Vionnet Spring RTW 2012



vionnet received a good press after madonna wore its 30s inspired dress to the venice film festival. 
rodolfo paglialunga of vionnet explained its bright spring 2012 collection as, "everything in life is so hard now, i wanted a return to beauty and elegance." so he did a 30s inspired collection which also was the era when vionnet was flourishing. there were definitely some iffy pieces and some that looked like paglialunga was trying too hard, putting too much stuff in one look. to me, the best pieces were the simple, clean designs that speak for themselves.

Stealing Beauty / Elle October 2002

awesome





i really liked this editorial with all the beautiful haute couture creations.
as much as i enjoy seeing the current fashion designs, i really love the past designs of the 90s and early 2000s.
to me, for some reasons, designs of this particular period triumphs that of the present.

Off-Catwalk Scene During NYFW




before we dive into london fasion week (exciting!), i thought i would do a closing post to new york fashion week. 
these are off-catwalk scenes during nyfw, shot by tommy ton and streetfsn.
off-catwalk is probably as exciting as the catwalk.

Style: Carine Roitfeld & Daytime Wear



being a stylist for 20 plus years and having significantly inspired the gucci collection of the 90s, it's only obvious that carine roitfeld has great sense of style. i like her no-fuss, simple, and sleek style. of course i love seeing anna dello russo with her extravagance but i relate to roitfeld's realistic yet super chic style more.

Altuzarra Spring RTW 2012




great collection!
with new york fashion shows, it's usually more casual and very ready-to-wear than the european shows. and when it comes to casual wear i lean towards the urban-chic style (hence my liking for alexander wang and helmut lang). altuzarra also did a wonderful urban wear with sporty element and prints, which seem to be one of the trends for spring 2012. i didn't see too much originality since some of the designs and silhouettes were seen before in other collections but still very solid collection. 


Kate Winslet / V Magazine #73

one of my favorite actresses. such a talent. i think she could one day become meryl streep-type of a person in hollywood....although meryl streep is a force of her own and probably can't be replaced!
on another note, this editorial has awesome jewelry.
