The Metropolitan Museum of Art presented this year’s Costume Institute Benefit Gala with more stars lining up on the Red Carpet than an ordinary Oscar event. And to think that Anna Wintour’s curated event was under the influence of the American Women (fashioning a National Identity) circa 1890-1940! I was trying hard to see through [...]

You remember that Vogue Paris picture of Claudia Schiffer with the lovely, lovely sweater? Can you believe that’s actually a very affordable H & M sweater?

Embodying Fashion but the trick is that even if some played the sure value with Marc Jacobs, Louis Vuitton, Versace and so on, there weren’t many pointing in the good fashion direction.

Liya Kebede is one of my favorite models ever. There’s something about her that’ll always make me feel peaceful when looking at that modest but in the same time completely mind blowing beauty. She entered the St. John ad campaign (the same St. John with Angelina Jolie as spokesface for the last few seasons) for [...]

It’s not everyday you come across a fashion spread of 100 plus pages in a single magazine issue. Fashion goes beyond white. Vogue Italy decided to show the world how a black issue is made and with whom. Except the cover-girls (

One of my favorite models, Liya Kebede is on the cover of Harper’s Bazaar, the UK edition for May 2008.
