)
The Prada Lace is definitely losing ground! Hilary Duff, one of those celebs hunted for her choice of outfits (not necessarily in a bad way) who was spotted wearing a Prada bag with lace print on changed for a Muxo bag.
Hilary was no stranger to Prada bags (she was also spotted wearing one of those fairy blossoms bags from last season) so choosing a Muxo bag now makes me wonder if it was a freebie or celebs are really falling for the handmade idea of the Muxo bags. Camila Alves’s collection is far from being unattractive and her current relationship with Matthew Mcconaughey only helps the promotion of her designer talents. (more after the jump)
Just like the last Prada campaign, the new Spring Summer 2009 ads comes in episodes. I was somewhat surprised by the lace magnitude of the Fall Winter Collection signed Prada, but I loved their spokesface – Linda Evangelista. So I sang along their song and patiently waited for a lace-calm down.
When it finally happened, the new Prada ads were issued and even if I hoped for an improvement, all I got was a beige domino line. Now I’m graced with the black domino line. 7 models, all lined up for a photo wearing clothes that could bring the ironing industry to a sure bankruptcy but leaving me without any buying Prada desire whatsoever. Do these ads work for you? )click photo to see larger image)(photo via tfs)
