Flowy, silky, towering heels, simple hairdos, the 3.1 Phillip Lim collection was supposedly all about the mystery woman. (they should’ve added a special mention for Rodarte: definitely Mulleavy inspiration in mixing & patching fabric: Ranya Mordanova’s black dress is a perfect example, after the jump!). Keeping the beauty makeup palette to a minimum with just [...]

Thoroughly planned deconstructive interior design with Maison Martin Margiela’s Line 13 white home collection. Supposedly decomposing design into elements and reinventing them, rebuilding them stitched together with a couture needle, Maison Martin Margiela’s “mat, satiné, brilliant” environment is ready to hit stores in October 2009. First presented at the Salone del Mobile, Milan 2009, the [...]

Easy urban chic, satiné accents and fringe-y necklaces. ADAM spring summer 2010 collection is really easy to wear with all its pastel colors and small flower bouquets prints. The prêt-a porter overall feeling and the relaxed look of the collection made me think about light summer days and evenings, about hot sidewalks and refreshing drinks. [...]

Last minute fittings! Last second arrangements! Major shows, major pressure! Haute designers, haute stress. Is there a secret class of stress management, some secret Harry Potter magic potion they all drink to make it zen? Designers at work equals stress.

How could you not love the classic cut, the colorful twist and the made-to-resist design? However, this is not a Puma [...]

Striking a beautiful, clean pose, the poster reads “Well fit. Fabric is my livelihood, and good health is the fabric of my life. That’s why my daughter and I love milk. It’s [...]

Baptiste Giabiconi photographed by Karl Lagerfeld isn’t exactly what I’d call a newsflash. It stopped being interesting and became downright dull. Predictable always lean towards dull. What you didn’t know, and fashion didn’t told us so far, is that those black high heels shoes you’re seeing in the picture (yes, that’s Baptiste right there, wearing [...]

Regardless of the overall prediction that high heels c’est du passé, Christian Siriano’s acclaimed collection recently presented during (the still ongoing) New York Fashion Week kept the towering heights for (at least) another season. Ferociously feminine and predominantly nude, pastel-ish (and generally summer-safe) collection, the Christian Siriano Spring Summer 2010 is the very Prada menace [...]
