As the American Summer wanes, Fall looks have undoubtedly begun to circulate the minds and mouths of the fashion world. Women having the majority of say in purchasing decisions is an undeniable fact, reflected clearly through the following shoot. Supermodels taking hold of this corporate city, embracing well-tailored fitted pieces matched with looser yet structured forms. A black ensemble is set adjacent to a full blown leopard print guise [which one would assume to clash but in fact manages to blend ever so tastefully]. A plain oversized neutral coat is accented with just a tinge of metallic peeking out from beneath and those unexpected silk bunny ears Marc Jacobs got everyone talking about. And, of course, jeweled neck pieces almost overwhelming in size couldn’t hurt either. This particular Harper’s Bazaar editorial shot by Akrans emphasizes precisely what to watch out for within the coming months. See full spread on PaperMode.
I always loved Prada‘s creativity for their collection lookbook, designed by OMA/AMO / Rem Koolhaas – See here their fall/Winter 09 lookbook Download the entire lookbook here. Check also their 2008 lookbook here
The PRADA 2009 Spring/ Summer Ad campaign is stunning! According to VOGUE it was inspired by ” ancient stone bas-reliefs and a desire to return to basic emotional and physical dimensions in classical art and early culture”. It was shot by Steven Meisel.
Prada is just about to release their killer costume jewelry line for the Holidays. I am obsessed with the gaudy range of designs, the bold punch of gold in predominantly black pieces and the size. These pieces are definitely worth a $200- $800 investment. - first seen on NylonMag
trends in designer shoes 2008
2008 is particularly exciting in womens designer footwear trends. There are a few re-occurring design concepts such as color blocking, geometry, and the use of patent and suede leather that are dominating factors of this years must have’s. More than ever I feel like shoes are making the outfit, so you don’t need much else to pull the bombshell look off. Powerful shoes for powerful women!
We are seeing a lot of chunky but clean and very sexy wedges, open toe ankle boots and just ankle boots in general, and color patch work as seen in the Prada, Fendi, Pierre Hardy and Louboutin shoes featured above. My favorite Collection of shoes this Spring is definitely the Marni Collection. I could snatch just about each pair and wear them to death.
Don’t these tights remind you of Prada? They’re Anntian gradient tights that start off as rusty blue and fade into a yellowish hue. At $98 bucks, you better make sure you get as much wear in them as possible.
Eerie, disturbing, beautiful..just a few adjectives that come to mind when poring over these High Fashion Crime Scenes by Melanie Pullen. Her images are ” vintage crime-scene images,” found from the files of the LAPD and the County Coroner’s Office. She has worked with Prada, Louis Vuitton, Chloe, Gucci and Chanel.
A concurrent theme for Spring 2008 amongst the designers was Asian-inspired prints. Elements of Japanese, Chinese and Korean dress were infused in their designs. The Maxmara Communist China look is hot.
