The New Sexy


Supermodel Karolina Kurkova gave us a taste of the new sexy in British ELLE’s November issue.
In both YSL platforms and patent-leather Chloé heels, the definition of sexy shoes, Karolina looked absolutely gorgeous. ELLE’s ultimate fashion buy this month is a blouse as she wears in all of the photos. Celebration of femininity and taking sexiness to a higher level has been an important part of this season, and if the temperature hasn’t rised before, it certanly did know. So, why not invest in the perfect blouse?

All that glitters



There’s no reason to give up on yourself and tumble around in layers of hideous clothing just to avoid the cold this winter. You can look as fabulous as the models at Balmain’s catwalk show in Paris if you just make an effort. Let yourself shine, literally, with this season’s must have wardrobe pieces of glittering sequin. Whether you choose a sequin dress or sequined trousers you don’t have to worry about feeling too dressed up as long as

I couldn’t resist bringing up this photo from the Spellbound editorial out of V mag’s November 07 issue. The Styling is absolutely phenomenal in this shot and I dont think I have ever seen a more fabulous coat. Few words can measure the greatness of this shot so I’ll leave it to the viewers to indulge.

Ad Season Preview


Agyness Deyn Georgio Armani Cell Ad Agyness Deyn

Above is the new Georgio Armani cell phone ad. Agyness Deyn is the model in the picture, but doesn’t she look alot like Christy Turlington? She looks great, but she also looks ten years older. Amazing what makeup can do, since Agyness Deyn looks nothing like herself in the ads.

Ad season is coming up, and I’m excited to see some beautiful fashion campaigns. Quick update, M.I.A. is the face for Marc for Marc Jacobs and Olga Sherer is the model for the Lanvin ads.

Check out Alexandre Duret-Lutz, a Paris-born photographer who uses his Pentax K10 to focus on spherical panoramas and Escheresque spirals. His photos have got a beautiful,mathematical style to them, ( not that i’ve figured out the equation though!) and each time I look at them, my eye finds something it did not see the first time around.

Endovanera


Endovanera Endovanera Endovanera

LA Menswear label Endovanera ( Yes, it sounds like end-of-an-era) is an up-and-coming line that you’ve got to take notice of now. David Michael Hershberger and Mitch Moseley make up the design duo that utilizes precise tailoring techniques defining their old-school American vibe. Their F/W collection is in large inspired by vintage military garments. Double breasted shirts, and tapered pants, subtle details in the form of hand-sewn buttons, curduroy pockets, contrasting liners, ribbon trim; all cloaked in dark cottons and wools sums up the Fall 08 aesthetic for Endovanera.

Models, AKA Journalists?


Naomi Campbell Fidel Castro

Naomi Campbell can add “investigative journalist” to her resume. She’s been granted an audience with GQ magazine, and will interview political firebrands, Fidel Castro being first up.

I just never saw her having any interest in politics. I wonder what she could have to ask?

A Dress To Fit Every Mood


Philips Dress Philips Dress

Philips is going through a complete makeover. I used to think Philips was just another t.v. company, but you must visit their Design Probes Project, the aim of understanding lifestyle post 2020. One of their cool projects ( in addition to projects concerning tattoos and jewelry) is called Skin: Dresses “which examines the future integration of sensitive materials in the area of emotional sensing – the shift from ‘ intelligent’ to ‘sensitive’ products and technologies.” These Bubelle dresses are composed of two layers, the inner layer has biometric sensors that pick up a person’s emotions and projects them in colors onto the second layer, the outer textile. The dress also changes color according to our emotional state. Like a mood ring, but a mood dress.

The shift from intelligent to sensitive…really interesting concepts they are playing with at Philips. Yes, the way we dress is first and foremost dictated by our mood and Philips is taking our emotive dressing to a future level. Susie Bubble ( whom I adore for her camera-in-her-face-as-she-styles-outfits-btw Happy Birthday Susie!!!) asks “Do I want everybody in the world watching me feel either elation, embarrassment, anger or attraction as I swan around in this Bubelle dress on the streets…”

I agree with her, I definitely don’t need the world to know how moody I really am, BUT conceptually I love what Philips is doing to blend fashion and technology, an area that we are seeing merge more and more.

Kartoon Kouture by Soren Bach


Soren Bach Soren Bach Soren Bach Soren Bach

Wild and vibrant, this trend is not for the weak. Soren Bach creates eccentric head pieces for his Spring 2008 catwalk. I’m inundated with hats that are “rediscovered vintage looks,” and this is why Soren Bach leads the mad hatters to forward progression that is both shocking and stunning.

The Freshest Fashion of Our Generation


21.jpg 51.jpg

10.jpg 18.jpg


Its been a year and a half since he dressed the graduating runway for CSM with the freshest looks I have seen in years. Something truly new. Something with an undeniably deep inspiration and someone with an instinct that fashion eyes are keeping close tabs on. With only 3 seasons under his belt, Christopher Kane has made it very clear that he is one of the leading designers of our generation, at only 24 years old. Introducing himself with his deliciously colored 90’s inspired bondage dresses, finished with an impeccable attention to detail for Spring 07, he had me in awe. Where would he go next, how would he translate this aesthetic into the next season, and there came Fall 2007, another shocker! Not what I expected but so sexy and exciting still. The combinations of fabrics included leather, velvet, metallic details and over-sized gemstones with a Victorian inspiration; still a feeling of that 90’s nostalgia. It was flirty, but serious and sophisticated. And now here we are for Spring 08 with yet another beautifully calculated collection and yet another surprise. Using snake skin printed chiffon frou frou juxtaposed with tattered denims he was able to continuously portray this super sexy, feminine but dangerous woman. This change of track that he has taken his bystanders on has been able to maintain one constant factor of the equation, the Christopher Kaness of it all. Its so early in his career to say something like this but his range of exploration has proven that his name will only continue to grow and influence the future and history of fashion.

You’ve got to check out top shoe designer Jonathan Kelsey, who learned his trade with Jimmy Choo. ( Fashion runs in his family, his cousin Stuart Vevers won the Accessory Designer of the Year at the 2006 British Fashion Awards.) The shoes have a kind of polish and sophistication that I enjoy but with a rock ‘n’ roll edge that any age group will lust over.

They are available now at Saks 5th Avenue.

Pre-Fall runway collections are becoming more and more the norm. Chanel showcased their Pre-Fall 2008 Collection this past Friday. The show was inspired by “English chic,” and the looks were something modern-day Victorian punk, mixed with Beatnik style hair and makeup.

Zac Posen also had his Pre-Fall 2008 collection as well, with a “poodle ballet” theme. His styles focused on comfort and ease. More known for his evening wear, his dresses are feminine and sweet
