Paris Mens Fashion Week: Days 3 & 4 (Au Revoir, Mon Petit Ami)
So for my final piece on the third and fourth full days of Paris Fashion Week for men, I figured I’d take a stab at stronger collections. Overall, it was a great season, with a lot of hits, a few poorly-aimed misses, and a need for even more outerwear (not at these shows, but in [...]
Charlize Theron in Christian Dior: J’Adore Charlize
Just call her Miss Dior. At the premiere of her new film, “Young Adult,” in New York City last week, Charlize Theron stayed dedicated to her tried and true label. If you were the couture fashion house, wouldn’t you want to dress her for every occasion, too? This just goes to show there is nothing [...]
Christian Dior Fall 2011 Couture Collection : The Sad Clown?
Sending in the clowns at Dior?! Who is next? We knew the party was over for John Galliano, and now it looks like the festivities might be dying down at the legendary house – at least for the moment. Though I didn’t have very high expectations for the Dior Couture show without Galliano at the [...]
Dior Fall 2010
John Galliano is in fine form for fall/winter, expounding on his January couture show to deliver a collection that harked on ever-so familiar territory for the showman. Sending out a historically inspired collection best described as “equestrian-meets-Marie Antoinette-in-the-boudoir romp” and inspired by 18th-century libertine poet John Wilmot and second Earl of Rochester, it was the [...]
Will Asians save Haute Couture?
Chanel Haute Couture on display at Flagship boutique in Ginza WWD reported this morning that an influx of younger clients from fast-developing Asian markets is helping to lift Europe’s few remaining couture houses. I was not surprised to read that Haute Couture houses are looking at Asia, specifically young Asian women in their 30s-40s, to [...]
Dior spring 2010
I am insanely fetishing over these Dior shoes! Yeah yeah, the dresses are the usual fabulosity frocks that socials will clamor over for events but the shoes are all I care about! Just look at them, totally and sickeningly gorgeous! It will be hard to limit myself but I am only going to order one [...]
Snob Outfit of the Day: Kate Mara
This has got to be the sweetest outfit I’ve seen all year. Kate Mara (no idea who she is, someone please enlighten me) rocks Dior‘s frilly dress with a fabulous white laser cut Oscar de la Renta belt (I ordered mine at the trunk show, can’t wait to get it!! Email Mindy at Oscar to [...]
Sarah Jessica Parker poufs it up in Christian Dior Haute Couture
I love the drama of this beautiful Dior haute couture dress but it is more wedding cake top appropriate than red carpet appropriate, in a color Parker describes as “barely mint”. And, uh, Haute Couture is custom made to fit, which the top part obviously doesn’t. I am thinking it was one of Carrie’s wedding [...]
Cate Blanchett is one hot mama!
Wait, didn’t Cate Blanchett just have her second child? How did she slim down so fast? The new mom flaunts her fabulously curvy post-baby body in a chic black Armani Prive dress and Roger Vivier heels at the Helpmann Awards, which honors achievements in Australian theater, in Sydney. There are so many things I love [...]
