Fall Prep 13'

The weather recently has been perfect to start mixing in Fall pieces. A new season (or weather that mimics a new season) always gets me excited!
 Playing around with Polyvore, I came up with an ensemble I'm so ready to wear.

Versailles 73'.

Screen-Shot-2012-08-08-at-1_42_15-PM.png
Yesterday and friend and I went to see this film. We loved it. For those not familiar, Versailles 73' chronicles the 'battle' between five American designers- Oscar de la Renta, Halston, Stephen Burrows, Bill Blass & Ann Klein and five French designers- Yves Saint Laurent, Givenchy, Dior, Pierre Cardin & Emanual Ungaro. American designers at that time weren't taken seriously by the classically trained French couturiers but this show changed the way we see runway fashion today.

It’s Friday evening and the start of Oscar weekend. As I look out of my window, from high up in the Hollywood hills, I can barely see through the heavy mist and fog. My hairdresser and manicurist are both running late due to the treacherous rain and gridlock traffic.


The dress I had planned on wearing is not suitable for this type of weather and without sounding te

From Benjamin Kanarek Blog

The fashion Industry was in uproar last week after John Galliano was dismissed as Creative Director from Christian Dior following numerous anti-Semitic allegations made against the designer. Galliano has denied all allegations made against him and claimed that he is of partial Jewish ancestry, although this has not been verified. The dismissal on 1st March came immediately following the release of a video clip of the designer, who was unquestionably in

I have been observing the evolution of Haider Ackermann for several seasons, as he is one of my favorite new designers when it comes to womens' clothing. In my humble opinion, his last two seasons in Paris outclassed all of the other Designers' Women Collections by a long shot.

Fashion houses are reaching out—far, far out—to clients, and the extra effort is paying off in couture sales. WWD recently discussed the high—and widespread— demand for couture, and we found their tactics to be…well, really interesting. Forget your prototypical snobby reputation of the high-end fashion world—because these houses are going miles (literally) for their clients.

In an exclusive interview with WWD, Givenchy designer Riccardo Tisci kept things, well… exclusive. Starting next month, Givenchy is dropping the runway in favor of an appointment-only preview for their fall couture collection. The ten elaborate evening wear looks will be shown in an 18th-Century
townhouse on the Place Vendôme (in Paris) to top editors and Givenchy’s (royal) clients… and that’s it.
