YSL Fall 13'

_ARC0122.450x675.JPG
Were you thinking what I was thinking when I first saw this collection? Something like "What the hell?" I didn't sugarcoat my surprise when I saw the pieces in this show. So not what I was expecting from YSL. Heidi Slimane knocked it out of the park for Spring 13' so what happened here? I'm all about changing things up but I seriously wondered if he had overindulged in 'spirits' while designing this collection or just had Marc Jacobs circa 1992 on the brain the whole time. Case in point:

Tom Ford for YSL Staring KiK Vantage.

 Let's start with heels....
Ok, on to the good stuff ;-). My love of Tom Ford for YSL is well known. I die for those collections. Been wondering what to pair with a skirt I have from his Fall 02' collection and I finally came up with something quite perfect - my KiK Vantage 'Skulls'

 KiK Vantage is my dear friend Katrina's line of modern casual separates. In Katrina's words, "KiK is individualism, and it is empowerment. KiK's wearer is confident, carrying with them an open heart and a rock-star

Yeeeesss, we all know what Tom Ford did for Gucci, but a lesser population realizes that his creations for Yves Saint Laurent were just as iconic. The master and the master. Genius combination.

Paris Fashion Week is over.

Last time I left you, we found a way to stay sober while keeping a sexy silhouette. Sober we'll stay, and we'll love to dress out like if it was a costume ball.

The long-awaited return of Hedi Slimane in fashion ended with his first womenswear collection for Saint Laurent: the designer offers us a witchy-70's look, with a hint of a gothic spirit in the air - hats are compulsory. The Saint-Laure

Waiter-May I Have the Bill Please?



Nikki Beach Restaurant Bill

From Benjamin Kanarek Blog

Crises? What Crisis?  My girlfriend's father sent us this photo circulating on the net from the Nikki Beach Restaurant in Saint Tropez, France  that was obviously photographed with a cell phone and shared on the internet. What is even more amazing is that it is a lunch bill.

Nikki Beach

I would love to know what diner cost them? Or to put things in another perspective, what can you buy for around 107,000 Euros? You can purchase  around 10 Volksw

That's so New York - Despite the fact that London-based designer and Central Saint Martins graduate Richard Nicoll posts regularly in his very own section of The Vogue Blog, I will admit that his work is still somewhat new to me and as a person, Nicoll is not someone I have delved deeply into when it comes to flicking through magazines, reading collection reviews and even carrying out a little research every now and then.

Heidi Mottram: Part Two of Two

8842962276?profile=original

That's So New YorkThe majority of you may recall my post which introduced a handful of my favorite products from London, United Kingdom-based Eel Skin bag designer, Heidi Mottram, titled Heidi Mottram: Part One of Two a week or so ago; yes, you may have guessed that this is the second part of that same post, yet instead I thought that I would venture a little more in depth in regards to Heidi's background, which I have to admit triggered various feelings of surprise after a first read. I mean

You’ve just received the email that you’ve spent your entire college career waiting for: The request for an interview for a dream job. Once you get past your initial excitement (which might take a few hours) and actually schedule the interview, you got two other problems on your hands: What to wear and what to do with your makeup. Sure, this topic is covered to death, but most of it is aimed at rigid Wall Street executive types, and if you’re applying for a much more relaxed office, you’re allow

Stefano Pilati understands Yves Saint Laurent's vision, perfectly shown in the new Autumn-Winter collection. Pilati takes us back to the very roots of YSL's humble, and simple beginnings as a designer and as a Fashion Label. Pilati gives us the essence of YSL's silhouette. The collection was not all black, there were complete looks in solid colors such as yellow, purple, and hot pink.
