I like Oscar de la Renta’s Resort 2013 more than I did Chanel’s or Bottega Veneta’s collections because OdlR is certified classic gold. His ball gowns are enchanting and his signature elegant designs are timeless. De la Renta’s Resort collection was classic with a twist, though. The house’s trademark flowers were declined in laser cut [...]

Fashion Architecture
In my daily strolls on the vast alleys of the interwebs, I come across true wonders I must share with you. This is one of those precious finds: a parallel between New York Fashion Week and architecture wonders around the world. I love these unexpected pairings, inspiring tidbits sweeping the fashion shores with majestic architecture [...]

Flower Power: Alexander McQueen Fall Winter 2012 2013 Collection
I know you’ve all seen the McQueen collection by now, but I just couldn’t let it go without saying how much I loved it! I wish I could’ve done it sooner, sadly, four kids down with the cold tends to cloud my fashion vision! But now that they’re feeling so much better, the sun is [...]

Stefano Pilati’s Last: YSL Fall Winter 2012 2013 Collection
All is in the rumors, in the fashion industry. And that is a fact. Stefano Pilati was rumoredly let go from Yves Saint Laurent. However, people started talking about his departure from YSL last season, so it mustn’t be a surprise for Pilati. We shouldn’t be as naïve as to think that he wasn’t aware [...]

Crystallized: Chanel Fall Winter 2012 2013 Collection
That’s how I feel Karl Lagerfeld is! Chanel Fall Winter 2012 2013 Collection was, although I’m sure everyone will applaud it, sterile. It was over complicated, too intricate, derelict-uous instead of glamorous. It’s like Lagerfeld had crystallized, thus no longer permitting outside influence and fashion novelty to get in the Chanel house. This show was [...]

Black (Leather) Is All We Need: Givenchy Fall 2012 Collection
I really had no idea leather and fur could produce such (some wonderful) variations and combinations! Givenchy Fall Winter 2012 2013 is one of those “wow!” collections you don’t want to miss during a fashion week season. This fall order is drama, dark drama and Riccardo Tisci can fill that drama with so much passion, [...]

Tilda Swinton Makes First Row BFF With Franca Sozzani
She may not have graced the Oscars, but Tilda Swinton didn’t miss Paris Fashion Week as well! She was in the first row at the Lanvin Fall 2012 fashion show (Tilda has worn Lanvin numerous times, so her being there isn’t really a surprise). Seated next to her was the wonderful fashion pioneer Franca Sozzani. [...]

Nomad Style: Hermes Fall Winter 2012 2013 Collection
It’s like Hermes is trying to pin point its fashion identity. Without much success, though. Or, if we look at it the other way – Hermes is perfect for those who are all over the fashion map. A day in the desert Russian steps, a day in the hot Moroccan sun, a misty night passing [...]
