Twisted Sister
I’ve had quite the fascination with belts the past few seasons. Call it a remnant, or perhaps a revival of the ’80s girl in me. I’ll feature a few or more of my faves for this season in an upcoming post. But this one, well, this one, I Wanna Rock right now. Phillip Lim has [...]
Flappergasted
The great recession of the Noughties? This is no Valley of Ashes, my friends. Decadence is still in full swing, where else, but at Chanel. Karl Lagerfeld recalled the roaring ’20s for his Resort 2010 collection for the House that flourished in the flapper era. The mix of prints, borders, low-slung belt and minauderie are perfect [...]
Thirties Something
Her Thirties. A time when a girl leaves crazy fashion experimentation behind and accepts the graceful woman that she is. The Thirties. An era of ultra femininity and grace in women’s fashion. These two examples from Erdem’s Resort 2010 collection echo both Thirties, albeit softly. Draping isn’t dramatic, florals don’t flash but the silhouette screams [...]
Anna Wintour’s 60 Minutes of Fame
The much anticipated glimpse into the enigma that is Anna Wintour finally aired on 60 Minutes this weekend. I certainly wasn’t a fan of the tone and the mockery by Morley Safer of the fashion set, but there are good sound bites from Karl, Nicholas Ghesquière and ALT. You can ignore all the bias, the narration, the [...]
I have the Hicuffs
Ever have the hiccups? Gasping for breath every few minutes? I felt the same way when I saw these charmers. Not a cuff, really…more of an arm climber… Filligree at it’s finest. Frill without the fuss. Leave it to Karl Lagerfeld to deliver something truly unique and new. Ornamented and anything but ordinary. Photos from [...]
Sneak Preview of Anna Wintour on 60 Minutes
Your friend and mine, Anna Wintour will be on 60 Minutes this Sunday (in case you live on the outskirts of fashion and aren’t aware). NY Mag just posted a sneak peek on their blog. Had to share! Oh Ms. Wintour, how we love thee! Counting the days until the full interview on Sunday…
Covered in Coral
Lots of designers were hanging out by the ocean while thinking about their Spring 09 shows. Gucci rocked the South Seas gowns but some designers dove deeper for inspiration from the coral reefs. Andrew Gn SS09 Andrew Gn was obviously inspired by kaftans for his reef evening dress. It’s simple enough for an early dinner al [...]
Rock Solid Style
Jewels. Fools we are for falling in love. Shove aside reason. These rocks rock any season. And what’s that on your hand? Stand by sister, you need no Mister to make your finger spark. Make your own dizzying, dazzling mark. Photos and availability from www.iradjmoini.com.
Déjà Vu: Balmain vs. Morrissey
Steven Patrick Morrissey – hair apparent of the ’80s scene… …as seen inspiring Balmain Homme FW09 recently… Interesting how Moz has kept the same look fresh all these years. Turning 50 this past week, he shows us that true style never fades. We owe trimmed and tousled haircuts, big shirts, skinny low jeans and flowers hanging out of [...]
Moms: our style icons for life
While my mother may not be a fashionista, she is my number one reader. So, to my mom, who has shown me that strength, warmth and grace should always be something you wear, I say… (Karolina Kurkova in Viktor & Rolf at the Met’s Costume Institute Gala, 2008.)
This Charming Man
“I would go out tonight…but I haven’t got a stitch to wear…” When the ’80s were good, they were very, very good. While the rest of the world is obsessed with the “return” of the harem pant (I am a desi girl, so salwars and churridars will always rock my world, regardless of trend), I [...]
A Prince or Ten Among Men
All this recent talk of prints and Princes reminded me of the regal state of menswear lately. Old world princes are to be had whether it’s Rajput or recent influence. Raghavendra Rathore has the lineage – both royal and rag-trade. His family origins date back to the maharajahs of Jodhpur and he’s trained at Parsons, [...]
