Bold Fall Accessories

By: Evelyn

This Fall: Go Bold or Go home!

Chunky and bold accessories are this season’s must have in jewelry. Wear pieces that make a statement as you dress up an outfit. Fall is all about layering jewelry with great bib necklaces, over-sized cuffs, or large cocktail rings. Great colors to rock are gold and bronze, which give that warm look that fall represents.

Tip: When layering necklaces mix and match different lengths and sizes together. For an even bigger pop, mix different metals and bright colors!

Alexander McQueen Recap

By: Evelyn

On Tuesday the Alexander McQueen Spring 2011 collection debuted at Paris Fashion Week. This was the first collection after the passing of McQueen and is the first collection designed for the brand by Sarah Burton. The collection was a huge success and Burton is receiving much acclaim for her work.

The collection had all the quirks we love of McQueen. It looked and felt like McQueen. Notably there was an underlying harvest and rebirth theme. With this collection Burton has officially established herself as the worthy successor of McQueen.

What do you think of the collection?

Chanel Sping 2011 Recap

By: Evelyn

Yesterday the Spring 2011 Chanel collection made its way down the catwalk at Paris Fashion Week. Staged by Karl Lagerfeld throughout the entire Grand Palais, Chanel put on a show to be remembered. Lagerfeld created a garden like setting with fountains, borders, and stones. There was no grass in sight, but a lot of whimsy.

The show started with distressed pieces only Chanel could pull off. Lots of fake holes and unfinished edges. All in all everything was quite extravagant. The only way Laferfeld would have it done. The color pallet was black and white with some pops of pink and yellow. There were lots of pieces we have come to expect and love from Chanel; cropped tweed jackets, leather, fitted minis, and suit sets. Everything was lavished in embroidery, feathers, and bead work.

The pièce de résistance was a toddler walking down the catwalk in head to toe Chanel. Is this the sign of the future for this luxury brand? Only time will tell!

Lanvin at Paris Fashion Week

By: Evelyn

On Friday October 1st, Lanvin showed it’s Spring 2011 collection.

Designer Alber Elbaz designed his collection for the real woman. One who knows what she wants and calls the shots. Fashion doesn’t control her life, it enhances it. We saw all of this in his collection which had both strength and glamor. This is what Elbaz had to say himself about his collection, “The whole idea of fashion is to make women fly and to make women beautiful, and to make women glamorous. This is the story of the collection.”

The collection included long flowy skirts and dresses combined with body suits and harnesses. Some pieces had a unique combination of flow and structure. The color pallet included lots of browns, black, and navy with pops of colors like red, pink, and yellow. Several pieces at the end of the collection had exquisite jewel and bead work.
