Christoph Waltz, Ben Whishaw, Ezra Miller In Prada Fall 2013 Ad Campaign

When it comes to vision and artistic approach, you have to agree that Miuccia Prada makes for the most interesting perspectives on fashion and style in general. Her Fall 2013 Men Ad Campaign features yet again famous men we see and admire in our daily entertainment routine: Christoph Waltz, Ben Whishaw and Ezra Miller.

The chromatic of the setting and the sober, almost strict approach of the styling with a little help from David Sims cameras point towards a successful, steady marketing approach. The clothes are very wearable and pleasantly fashionable without being too much or too complicated, as usually, Prada’s aesthetic is a very oriented one, strong and with a clear, precise trajectory and target.

Halle Berry – an undoubtedly stunning beauty in her day to day life is pregnant. For the second time. But you might have already read about that in the lifestyle pages of various magazines who are consistently following Halle and her life happenings. Especially since she’s a priceless source of gossip (remember that Halle Berry has also a daughter with male model Gabriel Aubry and he has proven to be pretty recalcitrant about her present relationship with Olivier Martinez).

However, at 46, Halle is a gorgeous pregnant lady who seems to be glowing inside out and pretty conscious about it too. Otherwise she wouldn’t go for the type of pregnant wardrobe she’s choosing for her outings. Confidence exudes through her every pore.

In a flawless physical shape, Halle is showing off her gorgeous legs in one of my favorite outfits: a twisted ombre black-grey-white skirt and a simple black top. Loving every inch of that skirt and admiring the way it dresses her up!

While reviewing the Haute Couture shows from the Fall 2013 season, I noticed something new proposed on the Chanel runway. Something rather intriguing as we’re used to a new nail polish color pouring down from Der Kaiser’s presentations!

So my dahlings, start saving on your nail polish budget only to throw yourself full speed on rings! Marcasite adjustable rings are the new nails do / must wear jewelry. Come to think of it, while the average Chanel nail polish comes with a $27 price tag and the average sterling silver simple toe ring comes with a $3 price tag. We’re in for a real accessories/beauty deal if we’re to bet on Chanel!

There’s a real timeless quality to a real artist. Something about him or her keeps it relevant and vital above time and space, above trends and mood shifts. And that’s the artist’s trademark. That’s where the art really is. That’s where you’ll always find quality.

I’ve always been pleasantly surprised by Prince and his eccentric ways. Be it in music or in any of his art’s manifestations, Prince knew how to adapt and continue doing what he loves. He knew how to deliver what was expected of him and more. Beyond ‘le gout du jour’, you had Prince always cooking his specific purple meals! Talking about purple: this preview of the Fall 2013 issue of V Magazine is stunning and proves the above points: Prince as photographed by Inez and Vinoodh makes a stunning impression.

We live in fast times, my dahlings. And although everyone knows the chaos that is the Fashion Week, every season, the ever growing need to clone or multiply one’s intellectual receptors as to cover every show, concentrate reviews and short guides are still in high demand. Because, honestly, once the Fashion Week craze wraps up, nobody has time and disposition to watch all the shows endlessly. Quick and complete, that’s what I’ll do.

From StyleFrizz’s perspective, the Haute Couture collections (and designers) have clearly separated in two distinct camps: the elegant/Red Carpet/classic camp and the young/unisex/active camp. One of the main differences? Where the Classic Couture Camp will use sheer and transparency, the Active Camp will straightforwardly show the skin (don’t stop here, there’s so much more after the jump!)

Clearly wearing leather is a challenge in itself but also a durable experience that will take you through the years over and over again, keep your leather close and imprinted with every movement and every new wearing experience.

Una Burke’s leather creations seem as experimental as they are wearable and choosing one of her crafty models is a statement in itself as they go from restraints-like body corsets to simple belts, necklaces or bags. It’s a leather experiment in the works and it’s getting more and more coverage.

When you’re famous it almost sounds easy to be a working mom, doesn’t it? Just look at Penelope Cruz (and her sister Monica Cruz): they’ve done so many things together, at least fashion-wise, and I can’t notice a single stress wrinkle on their face… As we speak, the two Cruz sisters joined their creative efforts to design a collection of bags for Loewe.

The fashion house’s Fall Winter 2013 2014 ad campaign features Penelope Cruz as photographed by Mert and Marcus, showcasing the said designs on the rooftop of the Casino de Madrid on a cloudy day. It’s all lovely and colorful, despite the gloomy skies as Penelope wears some bright accents (be it the leather gloves or the patterned coat) and I’m certain it will make for a very successful campaign.

Instant classic. We even have a kiddies guitar playing Oye Como Va. You can’t get more classic than that. When your music is so melodic and so recognizable that you can put it on a kiddies toy, you just reached the peak of recognition. And Santana is there for years, still going strong.

For this week, I thought about something epic. Something familiar yet always charming, always strong, always close to one’s heart. The Black Magic Woman/Gypsy Queen/Oye Como Va medley performed live by Carlos Santana in 1992 is just so epic, there’s so much music there that your feet would want to dance on their own!
