Spring 2008 marks the end of an era, as Valentino presented his last ever ready-to-wear collection for the season, before his retirement earlier this year. So if any of you out there have harbored any vague fantasy about owning a Valentino (unlikely, but that’s why they call it a fantasy,) this is probably the last [...]

Monique Lhuillier Spring 2008 Ready To Wear

We’ve already shown you the Monique Lhuillier Fall/Winter 2008-2009 - today, the spring RTW!

Valentino Rock n’ Rose Couture Eau De Parfum

Louis Vuitton Spring 2008 Collection

Louis Vuitton designer Marc Jacobs capped off Paris fashion week with a surprising and delightfully naughty presentation of his Spring 2008 collection. The handbags, carried down the runway by models decked in sassy see-through plastic nurse outfits worn over candy-colored mini-dresses, were a refreshing contradiction to the subtle elegance usually identified with the luxe brand.

Melissa Shoes: Fantastic Plastic Comeback

When I was in the 6 years old, I saw a pair of plastic shoes being sold by a sidewalk vendor for 30cents at a downtown bazaar. The shoes were shiny black, shaped like ballet flats, with a cut-out design over the entire surface. It was love at first sight. I begged my mom to [...]

Kristian Aadnevik just showd his Versace collection a couple weeks ago but these designs are his own — shown on the catwalk in Milan.
