These designs date back to the early to middle sixties when Marc Bohan was heading Christian Dior.
I’m adoring these.
I thank “experiments in the lab” for their post!

Shown in Milan a couple days ago — I think it’s probably one of the most amazing collection from the Italian runway for the FW08-09 season. Trend les Copains has created a collection that doesn’t just look extremely wearable and chic, the pieces from the collection also seem to be extremely feminine and beautiful.
The models [...]

Well, the holiday season is now upon us and I, for one could not be happier. I love this time of year, mostly because of the smiles and laughter that abound, but also because of the beautiful fashions that we have a chance to show off. Here are a few of the top looks for [...]

Now this is more like it. The Phillip Lim collection is fabulous. All these pieces are so totally normal and wearable. I love it! Even the colors are perfect. From the belted dresses to the pleated trousers, I’m telling you I would wear everything in this collection. Except of course for the menswear, but it’s [...]

Diane Von Furstenberg is probably one of my all time favorite designers. This collection is so beautiful and elegant. The pieces are all so colorful and languid. It’s a perfect spring/summer collection. From the light fabrics to the beautiful colors, she’s got it all covered. The flowers and headpieces that the models wore just added [...]

The theme for Kevan Hall’s collection of Spring designs was a Safari, and he did a beautiful job promoting that theme. The show was designed to motivate and inspire people to support African related charities. Hall is working in collaboration with Jewels & Pinstripes, which is a celebrity gift bag service, to create five luxury [...]

This was a really beautiful collection. Now, I realize that I’m a little slow in getting you the pictures (the show was held last month), but they are definitely worth the wait. The whole theme seemed to be a 1920’s Bonnie and Clyde type feeling. I love the “flapper” look in many of the pieces. [...]

These pictures are from behind the scenes at the fashion show, and although the models all together and the general chaos going on around the designs is distracting, you can still get a feel for the collection. Overall, I wasn’t terribly impressed. I do like the clothes, and I especially love the hats, but the [...]

Was that Gareth Pugh or Peeeww? This is the, well I shouldn’t say the word, so let’s just say most unattractive collection that I have seen. The hats are even hideous, I mean, really, why the box over the model’s face? I’m not sure who actually wears these, maybe clubbers? Anyway, I do not see [...]

This is a beautiful and very colorful collection. Design duo Mark Eley and Wakako Kishimoto  did a wonderful job of capturing the essence of spring colors in these designs. I love the zebra print jacket in the first picture. As for the rest of the collection, it is wonderful to see someone put together colors [...]
