Givenchy Haute Couture S/S 08

Straight from the catwalk in Paris, this Givenchy Haute Couture collection is amazingly ready to wear if you ask me. Beautiful, though — and still quite experimental. Riccardo Tisci is showing some real class at a really young age — and I’m really quite impressed.
My favorite looks are right below this paragraph — as you [...]

Udo Edling Haute Couture S/S 2008

When I first looked at the pictures from this Udo Edling Haute Couture show I wasn’t sure about whether or not I liked it… I looked over all the pics a second time — a third time — and I’m starting to understand the pure genius of this collection.
Pros:
+ Tights over the shoes look is [...]

Josep Font Haute Couture Spring/Summer 2008

I’m adoring quite a few of the new Haute Couture collections being shown in Paris — but this Josep Font Haute Couture collection for Spring/Summer 2008 is an absolute stormer… Daring silhouettes, sexy cuts and extraordinary color use…
I’ve been a fan of Josep Font for quite some time — and I’ve just become even more [...]

Boudicca Haute Couture Spring/Summer 2008

Zowie Broach and Brian Kirkby are geniusses. I’m loving their Haute Couture SS08 line, and I’m loving the catsuit so much I wish I was a billionaire. The 11th year of this great fashion house in the making is looking so promising — can’t wait to see more pics. Until then — here are the [...]

Jayson Brundson Spring/Summer 2008

This collection by Australian designer Jayson Brundson is stunning. All the designs are so feminine and beautiful, and nothing overdone, just beautiful fabrics, graphics, and designs. His label is inspired by the looks and lives of iconic women, and it really shows in his work. These dresses are absolutely beautiful, and again, they are so [...]

This year’s Hong Kong Fashion Week for Spring and Summer ‘08 was bigger than any before it. The event ran from July 10 – 13th and hosted exhibitors from 15 countries, along with a compelling New Fashion Collection Award.

Berlin Fashion Week, so Ideal

Berlin Fashion Week kicked off last week. And though everyone’s talking about the Hugo Boss show and subsequent celebrity-studded after party, I think the real goods can be found amongst the emerging designers and gallery exhibitions.
As always, Berlin is a city ready and willing to foster new talent. The Ideal Showroom, part of the week’s [...]

Haute Couture: The Sequel

It’s Saturday and the Haute Couture Fall/Winter showings at Paris Fashion Week are still over. Sigh again.
Yesterday, I was lamenting over Chanel’s boxiness, but don’t worry, there’s still hope for the curve. Check out Giorgio Armani Prive’s delightfully defined waistlines;

That last dress looks just about perfect for my hips. It actually seems to be based [...]
